As an Asian, I LOVE that this movement is finally taking place. However, I'm south Asian, so I guess it doesn't necessarily apply to me, we still get so much hate. I'm 13 and have experienced racism for my religion, culture, and don't even get me started on my food. You have translated my exact thoughts into such an impactful video, I got chills! I hope this video blows up :))
I know that anxious feeling. My mom is an immigrant from Mexico. And I’m like please don’t anyone be racist. Or when I’m alone and no one is aware I’m Latina and they say some off the rails stuff. I’m like really, now I gotta argue with this person and defend my people. It’s sad and the shit needs to STOP.
I moved to the west coast recently, people are so racist against Latin Americans and it’s not talked about enough. Had to put this lady in place for speaking bad about them and her thinking I would agree. I’m Asian but lived with roommates of all backgrounds. Sometimes I wonder why she thought it was okay to vent to me. it’s either you hate us or you use us as a pawn for the “model minority.”
You speak from the heart and so eloquently....protecting our elderly is so important...protecting them from general ignorance must be exhausting and I am positive that you do it very well. Good job:)
It was so moving watching you cook, something many of us Asians do to show love and care to others, while talking about this. My heart is in a million pieces. I think of my family, and all they have survived as Japanese and Korean Americans, and feel sick knowing that they're STILL not safe.
I am not Asian but I can empathize with your words. Being Mexican American I always resented helping my parents with what I coined American barriers. Now as an adult I realized how much needed to be untangled from their experience in America. And no they were never here illegally. Such a beautiful video 💕
Hi I have been watching ur videos for a couple of months now. I think i started watching them on TikTok first. There were so many times that i wanted to write to u..Finally, i got a chance.. First of all, ur dishes look soo amazing!!! Second of all, When i listen to u, I often become tearful with such honest and heart felt stories of urs and it makes me feel like i wish i had a Korean friend who i can talk about those things regularly.I wish that i could meet u in person and talk about our lives. U seem like such a genuine person with intergity and honestly, ur description of ur struggle and emotions are most touching to me..I am so gateful to watch ur videos and listen to ur amazing stories.Thank u so much..
Tears dropped off from my eyes while I was waching your video. It's tough time for all enough. I hope nobody will get hurt and will not become a victim of frustration under the current situation or whatsoever in futuer. Sincere prayers for those passed away.
I was lucky enough to spend a few weeks in South Korea. I have never been treated with more kindness and warmth and welcome by any other group of people (that’s saying a lot since I am a Jew that grew up in Greece). Thank you for sharing your stories and culture with all of us. My heart breaks for the hate that I see in the world and especially America. ❤️
Thank you for sharing a little of your and your parents' experiences. It is truly heart-breaking what is happening. I don't understand the hatred and violence (toward any group/person) and I absolutely do not condone it. My heart and best wishes go out to all who are affected by hate, racism, and violence.
As your 800th thumbs-up, I'd like to thank you for sharing yet another heartfelt and important story of your family and culture. I've subscribed to many vegan-based channels, but yours is incredibly unique. Please, never change... Oh, and also, the dish looks divine!
Oh I remember those typewriters. I also recall manual typewriters tht weren't electric.. I recall my relationship with my father was somewhat similar to you. Long story short I haven't spoken to him 11+yrs. I am closer to my mom n step dad. I appreciate this video. Thank you
Absolutely love your story time and cooking! You really are empowering us and reminding us to reflect and appreciate where we come from. I was always my mom's right hand man and it was hard, but it gave me the opportunity to spend more time with her as she had to take me with her everywhere. I used to feel so stupid when handling her legal stuff, because I didn't know how the system operated as a teen and so they took advantage of the situation and charged my mom for wreckless driving, when the officer tailgated her so she would speed up a little. That made me look deeper into the legal system to prepare myself for future situations.
Just discovered your channel today. This video had me in tears. My mom is Korean and I have had to assume similar roles for her as you have. Even more so since my American father passed away a few years ago. I am trying to remove meat and dairy from my diet so I am looking forward to more videos from you in the future!
