I had to pause the video to comment...I’m sure you won’t even see my comment but I just wanted to say listening to you tell the story so far made me think back to those middle school and high school days at Prince George. It’s crazy because being black and going to school there I personally felt like a minority but it never even crossed my mind how you and Robin probably felt. There were literally no Asians at the school and it was such a small town. Idk if you remember this but it has always stuck with me for whatever reason...one day there was a group of us that went to the movies and your dad called you and of course he spoke to you in Korean and I ask you why do you respond in English and you said you hate speaking Korean in public or around other people and I was just so confused! I thought it was so cool you could speak another language like I wish it could, but I never thought about how different it was because it was not “normal”. Anywho I just basically wanted to say you are amazing and always have been since I met you I’m in 6th grade girl! 💞💞

I was adopted from Korea when I was 4 months old and now live in Melbourne, Australia with the most wonderful family I could ever ask for (I am now 21). I completely understand your struggles throughout your childhood and high school because I was the exact same. I despised my culture and hated the constant bullying. I can honestly say that discovering your channel at the start of 2010 saved me. I finally started to understand what it really meant to be Korean, and that it shouldn't be something I am ashamed of, and you're the reason I rock a winged liner every day too! My best friend Jess, who is Chinese, and I always talk about our friendship in regards to the friendships you have with Jenn and Weylie because we see so many similarities and the way you guys embrace your culture helped us so much over the years. Your story is beautiful and tragic and it means so much that you shared it. Thank you for everything you do, I know it's not always easy but you make magic happen on this channel. You are a huge part of why I am proud of my background, and I thank my lucky stars that I stumbled across your channel 8 years ago. Thank you for everything xo

Nina Van Munnen - yeah exactly I always say my parents made me pretty unique and I’m so so so blessed to have them. We could have been adopted anywhere and it could have been to a terrible family. So thank god for parents like us!!! Now I’m living in Toronto Canada which is very multicultural. But I’m the only Asian that doesn’t speak my native language and instead my first language was french because of my family lol. Because we were a smaller town most ethnic children, Asian and black were actually adopted as well so it was more common for me. Yet we still had he same struggles. ☺️ so proud to be adopted from Korea

@@sophiachang one thing the 2nd, 3rd plus generations shouldn't have to hear compared to 1st generation Asian Americans is that all Asians are short. At least from what I see as a white American male is that what is considered tall, average, and short in white and black people is equally the same with at least the east Asian 2nd plus generations. Southeast Asian Americans are shorter an average compared to whites, blacks and east Asians but probably in 2 decades they will have the same equal distribution of what is considered tall, average and short in the white, black and east Asian populations.

I think this why I feel like I can watch your videos. You are relatable. You’re not Bougie, stuck up, like you been around the block lol I knew you was a SISTA (raised around black people) i understand how your parents feel. People tend to generalize all black people from one experience or from an encounter. We all not the same! My step mom is Hmong they thought my dad & family (who is black) were TERRIBLE people based off what they heard/seen. But now that they know us, they run up and hug us, feed us, come to our family gatherings & we go theirs (weddings, graduations, celebrations) I mean I’m glad you embrace everyone! Because I do! The world will be such a better place with that message. Great video!!

Thank you so much for sharing your story! It is truly great that you had inspired others who had been in the same situation like yours. I hope this video and your channel will keep influencing positively those who feel insecure about who they are because of their ethnicity or heritage. I'm Korean born and raised in Korea, so I grew up surrounded by kids who have similar backgrounds with me. But your video made me think about kids in Korea who have different ethnic or cultural background and are struggling with it. As a person who wants to be a teacher in public schools, I believe I should try hard to make my students embrace diversity. I really wish the world to become a place where no one has to feel shitty about being different. Thanks again for this video:)

That story was heartbreaking at some parts. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I feel like most of 1st generation children have to deal with seeing their parents work so hard for them. Seeing their mom's and dad's doing the hardest jobs in order to provide their children with security and well-being. Grateful for these fighters & heros! Therefore, we should not take anything for granted and aspire for more to share the benefits of their hard labor with them in the future :)

