Chinese Kids See Foreigners for the First Time
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 гру 2023
- How will Chinese kids look at you? Will they be surprised if you speak Chinese? How about if you speak perfectly, will you still be an alien to them? Will the kids react the way you think they will or will you be more shocked than them?

"You're on earth" I'm dying. What are they teaching those kids about foreigners? 😂😂😂
Teaching.... NOTHING!
foreigner pronouns as Waigworen VS alien pronounces as Waixingren😂one syllable different.Little kids taught to differentiate the two words vocally on pronunciation base
What arent they teaching about foreigner
@@pinkky-dollys6967that’s so cool
Yeah, that crazy regardless of his age. Guess they're teaching these kids china is the center of the universe.
You are on earth 😄. Yes, just landed.
Glad to be here lol

"what person are you"
The innocence of children is unrivaled 💀
In this case, it's actually just a literal translation of the Chinese kind of though.
They don't have the literal expression of "american", instead they say "america person".
theyre just asking where shes from. not all languages work like english
It's because when they say someone is from a country, the say the country and then they add person after. For example 中国 (zhong guo) = China, 中国人(zhong guo ren) = Chinese or 美国 (Mei guo) = The US, 美国人 (Mei guo ren) = American, really works with any country just add 人 (ren), which means person at the end. So in this case when they said 你是什么人？(ni shi shen me ren?) = what person are you?, it's just asking you what country are you from
9-11 likes
Let me don't change it
The kids at the end: 👁️ 👄 👁️ “wOw! WhAt iS tHaT??”…🏃 🏃➡️🏃🏃➡️”IT SAW US”
lmao "IT"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It💀💀
They were so cute and curious
🤣🤣
And it has yellow hair! These kids are precious!
Your interactions with those curious kids are very wholesome.
More BLOODY IGNORANT than curious IMO!
Hmmm
If the roles were reverse and it was an American kid saying this to a chinese women, people would say the parents are raciste. kinda sad
@@jpwertyQC Sad but it's not the same. Kind of unavoidable when there's almost zero diversity, parents of American kids have no excuse lol.
Because they are really racist. All Earth Human know white people are the most racist.
No matter where you go, kids are just the best. Innocent and curious.
Not true.
But sometimes kids are great.
In China the kids are eating propaganda....
lol, tell that to those who were bullied for being different(for example race)
@@Unethical.DodgsonI’m guessing kids are just straight criminals out the womb where you live.
I don't like kids that much
No prejudice just natural curiousity and imnocence. It's heart warming.
I lived in China for 3 years…there are so many photos of me holding by babies. Folks would see me and just give their baby to me so they could take a photo. Wonderful, warm people there.
😂😂😂
Sounds like India
🤣😂
That’s so cute lol
Same thing happened to me in Thailand. Lots of photos with random kids. And before you ask, I don't look like the Rock. Im just a normal guy about 5 foot 8 with a bald head 😂
The first kid as me rolling!
"You're on Earth!"
"She's an Earthling"
"Yea, im not an Alien."
"Yea, thats exactly what an Alien would say!"
She should have said, "Hello, fellow Earthling!"
You Made Me Laugh😂
Imagine if that's was white kids ppl will be discusting racist kids staring.
Well under a legal definition she would be an alien.
Bwahahahahah
My friend's daughter is a redhead who spent several years in South Korea and was constantly an object of curiousity.
But why do they dont know
I mean is it cultural there not to teach your kids about other skin color or hair color?
I am wondering as this is at least the 5th video of this kind I see and same reaction but in Japan not tho
@@GD-xc4wg I'm a redhead and it happened to me in Japan every time I went. Japanese people just tend to be a little quieter about it, but they'll stare, point, gossip, and they'd try to touch my hair. Especially the ones who aren't from the touristy parts of Tokyo.
Japan has less than 1% foreign population, and probably China has similar numbers. The xenophobia is ingrained- at least these kids are sorta friendly about it.
