My parents made me repeat all the events of the day IN DETAIL and gave me heavily calculated resources to live for a week. They interrogate me and guilt trip me into studying if I made so much as a single mistake in a pop quiz. I love them, but they make me absolutely livid sometimes.
@@DivineAtheistWannabe actually, and don't be and idiot about this, when you want something so bad, it doesn't come to you. When you DON'T want something it's there.
My mom never threw those away. I think that this is less a racial thing, and more of a financial thing. If you come from a poor(ish) family, you are more likely to save things like plastic bags, plastic cutlery, etc, and even if the next generation is wealthier, they still keep these frugal traits from the previous generation :). I know that some racial generalizations do hold up, but not this one! You can definitely find white people who are very similar to the typical "asian mom" lol. I used to bring sushi to school and the kids would be like "the fuck is that shit, dude?"
SAME. My mom would have save more $$$ by buying some cheap a** bodega/Asian market tupperware or plastic recycled ones from a restaurant we went to years ago
Manguy mcDudebro bruh did you read, dairy is one of the biggest food groups in Mongolia. Just because whites also happen to like dairy too doesn’t mean mongols and whites are the same.
@Morthal guard Well from a show saying "(insert asian name) was food poisoned, I'm proud of him, his body is rejecting white ppl food." I'm not surprised. You have to let go and just enjoy the joke at some point.
@Morthal guard It's not a question about being proud, it's a joke about racist stereotypes. Which serve to reinforce the idea such notions are to be laugh at...do I really need to explain to you there's more than one degree to a joke/story/movie ? This could also be to, make fun of the stereotype asian ppl aren't use to black ppl. Since there's not a lot of black individuals and communities in most asian countries, they sometimes tend to be a bit...not racist but rather like that one kid that points a black person in the bus and ask "why is he brown ?" Then you also have to take the joke in its context, which is an entire episode based on the topic of racism. They have to make at least one of the character against the idea of mixing cultures to move the plot along and show their point of view. Finally, when you understand the joke for what it is, you can then laugh at the *absurdity* of it.

These days no minority kid will be ashamed of their lunch. So much multiculturalism and internet to go around that almost everyone is informed. In the 90s thou, it was a struggle.

Aurora Yu My sister is a full 7 years younger than I am and me and Mom used to take turn making her lunch to bring to school. While Mom just made her usual Vietnamese dishes, I sometimes switched up and made her something else, amongst which xiao long bao was her favourite but also what I made least due to too damn time-consuming.
I remember, back in primary school, there was this one guy who always asked to see my lunch. He always acted like my lunches were gross. Like sinigang, adobo, nilaga. The usual filipino food. Then one day, he tried tuyo. ( I know it’s smelly but I still like it for lunch.) then he absolutely fell in love with it. He even asked his mom to get him some. Now, he doesn’t say negative things about my food anymore.
Me as a Kid: "Mom, no lunch tomorrow please. I want to eat cafeteria food with my friends" Me as an adult: "Sick of this cafeteria. Wish I had some of Mom's dinner"
Ugh I had similar experiences in elementary school when I brought a simple Mexican dish of fried egg and chorizo beans. Everyone acted as if they never saw an egg before. Edit: This was a comment about cultural differences in food so please STOP attacking each other.