This is so important. I'm so glad that I have something like youtube where I can learn about other cultures and see that things aren't as scary or different as the people that raised us makes us believe. I'm so sad there wasn't anything like this when I was younger, I wish my school talked about it more, I wish they taught kids more respect about anything that might be perceived as different. But I'm glad the generations growing up now has this. I'm glad it's discussed more. I'm glad that we're becoming better, so thank you so much for this

This was amazing. I love listening to your story. I am truly thankful every single day that my self and my family were born and raised in LA. because I don't know anything but culture and diversity. I know people in other places are not as blessed. My best friend since 6th grade is Asian, we are 25/26 now. My boyfriend is white and I am black. I am just surrounded by different things and its a blessing my parents were born and raised here because they are so open minded because of the culture. I went away to school in a different state for a little and it was a freaking culture shock because there was no diversity of people or foods and i was so use to everything right at my door.

Your story is so touching. In many ways, I can relate, whereas the story of your parents and their gas station, I relate a little bit less. My family and I are so lucky that we never had to go through what your mom and dad had to go through, constantly putting themselves in a dangerous position to support their family. It speaks to the self sacrificing nature of our parents, that they’re willing to endure so much to provide. I feel like that’s how they express their love, along with food. Always making sure our basic needs are met. But in terms of our childhood, I feel you. My relationship with my parents was also rough, with a lot of our conflicts ending in corporal punishment. Growing up in the Deep South was not easy, and the stories of being teased and humiliated by white children has really embittered me and shaped me into who I am. When you spend most of your life hating yourself, it begins to define you. It’s only since leaving the south that I’ve really learned to embrace my culture, my identity, and accept myself. Thanks so much for sharing. Voices like yours give us hope and a narrative that we can actually relate to.

I 100% relate with you, I am Chinese born in another country. My parents have also worked tough jobs, most of their life in a bar/ restaurant. My dad was beaten up on the date I was born so my mom was delivering me alone while he was in the hospital having a surgery for his broken nose. They have been through so many robberies, even after they have changed to running a convenience store. I have witnessed an assault while helping my parents store, the most traumatizing experience ever and painful as I saw how they have attacked my dad even though he wasn’t stopping them from taking anything, they beat him up. I don’t understand why would they beat an older man. I relate with you and the moment u were telling your story, girl! I started crying nonstop because I know how that feels. To see your loved ones in danger or a possibility of losing them is painful. I never felt accepted where I was born, I don’t have much childhood memories but I do remember people throwing rocks at me just because they hated I was Asian as a kid and called me names and telling me horrible things. I never felt like I belonged there, now that I have moved countries I feel different and a sense of belonging where I am now. Also, I remember that some neighbours have burnt our clothes when I was young.

Sophia, thank you for this video. This hit me HARD in sooo many ways. I grew up in Finland and until this day there aren't a lot of asians here. I was so embarrassed about my heritage growing up and until this day I sometimes feel ashamed of being different than all my friends. I was embarrassed about speaking chinese in public, or eat traditional chinese food and how I looked like. I was trying so hard to be like everyone else and didn't embrace that I was different. My parents also had a small store when I was growing up and it got robbed four times. Your story made me cry so hard, I don't think I have related to anyone so much my entire life. I truly want to thank you for sharing your story and making me feel like I wasn't alone and that there is a community that I belong in.

I was lucky enough to live and work in Korea for a year. I was following you long before I did but I learned so much about not only the Korean culture but American culture too oddly enough. I fell in love with Korean food and honestly I would love to go back. A lot of the Koreans I met were so loving and open towards us. I felt like I was a part of a whole new family. I'm so sorry about what happened to your dad! It's so hard having to endure such trials when you're making an honest living to take care of your family. Its disheartening knowing that people who do such fowl things paint all of us in a bad light when we are not all crooks,criminals or bad people.
