Its admittedly unnecessary but in totality he's saying outwardly she isn't his type but personality wise shes amazing.

Yes, she has an excellent, realistic attitude toward people and life. ++++++++++++++++ Unlike most Whites or other mixed/half's, she's Japanese and Ghanians and having spent, as she said, 70% of her time in Ghana, she KNOWS Japan is NOT as "racist" as most foreigners make it out to be. Because, as she said, she faces much more overt issues in Africa. There, they simply called her a "China girl." She reminded me of being calle "El Chino" in Mexico first time I went down to Mexico, years ago, in my high school days. Mexicans hardly knew, back then, of any other Asians, except Chinese. Former Strong Man of Peru, Alberto Fujimori, used to be called EL CHINO. Whether you're Lao, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Mongols, Vietnamese, Hmong, Cambodian, Filipino... so long as they THOUGHT you "look" Asian, it's EL CHINO! I smiled when Mexican kids called me BRUCE LEE, in fact! There are DIFFERENT levels or degrees of every thing we face in life. We simply have to put them into better perspective. WHITE MEN (especially Christian Conservative White guys) in the USA --- who still dominate politics and many aspects of life in America ---- for example, are 100% sure they are the "most discriminated against," the "most persecuted" segment of the American population! Some POVs are 100% off... but we all --- rich, poor, black, white, asian, male, female, short, tall, fat, skinny, what-not --- face these issues all the time..... My brother, not Japanese but Asian... he's born and raised in San Diego. But he grew up crazy about Japanese anime since his toddler years in the 1990s; he majored Japanese in college and went on to live and teach in Japan the last 15 plus years. For all intents and purposes, he's as Japanese as any foreigner could be... if some random Japanese merely looked at some random pictures with him among other Japanese, it's impossible to ID him apart from them. But once they realized he's an America (Asian America), his high fluency in Japanese didn't matter. But the way the Japanese would ignore some of his colleagues, in outings... where a waitress may only speak to him, even if he's saying, "No, my friend here also speaks Japanese" (usually a White teacher colleague, he said).... again, we all face challenges in life, in all the societies and people we come in contact with. MARINTIA'S ATTITUDE, therefore, is the most healthy one....

Marintia's experience is uniquely her own and I like how she stays authentically herself no matter what happened in her life! 💜

You were amazing and you’re perspective as a mix race is graceful. Weirdly enough, I feel that sometimes those who are mixed races are harder for people to get when it comes to different countries. Like the ethnicities you may be, may not be as understandable in their own countries or even in the states because they can’t differentiate but they just don’t know any better so they assume you to be one or the other, if that makes sense😅 I’m so glad you two collaborated.

Monoracial people often notice traits that do not align with their own. Like, when it comes to Blasians (half black + half Asian), monoracial Asians will often notice their more black features, even if a Blasian has mostly Asian features, before noticing those Asian features.

A great spotlight on another interesting individual. Happy to know Marintia is nicely settled in Tokyo with a bright future! :D

I love Marintia's attitude! I grew up taking everything as a criticism. It did me absolutely no good.

I'm from the U.S., Pennsylvania specifically. She reminds me of what my oldest granddaughter may look like at her age.🥰 When she was little, people asked us if she had some sort of Asian heritage but I'm 1/2 black & 1/2 white. My daughter, her mother, is mixed also but my granddaughter's dad is full black. My daughter and I have actually had people argue us down that we were Puerto Rican and my son (who has a different father) is a bit more brown with soft curly hair and everyone always thinks he's Dominican lol. Our area has a multi heritage(?🤷🏽‍♀️) Hispanic population so it makes sense lol.

I love these types of videos you do. The reaction vids are funny but the combination interview / reaction really keeps the flow going for me.

This is great video, from your choice of location in framing appealing backgrounds. Of course the standout is Marintia who has great way of seeing and interacting with whatever environment she is in. Her personality just radiates positive vibes. The interactions you both had with various people showed how differently situations can be viewed, even by those involved. There were some truly comedic moments and profound operations and interactions. Moisturized hands is not a phrase one hears often. I really liked how this video show cased how interaction and engagement change when language abilities allow one to go beyond surface level communication.

But of course I should definitely study more. I'll be back now that I see you also teach Japanese ❤️

So interesting to learn different perspectives about living as a "foreigner" in Japan. Amazing that the one lady thought that Marintia was actually Japanese. Maybe the fact that Marintia lived most of her life in Ghana, makes it easier for her to be used to some people thinking that she's a foreigner.

Thank you for great advice earlier. My Spanish definitely got better. And some other languages come handy to have better experiences. Today I met 3 French Canadians and it was the best.

Not really that unusual since Japanese make up almost 98 percent of Japan and another percent are Asian, probably similar statistics in Ghana's black population. Only found 1 static that said 98 percent are African, but from different tribes.

I really like these videos and seeing the perspective of other people.

i love the videoss always so fun to watch it !!

Her take on perspective, and whether or not the constant questions/treatment is positive or not is inspiring. I'm also a "different" mix, and have to do the dance countless times when I meet new people, to the point I quietly find it annoying.. ..but really, people are curious, and generally mean well, I'll remember her take for next time.

My observation over the years. Many, if not most, Black and Asian mixed, can passed for Pacigic Islanders. Tonga and Samoa. If I'd saw her, before this video. My first question would be if she's either of the two. And I've seen Samoan and Tongan that I'd thought were Black. Their looks varies.

The initial surprise is understandable in a less diverse country. The difficulty comes if the person cannot adjust and keeps othering the individual.

Beautiful mix as are most, could be a model. My Grandchildren are “mixed” with white Afros and blue eyes. I wish here in America we are taught more languages early on. We now have Emersion School so 1/2 days in English and 1/2 in Chinese or Spanish.

What a great video!!!

I have a sister in Japan somewhere. My Dads first child , born to a japanese, woman my Dad was crazy about. He was in the AF, many years ago. My Dad was 17 and needed his mothers approval to marry. She would not give it, and the AF immediately shipped him off to another base, and they lost touch. He tried to find her but it is very hard to find long lost children due to the "closed" mentality that was routin back then. I am 62 so my sister is about 65 or 66.