This scene brought back so many memories. My mum would always pack rice, curries or pastries with curry filling for me. She would wake up early just to make a meal for me. But i was too embarrassed and wanted to 'fit in' that i would throw it away in school. When i got home i would eat like crazy. My mum felt that something wasnt right and went to my primary school where she and my prep tracher found out that i was throwing my lunch away. At first, she was MAD. I was a bratty little kid who was too young and stupid, and so i said that her lunch wasnt good and that i wanted what the other kids ate. I can never forget how hurt she looked in that moment. She asked me what the other kids ate. I said salami and cheese or sandwiches with nutella. She silently took my hand and we went to the closest supermarket where she bought the salami, the cheese and the nutella. I remember her googling how to make salami and cheese sandwich the right way. The next day for lunch she sent me off with the sandwich. I remember feeling so excited for lunch, to feel like everyone else. But lunch time came around and i took one bite and i hated it😂 i missed my mums cooking immediately. I went home and she asked if i liked the lunch and i immediately bawled and said that i will eat anything she gives from now on. She laughed so hard that day. I kept getting made fun of during lunch, but the turning point came in grade 4 when one of the kids who always made fun of me didnt have lunch one day. In australia, theres no cafeteria system like in the US - kids always bring lunch from home. So i gave him a bit of my lunch and he fell in love with it. So much so that my mum ended up packing extra lunch for him and his brother for the rest of the school year. And he and his friends never picked on me again😊
In my country all the rich kids would bring stuff like mac n cheese, mashed potato, pancakes, etc and the poorer kids would all feel bad and want to know what stuff like flan and pancakes tasted like. Then when we got older we just realized it was cus the mums couldn't/didn't care to make them proper meals.
@@Meowmeowfilmsonly they do if you make it from scratch but most of it was from those instant food. Plus getting those things compared to sada roti and whatever food to eat it with or rice, calaloo/dhal, chicken and salad or smoke herring rice and dhal or dumpling and salt fish, etc those are all lazy foods.
It's understandable that the 90s. When I had sushi in 90s, my friends made fun of me that's raw fish. In 2010s, yo you have sushi, I would die for sushi. So generation.
Not attacking anyone but just an observation. I grew up in Thailand and eat chinese and Indian food often so compared to that most food is bland for me. Might not be for you but it is for me. And yea black ppl with their deep friend everything is retarded
HE THREW THE TUPPERWARE!!!!! I scrolled back and I saw the type of Tupperware. It looked like the expensive twist on type and my asian brain is freaking out. WHO'S WITH ME?!?
Exactly, I'm Vietnamese and we were raised to not even leave food that we took into our own bowls (leftovers are another thing together) when leaving the table, let alone throwing away edible things AND expensive food containers. If that was me in the scene, Mom would make me dive into that bin, in front of the neighbours, to retrieve those food, then depends on the status of concealment, EAT that for dinner.
@@kennethhwang3425 I'm Croatian and one thing I know is... WE DO NOT THROW AWAY FOOD! Also, when ya get to the end of a bathroom product, you don't throw it away, oooh no - you cut the packaging with scissors and squuuuueze the last bit of it to make sure none gets wasted!😂 And you better do it, coz mom WILL do daily inspections of the garbage bin to check if anything's worth salvaging too.
well, eddie huang did mention that a lot of aspects of his story, especially the portrayal of his father, were toned down because, if we're being completely honest, most white americans aren't ready for the kind of harsh parenting which is pretty common in asian and slavic families.
Tbqh, yeah, it does suck. But coming from an Asian American? Growing up in the westside of LA I used to get teased for my lunch. People thought it smelt weird, and when kids were trading food nobody wanted my bibimbap or soondubu. White ppl food allows you to not get teased.
One of my teachers in primary school told our class about when she was a kid she was friends with this girl whose family only just moved to Australia and her parents made her sandwiches on homemade brown bread. So the other kids Teased her by saying she ate dirty sandwiches. So my teacher said she started giving the girl bottom slice of bread from her veggiemite sandwiches and the girl gave her the top of her sandwiches so it looked like they were both eating white bread sandwiches
LYLeelers A distant cousin of mine from the States had to explain to a white boyfriend that, indeed, his half Vietnamese mother did not ruin the rice in his lunchbox just because it "tasted nothing like the rice I had at this Vietnamese restaurant!", and that in fact, his mother made sticky rice.
Yeah, I was exactly like this kid growing up in primary school. I wasn't teased for having Chinese food for lunch but everyonenelse was eating white people food and it made me feel self-conscious and like an outsider when I wanted to fit in (which seems ridiculous now that I think about it cause my primary school was majority chinese anyway but who am I to justify my naive old self). I begged my mum to make me sandwiches for lunch and she gave in and started to do it for the rest of my school years. It wasn't until around the time I graduated high school that I realised how backwards I had it and I realised how much I had been looking forward to days when my mum packed me fried rice for lunch because I had gotten so used to the sandwiches, they got boring. Now I'm in university and I miss those days so much...the food on campus is both expensive and unfulfilling.
I can relate, I was poor growing up and having everyone stare at you because you getting free lunch and they have to pay. That was some uncomfortable shit.
I felt so sad for eddie in this episode when the other kids made fun of his lunch :( it was made by his mom with love! Doesnt matter what race or religion you come from, a mother's lunch will always be the best lunch
A Korean classmate of mine used to bring his mums fried rice and sometimes even bimbimbap - used to be the best lunch I've ever seen anyone bring to school.
I’m Korean and I once lived in Texas. Kids at my school loved my mom’s food! It honestly made me quite popular. Same at my old school. Everyone always wanted to trade their lunches with mine. This kid doesn’t know what he’s missing out on 🥲
it depends on when exactly this was. during the mid-late 2000s asian food and culture wasn't seen as evil or weird, during the late 2010s its fetishized even and put on a pedastal thanks to the booming popularity of anime becoming mainstream in the west and explosion of kpop in the west. From what i remember this show is set in the 90s which is rough.
