Hoping this video reached you, I hope you had a good time celebrating Christmas with your family, a time to love a time to share, all the way from China I wish you all over the world Merry Christmas with love and abundance. How and where did you celebrate this day?
Hello & happy holidays! Thanks for the video! I'm celebrating Christmas and New Years in the U.S. I'm spending quality time with family and friend enjoying different cultural foods. Tomorrow will be hot pot with friends. New Years will be oxtails! I hope you have an amazing happy safe and blessed holiday season!
I'm always surprised by the lack of understanding about skin color and the creative ideas & misconceptions about "turning white." Thanks for sharing a teachable moment & not becoming upset or offended. People come in various shades of brown. We will not become white over time by changing locations. It is genetically impossible unless there is a medical condition. Contrary to common belief, I can't speak for others, but I have no desire to be white. I'm comfortable in my own skin. I dont believe having lighter or darker skin makes anyone better or worse. We are all unique individuals and should be respected and treated as such.
Well said I started to respond in a way that would not have been as nice as you stated. Don’t understand how they ask the questions that they ask. Do they not have access to the world and know that there are people that come in al shades and colors besides white?
Nice stuff, my dad is from Sudan and is 8.5 on the blackter scale. He speaks with a Beijing accent. He shocks people with his accent as it's perfect. They wouldn't know he's not Chinese without seeing him. My mum's European and they met in china where he was studying medicine and my mum Chinese. Both speak completely fluently.
The brother is fluent in Chinese and it's impressive in daily interactions with locals and surprisingly one can detect Chinese dialect in his spoken English language. Either way is impressive!
Have the same if I am somewhere for a while. Can not do accents on command. But automatically adopt them. So that when I travel on, people ask me of I am from where I just came. Chinese though, to strange to me. Ome of those languages my ear van not distinguish certain sounds and nuances. To be fair, never put te into it.
This was great. I enjoyed your comment about believing in yourself and having self-confidence. It's funny, doesn't matter where someone goes, they're going to find a hater somewhere, racist or otherwise. Happy trails!
I am mixed breed; Spanish and German in New Mexico, USA. Some Hispanics did not like me because I am White to them. Some Anglos did not like me because I am Spanish. Go figure. I was born me!
Your constant uplifting attitude is what will get you far in life! I believe the “locals” aren’t used to seeing a person of color who can also speak their language….and it’s different! Then they don’t know what to say…Will you get whiter? 😳 Happy holidays!
Depends on where you are in China. Mind a good bunch of the billion have never or rarely seen foreigners on their streets. Let ne ones that understand and speak Chinese. Traveled with ome. They always looked pleasently surprised he could speak and read their language.
There are nice and nasty people in every country/ community. The real deal is that most locals will appreciate and like you if you have made the efforts to learn the local language. I see from your videos the love you get and most of the locals think your language knowledge is better than what you think it is.
Agreed, I think the ladies at the butcher were kind and decent people, one of them couldn't stop smiling...her first eye contact was totally positive and welcoming, that is something that is either there, or it isn't.
UA-cam, I’m not fighting with you today. If you want to allow stupid people to say stupid things and not allow me to tell them how stupid they sound, that’s fine. I’m not ending this year angry with you, because I’m seriously using this year to get justice from you, for all the violations of my right to freedom of speech when you deleted and STILL delete all of my posts. I’m tired of fighting with you in this manner. I’m gonna fight with YOU in the legal system! And YOU’RE gonna LOSE! 🫵🏾😏
The “algorithm” won’t allow me to tell you what a load of 🐂💩 that is, but that’s why I’m going to report this platform to the FBI in 2025! There’s no way I’m putting up with one more year of this shit. I’m heading on down to 26 Federal Plaza, 23rd floor, and I’m coming with INVOICES, forget receipts!
As an older Black woman here in California, I love your videos! Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family 🎊. God be with you all and may y'all have a prosperous life!✨💖🎊
The man at the beginning was pretty rude...but then you met that guy from another city, and he was very friendly! I think there are loving people and hateful people everywhere. I am in the USA and there are good and bad people here too. I try to see a person's heart. I try to be friendly and kind to everyone I meet. I think that is the way the world should be. Merry Christmas! 🎄Thank you for the very interesting video.
That is perfectly normal for people who go to the market to buy things in the market. I look like you but one of my grandfathers was chinese. My aim this new year is to learn the language as well as learning to read it too.
She thought it was a climate problem that we would turn white once we leave Africa. Glad you used diplomacy and explained we are Africans we come in many shades of black.
Of COURSE y’all are!!! Y’all LOVE it when they disrespect your melanin and call you a “different black”, because you don’t have as much of it as others. Ridiculous. 🙄
I’ve watched Itchy Boots travel all the world, people of all races treat her wonderfully. Up and above her smile and friendliness, being a female European blond plays a large roll. Life is not fair often.
Don't let the haters get next to you, You seem to be a nice guy who knows how to handle your own. Keep doing you Mike and I will keep watching you and your lovely wife and baby. It will always be negative people and haters, Just continue on, Out with the old , In with the New. Happy New Year🎉🎉
I went to India once with my Indian friends, one had moved from the Punjab at 8yrs old to UK and his wife was originally from the Gujarat. They were dressed in western clothes of course but the locals said to each other “Oh my god, that white man can speak Punjabi!” It was interesting that even though their skin colour was the same, the way they dressed made them seem white to the locals. This was back in 1995 so maybe wouldn’t happen now.