@@Joanna_135 This is crazy to me. Mostly that today most people have a tv or access to internet.
Even cartoons have different skin or hair color.
I went once in China but I have dark hair so it dont really is diff to them lol but I did not notice anyone looking at us odd or creepy... I had kids of one of my friend who went in South Korea and they said ppl spy on them, some odd men come talk non sense to them. Its creepy. Scary.
By the way Japan must have been incredible to visit in term of architecture :)
@@GD-xc4wg yeah but if you'd never seen a cartoon or actor in person and then they were right there, might make you a little curious. Tbh people have been touching my hair and asking to clip some off to take to the salon all my life so it wasn't really new, just annoying. Redheads make up about 1% of the world population, so it tracks that anyone who falls under that visibly different 1% (like foreigners in Japan and China and probably Korea) they'd get a lot of attention.
It was- it's nice to visit but living there... takes a certain kind of strength.
@@Joanna_135 yes I remember one of my school mate , one of our classmate guy would always ask her weird and very rude question. People can be so annoying and stupid. I guess when its kids by curiosity its okay but when it comes to adults its different
Yes I bet
I was greeted when I was in Egypt [1996], by a class of children just being released. Many crowded around me, touching my clothes, asking why I wore those clothes [jeans, tee shirt], why my hair was strawberry blonde and were astonished at my blue eyes! They asked why I wanted to visit Egypt. I loved their honesty and desire to know about me! What astonished ME was they all spoke English! My mom took a picture of me as they stood gathered around me!😊
it was their first time they saw somebody from outside like the chinese kids and i think you felt REALLY special during your visit to Egypt
Sis they just think you are hot because I am a blonde with blue eyes Arabic male and all the girls it the males with those specification are considered very rare and every wants them
@@Ntheking. everybody sees blonde with blue eyes people hot bro . . .
@@Ntheking. but to be honest people here in egypt have the same idea about appearance that blonde with blue eyes are the most beautiful and wanted people haha
@@mohamedhassan1240 yep even me my crush is blonde with green eyes and she is HOT 💀
We are Canadian and went to China when our blonde hair blue eyed daughter was 8 years old. We visited a couple of small towns where everyone would look and come out of their shops just to see us. In many cases we were the first “westerners” they had ever seen. Even in Shanghai and Beijing they would come up and ask to touch her blonde hair. It was kinda fun in a way and she would say she felt like a pop star!
“She is an earthling” took me out 🤣😭💀
I’m grateful for the likes 🫶🏼
Well, when I was born, my Mom's friend said: "Welcome to the world little Earthing."😊
That is the best thing to ever say to anyone, because it recognizes a person born as a person of the world, Earth, rather than being so divisive and just only noticing differences rather than being inclusive. So I like it that the kid said that and his parent/caregiver recognized that, yes, she is an earthling.😊😅😊
@@abbb4460Yet stating, almost questioning, that she is on Earth does imply he thinks she's not of Earth, and doesn't acknowledge her as being born on Earth as you said.
They said earthing.
@@thekeysman6760man, fuck this earth. I wish I was born on Pluto instead of this waste land
@@sforza209 The child said "you are on Earth." The mother said "she is an Earthling". But it was misspelled as Earthing.
I glad people like her are atleast respectful towards kids who are just curious and don’t know the rest of the world as much.
Does she ask them if it's ok to record first?
@20D0D0 she's pointing her phone and the mom sees that and doesn't do any signs to make her stop that so I'm assuming it's fine.
That just reminded me of that part in a Family Guy cutaway where there were a group of Swedish people being amazed at seeing a black guy sipping tea 😂
I have a feeling in China these kids have never seen someone that looks different in person before. It’s a pretty homogenous country compared to the US for example. Can’t blame them for being very interested in the difference and not understanding it could be considered disrespectful to point it out. Yeah I am glad she is understanding towards this, clearly she gets it a lot and is used to it.