I got teased for bringing Taiwanese lunchbox . It went so far as to they throwing it into the trash out from my locker ! But that didn't stop me, I just bought a new lunchbox and continue bringing my Taiwanese lunch.
I feel proud how much the characters have developed: Louis’ Chinese accent has disappeared, Eddy is going to college, Emery’s personality has been distinguished from Evan, who is even more ambitious. Kinda sad how it all went by so quickly.
With a Japanese dad and a German mom, we had a mix of untraditional food and the kids at school would always make comments. I tried not to let it bother me, but my little sister definitely hit the phase of only wanted "American" food to bring so she'd fit in
Definitely blood sausage freaked out my classmates 😂 but I'd also bring in currywurst, leberkase, gulasch, and liverwurst. Definitely some of my favorite lunches but I'd have to tune out people saying it had a weird smell. (Which I thought it all smelled delicious BUT to each their own.)
I didn’t know lactose intolerance was an Asian stereotype until, ironically enough, I moved to a school with lots of Asians. I can’t live without dairy 😂😭 but I’m Korean through and through
Seeing tons of negative comments here, I just wanna say that I think that every country has its own unique and delicious food! I love European food (Spanish, Italian, etc), But I also love Asian food and South American food. I think it’s lovely that the entire world has discovered so many delicious combinations and flavours!
Well it‘s common today to shit all over white culture, then crying about discrimination when whitey sais something back. But they‘re just hateful keyboard warriors with no power in the real world so who cares. It‘s fascinating that american junk food is considered „white people food“ lmao. You must have a very low two digit IQ to believe that.
It's making a caricature out of American racism. I am talking about racism in the most subtle way. Assimilation, xenophobia, and peer pressure to fit in with white people. I certainly experienced that during the 80's when I was in school. Being able to speak different languages is not cool; it's unAmerican! Ignorance is a bliss. How sad! I certainly hope at this day and age, this country has come a long way. And the minority school kids do not have to put up with the bologna of what I had been thru.
What a wrong headed, stupid world view to say assimilation is "racism". Tell me again how many white people are "assimilating" in most Asian countries? Because I certainly didn't see many when I was hired to be the token "important white man" for our partner firm's office. The irony of Asians, of ALL PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET claiming that peer pressure and assimilation and xenophobia are racist is too much to handle. Also, speaking different languages is fine. What's not fine is not speaking the host language. Huge swaths of kids today are ESL all the way into high school--that's not okay, as teaching a kid who doesn't natively speak the host language, costs 30-100% more on average, its a huge strain on our system. This wasn't a problem with Asians because they typically went through a difficult selection process (Most Asians could speak English before coming here) but its a huge problem with illegals who can simply cross a land border. Pointing that out is not a "bad" thing.
John Yang That’s why many chinanos don’t know any Spanish . Even though in zoot suit riots , WHITE GROWN SOLDIERS beated and humiliated Chicano kids and called them un American even though most if not all did not know Spanish
In high school, my best friend’s parents were from China and she also hated “Chinese lunch.” I’d always trade her my shitty peanut butter sandwiches for some delicious, home cooked Chinese lunch 🖤
Since there's a lot of stories about Asian/etc. lunches in American schools here, I'm just gonna drop a story of mine, a bit different though. I live in Malaysia, where the culture is quite diverse and the population consists mostly of Malays, Chinese and Indians. I went to a Chinese school when I was in primary school, so I was pretty much surrounded by Chinese students while I'm a Melanau(just search it up). And from what I saw, most parents brought warm, delicious food in tupperware for their children during recess. But it wasn't just Chinese food, no. Some parents brought curry, while others brought fragrant fried rice or noodles. Basically, different foods of different culture were all there in one place. Best part was that we all didn't have problems sharing food because we never really disliked food of different culture. No one complained about smelly food; you'd be the one looking weird if you complained about the smell (unless if it's expired nasi lemak which stinks really bad).
Young me: *was ashamed of liking Korean snacks because other kids would think they were weird* Current me: *enjoys seeing other people discover the joy of Korean snacks because Kdrama and Kpop made Korean things more popular in the West*
Woman: „Free samples!” Jessica: „This is free?” Woman: „Yes” Jessica: „Oh great!” * takes the whole bowl of the tortilla chips and puts it into the shopping cart *
When I moved to New Zealand back in 2007, my mom used to pack me typical Asian lunches for school. My Western friends always seemed fascinated with what I brought, often times asking if they could have some. Keep in mind that most Kiwis (what New Zealanders are called) only bring sandwiches or even cans of tuna for lunch.
I just had flash backs of when I moved from Japan To Australia for a couple months in high school. The food’s awful, I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy
I cannot relate. I remember in elementary I was once kind of sick but still went to school. So my mom came to school before lunch time and gave me a bowl of freshly made noodle soup since she believe american food isn't good for me when I'm sick. I remember dreading bringing the food with me to class cause I was afraid to be made fun of. Instead I got classmates asking me what that smell was because it smelled really good LOL. Then during lunch I had classmates jealous of what I was eating.
Yeah I grew up in a multicultural town in Canada so I can't relate at all either. Neither I or the other white kids had a problem with other culture's foods being brought in cause we would bring in our own as trade. I remember trading stuff like perogies and sour cabbage rolls for jerk chicken/rice a lot with one of my friends who was from Jamaica for example.
This reminded me so much of myself when I was a kid. I was exactly like this. I begged my mom for Lunchables or sandwiches because everyone had that. My mom never bought it for me. When it came to middle school, one day, I went to the grocery store after school with some of my friends and spotted the Lunchables. I can’t believe how expensive it is for literally 5 bites of food. I bought it once that day and I never bought it again.
LOL I definitely remember when I first started school that I was made fun of for bringing in my Egyptian lunch. I was so upset, but then I got older and stopped giving a crap

