I know that anxious feeling. My mom is an immigrant from Mexico. And I’m like please don’t anyone be racist. Or when I’m alone and no one is aware I’m Latina and they say some off the rails stuff. I’m like really, now I gotta argue with this person and defend my people. It’s sad and the shit needs to STOP.

I moved to the west coast recently, people are so racist against Latin Americans and it’s not talked about enough. Had to put this lady in place for speaking bad about them and her thinking I would agree. I’m Asian but lived with roommates of all backgrounds. Sometimes I wonder why she thought it was okay to vent to me. it’s either you hate us or you use us as a pawn for the “model minority.”

As an Asian, I LOVE that this movement is finally taking place. However, I'm south Asian, so I guess it doesn't necessarily apply to me, we still get so much hate. I'm 13 and have experienced racism for my religion, culture, and don't even get me started on my food. You have translated my exact thoughts into such an impactful video, I got chills! I hope this video blows up :))

You speak from the heart and so eloquently....protecting our elderly is so important...protecting them from general ignorance must be exhausting and I am positive that you do it very well. Good job:)

I think it's really important to share this kind of stuff. A lot of people don't know that eye-contact, and other things that show vulnerability in "white" culture when speaking/introducing yourself aren't common in Asian culture. We don't learn anything about Asian politeness in school unfortunately, or even that much about First Nations, or African North Americans unless you take an elective in highschool; even then you can only pick one.

I love that- “translating all those things that are buried in those words.” I am so happy to have discovered your beautiful channel!

It is so wierd. When i experience racism, i am in a "flight" mode. Even as i am speaking up for myself, my anxiety level goes thru the roof. My voice gets higher and thinner. My accent would get thicker. When this lady was comming at my mom and me in a costco parking lot, i was in this " fight mode." Everything was clearer. I didnt mince words. I was not overly apologetic. My voice was deeper. I had someone to protect and that was more important than my aversion to a confrontation.

It was so moving watching you cook, something many of us Asians do to show love and care to others, while talking about this. My heart is in a million pieces. I think of my family, and all they have survived as Japanese and Korean Americans, and feel sick knowing that they're STILL not safe.

Another great video, and a heartbreaking story. I'm so upset by the events that are happening, the racism and hate being directed toward Asian people :'(

The discrimination was ever present but more subtle than what your family has to endure. Thank you so much for bringing this to light. Also, I have been eating your mushroom toast on repeat.

I am not Asian but I can empathize with your words. Being Mexican American I always resented helping my parents with what I coined American barriers. Now as an adult I realized how much needed to be untangled from their experience in America. And no they were never here illegally. Such a beautiful video 💕

I love your message to the world, and your own personal story. I found myself tearing up all whilst watching you cook this amazing food I have never even heard of before. Thank you for blessing the internet with your message.

Thank you for speaking up for us. I've been doing the same thing for my parents since I learned how to use a typewriter, 35 years ago. Love your channel. Please keep telling your stories!

I love how you balance cooking and connecting on a deeper level. I think both go hand in hand. Your take on your role for your parents help me think of my role in my relationships. I get it. I am there with you. I am Blasian woman living in a world which cannot believe I exist, demand I choose a “side”, say I don’t count either way, or shape me into what they feel comfortable with it. Thank you being honest and light. 💜

Tears dropped off from my eyes while I was waching your video. It's tough time for all enough. I hope nobody will get hurt and will not become a victim of frustration under the current situation or whatsoever in futuer. Sincere prayers for those passed away.

As always you deliver beautiful food with a beautiful calming voice and a story that absolutely kicks you in the gut. You are friggen awesome and an inspiration.

Thank you for sharing your and your parent's experiences so deeply. I appreciate the education. These are such painful times for so many of us, it appears this time is about bringing all our deep, hidden abscesses to the light. I'm hopeful we collectively have the courage and love to make the changes needed for authentic healing.

Hi I have been watching ur videos for a couple of months now. I think i started watching them on TikTok first. There were so many times that i wanted to write to u..Finally, i got a chance..

What a profound storyteller and providing open and honest conversations on your channel✊🏾

I love this channel. Your videos really move me to happy and sometimes sad tears. I couldn’t imagine hating someone because of their skin or cultural differences. All this to say, your authenticity is palpable. Thank you for sharing this vulnerable little glimpse of what it’s like to be you 🤍

Thank you for sharing a little of your and your parents' experiences. It is truly heart-breaking what is happening. I don't understand the hatred and violence (toward any group/person) and I absolutely do not condone it. My heart and best wishes go out to all who are affected by hate, racism, and violence.

