Asian Boss need to do interviews in other Chinese cities so badly, it's fine with tokyo and Seoul because they're capital city focused countries. However, China is much more than just Shanghai and I'm tired of it because shanghai don't represent the general view of the Chinese. Shanghai has the most western influences metropolis of all cities. If you want a more genuine Chinese view then go to Beijing in the north or Guangzhou in the south or Chongqing in the west with lesser western influences while also being similar size compare to shanghai.

If they can only operate in Shanghai, I think going outside of the Jing’an CBD may help get a more general local view as well. Last time they were at Xuhui Riverside which was good.

It is no matter what are of biracial people in the world. The politics doesn't tend to correspond well with it ALL over the world. I've pretty much spent my life just being seen as one side of it all. That's because culturally more that way too, especially when having spent an important part of my life in Spain. My children don't see themselves at all as having anything Latino Americans in them all. It's just never been an issue, also because how much of Latin American countries pop influence in Spain. It just kinda works pretty good both ways. Alot of Latino Americans music ends up being top charts music in Spain. For example. It's a blender going on, depending on how much love it all and seek it all, and I don't know if to say that the tendency seems to run more done by Spaniards traditional values mindset parameters, just like my mother. Pretty much are the same way about any other kind of people in the world. Definitely where less racism exists in my life in Spain. The "higher-ups education and cultivations", most importantly first, then afterwards can add the political tendency of center fusion moderates and right wing Spaniards with likewise from elsewhere in the world. Otherwise it can be very bad news. That's why my sister has had bad experiences, where never with my in laws family and friends in my life in Spain, or her left wing artistic friends in Spain. She never had any bad experiencences about that, living in Vienna Austria either for four years. One of her best friends originally from The Dominican Republic, and married to an Austrian man and now Austrian American. They met in New York City, and my sister one of his best friends, and that's why she lived in Vienna for four years. She tends to live with her husband and children in places like Abu Dhabi. I think that my sister's mental wavelength has been changed too much after marriage to a guy from New Jersey,, and not living and moving so much around the world anymore. Definitely totally immersed in hard core agenda indoctrinations brainwashing grooming California about it all. Her Dixie Democrat sophisticate sister in law from North Carolina, isn't that way, and that's why they don't see much politically and socially the same way. My sister sees her sister in law also now in California, similar to Republicans. It's like the stereotype from my childhood of the 60's, of losing family members to a CRAZY California cult. One of the many created that florished and ended there. Do your research about that one, and take a pick of the many types of cults. There's just something about California that creates it all and allows it all to be. Too many dumbed down overspecialized, possibly dehumanized, egomaniac narcissistic blindness celebrities with a lot of money and media influence for cult leaders to aim for for ownselves about it ALL? Take advantage of religious freedom in the US population, but then can go after the older established religion of Christianity. Good luck atheist China with all of that type of diversity in California. Sarcasm. This is not a world anymore where destructive effects emotional needs are catered to, because God most certainly isn't going to do so, if that's what God judges that are. That's what I live illuminated.

The anti Chinese mentality in North America is simply appalling. I am just as proud of my British-Southeast Asian heritage just like I do with my Chinese heritage. But overall, I am a proud Canadian. Yes, we do have horrible history of colonialism and we have mistreated our indigenous folks terribly and reconciliation is vital to rectify those terrible past.

Enjoyed this. Especially the questions at the end about what is not heard/known so much about China in the western MSM. I have several people I talk to regularly in China from a variety of cities - Harbin, Dalian, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Shanghai. As well as American friends who are immigrants and still talk to friends back home. My limited experience is that there is no one size fits all opinion in China anymore than there is in the USA. Some are frustrated by covid rules but otherwise no complaints, some feel the gov still has their best interest at heart, some are pissed they cannot vote at a higher level than local gov, some like the process. There is def a common sense of frustration about lock downs, though. I do admit that. But it seems to me that the knowledge of 5000 years of history is a binding theme for almost everyone I know. What China has done historically and how they have grown recently are huge points of pride that USA at least, cannot match. I do agree it would be interesting to hear from citizens in other cities, if possible. But people are likely to be more careful now about what they say. I posed a typical American mindset question to friend in northern china asking - what if 5000 people marked in the street to protest the Strict lock downs for such a small ratio of covid infections? I said the gov could not arrest everyone. The response was 1/you have to plan things like that online, which makes it easy to get caught and 2/even if only 1-2 were arrested at a protest, those 1-2 would likely lose their jobs and income and school access. And no one wants to be the 1-2 who experience that loss. So its def a different mindset than in USA. And those differences would be interesting to explore (if there was a way to get honest responses without putting folks at risk).

fascinating!