But i was too embarrassed and wanted to 'fit in' that i would throw it away in school. When i got home i would eat like crazy. My mum felt that something wasnt right and went to my primary school where she and my prep tracher found out that i was throwing my lunch away. At first, she was MAD. I was a bratty little kid who was too young and stupid, and so i said that her lunch wasnt good and that i wanted what the other kids ate. I can never forget how hurt she looked in that moment. She asked me what the other kids ate. I said salami and cheese or sandwiches with nutella. She silently took my hand and we went to the closest supermarket where she bought the salami, the cheese and the nutella. I remember her googling how to make salami and cheese sandwich the right way. The next day for lunch she sent me off with the sandwich. I remember feeling so excited for lunch, to feel like everyone else. But lunch time came around and i took one bite and i hated it😂 i missed my mums cooking immediately. I went home and she asked if i liked the lunch and i immediately bawled and said that i will eat anything she gives from now on. She laughed so hard that day.
I kept getting made fun of during lunch, but the turning point came in grade 4 when one of the kids who always made fun of me didnt have lunch one day. In australia, theres no cafeteria system like in the US - kids always bring lunch from home. So i gave him a bit of my lunch and he fell in love with it. So much so that my mum ended up packing extra lunch for him and his brother for the rest of the school year. And he and his friends never picked on me again😊
Wait what kind of race are you?