Thank u for this.. u tapped in on so many emotions/topics in one video from a child’s perspective to the privileged perspective and in between not to mention cultural differences are so misunderstood by many but what is more difficult is trying to have your/our culture understood /respected by those who actually don’t have one or if they do they just don’t care about their own. Again thank u so much. Also I will be trying this recipe soon it looks amazing
I have felt really similar at times, growing up with a disabled parent & having to help him with many tasks. Basically being forced into adult/caretaker role very young. So weird because on one hand it is frustrating & you almost get resentful but then also feel kinda guilty for feeling that way too💯❤️
People have all of ego that is stopping them from understanding other people's culture. I hope the recent event is a wake-up call and raiss awareness of the unnecessary hate and violence.
It happened to Jewish and they bought and build this country. They came together because they couldn’t go anywhere. Then, they started making and selling their own products. The same with Korean. Just take a time and drive to Fort Lee NJ, they’re buying that neighborhood. Unfortunately, discrimination happens everywhere. Becoming an imigrant (I’m Brazilian) comes with discrimination in the packet. Since we can’t change people let us change ourselves. The best vengeance is be happy and be yourself, be good. I love the Chanel ☺️🥰❤️
@@KangMinseok I'm black and I sincerely feel sorry for white people who aren't racist because they get blamed for things racist do😟😟 such an injustice... actually I'm mixed but I identify as black... and I have especially feel bad for Asians😟😟😟every Asian person I have ever come in contact with has been so nice to me...this world has me so confused
@@danyielletrader6772 don't let them drag you down, hold you head up high and try to always judge people as individuals rather than as members of percieved identity groups.

I think every minority has a pivotal moment in their lives when they realize they are a minority and the negative connotations that usually come with it. It feels like being singled out, ashamed, and most of all unsafe. I realized I was black in 1st grade when my gorgeous, Russian best fiend, she had this unreal curly red hair, blue eyes, and freckles; I told her all the time she looked like a doll, had a sleep over. We were so excited talking about it because of course I was invited (best friends, duh ☺️). Then when the weekend was coming up she met me on the playground and said to me, “My daddy says you can’t come because you’re black.” I asked why that mattered and she shrugged and we continued playing. The next day we met at the playground and she looked at me very differently than ever before. She informed me, “My daddy says we can’t be friends anymore because you’re black” and then she walked away. We never spoke again and my heart broke for the first time.
I am really sorry even if I am not american. I can understand the need to protect your father. The first time I felt racism was when i visit america. I was in a trip with my dad to California. I didn’t do something . I was just existing. I am mexican i can relate to this rotting hate that harms our love ones.
Thanks for your korean cook video^^ I’m enjoying your video! But nori is Japanese So, laver is kim in the korean. I like your video. (I learn english! So, my english skill is bad.. Please understand me a little bit^^
Thank you so much!! Can you tell me what I should say instead of “wakame”? That is what is written on the packages here in US grocery stores and I want to make sure American ppl know what to buy when making 미역국!
The Korean for wakame is Miyeok. I have found that the Korean and Asian markets near me carry "Wakame". If there is Korean on the packaging it is usually in Hangeul and most Americans would not be able to read it. Stick with "Wakame" for your Americam followers.
Hello fellow Korean even though I'm not Meagan I've dictated to try it for 3 months and see what I think do you have any suggestions or tips for me because I'm kinda clueless were to start also I feel really bad for you and all the horrible racist things that were said to you my whole family is albino so most people never new I was Korean what's happening now breaks my heart as well and I really wish I could donate but due to reasons I cant sorry
Asians make the world a better place. My world is better because of my Chinese boss and my colleague and friend who is Korean. I worry about them and their families with the rising hate crimes against Asians. Wish I could protect them.
The way racist views, behavior, and institutions have been given free reign, in recent history, sickens me. My heart goes out to you, your family, and all those you know and love, who have been affected. Do you know how average people can help? I know I am not alone when I say I feel helpless to affect change. I keep asking whenever the subject comes up, but the responses I have gotten have been less than kind.
I am sorry for this happening to your Dad and you..maybe having block parties to introduce people and share culture do's and don't's could benefit communities so less of these uneducated biases would occur. What do you think?
It's truly heartbreaking to see all the hate and discrimination towards the AAPI community. It is my hope that one day we can learn to coexist better than we are now. I realize it's foolish to believe that it will go away and all people can live united because conflict has existed since forever but one can hope.