@@alaskannative11that’s the example i always bring up to friends who asks me about living in China 😂
Lol they think foreigner as Aliens 👽
"You are on earth"
Kids are always be pure. Whatever skin color it would be
What person are u was legendary omg😂 cute
Similarly to other language, they dont have a word for people from a specific country the way English has American for people from america or Italian for those from Italy. They just call them america person. Which is why she said what person are you instead of where are you from. I mean they do say that too but a direct translation would be more of ' where you come from' some other ways theyd ask where a foreigner is from would be 'you are a person of which country' or simply 'which country are you'
I love it. I'm going to use this now
I'm a lazy person what about you? 😏
I thought she was asking if she was a famous person.
In Korean 어느 나라 사람이에요? means "Where are you from?" That's what it essentially means, but it directly translates to "Which country person are you?" :))
"What person are you?", earth needs people as straight forward as this.
But that's because of the literal translation. "Where/ Which country are you from?" in Chinese can be 你是哪国人? which literally translates to "you are which country person?".
Means where are from
its actually a common way to ask where someone is from but yeah youre right
Ni shi na guo ren is like where are you from
This is the kind of friendliness and genuine interactions that are possible when you don't have masses of non native ppl forced on a country like we see in Europe with arbs+afr
Watching this just makes me even more excited to go back to china and meet my relatives, the last time i went back to china was 6 years ago and i missed my family very much but when we were supposed to go back to china there were covid restrictions so we couldnt and next month i am very excited to go back to china and visit my family again!
He thought you're alien 👽
As an American currently living in South Korea, I am constantly an attraction for the locals, lol. It's always so funny, and wholesome when I speak Korean, they light and get so happy lol
it's admirable and difficult for a English native speaker to learn and speak Asian language. which shows respect for local people and culture. every student in China has to learn English for many years，but most of us still dont speak English well. this happens not only in China but also in South Korea , Japan
When I was in Japan as an expat locals would always want to touch my hair because it was soft lol they would react the same as you said you'd speak Korean when I would try and speak Japanese to them
Well. I don’t know how this will go in the other way. I’m from one of the three East Asian countries, and had lived in the Midwest of America for more than six years. I learned English since elementary school. Even today, I don’t have any ideas of how the locals think of me
@@seanwalters1977that’s interesting lollll. I heard that from AsianBoss which is another UA-camr. So where are you from?
Also, I’m curious where you at in SK? Seoul or small cities?
The curiosity and honesty of children is always refreshing.
they just rude...........
@@Lita-bj5irno they are just curious because there aren’t that many foreigners in China but in America there are a lot more people from many different backgrounds
Natures gentlemen are kids.
Refreshing, and sometimes very unintentionally insulting 😂 once had a kid ask why “that ladies belly giggles” during pickup from a summer camp, I lost it lol
Until they get too old, then it‘s called racism all of a sudden 🤔
OMG. “You’re on Earth”. The Chinese kid actually thought the blond US American woman was surely an extraterrestrial! Laugh. Out. Loud! So cute!
Theres so much wholesome joy in these interactions..im STILL smiling❤❤❤
Too cute, this is exactly how I handle kids in Japan. I once had a little girl (in very rude old man Japanese) ask me what person I was and I said “I’m an American person, what about you?” And she shyly smiled and said “I’m from Kushiro…”
It’s so cute, sometimes they pick up a little hostility from their surroundings but they don’t even know it. All it takes is a smile and a little kindness to give them an example that’s different from how they’ve been taught.
They teach kids to be mean in Japan?
@@JohnM-sw4scno they actually teach them to have the best manners but i don’t know about the foreigner part because in america we’re taught to hate places like russia
@@tutorialsforyou3981 I’m from the United States and at no point was I taught to hate Russia
You don’t have to make everything political
@@tutorialsforyou3981I'm also an American who was never taught to hate Russia. You're telling me you are taught to hate Russia in School?