In my country all the rich kids would bring stuff like mac n cheese, mashed potato, pancakes, etc and the poorer kids would all feel bad and want to know what stuff like flan and pancakes tasted like. Then when we got older we just realized it was cus the mums couldn't/didn't care to make them proper meals.
Awwww.. Thats sad...
So true.
I am confused coz doesn't mashed potatoes,Mac and cheese and pancakes need effort to make?
@@Meowmeowfilmsonly they do if you make it from scratch but most of it was from those instant food. Plus getting those things compared to sada roti and whatever food to eat it with or rice, calaloo/dhal, chicken and salad or smoke herring rice and dhal or dumpling and salt fish, etc those are all lazy foods.
Flan is rich people food ?
What is this store so excited about?!

Not attacking anyone but just an observation. I grew up in Thailand and eat chinese and Indian food often so compared to that most food is bland for me. Might not be for you but it is for me. And yea black ppl with their deep friend everything is retarded
HE THREW THE TUPPERWARE!!!!! I scrolled back and I saw the type of Tupperware. It looked like the expensive twist on type and my asian brain is freaking out. WHO'S WITH ME?!?
Exactly, I'm Vietnamese and we were raised to not even leave food that we took into our own bowls (leftovers are another thing together) when leaving the table, let alone throwing away edible things AND expensive food containers. If that was me in the scene, Mom would make me dive into that bin, in front of the neighbours, to retrieve those food, then depends on the status of concealment, EAT that for dinner.
Apparently 45 people agree with YOU.
@@kennethhwang3425 I'm Croatian and one thing I know is... WE DO NOT THROW AWAY FOOD! Also, when ya get to the end of a bathroom product, you don't throw it away, oooh no - you cut the packaging with scissors and squuuuueze the last bit of it to make sure none gets wasted!😂 And you better do it, coz mom WILL do daily inspections of the garbage bin to check if anything's worth salvaging too.
I'm not even Asian and I'm still wondering why he threw the Tupperware out.
Let’s be real an Asian mom would never condone the act of buying lunchables for their children and would tell them its a waste of money.
well, eddie huang did mention that a lot of aspects of his story, especially the portrayal of his father, were toned down because, if we're being completely honest, most white americans aren't ready for the kind of harsh parenting which is pretty common in asian and slavic families.

White ppl food is ok...if u like; half cooked meat and bland food 😂😂 But to each their own
french, spanish and italian cousine are some examples of white people food and most of the best chefs in the world are white
Sy Sharp as a full blood native american I find your argument moot
Tbqh, yeah, it does suck. But coming from an Asian American? Growing up in the westside of LA I used to get teased for my lunch. People thought it smelt weird, and when kids were trading food nobody wanted my bibimbap or soondubu. White ppl food allows you to not get teased.
I like rice.
Rice is great when you want to eat 2000 of something.
RIP Mitch
Izzy SoDope i can never have white people food hahah
Isnt constance wu just so beautiful :o