I completely understand what you said. However, when you live in a different country with a different culture, you should adopt to their uses and culture. You should not expect the people from that country to know or even abide by your uses/rules. If I am going to a muslim country, I am gonna wear their clothes/head scarf to be respectful and to adapt to their uses and laws. That's just my opinion. THIS does not mean that the lady should be racist and say bad things about Koreans in general.
Sorry for what Asians have gone through recently. We are in an intense battle between good and evil on our planet. The great news......God wins in the end!
It is so wierd. When i experience racism, i am in a "flight" mode. Even as i am speaking up for myself, my anxiety level goes thru the roof. My voice gets higher and thinner. My accent would get thicker. When this lady was comming at my mom and me in a costco parking lot, i was in this " fight mode." Everything was clearer. I didnt mince words. I was not overly apologetic. My voice was deeper. I had someone to protect and that was more important than my aversion to a confrontation.
I think it's really important to share this kind of stuff. A lot of people don't know that eye-contact, and other things that show vulnerability in "white" culture when speaking/introducing yourself aren't common in Asian culture. We don't learn anything about Asian politeness in school unfortunately, or even that much about First Nations, or African North Americans unless you take an elective in highschool; even then you can only pick one.
As an Afro person, I think I can sympathize. I get very anxious thinking about my mother going out in public, and I try to accompany her or run her errands when I can. My mother, having come of age during the era of the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s, is a very outspoken woman. ***BIPOC + AAPI Solidarity***
Right on Broh !! I have been fighting for Black American Rights over 40 years !! At the forefront, fighting to abolish the police choke-hold, and continuing the fight of decent black men held in custody needlessly. I keep a file that I call Black Justice. Although I am Caucasian and Cherokee Indian, I am proud to do my part for the great & wonderful Black Americans ! 💓
Thanks for sharing this..I am comforted knowing that i am not alone. My parents want to visit me this Summer from Korea because we just bought our first home and i am sooo anxious for them.. especially after the incident in Goergia the other day...I am horrified imagining they won't behave according to American culture and therefore we would be harassed or something. It's my worst nightmare...
@@sunyoungpark910 I will pray for your family, and don't worry you'll be all right as long as you all stay together in groups two or three or more. Never travel alone in the big cities anymore especially if you are a woman or an older man !
Another great video, and a heartbreaking story. I'm so upset by the events that are happening, the racism and hate being directed toward Asian people :'(
Watched this twice 'cause the first time I was merely soaking in your words and the tone of your voice. My prayers go out to the families of those women.
Omg I can so relate to the typewriter and “lets send a letter”. As a daughter of French immigrants, this was my life from an early age, too. The discrimination was ever present but more subtle than what your family has to endure. Thank you so much for bringing this to light. Also, I have been eating your mushroom toast on repeat.
I love your message to the world, and your own personal story. I found myself tearing up all whilst watching you cook this amazing food I have never even heard of before. Thank you for blessing the internet with your message.
As an immigrant from West Africa, I can totally identify with your story today of protecting and advocating for your parents, especially your father. I’ve been through the same thing! Thank you for sharing!
As always you deliver beautiful food with a beautiful calming voice and a story that absolutely kicks you in the gut. You are friggen awesome and an inspiration.
Thank you for speaking up for us. I've been doing the same thing for my parents since I learned how to use a typewriter, 35 years ago. Love your channel. Please keep telling your stories!
Thank you for sharing your and your parent's experiences so deeply. I appreciate the education. These are such painful times for so many of us, it appears this time is about bringing all our deep, hidden abscesses to the light. I'm hopeful we collectively have the courage and love to make the changes needed for authentic healing.
It shouldn't be something they have to do... or else you got mommy's boys that live with their moms till they die and can't get into healthy relationships
@@mixedviews3536 Joy & Pain, like sunshine and rain. What life is; objective and subjective !! Pick your prophet, your philosophy and carry on !! I was raised in an empty nest so I know firsthand.
@@mixedviews3536 A home is not a home when one is alone 99% of the time ! I had an absentee parent, who was a functional alcoholic who very cruelly ignored my emotions & feelings with perpetual disdain. ( Anyhow, I am here today. Does that satisfy your question? )
I met Korean people while living abroad and I never thought for a second that they were rude! even if I didn't know anything about their culture back then. So sad that a lot of people are so ignorant...
