What It's Like To Grow Up Mixed Race (5 Different Ethnicities)
Ойын-сауық
This is a video I've been meaning to make for a few years now. Some of you may remember back in 2019, I had a video go viral about my mixed-race background. That is my most viewed video on TikTok. I think it got over 12 or 15 million views on TikTok alone. I also started a trend called Wasian check. Wasian means white and Asian. Thousands of people used the audio. It was cool; we all had this shared identity and found each other on the internet. That aside, let's talk about how being mixed really is.

I’m Puerto Rican and knowing you have some Puerto Rican in your blood makes you a Boricua in my eyes. Much love and respect. 🇵🇷

There's no such thing as "Puerto Rican blood" 70% of Puerto Ricans are full blooded spanish, the rest is mulatto
Im also mixed and parents are also mixed, so from my mom I have english, scottish, welsh, irish and a bit of french from my maternal grandmother and Indonesian, Romani-Indian and Dutch from my maternal grandfather while my dad side I have Indonesian, Chinese, Portuguese and Saudi Arabian from my paternal grandmother and I have American, Australian and English from my paternal grandfather.
The amount I relate to this video being half Japanese is lowkey insane 🫡

I’m also hapa, but never really felt different from people around me… Probably because I’m brazilian and this country is very diverse.
I love this video! my mom is Japanese, Hawaiian, Irish, and Tahitian and my dad is half black half Korean. I relate to this lots--also share some of that Hawaiian-japanese culture as well :)

I have always wondered how mixed people view legacy and having kids. What culture is passed on to kids of mixed people? What sense of identity?
This inspires me to make something similar, South Eastern European version.

Yeah he is really handsome
I’m 1/4 Spanish and 3/4 Filipino but many Filipinos have Spanish blood anyway so I just say I’m Filipino. It was only my grandparents who were mestizos who spoke Spanish, my parents spoke English and Tagalog. I speak Chinese, apart from English and Tagalog since I live here in Taiwan for 15 years now. 😂😂😂
Im also super mixed, my mom is 1/4th indonesian 1/4th dutch 1/4th kazakh 1/4th english. My dad dont know exactly but sephardic jew and middle eastern and i think some italian and english mixed in i think. I even found out on my dna test im melanesian(oceanian) and austronesian because of my moms indonesian side.

@@NikoKatsuyoshi1i feel partly sad because i dont know most of my ancestors's cultures but always pretty happy because i get to be a world citizen like you. 👍🏼😁(Also your name Ichiro you mentioned means first son. My hebrew last name Ben-Chaim means Son of Life) just a random thing lol
It is not what goes in that counts but what comes out that counts. I see someone that most would like to call home.
Are your eyes blue, green or hazel? 🤩 You look great. Half asian people are great looking.
