@@YOSHlDA many Asian immigrants to western places have a deep seated hatred towards themselves because they see western cultures as superior. They could intentionally or unintentionally not speak it as much at home, or the kid could see their parents language as embarrassing and speak English at home while their parents speak something else! There's lots of reasons someone might not be able to speak their mother tongue. A lot of kids also just lose the ability after too much exposure to only English at school.

I deeply relate to this as a Puerto-Rican American because I'm a white passing American born and raised who doesn't know any Spanish, so I feel totally disconnected from my own culture. I've basically fully assimilated into American culture only acknowledging my culture just from the fact that I know that Puerto-Rico is my heritage. The fact that people constantly deny the existence of my ethnicity by saying, "you're not Puerto-Rican, you're an American," because Puerto-Rico is under colonial control by the US just makes it even more frustrating.

My parents are born in Puerto Rico and I was born in Pennsylvania. I can say I’m a Puerto Rican American. As I was growing up I get nervous sometimes and I was diagnosed with Autism when I was 3, but it didn’t stop me from trying new things. Love the animation by the way. 🙂
@vivianriver64506 ай бұрын
I have symptoms of autism, but am not formally diagnosed. I can definitely relate to the notion of "disappointing" my ancestors. The way I've come to see it, my ancestors passed down a heritage to me in some sense of the word, but that does not obligate me to pass it on exactly as is. My being quite different from my ancestors does not obligate me to judge myself as a "failure" for not being who they think I should be. Come to think of it, when I hear stories about other Americans with parents from foreign countries trying to "pass on their heritage", it comes across to me not only as coercive, but downright gross. About ten years ago, my Thai partner discovered the film *Selena*, directed by Gregory Nava, which tells the story of the life of the singer Selena Perez, born in the USA to parents from Mexico. The way the film portrayed her father instilling a Mexican identity in her struck me as downright possessive. But also, I know that western countries like the USA also have a past tradition of willfully destroying the cultures of people it assimilates that is very coercive at an individual level. People should be free to be who they want to be. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk ;-)

this vid is relatable on so many levels. i was born in the philippines, but i moved to another country at the age of 5 and got exposed to english media. as u can predict, that influenced me a LOT, not only did my ability to speak tagalog get completely erased.. i even lost my understanding on the language and culture. i wanted to re-learn the whole language because i didnt want to embarrass my parents and i didnt want to feel disconnected from it, but i never fully committed. i always felt ashamed when i take the awful flight back to the mother land because of my relative's comments. knowing someone, and many other people, have the same experiences as me feels reassuring.

The vicious cycle of not trying because you feel like you sound stupid and never getting better which only makes you sound even more stupid is extremely relatable. I used to speak more Macedonian as a kid but because I lived in America (even though I did interact with Macedonian American family friends) I eventually lost my ability to speak well and only got worse with time due to the anxiety attempting to speak brought. I got even more embarrassed when I learned I had a thick American accent when speaking, which singled me out even if I spoke, and I completely thought I had a Macedonian accent when speaking.

He just happened to have what Americans call "Asian eyes". Not only did they call him a girl for having two long braids, but they also assumed that he was asain. They looked at the shape of my eyes and THESE IDIOTS SAID I WAS CHINESE 💀!

Wow, I cried watching this. Thank you for posting. The analog of the potted plants as cultures that we nurture is really apt. I am a Filipino American who never learned the language and grew up also hearing what a 'shame' it was I couldn't speak OR understand Tagalog. To some degree, it's true I wish I had learned, but so I could keep the connection to that part of my identity. But when I or my parents are BLAMED for it, it does make me mad and resentful and I think it's just really disrespectful to the reality that multi cultural people grow up with. I have a lot of strong feelings about it now that I am older because 1) I am going to visit the Philippines soon for the first time since I was, like, a baby. And I feel so weird about it, and realizing I am kind of scared about it. I am excited but I am definitely an impostor or at least feel that way. 2) I have a baby now who is white (Russian)/Filipino and I have just all sorts of thoughts about how to keep him connected to his culture/identity, and feeling bad I can't even pass on Tagalog. I am trying hard to make sure he learns Russian since my husband speaks it at least. I cried when you said you once told your parents you wished they were white. Maybe because I identify with it, maybe also because I'm afraid of hearing it from my own son someday.