@@JohnM-sw4sc it is true in some places
I love how they weren't being rude, they're just curious, and they have no filter 😂

They look so curious and relatively respectful. Adorable kids
lol Where have you been? Some of those kids has a demeanor thinking they are superior. You're in an illusion.
@@maxkonig559they are just simply being playful and curious
@@rainboi5920 exactly
Correction, respectable kids don't do this. Parents that have raised their kids wrong do this.
@rainboi5920 nah, you're delusional. You're thinking with your emotions and not your brain.
When I visited the Forbidden City children there came up to me and spoke to me in English. Many questions and very sweet interaction.
Whats the forbidden city is it actually called that?
@@deadkitty5723 yes it’s the original home to the emperor and that’s what it’s called. You have likely seen the entrance many times in photographs.
@@deadkitty5723 the palatial grounds in Beijing where many emperors ruled from, most recently the Great Qing. (Manchus that subjugated China and then acted like them to fit in as the ruling class). Beijing is in Northern China near Manchuria and the staple crop of the region is wheat! Important cause wheat based societies conquer rice based societies (there has never been an empire of the entirety of China with a capital in the south).
@@oppionatedindividual8256 Ö that's so cool. Thanks for sharing!!
@@deadkitty5723well to be that guy, in mandarin it's called gu gong (goo goong), which sort of just means ”ancient palace". But forbidden city sounds way cooler...
I'm impressed with how well those kids speak Chinese❤
And people say Indians have a staring problem, Its the culture here in Asia we generally don't see foreign people or people outside our community so we do look at them.
I love the genuine curiosity of children, you can tell they had a lot of fun with you, you were clearly a very interesting specimen to them!

Remember that's how we act here in America too. Don't be so surprised to see that another "Super power" country teaches their young im such ways...or should I say not teach them..Not such a small world after all is it..
And yes I luv seeing the young ones excited to see others...that is a good sign of things...don't take my first comment in hate to those kids..
“You’re on earth”
“I wasn’t yesterday! Thanks for having me.”
They never seen a blondie up close.
haha fee
Probably watched too many Star Wars movies.
LMAO! Now that would have been hilarious
wrong translation
"I am a Chinese person"
"Oh yeah, I know that."
😂😅😅😅
These are sweet well-behaved children who are very curious!! I love it!! ❤😊
A guy I worked with went to China with his wife to adopt a child. He said if you want to feel like the ultimate minority. Just go outside ANY major city in China. People were asking to take photos of he and his wife because they never see foreigners. Those that spoke English came up to speak to them because they never meet native speakers of any other language. He said it was the most surreal experience.
Yep. As a pale, tall, blonde haired, blue eyed young girl it was hilarious. I kept asking, "They do know I'm not a famous person or anything like that right?!". It was a novelty for them, and the kids were the most entranced. 😂
I've had the same in Indonesia, lovely people though.
Yeah a huge chunk of the world hasn't meet or seen a white person before. You get a whole different treatment in tribal nations of Africa. Kids freak out thinking you are a ghost trying to take them away and cry if you get close.
You could *see* the inherent fear suddenly fill the little girl’s face when the camerawoman announced in fluent Chinese that she was an American.
The same happens over here in the states, there’s a *marked* change of reaction when American children see (at least for the first time) a Chinese or a Russian adult speaking perfect English.
The Cold-War tensions and distrust are still subconsciously alive, even to this day, and the wounds will likely never be fully healed for either side.
@@hobomike6935 they are still there but are getting weaker. With the fact that’s it’s so easy now connecting to people across the world, I’d say once the people in power are gone almost all of those wounds will be too.
Children are the purest form of humans and their brute honesty and curiosity prove it.
yeah and their parents not being able to educate them about the world is also amazing
100% agree
Purest and most evil too! No filters.
Chinese culture has overly brutal honesty too, just saying.