Yes this was weird she got angry cause a korean man didn't shake her husband's hand and thought this could be a reason that they're destroying their neighborhood! And still was angry about it 😂. But awkward people and ignorant people live every where in all countries I think. I've seen videos of black people living in korea and said they face uncomfortable situations sometimes there or some women mostly older people just go and touch their curly hair when they see them and get interested (they all have straight hair so it's something interesting to them) without permission! Viewers found it very strange but some Korean people said in their culture specially for older generations people don't pay attention to personal space as much as westerners so they may not know this can be offensive to a stranger even if they don't mean anything bad. But here she said Koreans don't touch someone they don't know! So I don't know. It's mostly ignorance of some people who are more biased on their own culture that don't even consider different cultures are different and we shouldn't judge other people by our own culture!
I’m a Sikh from India & understand your pain. We are a minority in India & my people have been killed tortured & suppressed but we are loving & extremely helpful people. My husband and son have beards & wear turbans I’m always on pins & needles when my son goes out to socialize. We all are different color of our skin and body parts but we all have the same color of blood running in our veins . Stay Strong & Be Kind. Love always Conquers 💕
I love how you balance cooking and connecting on a deeper level. I think both go hand in hand. Your take on your role for your parents help me think of my role in my relationships. I get it. I am there with you. I am Blasian woman living in a world which cannot believe I exist, demand I choose a “side”, say I don’t count either way, or shape me into what they feel comfortable with it. Thank you being honest and light. 💜
I understand your family's hardship. My grandfather was a 1st generation japanese american. His parents came here and settled in wildwood nj. Growing up in a poor irish neighborhood was very rough in the 30's. Pop said kids and adults would say hurtful racist things and he would get into physical altercations often until he learned to fight. At 17 he joined the army and was in the 442nd troop, the most decorated regiment in WW2. When he returned home with medals and accolades the town had a parade and a holiday named for him. My grandfather said he hated the town more after that because of how poorly he was treated and regarded before risking his life and being injured fighting for a country that didn't want him or his japanese family. It hurt him until he passed away at 93yrs old. He was my very best friend and I wish I could have made his life better
You’re so intelligent and inspiring. I love how eloquent and important so many of your video topics revolve around 🥺 Thank you for putting this together
Thank you for sharing your experience although it may be difficult. I am so grateful to have such a thoughtful lens into another’s world. Stay strong and remember you are loved
I love you and I’m also ashamed of the supremacist race. Sorry wouldn’t be enough to make things better. I’ll defend all races with my life because it’s not fucking fair what’s happening, it’s not really right. And this stew? Looks amazing and I will most certainly try it, maybe without the just egg because I can’t find it in my country. Much love and please stay strong 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for making this video! Stop Asian Hate! Stop AANHPI Hate! The hate crimes and the racism is so horrible and it shouldn’t be happening! I stand with the Asian Community and the AANHPI Community! The shooting in Atlanta was so horrible! My prayers go out to the victims and their loved ones.
My heart weeps with the unjust treatment of people of color, such cruelty... I worry every day about protecting my family as you with your dad. On another note, I will be trying this dish out. Cool runnings!
Can I just say, this video is incredible in so many ways. First off, the recipe itself is so rich and beautiful and reminds me of my first dinner in Korea where I ate this dish at a cool bar and was flabbergasted at how epic and incredible and flavorful it was. 😳 And the second layer - I love the incredibly honest, truthful and really beautiful story that you shared. I think all minorities all over the world can really sympathize with you. It makes me so sad that there are so many people with no compassion and 0 cultural awareness and your family and many others have to deal it, all over the world. The fact that it has lead to murder in the US is just.. horrendous and unforgivable. On the bright side, it’s wonderful that you are sharing the beauty of your culture and fighting through sharing your food, recipes, and stories. ❤️ I can’t wait to make this! 😱
I love this channel. Your videos really move me to happy and sometimes sad tears. I couldn’t imagine hating someone because of their skin or cultural differences. All this to say, your authenticity is palpable. Thank you for sharing this vulnerable little glimpse of what it’s like to be you 🤍
The topic of this video is so relatable for me as an Asian. I used to be so upset that my parents ask me to do so many things for them but as I grow I see that doing these things for them also help protect them and support them as they navigate a foreign world who is not always so kind. They left their friends and family and their home to give us a better future. The little that I had to do to support them cannot amount to the hardship they had to endure. Thank you for sharing your life stories and advice

Thank you so much!! Can you tell me what I should say instead of “wakame”? That is what is written on the packages here in US grocery stores and I want to make sure American ppl know what to buy when making 미역국!