im hispanic and i connect with this video so much it has me in the feels ... parents moved from peru to the US when i was not even 2 yet, and i actually refused to learn english as a toddler until elementary school, then i refused to speak spanish and became embarassed by my culture. between 2013-2019 i never had a real hispanic friend. i was in this very hispanic church scouts troop in middle school for a while, but i never connected with the girls and felt like a loner but it's more cus i'm shy and isolate myself more than anything. i was never bullied for being hispanic, when some white kids in a day care chased me around with questions and wanting me to speak spanish, i hated that, but i cant call them racist cus they were just curious little kids. i am hella lucky that in 2020, i made an online friend who is peruvian like me, except he grew up there and moved to the US as a teenager, as opposed to me moving as a toddler. he's fluent in english and just has an accent while i understand most spanish i just feel insecure about it because of my refusal to speak it as a kid. he's really helped me let go of my shame and that what i've gone through is understandable, and it's never too late to relearn. so sometimes we have late night voice chats where it's just us speaking spanish and sometimes he's impressed with how natural i sound and that i've improved a lot. so i feel super lucky for that. as a kid i didnt like going to peru every summer but we haven't gone since covid and now i miss it more than ever :(

I also have very similar feelings. I'm a Mexican-American who is white passing. I grew up in rural East-Texas and distanced myself from my culture. I hated going to Mexico when I was younger because I felt so out of place. People would always ask me if I was a "Gringo" and were surprised I spoke Spanish. Even at home, it always comes as a surprise when people find out that I'm Mexican. My Spanish has an accent and so I don't speak it unless necessary. It gets made fun of when I speak it with others. I think that hardest thing for me is communicating with my parents. I find it hard and often struggle finding the words that I just get frustrated and give up. I reply to them in English most of the time if I can. I feel like I can't go back and speak with my family in Mexico because they resent me for never coming back to see them. It has been 10 years since I've been and I haven't spoken a word to my cousins.

i come back to this video every once and a while because i relate soso much to this :( i’m a poc , but i don’t feel connected to my culture at all. i was bullied a lot by my peers because i don’t really fit the general “look” for my ethnicity (i’m not even 100% sure of it anymore) , and never really felt like i could fit in. i wasn’t white for my white peers, but not really like the peers of my ethnicity. i see so many people celebrating their culture, or at least knowing about their traditions, but i really don’t and it’s makes me feel very alone and sad when i think about it a lot :( cultures are something that have always interested me , but when it comes to my own i feel so disconnected. this video really helps me feel less alone , i love your content soso much emily !!! 💞💞💞

I’m Filipino and grew up in the Philippines but I don’t look or act like it and my Filipino is horrible. My mom is half Canadian and Filipino and my dad Chinese. Every time I interact with someone who isn’t Filipino they are always like wow you’re really in touch with you Filipino roots but when it’s with a Filipino they always think that I’m like Australian or British especially considering my accent. It’s been hard dealing with that and I’ve been going through similar experiences as you had when you were younger. Thank you for making this video as it really helped me feel a lot better about myself! Thank you so much!

This video is able to connect and reach out to anyone of a different ethnicity in America and feel the same bond and struggles. On the other hand, things like this can bring the same people together to grow together. I'm complete mexican ethnicity, but I'm born & raised American, and I can only say broken, basic around the house spanish, but I want to get better so I can be with the relatives and friends instead of being a "no sabo" kid. Everyone should bond with where they came from so that the can celebrate the past, present, and all to come.

