I don't know... if someone takes the time to learn ny language and wants to be part of my culture, all of this while being respectful I would welcome them with open arms

Nothing beats the wannabe Korean girls going around calling people ''Oppa'' and doing aegyo.

Wow that guy's Mandarin is actually REALLY good for someone who wasn't born and raised in China!!!

im adopted into a Chinese family and lived in china town since i was 5 and im white so am i an "egg"? a lot of people say i act really Asian but i think its just cause of how i was raised...

What about a white girl who went to a Chinese-majority school for 12 years, so she naturally picked up tons of Chinese characteristics? Like saying "ai ya!" I've been accused of having "yellow fever" but almost all my childhood friends were Chinese, not to mention over 60% of my classmates.

Why did they dress up in chains, change their voice, and use stereotypical black actions then at the end say “being Asian is more than stereotypes...”

Off the Great Wall Make a video about the banana, white on the inside yellow on the outside.

So... I suppose Marco Polo was the original Egg?

Xenophilia. It's not uncommon. Try seeing it as an admiration rather than an attempt to be cringy. If someone was so in love with my nordic culture that they wished to be a part of it, I would be flattered, not ridicule their fascination.

Give that White guy a hold medal. damn he's good

1:27 Asian Guy: "I was born in Shanghai ;;;;bro;;;;" ...oh the hypocrisy of this video lol

An egg and a banana walk into a bar....

That egg guy must pick up all the chicks with that accent and those language skills.

i'm an egg i guess but i'm not purposely an egg. my attitude and behaviour is a lot like an asian's and i have a lot of asian friends so i pick up a lot of stuff from them also. i'm also into a lot of k-pop, k-dramas, anime, and other asian media. ever since i was little, i liked asian things and always thought the boys were handsome and the girls were pretty. this is just how i've always been. i'm not like one of those weaboos, koreaboos, or a creepy person with yellow fever, i just appreciate and respect the culture while still keeping in touch with my own.

Sometimes a person takes an interest in something and realizes they prefer certain aspects of it to what they know... They can even create their own personality and interests based off of a culture and add in their own flair. No harm done. If someone takes offense at that, its them with the problem.

I'm Asian but I wanna be white SO BAD! My family practice like the 'whites way' for stuff but still, it's just not the same. I just dislike mandarin. Like IT'S SO HARD AND I KEEP FAILING!!!! I love with when people says I look a bit like whites cause of my eyes and I want an English accent so bad. I hate my Singlish accent (I'm from Singapore) I'm a banana Yay!

I don't really see it as them trying to be a different race. Some people literally just have a personality that may resemble the stereotypical white/asian/black/hispanic/etc. They may have musical/entertainment/food interests that originate from a country they're not from, but who cares, they're being open-minded and learning about other cultures in the process. That doesn't necessarily mean they're trying to be another race imo. I do have a problem with people who get a big head over their "knowledge" in other cultures and glorify/accessorize it. Like I'm half Japanese, and I have weaboos trying to be my friend just because I'm Japanese. And when I tell them I'm not into naruto, sushi, vocaloid or whatever, they act like I'm such a disgrace and don't deserve to be Japanese. Like ???? Don't tell me crap like that when literally all you know about Japan is anime.

Why is it a negative stigma for someone to embrace another culture other than their own? Wouldn't it be ignorant for someone to just blindly follow the herd mentality of the culture they were raised in instead of learning something new? I don't see English people saying that everyone is English-washed for us speaking their language. How about being American-washed for using KZfaq (yes, I know the creators of YT were white and Asian). Embracing cultures ought to be promoted not frowned upon. We all need to open our minds and be more compassionate instead of judgmental. Personally, I love it when I see interracial couples or people learning a language other than their own, or trying different foods, or dancing to different music than what is in the mainstream.

"Everybody knows one of these people." ugh.... no

so to explain their culture they use stereotypes of black culture? i dont get it.

As other people have stated below, many people can get bored with their own culture and begin romanticizing about other cultures that interest them (In this case Chinese/Japanese). However, they see these other cultures through rose tinted glasses. They create an image of the culture in their mind that is far different from what it is in reality. Then they try to live this new pseudo-culture as best they can (In this case; learning Chinese, practicing kung-fu, and believing in a butchered form of old-chinese mysticism). Quickly they begin to resent the culture they were born into. This is all fine except many times the culture these people focus their interest/borderline obsession (don't mean it as an insult but in many cases it's true) on is usually one that is dominated by people of a different race than themselves. This is a problem because, to many of them, they can't truly become one with this culture unless they're Asian/White/Black. It's also the one thing they can't change about themselves. Leading to some superficial depression and even more resentfulness. Strangely though, this isn't anything new. People have been fantasizing about foreign cultures for at least hundreds of years and almost certainly since the dawn of human civilization. Hell, some of America's founding fathers were Francophiles (Obsessed about France and romanticized the French way of life, yet weren't actually French). TL;DR People have been obsessing over foreign cultures for a long time. People need to stop doing so as it usually is mildly destructive to the person's self-esteem and is simply stupid. Figure out how you want to live in this world and live it. Stop pretending to be German, French, Japanese, or Chinese because of how cool it would be to be one of them. In the end, a lot of them are thinking about how cool it would be to be you. (P.S. There is a difference between admiring certain qualities of a culture, and wanting to dedicate a large chunk of your life to become part of it without even experiencing it authentically. Also, there is a difference between disowning your own heritage and respectfully participating in someone else's.)