The Korean for wakame is Miyeok. I have found that the Korean and Asian markets near me carry "Wakame". If there is Korean on the packaging it is usually in Hangeul and most Americans would not be able to read it. Stick with "Wakame" for your Americam followers.

Hello fellow Korean even though I'm not Meagan I've dictated to try it for 3 months and see what I think do you have any suggestions or tips for me because I'm kinda clueless were to start also I feel really bad for you and all the horrible racist things that were said to you my whole family is albino so most people never new I was Korean what's happening now breaks my heart as well and I really wish I could donate but due to reasons I cant sorry
Asians make the world a better place. My world is better because of my Chinese boss and my colleague and friend who is Korean. I worry about them and their families with the rising hate crimes against Asians. Wish I could protect them.
The way racist views, behavior, and institutions have been given free reign, in recent history, sickens me. My heart goes out to you, your family, and all those you know and love, who have been affected. Do you know how average people can help? I know I am not alone when I say I feel helpless to affect change. I keep asking whenever the subject comes up, but the responses I have gotten have been less than kind.
Yes that was a bit heavy
I am sorry for this happening to your Dad and you..maybe having block parties to introduce people and share culture do's and don't's could benefit communities so less of these uneducated biases would occur. What do you think?
It's truly heartbreaking to see all the hate and discrimination towards the AAPI community. It is my hope that one day we can learn to coexist better than we are now. I realize it's foolish to believe that it will go away and all people can live united because conflict has existed since forever but one can hope.
I completely understand what you said. However, when you live in a different country with a different culture, you should adopt to their uses and culture. You should not expect the people from that country to know or even abide by your uses/rules. If I am going to a muslim country, I am gonna wear their clothes/head scarf to be respectful and to adapt to their uses and laws. That's just my opinion. THIS does not mean that the lady should be racist and say bad things about Koreans in general.
I don't know why some people seem to be devolving ... we are all souls and thats all I see. I wish this b.s. would stop, no one deserves this crap.
Sorry for what Asians have gone through recently. We are in an intense battle between good and evil on our planet. The great news......God wins in the end!
She ate the whole pot....
That neighbor's behavior is abhorrent and very sad.
This made me so sad, ....I love animals more than humans.
Sometimes I feel that way too.
Me too! I agree with you
@@TheKoreanVegan
can you guide me .
I am an advocate and I live in India 🇮🇳 .
How can I practice law in foreign countries.
It will really help me
Me too!
i don't like both
It is so wierd. When i experience racism, i am in a "flight" mode. Even as i am speaking up for myself, my anxiety level goes thru the roof. My voice gets higher and thinner. My accent would get thicker. When this lady was comming at my mom and me in a costco parking lot, i was in this " fight mode." Everything was clearer. I didnt mince words. I was not overly apologetic. My voice was deeper. I had someone to protect and that was more important than my aversion to a confrontation.
I think it's really important to share this kind of stuff. A lot of people don't know that eye-contact, and other things that show vulnerability in "white" culture when speaking/introducing yourself aren't common in Asian culture.
We don't learn anything about Asian politeness in school unfortunately, or even that much about First Nations, or African North Americans unless you take an elective in highschool; even then you can only pick one.
As an Afro person, I think I can sympathize. I get very anxious thinking about my mother going out in public, and I try to accompany her or run her errands when I can. My mother, having come of age during the era of the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s, is a very outspoken woman.
***BIPOC + AAPI Solidarity***
Thank you so much for this. Solidarity is everything.
Right on Broh !! I have been fighting for Black American Rights over 40 years !! At the forefront, fighting to abolish the police choke-hold, and continuing the fight of decent black men held in custody needlessly. I keep a file that I call Black Justice.