I enjoyed your video immenselly. I'm Uruguayan and for very odd circumstances, I am of two nations, Uruguay and the US. I first came to the US with my parents at age 5 years and 10 months, then went back at age 10, then came back at age 17. To say that I was totally lost and felt uprooted repeatedly is an understatement. I lost friedships so many times I lost count. But fortunately I turned out 100% fluent in both languages, yet with a lot of heartache and emotional upheaval too. Yet despite all this, I found myself identifying with you so much. I guffawed out loud at several points because I could see your situations and empathize with you. I laughed not at you but with you, feeling I somehow knew that even though you felt strange, you also knew who you were and were fine with it. And it was exhilarating to hear what you went through and how you overcame it. Well, just to say I loved your life story. I will subscribe to your channel and I look forward to many good moments during your videos.

@@koto485 I think it's more of the fact that a lot of Asian elders still think anime = cartoon = for kids. But even if they didn't think it that way, even as anime is reaching mainstream status, they still think that having a career related to it is not a viable path in life, that it should just stay a hobby. I'm Indonesian, we got fucked over by 3.5 years of Japanese colonialization, the dismissive attitude towards anime is not related to it.

I mean I think Americans know that India is Asian, but in American English Asian with no specification refers to east Asian while Indians would be considered south Asian. But if you said South Asian Americans should know that you're referring to like India/Bangladesh/Pakistan area. Southeast Asian also is a distin region to Americans. I think Asian being defaulted to east Asian is just a matter of population and the fact that many Chinese people immigranted in the 1800s for the US.

It mirrors my own journey so closely (with the exception of my being biracially Japanese and Filipino, so no language aside from English was ever spoken at home) that I can't help but see how universal this issue is among first-generation American kids. Thank you so much for sharing all of this. It's truly so powerful.

I’ve also had a similar identity crisis. I’m half Mexican and half Japanese (My mom is Mexican and my Dad is Japanese) and I was born in the U.S. Meaning I felt the pressure from my Japanese half to be super smart and gifted and know the language and be super in touch with all the Japanese traditions. And for my Mexican half the expectations were also to learn the language and the cultural traditions, but also to make my family proud and have a super successful job in order to support my family. And I’m also the artist child out of my other siblings who want to be scientists or doctors and it just made me feel super disconnected to both my Mexican and my Japanese roots.

Then get scolded for "preventing them from learning the language" Also the whole "I want to be white" thing is very common, but I feel like there's also some people that say "I wish I was Asian" (East Asian) and I am partly ashamed of myself for thinking this way but it's true.

Honestly when I was younger I didn’t really relate to this video, but now that I’m older I relate to did video on so much more. For context I’m Native American , for the longest time I never knew I was Native, because my mom never bothered to tell me, I didn’t even know until the forth grade. But as I gotten older I get more and more shameful that I barely know anything about my culture, my mom try’s to comfort me about it but it never works. I always feel envious of other people my age that are more involved in their indigenous roots. I know that I’m not along and even my family barely knows anything. I also know that it’s because of the cultural genocide that was bought on to indigenous people and their children, but I can’t help but still feel shame for not being involved with my indigenous roots.

Happens to me too. If you feel awkward I recommend speaking most of a sentence in a language you usually communicate with and replacing one or two words in that sentence with the language ur trying to get comfortable speaking. Adding a lighthearted/joking tone and a delay also helps.

SolracJ88 No, I just get more questions going back in my history. Where are you from? Where did you grow up? Where were you born? Where are your parents from? I honestly didn’t notice what they were getting at so I’ve had this exchange with multiple people and one even chuckled like I was giving the wrong answers. I wasn’t being difficult, I was just answering the questions being asked. Now that I know what it’s about, I wish I was third or fourth generation so I could just keep going.

Listening to music, watching movies/shows/videos, reading, and even playing games of the respective language can really help in learning/retaining that language. Especially effective is chatting with that language with others that are fluent in it. At least, that is what I feel, and what my Spanish teacher has taught me :p

Oh my god, this is so relatable. Struggling to speak or write Mandarin has made me so scared to engage people because of how many times I get accused of using something like Google Translate or faking it. It's so demoralizing and I've nearly given up trying to learn multiple times. Yet It's hard to feel American either because I was not technically even born here and did not have citizenship until fairly recently. I'm almost nineteen, and I still often refer to both America and Taiwan in the third person, like I'm not either. I'm so relieved to see how many people also feel this way.