That's sad, that's ignorance is kind of scary..
There is nothing better than hearing the sound of someone who can break a language barrier with another human being. It's so fascinating!
All these kids are so curious and so polite .
The kids are so cute. I mean think about it, they’ve most likely never seen someone who isn’t Chinese before. This is a very exciting day for them 😂❤
I'm pretty sure they've seen many different nationalities... asians are diverse ,they're not all Chinese 😊
@@kristie979 Asians are super diverse, yes. But I meant foreigners in general, not non-Asian. They could react this way towards a Korean person or a Japanese person as well, however it’s kind of obvious that they’re more likely to react this way to seeing a black or white person for the first time.
In many countries, there are large populations of people who have little to no socialization with foreigners of any kind. It’s really not hard to believe that a young Chinese child has never seen a foreigner before. What experience would they have had?
That’s not to be rude either, I didn’t know people with disabilities existed until I was in kindergarten because I was only ever around my family. It’s near impossible for kids to meet strangers as it is, let alone foreigners who are seen as rare in those parts of the world.
@@kristie979true, but the kids in her video were all Chinese. Apparently, she was in China. 😂
@@make_the_world_better_place at least you get might point.. thanks 😊
They've seen foreigners but perhaps not many like Oriental Pearl; she's tall and blonde, so quite a rare sight especially in smaller cities.
Haha not the lil boy thinking you're an Alien. Gotta love Kids they just tell what they think wo thinking twice about it 😂
No because foreigners don’t go to china anymore. Many laws have changed since. Any foreigner can be suspected as a spy and you will be detained and given false allegations. China is getting closed off to the world. They don’t see any shows from outside the country. This is the effect of communism
When foreigners speak the native language, it's like a form of witchcraft!!! Magic. It scares most people... Seriously..
Now imagine his reaction seeing a black person
@@coffeelink943 there's video of adults being shocked at at black person speaking Chinese. So, the kids would either be crazy curious or just plain freaked out..
Probably, actually not that differently 😂😂 and if a black person with 1% knowing on which continent they are is ofended by a 2 year old that's a "Them" problem then.Get it together men, women and children 😉 😉
HAHA THE GIRLS BEING EXCITED AND CURIOUS WERE SO SWEET! THEY WERE ALL SO CUTE!
The first kid..
He couldnt believe his eyes, an angel in front of him..
Angel, wait till he grows up and reads about what some of these Jezebelangels do to their husbands in divorce.

It’s not adorable, they are purposely teaching them like that so they are not half as smart as they could be, Mfs can’t even think for themselves. I’m dumb but younger than those kids I knew all about different countries, contents, I had black white Spanish and Asian in my class. These kids grow up with giant nets on the sides of the high rises they work at, you would see “ pretty blue nets “ what they see is something catching them as they try and commit suicide from being worked to death for 3 dollars a week.
this happened to me when visiting a primary school in Kunming in 2023. Due to covid, no foreigners had been there for years. The kids freaked out. Wanted photos and even AUTOGRAPHS. it was crazy.
Kids make life fun. ❤
I travelled around China, in the 1990's, it was a blast meeting so many people that had never met "foreigners" before. Great times and wonderful interactions.
China's small cities are still pretty much the same
Why is it such a shock? Is it less touristy areas?
@@sophj8896 Yes. But the main reason is that foreigners only go to big cities in China,And there are 685 cities in China.Probably only a dozen cities most frequented by foreigners

They are all loving you in their small funny ways. Take that as a huge compliment. The fact that you spoke mandarin to them makes them even more intrigued with you.