Nope
“That filthy music you’ve been listening to has made you a poet” 😂
“That’s wasteful man!” Is this dad for real 😂
Child slow your roll, I found the fact that the dad referred to his son as “man” funny. Where tf did you get smacking and unhealthy relationship from?
I don’t think he’s referring to his son as ‘man’.
One of my teachers in primary school told our class about when she was a kid she was friends with this girl whose family only just moved to Australia and her parents made her sandwiches on homemade brown bread. So the other kids Teased her by saying she ate dirty sandwiches. So my teacher said she started giving the girl bottom slice of bread from her veggiemite sandwiches and the girl gave her the top of her sandwiches so it looked like they were both eating white bread sandwiches
u mean white aussies? i'm asian aussie, and find bullies can be of any race really.
I think he meant Australian kids as a whole. One of my friends bullies was Asian and another was from Africa. Really bullies can be any race
Food is food no matter how it looks. The teacher is the truest mvp
I’m surprised kids actually eat vegemite. I thought it was just prank food or something.
Your teacher's a G
"If we get separated.....find a white family, you will be safe there"
I love this show...
u like racism
so relatable. every asian has a "asian lunch at school" story
Unless they're in Asia
Mine was a pork floss sandwich... try explaining to your friends why you have bellybutton fluff for lunch
My dad packed me stir fry udon noodles with fishcakes and everyone said I ate worms... I didn’t give two shits because those worms tasted damn good...
I remember not eating lunch because I was too scared that my lunch would smell and that it would annoy people.
LYLeelers A distant cousin of mine from the States had to explain to a white boyfriend that, indeed, his half Vietnamese mother did not ruin the rice in his lunchbox just because it "tasted nothing like the rice I had at this Vietnamese restaurant!", and that in fact, his mother made sticky rice.
Yeah, I was exactly like this kid growing up in primary school. I wasn't teased for having Chinese food for lunch but everyonenelse was eating white people food and it made me feel self-conscious and like an outsider when I wanted to fit in (which seems ridiculous now that I think about it cause my primary school was majority chinese anyway but who am I to justify my naive old self). I begged my mum to make me sandwiches for lunch and she gave in and started to do it for the rest of my school years. It wasn't until around the time I graduated high school that I realised how backwards I had it and I realised how much I had been looking forward to days when my mum packed me fried rice for lunch because I had gotten so used to the sandwiches, they got boring. Now I'm in university and I miss those days so much...the food on campus is both expensive and unfulfilling.
Fuuuuck if you came to my old school with authentic Chinese food for lunch you'd have white schoolmates staring at it like a pack of vultures.
It seems like girls are more prone to experiencing this "wanting to fit in" phase than boys
Sadly I live in a really diverse place so I can't relate.
Val K
Boys try to fit in just as much?
I mean, hypemen exist for a reason.
I can relate, I was poor growing up and having everyone stare at you because you getting free lunch and they have to pay. That was some uncomfortable shit.
I felt so sad for eddie in this episode when the other kids made fun of his lunch :( it was made by his mom with love! Doesnt matter what race or religion you come from, a mother's lunch will always be the best lunch
A Korean classmate of mine used to bring his mums fried rice and sometimes even bimbimbap - used to be the best lunch I've ever seen anyone bring to school.
when my mom finally agreed to get me “white people lunch,” she packed me a frozen spaghetti tv dinner (i appreciate her effort though)
She was being accurate.
@red x17 "Americanized" spaghetti aka fake Italian food like TexMex (fake Mexican food)
Wow brown people are super annoying.
I’m Korean and I once lived in Texas.
Kids at my school loved my mom’s food!
It honestly made me quite popular.
Same at my old school. Everyone always wanted to trade their lunches with mine.
This kid doesn’t know what he’s missing out on 🥲
it depends on when exactly this was. during the mid-late 2000s asian food and culture wasn't seen as evil or weird, during the late 2010s its fetishized even and put on a pedastal thanks to the booming popularity of anime becoming mainstream in the west and explosion of kpop in the west. From what i remember this show is set in the 90s which is rough.
I got teased for bringing Taiwanese lunchbox . It went so far as to they throwing it into the trash out from my locker ! But that didn't stop me, I just bought a new lunchbox and continue bringing my Taiwanese lunch.
I love this show so much!! So underrated and I’m so glad Constance Wu is finally getting the recognition she deserves after Crazy Rich Asians!!
of course, there are already sour racist whites who are crying about how it got that way due to so-called "PC culture"
Obsessed with this show & it really does a great job showcasing the variety of experiences most minorities face.
@@RawFoodLifeEnergy wait.. there are ppl who complain abt the existence of this show? seriously?
I feel proud how much the characters have developed: Louis’ Chinese accent has disappeared, Eddy is going to college, Emery’s personality has been distinguished from Evan, who is even more ambitious. Kinda sad how it all went by so quickly.
With a Japanese dad and a German mom, we had a mix of untraditional food and the kids at school would always make comments. I tried not to let it bother me, but my little sister definitely hit the phase of only wanted "American" food to bring so she'd fit in
Out of curiosity, what was the unconventional German food?
@@JustNatax3 blood sausage for example
Definitely blood sausage freaked out my classmates 😂 but I'd also bring in currywurst, leberkase, gulasch, and liverwurst. Definitely some of my favorite lunches but I'd have to tune out people saying it had a weird smell. (Which I thought it all smelled delicious BUT to each their own.)
@@App.pple.0 Damn excluding the blood sausage (god no..) all of them are delicious!! High five from a German. :)