Although I am Caucasian and Cherokee Indian,
I am proud to do my part for the great & wonderful Black Americans ! 💓
Thanks for sharing this..I am comforted knowing that i am not alone. My parents want to visit me this Summer from Korea because we just bought our first home and i am sooo anxious for them.. especially after the incident in Goergia the other day...I am horrified imagining they won't behave according to American culture and therefore we would be harassed or something. It's my worst nightmare...
@@SweetChicagoGator Yh so many decent black men are held in custody... it's not like they commit the majority of gun crime
@@sunyoungpark910
I will pray for your family, and don't worry you'll be all right as long as you all stay together in groups two or three or more. Never travel alone in the big cities anymore especially if you are a woman or an older man !
Another great video, and a heartbreaking story. I'm so upset by the events that are happening, the racism and hate being directed toward Asian people :'(
Thank you so much.
As a Native Hawaiian, you have my aloha and solidarity. ❤️
Watched this twice 'cause the first time I was merely soaking in your words and the tone of your voice. My prayers go out to the families of those women.
I'm so sorry and so bewildered. How can people be so ignorant and hate-filled?
Omg I can so relate to the typewriter and “lets send a letter”. As a daughter of French immigrants, this was my life from an early age, too. The discrimination was ever present but more subtle than what your family has to endure. Thank you so much for bringing this to light. Also, I have been eating your mushroom toast on repeat.
I love your message to the world, and your own personal story. I found myself tearing up all whilst watching you cook this amazing food I have never even heard of before. Thank you for blessing the internet with your message.
As an immigrant from West Africa, I can totally identify with your story today of protecting and advocating for your parents, especially your father. I’ve been through the same thing! Thank you for sharing!
Damn this was an intense cooking video.
#StopAsianHate
As always you deliver beautiful food with a beautiful calming voice and a story that absolutely kicks you in the gut. You are friggen awesome and an inspiration.
Thank you for speaking up for us. I've been doing the same thing for my parents since I learned how to use a typewriter, 35 years ago. Love your channel. Please keep telling your stories!
Thank you for sharing your and your parent's experiences so deeply. I appreciate the education. These are such painful times for so many of us, it appears this time is about bringing all our deep, hidden abscesses to the light. I'm hopeful we collectively have the courage and love to make the changes needed for authentic healing.
So many kids do not look after their parents once they leave the nest. Very kind of you to acknowledge & care after them. 💓
It shouldn't be something they have to do... or else you got mommy's boys that live with their moms till they die and can't get into healthy relationships
So many parents do not look after their children while they are in the nest.
@@mixedviews3536
Joy & Pain, like sunshine and rain. What life is; objective and subjective !! Pick your prophet, your philosophy and carry on !!
I was raised in an empty nest so I know firsthand.
@@SweetChicagoGator How was the nest empty if you were in it?
@@mixedviews3536
A home is not a home when one is alone 99% of the time ! I had an absentee parent, who was a functional alcoholic who very cruelly ignored my emotions & feelings with perpetual disdain.
( Anyhow, I am here today. Does that satisfy your question? )
I met Korean people while living abroad and I never thought for a second that they were rude! even if I didn't know anything about their culture back then. So sad that a lot of people are so ignorant...
Yes this was weird she got angry cause a korean man didn't shake her husband's hand and thought this could be a reason that they're destroying their neighborhood! And still was angry about it 😂. But awkward people and ignorant people live every where in all countries I think. I've seen videos of black people living in korea and said they face uncomfortable situations sometimes there or some women mostly older people just go and touch their curly hair when they see them and get interested (they all have straight hair so it's something interesting to them) without permission! Viewers found it very strange but some Korean people said in their culture specially for older generations people don't pay attention to personal space as much as westerners so they may not know this can be offensive to a stranger even if they don't mean anything bad.
But here she said Koreans don't touch someone they don't know! So I don't know. It's mostly ignorance of some people who are more biased on their own culture that don't even consider different cultures are different and we shouldn't judge other people by our own culture!
just discovered this channel today and subscribed. kind wishes to all.
Thank you so much Rich.