You are speaking Chinese like a native speaker. You are so talented in languages. I always enjoy watching your videos. God bless you 🙏💕💖
the curiosity and respect at the same time is beautiful.
very wholesome content here
I always here people say respect but genuinely it’s not always respectful. The curiosity is definitely there and the innocence or at least naïveté but respect is something that shows from the way you act and these kids act like the foreigners they see are aliens (not that we’re better) but it’d be nice a lil more kindness and not immediate judgement from these kids even tho it’s likely the school and their parents that might give them a misguided notion about foreigners as well as the foreigners themselves and all of the ways those two groups intersect
@@Badoinkington most Asians aren't coming from a place of malice because foreigners are so rare, especially in China. the more diversity in a place, the more respect and understanding for other groups. they don't understand foreigners because they basically never come across them, and really have no reason to care unless their parents tell them to. older gen will be more rude because they grew up understanding foreigners to be the death of their culture, but younger kids are just ignorant, not impolite.
@@Badoinkingtonor their just kids, it’s when you get older you get to understand how to behave properly. Children are innocent and tells exactly what’s on their mind
So it’s not about bad parenting. Also what do you mean when saying “these kids”. Kids in general, not just these kids, would do the same
The kids in the video were sweet. If someone sees something else, it's coming from their own preconceived notions and biases. Would a person biased against Chinese children be kind to them if they visited America for example? Probably not, but I hope that changes. They're just innocent children and we are all earthlings. Love more. Hate less. ❤

Not the "What person are you" hahahah
It actually makes a lot more sense in Chinese, since to say your nationality as country + person, so to swap out "country" for "what" when asking makes sense.
Hilarious in English though.
@@stephenwaldron2748 it does sound a little silly in english!! i do find it interesting how direct translations even down to the structure can really show you how their language is built and structured and how different it is from ours!! its very neat!
@@-myharlequinnsapphicarch- Indeed, languages are really interesting like that.
This also makes me think of the dialect spoken in my country (I'm from the Caribbean) where, for question words, you'd won't say "when" or "where", but "what time" and "what part" respectively.
"Where is she?" => "What part she is?"
I also like how a lot of dialects influenced by West African languages, the dialect here included, are similar to Chinese in that they don't use an auxiliary before an adjective (zero copula I think it's called).
So, instead of "He is good", it's "He good", which can be directly translated word for word to Mandarin: 他好
@@stephenwaldron2748 that is so interesting
Its like they are living in whole different universe 😂
It's just wonderful how curious they are about you and want to learn!
they aren't being rude, the curiosity comes to them because it's their first time seeing an foreigner. they're children. also they're respectful for asking. most people nowadays harass people straight away when they see someone different from em
no, that would be racism. are you saying most people in the world are racist?
i would definitely say most people in the world are racists.....@@wuiuoluminum2
@@wuiuoluminum2 most people have a subconscious bias towards each race, yes. racism isn't just actively hating certain ethnic groups. it can be that but it's also more subtle things.
Literally no one mentioned rudeness or racism, only you, the entire comments is full of positivity
@@wuiuoluminum2most people in the world ARE racist tf are u on about?
"You're on earth" 😂 I would've responded "I come in peace" ✌🏼 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I would have said "Just landed" 😂
Their playful innocence is adorable.
This is called real popularity 😂😂😂😂😂
Kids are so cute, I got approached multiple times by mothers with children while visiting Japan so they could practice their English with me. I'll have to prep better for child conversations next time i go 😂
I actually learned most of my conversational Japanese from children's workbooks. I get a lot of laughs because to them I'm a grown man who talks with a child-like dialect.
I got approached by a school group in China who had been instructed to practice their English with foreign tourists. We spoke a bit, and they told me their teachers name. A few hours later, a different group found me, and when I asked they said were from the same teacher and were amazed that I knew the teacher's name. I pretended like he was an internationally famous teacher, and everyone outside of China knew him.
I once hiked through norway with a group of people. In the middle of nowhere we met a norwegian schoolclass. About ten years old. They were SOOO excited to meet tourists from germany that we ended up in their school newspaper… 😂 And no, germans and Norwegians don’t look different from each other. The mere fact that we came from another country, speaking another language was awesome to them. So yeah…I get their excitement… it is cute…
But aren't you guys almost the same?