Thanks for this vlog! Ah ah! Always be careful when you speak your own language, thinking that you can't be understood by foreigners...🤪 I experienced this in England, as a student... Being in a group speaking in French in a park and hearing all sorts of insults and inappropriate comments (there were 4 of us girls)... The embarrassed surprise when we replied in English!..! Bah! There will always be ignorant people, disrespectful towards others. That's how this world goes! ...Fortunately, MOST OF the locals are not all like them and want to interact in a pleasant way.
It is nice that you and your partner want a simple life. And to live on your own terms. Hope you had a lovely Christmas! And thank you for the exposure. My step sister lived in China for a year after studying Chinese for 9 years. It is a very difficult language. Slight twist in the intonation can make it a totally different work. Your grasp of languages is stellar; and a gift.
Love your video brother, life is far from easy, it's not meant to be, but I'm glad you show a little slice of yours, very peaceful. Wish you and your lovely family merry christmas and the best for next year 🙏
Your exchanges are so human !! Thank you dear friend !! Nice light you're bringing to the world !! Keep up with the good work, Merci Monsieur !! Bonnes Fetes !!
And I thought the locals stared at this old white guy living in a small town in China. But dammit, I wish I knew the language like you do. Good for you!
Exactly...your talk from 10:53 is so very true.Marriage doesn't necessarily lead to happiness.Most times it ends up in the opposite.What really matters is the love and respect for your partner,which leads to true happiness.Wishing you all the good health,success and happiness for you and family.Watching from America 🇺🇸 😉🖐👍
So glad that you handle the hater with confidence Mike. Life is 10% of what happen and 90% of how we react to it 😎😎👍👍Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and your family
I was so happy to hear u say that ur wife doesn’t let her family and family tradition dictate how u and her will live life together. I just don’t believe every cultural tradition is right it doesn’t matter where u a from in the world. And believe u have to go along with them.
I've been studying Mandarin for about a year, and I have trouble understanding when people speak, but I can understand some of what you are saying, so thank you.
HI I WATCH YOU FOR A WHILE NOW YOU ARE A PLEASURE TO WATCH I LIKE THE WAY YOU SPEAK AND EXPLAIN THINGS TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR SEĹF AND FAMILY GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS KEEP GOING BROTHER DONT GIVE UP +WATCHING FROM UK +😊😊❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤+
You are so right Mike, there is a difference between family being involved (interested and connected) and involved (demanding and overbearing). We need extended family that are involved and empowered because it makes your family stronger. Especially when it might be time to help y'all fight to keep the family together and thriving.
First time viewer…I never ever heard people say one can turn whiter. Oh my❗️ Have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year❗️ I will definitely check out your other Vlogs.
Really great to see you show that interaction between you and the racist.Those that try to bully or single someone out for simply living their life should be put on video! Great job and support💪🏾🫶🏾🙏🏾
I ain’t gonna lie homie for as long as you’ve been doing videos in China I never as an American thought or seen any prejudice against you until this video those ladies where subtle prejudice and that man needed to get checked but I know u live there so take what u can Mike we as Black people gotta stick together
Stick together where you are the majority then. How do you plan to do it with him in China? Why is he in China ? The fact is many Chinese will say things that sound offensive to you because it is their way of communicating. Not because they are being rude.
@@lindc1070 They've not had many black faces for centuries, so it's a new curiosity and Chinese do tend to Blurt what they're thinking anyway... so even if Mike was white or even a Chinese raised in another country they'd know it and have something to say. 😉😂
It’s definitely crude and ignorant perhaps but not necessarily racist in and of itself. I think he just meant to say how unusual to see a black man here which of course it is. Even more than a white guy perhaps.
No one finds it offensive to want the Chinese to celebrate the day of the oppressor, it was almost a century of oppression, why should they celebrate that. I think it's great that they don't prohibit it.
Just found your channel. Loved your walk through the market and your interaction with the locals. I hope you enjoyed your Christmas. I wish you, your lady and baby a very Happy New Year!
Mke, like what you said, the most important thing is you and your wife is HAPPY, that beat everything anyone have to say about your lifestyles in China, cheers bro.
Thanks for sharing information on your time in China. Keep the blog going, and we can check on your progress, understanding of them, and their understanding of you. Thank you. I speak some Mandarin, but I find it better to just talk English when it is best for me. I have bought three houses in China and currently live in a Villa. I prefer a Villa because it resembles my life in Europe and North America.
The bit about turning white after spending time in Sichuan is so typically Chinese... They tan when they spend a lot of time in the sun, and culturally they have associated that tan look with outdoor work and by extension poverty/ low socioeconomic status. It's not surprising they would assume you become lighter after years away from your native sunny clime, or that you would want to be lighter 😂
The people you are filming are mostly very conscious of the camera, but also surprisingly willing to interact nonetheless. Makes me wonder about the ubiquity of this style of ad hoc video creation in Chinese life NC
in society men by nature are very competitive but when a man meets a man of a different color, the mind sometimes conceives that competitiveness is based on race but it is not.
WOW BROTHA!! sorry... it's a God thing, but you sound soooooo much like my friend Johnny from Columbia. Being as I've never seen him yet (we game online) your voice caught my attention. I can see that you walk with a friendly spirit, so only watching a minute of this video, I'm sure that you will be able to coax him into seeing you with different 'eyes'. Merry Christmas to you also! Shalom. 💞
Hoping this video reached you, I hope you had a good time celebrating Christmas with your family, a time to love a time to share, all the way from China I wish you all over the world Merry Christmas with love and abundance. How and where did you celebrate this day?