I'm Japanese, but I still love to learn about Chinese Culture. "I squat in the hole!" xD So funny!

Reminds me once when I was having a Buddhist discussion meeting (SGI) and a young couple came. He was an African-American who had been living in Japan for a while was saying and bowing all of the proper Japanese phrases and she was a young Japanese adult who clearly had learned all of her English watching BET. She had the hair, the earrings, the clothes, the attitude and everything. Not as outrageous as a Japanese Lil Kim, but a bona fide JBAP, Japanese Black American Princess. It was hilarious but they were a cute couple.

I wouldn't call myself an egg, I just appreciate China and the people. After you live there for a while, you just become more like them. I think its natural no matter which culture you move into. Love to all the cultures in the world!

Good lord. This is the husband of every Asian woman I know.

Lol I'm definitely not like that! But I love asian culture

I don't get this whole concept of "acting" like a race. Race is not a personality. Race is not a behavior. Race is not an attitude. Race is nothing more than genetics. People of all races can appreciate the various cultures of the world, and want to learn more about it, and perhaps even adopt certain aspects of it, without it pertaining to race whatsoever. I am a person of mixed race, but I love many aspects of Japanese culture and find the language fascinating. This does not mean I want to "be Japanese". If I were to go to study Japanese culture and language, and perhaps move to Japan, it would not mean I am "acting Japanese". It would simply mean adopting a new home, a new way of life, as the very same person that I already am. This entire idea of racial stereotypes and race shaming is ridiculous, and it needs to stop. You can appreciate the values of different cultures, and love peoples of all different ethnicities and backgrounds, and still love your own heritage.

That white guy's pronuciation is on point! 👌

Stop trying to make "The Egg" happen. It's not going to happen.

I'm half Asian/pacific islander + American .3. I can go either way =u= Racist friend: aren't you supposed to be good at math? Me: well, I'm only half... I guess the American gene cancelled da skillz ouuuuut Racist friend: touché

might as well call me a tea egg :) I love the lighting on the opening couch scene btw

Not all asians frown upon you if you learn their culture, I could say the majority will embrace the idea

The white guy has really good Chinese haha~ I'm impressed; Chinese (Mandarin and Canto) is a super hard language to learn.

I feel like I may be a tea egg...and I don't know how to feel about that.

Very funny, + I subscribed after watching a few videos. I like that so far you kept it real, you show the nice + not so nice about China.

I laughed SO HARD while watching this. And kept nodding helplessly when they went "Chicken feet!" "Fish head!". Oh god, I've been living in New Zealand for the last 5 years and you never know how much you'll miss this stuff until you're cut off.

If you call us white people, can we call you yellow people?

The egg? uh I have met plenty of white people wanting to be black, but never have I ever come across a white person who wants to be... asian?

This is great and really cheered my day up.

Dude can someone put the phonetics for the 'do you want to go with a handsome man to have a glass of wine'? Sounds totally rad. hahaha XD

I guess this means a lot more asian people are acting like American caucasians then, with them speaking English and chowing down on hamburgers.

*The White Person Who Acts _East_ Asian :P

"Four year old leaves!" Oh my god, that makes me feel better about how long I keep the leaves. This was really funny!

so good. wish you guys blew up

i think its cool that people are interested in my culture, theres nothing wrong with embracing another culture, it doesn't make them any less of a person and no other can tell them otherwise.

I just found you guys and I subbed!!!!! You are awesome!!!!!! My son was stationed in Japan for 2 years and we LOVE our Chinese resturants here in the US!

"Yo T is for tea!!" I could'nt stop laughing

Keep up guys. And Ben, I looovvve ur stuff. Huge fan!

I tended to say that my boyfriend was an egg, because he knew more about my culture than I did, while on the side, I can come out as a banana once in a while... In the end, we still understand each other and it's always great to open to other cultures, but let's never forget our roots!

The Chinese Gangsters made me laugh hard...

I took a little Chinese in school, and this reminds me of some of the speakers we used to have.

it took me a while to get the ending and then i started laughing way too much

Banana is a new one for me. We always called them twinkies lol

So.. I shared this on facebook. It got removed, and I got a warning for posting it...

This was dope. The gangsta (oh my gosh, my computer recognized that as a real word and didn't underline it) "keepin' it real" take was hilarious.

omg this video has the comedic power to lift people out of depression

hes so good at mandarin!

I'm Chinese and this killed me 😂 😂

lmaooo why am I here but it was very fun to watch!

Translation: "You are really beautiful." "I'm Cantonese!" You win the day, ma'am.

Where are these people? "Eggs" actually exist? It's like social suicide.