I love your honesty and transparency

The topic of this video is so relatable for me as an Asian. I used to be so upset that my parents ask me to do so many things for them but as I grow I see that doing these things for them also help protect them and support them as they navigate a foreign world who is not always so kind. They left their friends and family and their home to give us a better future. The little that I had to do to support them cannot amount to the hardship they had to endure. Thank you for sharing your life stories and advice

Thank you for making these videos, i find them so uplifting.

Thank you for sharing your story and for allowing us in your safe space. I love your videos.

As your 800th thumbs-up, I'd like to thank you for sharing yet another heartfelt and important story of your family and culture. I've subscribed to many vegan-based channels, but yours is incredibly unique. Please, never change... Oh, and also, the dish looks divine!

Thank you for being an open book on the struggles you and your family experience! My niece and nephews face similar challenges, being half Japanese. It floors me the limiting mindset people have about cultures that are different from their own. Thank you for sharing this recipe too. I am a fairly new vegan for the health benefits. This looks delicious!

Thank you for sharing your stories, thoughts and recipes :) I can relate to so many of your experiences and love the way you tell them. I enjoy your videos a lot, they are perfect!

Thank you. In the most honest, blatant gratitude. I needed this and so do so many others.

Thank you for sharing your story. It’s a painful topic but so important. ♥️

Thank you for sharing your experience although it may be difficult. I am so grateful to have such a thoughtful lens into another’s world. Stay strong and remember you are loved

I love how you protect your parents 💚 My Dad lived 5yrs longer than his Dr thought possible: because I moved him in with me & my critters. When I retired, I bought a small place way out in the country. I rescue the unwanted/wild & abandoned. This has been animal & human beings. A practicing Hedge Witch, I've become very popular in my community as an alternative to regular Veterinary services. Instructions, supplies, a variety of meds (both western & older) during these strange times; I am often the only help available. My grown sons want to protect me. They don't want me sharing with my conservative Christian neighbors that I am a Witch. But I want my wisdom & kindnesses to be evidence, that prejudice against my kind is unwarranted. May you & your family find acceptance & welcome too, dear one.

Ps, I love hearing and learning from your stories while you prepare food with such care and love. 💟

your point of view is extremely valid! don't stop! thank you for sharing 🙏

So glad you spoke up. 👏🏽

My gracious! I love your words, your food and your videos 💗

Gratitude, love and support from Central Virginia. 💜 #stopasianhate #fighting #donate #justice

You are without a doubt one of the most amazing human beings in the world I am so grateful I come across your videos.

Can I just say, this video is incredible in so many ways. First off, the recipe itself is so rich and beautiful and reminds me of my first dinner in Korea where I ate this dish at a cool bar and was flabbergasted at how epic and incredible and flavorful it was. 😳 And the second layer - I love the incredibly honest, truthful and really beautiful story that you shared. I think all minorities all over the world can really sympathize with you. It makes me so sad that there are so many people with no compassion and 0 cultural awareness and your family and many others have to deal it, all over the world. The fact that it has lead to murder in the US is just.. horrendous and unforgivable. On the bright side, it’s wonderful that you are sharing the beauty of your culture and fighting through sharing your food, recipes, and stories. ❤️ I can’t wait to make this! 😱

Firstly, thank you so greatly for your content. I discovered your work relatively recently and it has been calming and soothing to listen to your strong gentle voice speak about life and love and hardship. I resonate with many of your stories about finding love after divorce, family strains and exclusion stemming from anxiety and social fears. It has been incredibly helpful listening to your videos and the cooking content is just a lovely addition to that. Additionally I deeply connect on the harshness that comes along with protecting your parents from a young age; my father is an immigrant to the US and also happens to be deaf. As long as I can remember I have had to tell able-bodied people that he does not share the same privileges as them and he is incredibly intelligent (albeit socially awkward like myself) and deserves the utmost respect. It hurts to watch others disregard someone because they don’t want to understand differences ( cultural and otherwise). Sending love 🖤🖤

I'm so sorry and so bewildered. How can people be so ignorant and hate-filled?