Do you speak Ndai? Saludos desde California
Thank you Mike. How did you learn Chinese? Great. I'm Southafrican living in Germany 30yrs. I always wanted to visit China or stay there.
You nailed it Mike. Marriage is just a Paper. Love happinnes and taking care of each other. Thx for sharing your destination.
I like how you carry yourself. You are a good dude.
He’s a 🤡. He allows people to disrespect him. That’s why you “like how he carries himself”. He should’ve smacked her with her own fish. 😂😂😂

They learned that through western movies 😂
@ SMH 🤦🏾♀️
well said
I remember having the same notion. When I was 4.
I really admire people who master other languages than their own. Truly smart people 👏.
it's very strange that all over the world, people are so concerned and interested about the Black skin... 😲😲
Just curious as in many areas only recently have we seen black people, especially in Asia
No, if you go to places where they never or rarely see white people, it's
the same result. They only know their see on t v or in the movies.
That’s because they want the BBC 😂
We are intrigued by what we are not familiar with. In general, roll with it and don’t make a big deal about it and have a laugh. Most people are nice.
Just as brown or black people in remote places are about European people
Nice stuff, my dad is from Sudan and is 8.5 on the blackter scale. He speaks with a Beijing accent. He shocks people with his accent as it's perfect.

What is a blackter scale?
@@leepo007Richter scale but blackter 😭🤣😂
confident and attitude are key to surviving in a foreign country
Well said, @torstimyle1355, well said! :)
Some say "guns and swords are key to CONQUERING a country". We know who those are, every other race has had problems with them.
Awesome video!!
Speaking with everyday locals in their language makes them happy i think!
Speaking anyone's heart language or dialect makes them happy. All language learners need to know this simple fact. ~~ :)
Not FBA’s. We don’t like people imitating the way we talk because everyone tries to disrespect it.
@@youtubeillegallydeletesacc1525
It’s not imitation to learn another language.
You’re talking about accent.
I love your response Mike. People want these insignificant titles but they don’t take into account how the couple feels about each other. 👏👏👏

First time I really watch a good video you speak the China language very well and I will watch your video again ok from Carl Spencer new Orleans
😳 Wow! I am amazed by this African brother's ability to speak Mandarin fluently. Will I ever speak that language?

This dude is soooo cool. Such talent.
What does, “such talent” means/ refers to? Do you mean, when a person speaks multiple languages fluently?
Just found your channel. And I appreciate your other channel describing your UA-cam journey. Love that you recorded the experience.
Subscribed and liked. Like living in the local neighbor hood vs the expat condos
Just come across your vlog on UA-cam, I'll be watching in more often, happy Xmas to you and family!
in society men by nature are very competitive but when a man meets a man of a different color, the mind sometimes conceives that competitiveness is based on race but it is not.