I’m a Sikh from India & understand your pain. We are a minority in India & my people have been killed tortured & suppressed but we are loving & extremely helpful people. My husband and son have beards & wear turbans I’m always on pins & needles when my son goes out to socialize. We all are different color of our skin and body parts but we all have the same color of blood running in our veins . Stay Strong & Be Kind. Love always Conquers 💕
Hi Ruby, do you still live in India?
i have heard of sikh you are most compassionate
Sikhs are very respected and held in high esteem in India.
Which part of India do you live in? Because where I live we respect all sikhs.
Literally the biggest liar I have ever seen.
I love how you balance cooking and connecting on a deeper level. I think both go hand in hand. Your take on your role for your parents help me think of my role in my relationships. I get it. I am there with you. I am Blasian woman living in a world which cannot believe I exist, demand I choose a “side”, say I don’t count either way, or shape me into what they feel comfortable with it. Thank you being honest and light. 💜
I understand your family's hardship. My grandfather was a 1st generation japanese american. His parents came here and settled in wildwood nj. Growing up in a poor irish neighborhood was very rough in the 30's. Pop said kids and adults would say hurtful racist things and he would get into physical altercations often until he learned to fight. At 17 he joined the army and was in the 442nd troop, the most decorated regiment in WW2. When he returned home with medals and accolades the town had a parade and a holiday named for him. My grandfather said he hated the town more after that because of how poorly he was treated and regarded before risking his life and being injured fighting for a country that didn't want him or his japanese family. It hurt him until he passed away at 93yrs old. He was my very best friend and I wish I could have made his life better
You’re so intelligent and inspiring. I love how eloquent and important so many of your video topics revolve around 🥺 Thank you for putting this together
This made me cry
Thank you for sharing your experience although it may be difficult. I am so grateful to have such a thoughtful lens into another’s world. Stay strong and remember you are loved
I love you and I’m also ashamed of the supremacist race. Sorry wouldn’t be enough to make things better. I’ll defend all races with my life because it’s not fucking fair what’s happening, it’s not really right.
And this stew? Looks amazing and I will most certainly try it, maybe without the just egg because I can’t find it in my country. Much love and please stay strong 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for making this video! Stop Asian Hate! Stop AANHPI Hate! The hate crimes and the racism is so horrible and it shouldn’t be happening! I stand with the Asian Community and the AANHPI Community! The shooting in Atlanta was so horrible! My prayers go out to the victims and their loved ones.
What a profound storyteller and providing open and honest conversations on your channel✊🏾
Haye is not a race, culture, gender or color - it's human bigotry...vibrate high and lead by example
People just need to learn different cultures. Especially white people in America.
Black have been dealing with this for hundreds of years...
My heart weeps with the unjust treatment of people of color, such cruelty... I worry every day about protecting my family as you with your dad. On another note, I will be trying this dish out. Cool runnings!
Gratitude, love and support from Central Virginia. 💜 #stopasianhate #fighting #donate #justice
You are a good daughter! Your parents are probably very proud of you!
Can I just say, this video is incredible in so many ways.
First off, the recipe itself is so rich and beautiful and reminds me of my first dinner in Korea where I ate this dish at a cool bar and was flabbergasted at how epic and incredible and flavorful it was. 😳
And the second layer - I love the incredibly honest, truthful and really beautiful story that you shared. I think all minorities all over the world can really sympathize with you.
It makes me so sad that there are so many people with no compassion and 0 cultural awareness and your family and many others have to deal it, all over the world.
The fact that it has lead to murder in the US is just.. horrendous and unforgivable.
On the bright side, it’s wonderful that you are sharing the beauty of your culture and fighting through sharing your food, recipes, and stories. ❤️
I can’t wait to make this! 😱
I love this channel. Your videos really move me to happy and sometimes sad tears. I couldn’t imagine hating someone because of their skin or cultural differences. All this to say, your authenticity is palpable. Thank you for sharing this vulnerable little glimpse of what it’s like to be you 🤍
Thank you for making these videos, i find them so uplifting.
The topic of this video is so relatable for me as an Asian. I used to be so upset that my parents ask me to do so many things for them but as I grow I see that doing these things for them also help protect them and support them as they navigate a foreign world who is not always so kind. They left their friends and family and their home to give us a better future. The little that I had to do to support them cannot amount to the hardship they had to endure. Thank you for sharing your life stories and advice
