The pinching the toe of a shoe is not just an Asian thing, my parents used to do it because they wanted to make sure they were buying something we could grow into, not out of.

Plus there should be some room in the toe even in a well fitting shoe so your toes do not bump into the shoe as you walk

I'm not Asian at all and ALL of these were relatable. Especially the parent ones, I think it's universal. 😂😂

Asian parents: Proud of our Asian heritage, tradition and culture. Asian parents also: Enrol their child to learn ballet, piano, cello, violin, all non-Asian performing arts.

When theres a last piece of food on the table, you offer it to the oldest person 😂

As a Mexican I can relate to most of these 😭

2:25 I’m not Asian (Latin American) but I can relate lmao

I feel like African and Asian parents are similar, I relate to all of these 😭

It's funny when one person experiences the "check the ears for a fever" thing and assume that all Americans do it LOL

As a European I can relate to all of them 😂

this is litterally my life in one video, the shoe ones were so accurate tho , lmao

I'm surprised they forgot violin piano and others. I was instead planning to learn piano, archery and swimming cause I only studied throughout my school days

I’m not asian it’s true, but i understand some of these Giggle giggle❤️

Things that my Irish/Romanian living in the UK self totally understands: Never wanting to eat the last of something (might just be me but i feel this weird guilt if I do) The shoe pinch. ("plenty of room to grow into them") moreso with school shoes. Feeling my forehead for a temperature if i claimed to be ill (I used to try and rub something against my head to make it feel hotter xD) but definitely times they are wrong, and doctors use the ear temperature Learning dance/instruments. Ok this is more specific maybe to my family, but one of my grandparents was a ballerina, so I was took to dance lessons when I was young (but not for long because i didn't like the other kids because autism at that age xD) and I was encouraged to learn an instrument, but I was glad to. Music is a good escape x3 IF SOMEONE COMES INTO MY HOUSE WEARING THEIR OUTSIDE SHOES PAST THE DOORWAY THEY ARE GETTING MURDERED. I SWEAR. But this sentiment is actually pretty common across Europe. xP (well, maybe not so violent, but I'd say its preferable people don't wear outdoor shoes around the house here)

I find the last meme so interesting, because cultures seem to crash at this point. I can understand the ‘take off’ party, it’s your house, a clean place… and actually it has a history in a lot of (non-asian) countires. But here at us taking off your shoes is just as unacceptable! Like I didn’t invite you to my house to humiliate you by making you take off your shoes… You are a guest, you have my highest respect, you should be comfortable. Of course it means that we ourselves are dressed up prettily and wear streetshoes as well, even though normally we wear slippers/socks. It’s fun to see different opinions. :)

But these memes were only about East Asians, because usually memes are abt Asian stereotypes. And Western people think Asia is only Korea, Japan and China. None of these memes were abt Indian culture.

Not eating the last piece is a bad tradition, because it's nothing else than wasting food. The tradition should be to offer the last piece to everyone else and if no one takes it, you can have it. Chefs put a lot of love in their dishes. Honor them by eating up. If you want to have more, the Chef will know that you liked it a lot.

Corporal punishment is nowhere near as common as it used to be in the west. In places like the UK (where I am from) and the USA (where I settled) it's possible to be prosecuted if you hit your children.

Grew up in the US on a farm so I relate to most of these as well. We also had a masculinity so my dad didnt like the idea of joining and dancing, or bands since it wasnt manly. We worked horses, built fences, bailed hay, raised a big garden, and did horse shows to sell horses. It reminds me of kdramas with a whole family working really hard to run a buisness. I learned guitar watching my dad and his friends after they lost playing poker. Then I started learning poker as well to get spending money.

I think this is pretty universal now. Or at least this stuff is pretty normal in the U.S. THE SHOES THOUGH!! I hate when people walk into my house with their dang shoes on and walk all over my carpet to sit on the couch before I have time to ask them to remove their shoes in the entry. I have CHICKENS that run around all over the place outside!! The last thing I want in my house is crap from shoes ☠ my carpet cleaner broke

even as a mexican american i related to 99% of these LOL, maybe it’s a poc thing

Im not Asian and like, half of these still happen to me 😂 I thought quite a few of this stuff was universal 😅

It’s not just that it’s big money occupations. They are also stable and respectable occupations. To say you want to be in music, acting, or modeling means an unstable income and occupation.

being an asian is so fun lol, could relate everything

that 3:18 I sooooooooooooooooooo agree with what yumi said I even talked to her 3 days ago about the same thing cz she kept asking me about getting married when I don't even talk any guys at the moment tooo busy trying to handle my life

I feel like American kids grew up taking TV shows too seriously, or there was a lack of proper parenting or something. As a kid if my shoes were on already I was told to "stay on the mat". In American TV shows people always wore complete outfits, including shoes, inside the house. Having grown up in Canada, even though we watched a lot of the same shows growing up, I would NEVER walk through the house with my shoes on! If I wear any sort of slippers or flip flops inside the house they are for inside the house ONLY and they stay on the floor only. I could never imagine wearing any footwear on my bed. 😫 Yuck.

4:05 that's so true.. when I'm just watching a normal movie with ONE kissing scene my mom appears at the exact moments and asks IS THIS WHAT UR WATCHING ALL DAY??!!! is it just me or does this happen to y'all as well?

well its always MOM hahahha

I love it so much.