@@jinfin221 that's THE point. Children are happy with anything and everything different
as someone from Norway, even tho I live close to Oslo, foreigners are quite exciting! I only ever feel like we exist to folks outside Scandinavia when Magnus Carlsen does something... so any outside interest is a lot of fun!
Such a relatable experience. I went to China last summer, and the kids are always so curious of just what the heck you are lol
I had a few kids, and more adults say "Huh, you're what an American looks like?" Because I am Hispanic-American 🇨🇺 🇺🇸
😂😂😂 That little boy at the end... Shyness and curiosity personified 😂😂😂
One of the highlights of my month in China in 2018 was walking by a few hundred middle schoolers on a field trip in Xi'an. I felt like the first white person they ever got to try english with. When I responded to their greetings, the amount of joy they had was palpable.
They are one of the most non diverse countries in the entire world. The population is 99% of Chinese descent so foreigners are pretty rare.
I went to Uzbekistan 6 months ago and the country was basically closed to tourism until 2018, and even until last year nobody had this destination on their travel list anyway, as it is unknown. So, being a white european guy with curly hair, I felt like they never saw anything like that ever in their lives :D They were giggling, looking, taking pictures, I felt like now I know what celebrities feel like in public :D It was adorable, nobody ever reacted to me like that
I lived in Japan for a decade, I once had a Japanese kid move into my neighborhood from a different prefecture. He had never seen a foreigner before. He used to hide around the corner with his binoculars to try and spy on me. It was funny.
"You're on earth"
thank you for it i used to think I'm on Jupiter😊
That girl saying hello to you is so precious ❤❤
I felt this when I visited China, except I didn't speak Cantonese or Mandarin. Many of the children tried to practice their English with me. Every one asked my name, age, and where I was from. They were so cute seeing a gwielo for the first time.
Don’t you know where “gwielo” originated from? 😂 it’s a racist term that’s used when Hong Kong was under Britain. It’s literally translated as “ghost person”
@@chrisjlee2013tangentially related, you gotta look up the video of an African village boy seeing a white person for the first time, he literally thought dude was a ghost person and in terror while everyone else in the village laughed 😂
@@chrisjlee2013 It depends on the context it is used, but in most cases “gweilo” is not used in a derogatory sense. “Gwei” is also not used as an insult in Cantonese. Simply uttering the term is not necessarily a racist behaviour. There was a related court case where the boundary between “gweilo” being an endearment and a racist insult was clearly explained.
@@yushi9376 Yeah and what do you think the context was back then? It was a way to mock white people behind their backs
@@chrisjlee2013 If a black person uses the n word to refer himself/herself, does it count as racism?
They be like an alien just landed 👽, let's go and look😂 and hey it even knows our language too😂
Funny one 😂
that’s so cute the kids get so excited when you can speak their language
😂 😂 😂 What person are you took me tf out. I would have said "I'm still figuring myself dear" 😂
As a former asian kid, I also thought foreigners were from a different planet
Former? did you change race?
😂 his name's Michael @@Obvioustroller
@@Obvioustrollerformer as in they aren't a kid anymore
ma boy whatchu mean former? 💀
@@DryEtherLMAO bro you win
you should have asked if he saw your spaceship
lol that would have been awesome
😂😂😂
No don't say patronising shit like that. It's too much. They won't get it.
universal children's reaction to any person who looks really different 😊
I love that you speak so many different languages.
You're so sweet and respond well to their curiosity. I love that. Happy holidays🎄🌟
Every foreigner is a celebrity.
You a damn superstar if you go to the most rural areas of China
Or an alien, apparently. 😂
They all seem so happy to meet an American😊
I'm from Australia but was born in Greece. Everytime I go to Asia I get starred at a lot! The first couple of days it feels weird but after that I get used to it. I just wave and say hello with a big smile on my face 😊😊