WOW, I agree with the guy below, this is racist. I mean, you can't win..either you are an ignorant American who is culturally ignorant and makes all kinds of cultural mistakes, or you are an egg...a wannabe Asian. How about this...some Americans love to experience other people's culture, and they are aware that there are things expected in that culture, such as in Korea, if invited to somebody's home, that is a big deal and requires that you bring a gift befitting the occasion. If it is a big holiday, the present is more expensive. When I see a Chinese girl living here for many years and she acts no different than the Americans she hangs out with, I don't have any racist wannabe names for her. I just accept her for being her.

Hell your intonations are on point!😂

This never gets too old with me.

Well, and what makes that of asians? Wearing western clothes, drinking western soda/spirits, learning english and so on? Come on, some people are atracted to "exotic" culturs.

'Banana', lol. Native Americans have a similar term: 'apple'. Red on the outside, white on the inside, lol. Uh... I'm Native btw.

Bruh I'm not even mad...his Chinese is pretty good and his Cantonese is hilarious!!

chairs make me uncomfortable.....and I can't get rid of my ankle callus.....can you help an egg out? lol.

My mother ate fish eyes - she's Korean. Love this video and the Pats jersey too!

Oh, come on. What's wrong with admiring another culture?

Pls make more of these

I love this!! it was so entertaining to watch xD Oh and the person portraying "the egg" in your video, his chinese is amazingg *o*

I want to be asian, but I really don't want to be an egg XD

I learn a lot from my Chinese and Korean colleagues. Lots of wisdom. I learn a lot from my Indian colleagues. I learn a lot from cultures all over the world. Thank you for the good laughs and for giving all of us something else to think about. Sorry for launching on Sarah below - I am deeply offended by the term "white privilege" which to me is covertly racist.

I seriously lost it when it cut to Carmen and Dan walking at 2:00

Haha haha the I'm Cantonese part is so relatable

There are white people that like to do Chinese martial arts, drink tea, eat Chinese food, learn Chinese, etc, not because they wanted to be Chinese or Asian. It could have been their interest in learning new things, which is not a bad thing. Chinese martial arts help with your health like CO2 ( made the bones in your body stronger); it is a good health benefit. Drinking tea is another good health benefit, because tea helps with detox the body. Eating Chinese food sometimes can be very bad for the body because they used too much MSG and it's usually very oily( which is bad for your HDL, but it's a good experience to eat other countries cuisine ). Learning Chinese is not bad either if you are not Chinese or Asian, because sometimes those Chinese people in those Chinese restaurants can be very disrespectful by calling their customers certain disrespectful names in Chinese. In this case, knowing Chinese will help you confront them with their customer services or in any other cases you will know if some Chinese person talked bad about you in front of your face in their language. White people who learned new language ( Chinese ) and learned about other people's cultures are smart! It's a good knowledge and people need to keep learning, instead of stop learning.

Title said asian but this video showing about chinese culture! Im asian but not definatly chinese.

You guys make the best videos

YOU JUST WON A NEW SUBSCRIBER!

So... what happens if you were born in china but are white? Are you still an egg even though your cultural background comes completely from China but your skin tone does not match that of natives there? Or, how about if you're black and born in Japan? Or, even crazier, Vietnamese and born in Germany? I liked this video, but it reminds me of the racist/stereotype perversion that is so prevalent in America. I still gave it a thumbs-up, but just some food for thought. According to this stereotype, I'm an egg even though my background includes Bratwurscht, Hamburgers, and Ճաշ. Just because I understand a foreign culture extremely well, or have lived there for a portion of my life, should I be condemned for it?

we call Chinese who act White "Banana" yellow on the outside, white on the inside.

Ben is the ultimate EGG😂

U guys are hilarious! thanks

That was funny. I like a good comedic stereotype.

I'm glad I'm not too obsessed with South Korea. It's ok to speak, write, understand, and learn the language, and listen to kpop or k indie or k rap or khiphop. Actting like a stereotypical Korea is not ok. That's tooo far.

Bahahahaha that was hilarious... you are all great!

I have learn a lot and you all are very funny.

MAD RUBBERY!!!!

I wish I was Asian. :( I hate being white.

That was quite funny! I'm sure my wife would agree I'm an egg!!🤣

Hahaha you guys are so silly!!! Much love to you all :))

lol I love this. I'm Native American and we get a lot of white people who wanna be us so bad. Its like if you even point out anything I mean Anything like what you guys did in this video, white people flip their lid and get mad. So I thought this was such a cute and funny video. :)

well you are making me feel a little bad cause I am very interested in east asian culture. I hope that I am not so annoying though haha.

The girl got that Treach chain and lock lol

Man, that guy playing the egg had really good accents. Also, that scene with the paper flower was adorable.

Really awful stuff. What is wrong with embracing other cultures besides your own? I'd hate myself if I criticised easterners for trying to be western. What you're saying is no different at all.

Is that bad that I am Portuguese but I love asian culture? .... I just want to get the better of my own and from Asia, is that such a bad thing to want? :(

my friend who is half french and half British acts asian but mostly because all our friendship group are Asian apart from her so she picks up a lot of stuff from us

The paper flower scene was so adorable. Awwwww.
