  • Call Me by My Name is a comedy about a young Chinese lady’s battle with her identity in America. She goes to her Chinese name as the source of her problems, only to be met with pushbacks from people around her, and above her - the female general ancestor. These moments make Jessie, our main lady, eventually realize what’s the actual core of her existence.

    THREE EPISODES IN ONE DAY?!?!?!

    • @Kairava

      But the other 2 seem to be behind the scenes. NVM Thanks so much for your comment! D:

      @@Kairava Hi. It is three 10-12 minutes continuing episodes.
      Episode 1: 'Jessie'. Episode 2: 'Blender'. Episode 3: 'Super Asian'
      (yeh Ep 1 is only 9:49 - close enough to 10 minutes).
      Don't know why you would think other episodes are "behind the scenes".
      Series just goes to many office & work scenes, after this one
      Episode numbers are it top right corner of the thumbnail.
      Jessie did upload 3 episodes in 1 day. UA-cam uploads can be scheduled days or weeks in advance though. However Jessie probably did put them all up in same day, considering how much work she puts into her content.
      After typing this I thought i'd check what NVM means. As not seen that (not quite an) acronym before, & I'm on youtube a lot and read comments a lot. So re what I just typed, above, in the paragraph above, NVrMnd

    Aw. I was fortunate. My Asian parents actually named me "Jessie" right off the bat. I also had an informal Chinese name, that mainly only my paternal grandparents used (everyone else called me "Jessie". But later as an adult, I became enamored with the French language and legally changed it to "Sophie". I never had identity struggles with whether to keep a Chinese name or not. Possibly because it was always assumed that we live here now; we would have American names if we wanted. Before I was even born, when my dad's family came here from Hong Kong, two of my dad's brothers also changed their names to American names - "Shui" to "Leonard" and "Wing" to "James". No one made an issue of it or anything. And informally, at family gatherings, they go by both names. And changing names absolutely did not mean we were abandoning the Chinese culture at all! Just embracing our new one!

      Cool. One observation. I see that in the States, Asian people call themselves Asian, while say a Polish American will be a Polish American, we don't call ourselves European or White Americans, or at least I don't think so, I've not seen that from my contacts there. Is it not really the case with your communities that you'd rather be Vietnamese American or Korean American or ... -American? As I live in an English speaking country and studied in a mostly English university and have accreditation in the UK and US as well as here, I use an English version of my Polish name unofficially. English people can't say Polish names and so, as many are derived from Jewish/Greek/Latin names eg John = Jan, it's possible to use the English version to have the same meaning. But English people are still bad. I found other ethnicity, white and non white to be better at saying my original name, but they also struggle. I've known Taiwanese people here and for the most part they also assumed English names as first names.

    So, as someone who started going by a different name than my birthname, I call Azriel my "real" name and my birth/adoptive name as my "passport" name. I don't want to go about all the trouble of changing my documents to Azriel, but that's the name I want to be called. I loved the episode and the struggle!

    As an Asian in Australia, I learned that Chinese names are too difficult for an English speaking person to pronounce, therefore I use an English first name and keep my Chinese name as the middle name. Last name stays the same of course