@@samurairenn6232 fresh off the boat
Seeing tons of negative comments here, I just wanna say that I think that every country has its own unique and delicious food! I love European food (Spanish, Italian, etc), But I also love Asian food and South American food. I think it’s lovely that the entire world has discovered so many delicious combinations and flavours!
its not called asian food, its called yellow people food. Just like many in the comments insist on calling western food white people food.
Well it‘s common today to shit all over white culture, then crying about discrimination when whitey sais something back. But they‘re just hateful keyboard warriors with no power in the real world so who cares. It‘s fascinating that american junk food is considered „white people food“ lmao. You must have a very low two digit IQ to believe that.
as an asian, I CANNOT imagine throwing my lunch away! Even as a kid
Im white and neither can i.
My mom has drawers of those😭✋
It's making a caricature out of American racism. I am talking about racism in the most subtle way. Assimilation, xenophobia, and peer pressure to fit in with white people. I certainly experienced that during the 80's when I was in school. Being able to speak different languages is not cool; it's unAmerican! Ignorance is a bliss. How sad! I certainly hope at this day and age, this country has come a long way. And the minority school kids do not have to put up with the bologna of what I had been thru.
What a wrong headed, stupid world view to say assimilation is "racism". Tell me again how many white people are "assimilating" in most Asian countries? Because I certainly didn't see many when I was hired to be the token "important white man" for our partner firm's office. The irony of Asians, of ALL PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET claiming that peer pressure and assimilation and xenophobia are racist is too much to handle.
Also, speaking different languages is fine. What's not fine is not speaking the host language. Huge swaths of kids today are ESL all the way into high school--that's not okay, as teaching a kid who doesn't natively speak the host language, costs 30-100% more on average, its a huge strain on our system. This wasn't a problem with Asians because they typically went through a difficult selection process (Most Asians could speak English before coming here) but its a huge problem with illegals who can simply cross a land border. Pointing that out is not a "bad" thing.

That’s why many chinanos don’t know any Spanish . Even though in zoot suit riots , WHITE GROWN SOLDIERS beated and humiliated Chicano kids and called them un American even though most if not all did not know Spanish

Ha!!! Classic.
Since there's a lot of stories about Asian/etc. lunches in American schools here, I'm just gonna drop a story of mine, a bit different though. I live in Malaysia, where the culture is quite diverse and the population consists mostly of Malays, Chinese and Indians. I went to a Chinese school when I was in primary school, so I was pretty much surrounded by Chinese students while I'm a Melanau(just search it up). And from what I saw, most parents brought warm, delicious food in tupperware for their children during recess. But it wasn't just Chinese food, no. Some parents brought curry, while others brought fragrant fried rice or noodles. Basically, different foods of different culture were all there in one place. Best part was that we all didn't have problems sharing food because we never really disliked food of different culture. No one complained about smelly food; you'd be the one looking weird if you complained about the smell (unless if it's expired nasi lemak which stinks really bad).
my mother's mother is an italian immigrant and she used to pack her italian lunches all the time as a kid so i can see eddie's reasoning
I would've been trading lunches with her on SOME days. Italian and Jamaican Food.....My favorites.
"I need your Caucasian features to work now!" As a white guy who spent 4 years living and working in China, I felt that one 😂

As a latino, I can relate 100%.
When I moved to New Zealand back in 2007, my mom used to pack me typical Asian lunches for school.
My Western friends always seemed fascinated with what I brought, often times asking if they could have some.
Keep in mind that most Kiwis (what New Zealanders are called) only bring sandwiches or even cans of tuna for lunch.
I eat sushi for lunch ONCE and people in my class are just like “EWWW WHATS THAT SMELL,EWW IT STINKS” like wtf
"Liar...

Hudson Yang (Eddie) is now taller than Randall Park (Louis)!!
How come no one is talking about the scene where Louis called his son a poet 😂😂😂😂
I just had flash backs of when I moved from Japan To Australia for a couple months in high school. The food’s awful, I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy
I literally cringed when he threw away the food and did not get the container. that is blasphemy in the eyes of an Asian mom
I cannot relate. I remember in elementary I was once kind of sick but still went to school. So my mom came to school before lunch time and gave me a bowl of freshly made noodle soup since she believe american food isn't good for me when I'm sick. I remember dreading bringing the food with me to class cause I was afraid to be made fun of. Instead I got classmates asking me what that smell was because it smelled really good LOL. Then during lunch I had classmates jealous of what I was eating.
Yeah I grew up in a multicultural town in Canada so I can't relate at all either. Neither I or the other white kids had a problem with other culture's foods being brought in cause we would bring in our own as trade. I remember trading stuff like perogies and sour cabbage rolls for jerk chicken/rice a lot with one of my friends who was from Jamaica for example.
dang, having watched the kids grow up they all sound soooo funny and high-pitched when they were young
This reminded me so much of myself when I was a kid. I was exactly like this. I begged my mom for Lunchables or sandwiches because everyone had that. My mom never bought it for me. When it came to middle school, one day, I went to the grocery store after school with some of my friends and spotted the Lunchables. I can’t believe how expensive it is for literally 5 bites of food. I bought it once that day and I never bought it again.