I feel like the guy at 17:56 had an hour long philosophical monologue before they cut right at that part 😂

Very fascinating

First, I think it was pretty impressive to get 4 part Chinese part American people to interview for a publicly available video on KZread. Second, the tall thin dude said it best when he said that his particular Eurasian mix is more favorable than another mix where your skin ends up darker. Also, pretty privilege is everywhere. So long as you have a look that is considered pleasing to the people in that location, you will have a better experience. That being said, I do believe that their experience there is quite good. People forget to separate the government from the people. It’s a very different thing

Yup, racism and colorism. Pretty Privilege doesn’t exist. It’s just a term that was created to take away from learning terms that actually address the problem like: Racism, classism, featurism, texturism, colorism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, misogynoir, misogyny, and I tell me if I’m missing anything.

I think many Asian people (not all) equate fair/white=beautiful and brown/black=unattractive So that's why I think white mixed Asians are treated better in their Asian origin countries. If you are mixed with a black or brown person, you'd not get that privilege/favour which I think is wrong. Your ethnicity or skin colour shouldn't decide how you are treated.

Can you interview these people again a year later to see what they believe has changed in the past year. This conversation is very interesting and certainly brings the human experience together for all of us.

It's really nice to meet these wonderful young people, enthusiastic and loving their lives. There is no doubt that Shanghai provides a good environment and space for them.

I've been a fan for years now and am always amazed by Asian Boss' videos. Love the raw insights gained, giving us a closer look on the focused interview topics. For this topic on Chinese-Americans I find it close to my heart as I'm mixed as well in Malaysia (especially the part about identity crisis, not sure of where to side with). Keep up the good work, please treat yourselves Asian Boss and can't wait for the next one!🌟 (btw idk if it's just me but the 2nd guy from the start of the video is so cute!😍)

im half white and half chinese when I was studying in pudong, shanghai I experienced quite a lot of racism there many chinese kids bullied me because I am not chinese enough It got a bit better after I went to an international school but the memories I had at a public one wasn't too good

Chinese mix is the most beautiful mix ever, everything i have seen here is AWESOME

Somehow I can relate to them. My dad is half Singaporean Chinese - half European white and my mom is 100% European white. Having been raised in Europe I certainly experienced an identity crisis. But later on when I had the chance to lived in Singapore, Shanghai and now Tokyo everything just feels right like everything's finally fell into places. And as racist incidents, I experienced that in the US but never in Asia.

Fascinating from another 'halfie'

What’s up Broski 🦋”

BTW, Why doesn't Asian Boss make and upload a video featuring The "Lai Dai Han"? The "Lai Dai Han" means children of mixed ancestry born due to sexual assault against local Vietnamese women by Korean soldiers during the Vietnam War are victims of discrimination in Vietnam. Asian Boss will be considered as "Korean Boss" if you don't deal with things that are inconvenient for Korea.

21:59 this is what we need more of in the media. It's all negative in recent times.

Hi asian boss! Could you interview people in thailand about the Prinn panitchpakdi issue? I just finished watching a video on another channel and i had no idea that happened in Thailand. I was curious so i searched his name on youtube but i couldnt find anything.

Excellent video with them talking intelligently.

As a fellow eurasian, I really enjoyed watching this video 😊

Foreigners in China get paid room accommodation for teaching their primary language which is engIish not that hard since they grew up literally speaking engIish as their primary language in schooI. Asians in America have to work 500x as hard in schooI in order to get a good job or do hard manual labor just like Latinos. Its really off putting how these Mixed Native EngIish Speakers dont see how privileged they are

As someone from China I also find it so unfair and ironic. Disgusting mindset and reality

As a Chinese who live in Europe, I had very bad experience (racism) during the covid time as I was asian. I was quite surprised that a foreign-looking person experienced also discrimination in China. I really thought that Chinese people were always nice to foreigners. As for the beauty criticism, for me it's such a shame for many asian people that they always look for Western type of beauty like big round eyes, high slim nose and sharp-shaped face... instead of admiring our asian beauty, the standard of "beauty" is too narrow. Luckily now I can see some change, young Chinese people start to admire Asian beauty and accept different ways of beauty.