It is an incredibly important issue. Thanks for addressing it. Solidarity from Italy! And what a beautiful, lovingly cooked recipe on top of that.

Thank you. For the food and the words.

I love the way you ate the food from the pan

Absolutely love your story time and cooking! You really are empowering us and reminding us to reflect and appreciate where we come from. I was always my mom's right hand man and it was hard, but it gave me the opportunity to spend more time with her as she had to take me with her everywhere. I used to feel so stupid when handling her legal stuff, because I didn't know how the system operated as a teen and so they took advantage of the situation and charged my mom for wreckless driving, when the officer tailgated her so she would speed up a little. That made me look deeper into the legal system to prepare myself for future situations.

I am so sorry that you and your beautiful family have had to endure any type of racism or negative backlash because of someone else’s ignorance!.. Ever since Covid and hearing about the attacks against the Asian community, my heart has been hurting!..To brutally attack a person and blame them for something that was no more their fault than it was the man in the moon!.. I will never understand how anyone could ever attack another human being because of their nationality, colour of their skin, the way they talk, they way they look, the food that they eat and so on!..Or not being able to accept anyone who is different than you in some way!..Absolutely mind blowing!.. Thank you Joanne, for always protecting your parents, your family your community & culture!..Thank you for telling your beautifully heartwarming stories, and thank you for being you and the beautifully talented human being that you are!..So much love and respect for you sweet lady!..❤❤❤

Just discovered your channel today. This video had me in tears. My mom is Korean and I have had to assume similar roles for her as you have. Even more so since my American father passed away a few years ago. I am trying to remove meat and dairy from my diet so I am looking forward to more videos from you in the future!

You are such an inspiring and well spoken women 🙏🏼

I understand your family's hardship. My grandfather was a 1st generation japanese american. His parents came here and settled in wildwood nj. Growing up in a poor irish neighborhood was very rough in the 30's. Pop said kids and adults would say hurtful racist things and he would get into physical altercations often until he learned to fight. At 17 he joined the army and was in the 442nd troop, the most decorated regiment in WW2. When he returned home with medals and accolades the town had a parade and a holiday named for him. My grandfather said he hated the town more after that because of how poorly he was treated and regarded before risking his life and being injured fighting for a country that didn't want him or his japanese family. It hurt him until he passed away at 93yrs old. He was my very best friend and I wish I could have made his life better

Omg that looks so so good. Thanks for the story. I felt like I herd it before. The misunderstandings of communities can have massive effects on others

Thank you so much for sharing that story 🙏

Beautiful video! I’m a new subscriber 😊 I can’t even begin to imagine your pain or anyone’s pain that has gone through any type of racism, discrimination or hate of any kind.😢😢😢 The tears and sadness I feel for everyone I know is nothing in comparison. I’m wishing humanity evolves sooner rather than later. We must love each other, we must heal each other, we must teach those who might not know any different. I’m praying this generation is the last that ever has to deal with this. Sending so much love to all of you out there ❤️❤️❤️🙏😘

Thank u for this.. u tapped in on so many emotions/topics in one video from a child’s perspective to the privileged perspective and in between not to mention cultural differences are so misunderstood by many but what is more difficult is trying to have your/our culture understood /respected by those who actually don’t have one or if they do they just don’t care about their own. Again thank u so much. Also I will be trying this recipe soon it looks amazing

You are a good daughter! Your parents are probably very proud of you!

I love that you made this video. As the “model” minority we have been looking the other way while being subject to micro aggressions. I can recall so many of those in my own life and time here, specifically intended to belittle and other me. The people directing them to me were educated, people

Im glad you know not all of us Americans are like that. I worked at a Casino where I dealt with alot of Asian people. We had to take a class to better understand their culture. I honestly was very upset about it first. I was wrong for that. I cant imagine what an immigrant must go through in a new land. Why not help by just better understanding them so we can communicate💜💜💜 Your parents are lucky to have you as a daughter

Beautifully spoken, heartbreaking and touching.

Many years ago, I went to a Canada Day celebration in Edmonton Alberta. There were people from all over the world who had come as immigrants to Canada sharing their culture, dance and food...it was a day when you could ask questions about their culture without feeling like you were being rude. It was so eye opening for me and I wish we could do that here to clear up so many misconceptions about all the wonderful people that make up our country...