Im Mexican and I can relate 3/4 of these

I'm also Asian and sometimes in houses which r stll under construction (but ppl live there already) they ask us to wear slippers becoz our feet will get hurt

I understand most of these🤭

Happy New Year

The slaps for the bad notes and the pinching of the shoe to size it, I don't think are exclusive of Asian families, in my house the same happened and I know many other friends with the same case.

at my cousins house they made us take our shoes off only to go upstairs. I felt so uncomfortable and exposed without them on 😭 it’s like being at school barefoot or something… what if there’s a fire and I need to run out? I want my shoes on at all times.

lol exactly we cant even watch sensual drama together hahahhaha lol

Taking the last slice of Pizza is similar

Yumi needs to travel outside of Korea and see the world more if she thinks most of these things are common outside of Asia, and are surprised they aren't. 😅They're definitely not the norm in most of western Europe. That said, not wearing shoes indoors is the norm in most of the world. There are some places where it's not though, such as in various parts of the US. I've heard so many Americans argue back and forth on whether it's normal or not though, so I think it varies a lot by state/city/area in the US, but what I find so odd is that both sides seems to think their way is fundamentally and obviously the normal and more common practice, and are shocked when other Americans contradict them lol. I also found wearing shoes inside to be a thing in some homes (but not others) when I spent 5 months living in York, in the UK, so I dunno lol. Maybe it's an English speaking countries thing? *shrug*

Relatable as an Asian, albeit South Asian LMAO, especially the shoe one lol

As a black American, I can assure you that we don't wear shoes on our beds. I was raised to take off my shoes before going upstairs and walking around my house. There is difference in culture in America depending upon the ethnicity of the American. Black Americans are different from white Americans who are different from Hispanic Americans etc. We might have the same nationality, but we follow different cultures. I hope you understand that!

All these memes are universal….

Understand all of these :c I'm Uzbek (central Asia)

We also have the pinching of the shirts thingy ^^ And the taking off shoes inside, pls take off your shoes, they are not supposed to be worn inside the house 😱 Norwegian here ^^

1:19 we do that too in Spain, until one person says you can have it, we don't waste food 2:21 that too lol, i thought it was international? 4:40 wtf that's totally false, at least in Spain we do that, with the ears no, and maybe if it's your mom, she puts her lips in your forehead (like a kiss) to check the temperature, but the one with the hand is the accurate one

Same for everyone I know in the U.S. Even down to flipping a coin for the last piece of food so we don't waste it. 🤷🏿‍♀️

I think the shoes in the house thing is overblown in the US. If you were raised with any form of manners, at a minimum you asked if shoes were to be removed. You can often tell when visiting someone’s house if they are a shoes off family because there will be shoes already left at the door. I was raised in a house where you removed your shoes. So it’s just natural to remove my shoes when entering a house. Wall to wall carpeting was a trend more in Western countries than in Asian countries. It would seem logical that Western people would be as cognizant of tracking dirt into a house as any other culture. No one likes to have carpets cleaned. Western culture has gone away from carpet now because it is so hard to keep clean. The first thing I did when I purchased my house was to remove all the carpets and install solid surface flooring. If I am just popping into the house to grab something real quick I may not remove my shoes but if I’m staying for a significant amount of time I do. It also depends on the weather. If it’s raining, snowing or muddy outside of course you take your shoes off. I don’t think removing shoes is as culturally engrained in Western culture as it is in Asian culture but it far less common to wear shoes in a private house than may be portrayed in our media. The biggest difference may be in public settings. It is culturally inappropriate to remove your shoes in public in Western cultures more than it may be in Asian cultures. I’ve seen videos from Asian cultures where patrons are expected to remove shoes and are provided slippers or something similar to wear while in the public establishment. That would be exceedingly rare to find in Western culture.

As a citizen of the United States of America, We learned from Die Hard to keep our shoes on at all times.

ain't gonna lie, my mother gave up on me with maths 💀

I wanted to become a pilot but since I found math difficult and have a really poor eyesight, I'm in medicine. But yeah if given an option to choose my career freely and in any country, I would rather go into game developing in East Asia or Animation. Also my best subjects till now are geography and history but the scope for that in my country is like zero.

The food on the plate thing I related to because you are being respectful, and of course the shoe pinching. Also the parents are super conservative & do not want you to party or speak about sex but want babies immediately when you reach a certain age.

Not Korean: never take last cake etc., always check space for toes, parents asking for kids as soon as you have a partner...

2:20 8:20 looks like my polish mom is asian now...

Why do these Korean dudes always try lookin like David Bowie? I'm not hating, it's not a bad look, it's just so oddly consistent.

The whole wearing outdoor shoes inside is not really normal in non Asian countries, it's just a few ridiculous countries where they do it (like the US).

It's kind of an issue when Asian parents are so conservatice when it comes to sex and talking about it, that it causes real problems for their kids when they grow up, because they don't learn a bunch of very important things. Hopefully the younger generation in Korea today will change this over time.

I'm African American and my mother would kill me if I walked around in her house with shoes do you know how many times I got hit bc I came on the carpet with my shoes on for a guest she even bought gloves for shoes if the dont want to take shoes off lol and then the pinching the toe to see if the shoes fit she doses that and then she tells me to move my foot back to see how much room and then took the extra mile and put it on her foot bc we are almost the same sized lol

It's so weird how Koreans react so strongly to seeing shoes in the house. Turns out...we Americans know our carpets are old and we don't care if they get dirty. We have vacuums and carpet shampooers for a reason 😂 What's insulting is when you come into a house and you are told to take your shoes off, especially if there are no nice carpets or if they only have hardwood floors. We don't have heated floors, so making me take off my shoes when the floors are freezing is really inconsiderate. Are we supposed to bring thick socks and comfy slippers to other people's houses? Just face it...our cultures are different 😂

The shoe thing is not an American thing, because lots of my colored friends, whether Latina/Latino, Asian, black we ALL took our shoes off at the entrance. But any and every white person’s house I went to they always just kept their shoes on throughout the house and as uncomfortable as I was I would just keep them on because their house so dirty there’s no reason not to 😭
