CORRECTION: Crazy Rich Asians isn’t the first Hollywood film to feature a majority Asians - the Joy Luck Club in 1993 also had an all-Asian cast. Crazy Rich Asians is the first Hollywood film with an Asian cast in 25 years.
Not so for JoyLuck Club.The husbands were Westerners. Anyway,the movie is great.I watched it recently coz of CRA comparison.JLC is more serious than CRA
My experience every day: "Where are you from?" -"From Germany" "No i mean where were you born?" -"oh my bad. in southern Germany" "No i mean where are your parents from?" -"Oh my bad. From Vietnam"

I'm asian muslim and I live in Denmark. For me personally , It doesn't really bother me when people asking me where I came from. Actually It's quite good for me I think . Because I can explain myself as representative of my community which they usually only heard on media. Now they can get to know me personally and knowing that maybe I am not that kind of person that media portraying me.
I relate to Mia so much it hurts. For the people wondering what’s the fuss of asking where you’re from, it’s because when I got asked when I was little my ethnicity became a point of bullying and isolation. So that’s why I’m guarded when I get asked bc people will either say reaaaally offensive things or hit me. Being brought up in both Thailand and England, I get that twice all over. 2 questions, 2 punches.
Umm...Say a German national moves to Japan and somehow gets citizenship, which does happen, it wouldn't be out of place if a Japanese person ask, 'but where are your parents from', or what is your ethnicity, after the ethnically German person says they're Japanese. Why would that be a weird thing? So an East Asian person living in a predominantly white European community shouldn't be too offended if someone ask the same, unless they blatantly say you're somehow a lesser being for looking different.
Unfortunately I think we hugely overestimate the place that massively commercial enterprises like Hollywood have in our lives. As an Afro-Caribbean I am frustrated hearing people talk about Black Panther as a project that was significant in some meaningful way to people of African descent when in reality even a cursory attempt at critical thinking would reveal this to be untrue. Simply having a majority of black people in front and behind the camera on this one film does not qualify it as being representative of the black experience. In fact Black Panther is the complete opposite; it is one of the most ethnically offensive films made in recent years. There are many intelligent black people in that industry who know this but can't talk about it openly because so many black people's careers have come to depend on Black Panther. I won't attempt a critical analysis of BP here because there is too much to talk about. Black Panther was much more commercially significant than it was ethnically.
I have people shouted at me to go back to China all the time when I lived in York, UK. When I told them that I need to have visa to go to China because I am from Taiwan. They are all puzzled....
I know it's annoying bcoz I have been subjected these questions too, but I feel people are usually curious not racist or something. People are weird at this times but most are not racist.
There’s nothing wrong with asking where Asians are from, but too often, that’s not what they’re really asking. They’re trying to ask what our ethnicity is, which probably has a completely different answer for second generation immigrants. I personally feel blindsided when what should have been an easy question to answer, turns into a reminder that people see your face and the color of your skin and immediately define you as “foreign” when you might feel as much British/American/etc. as the next person. Just ask me what my ethnicity is, if that’s what you’re getting at! If I answer California, don’t backtrack and go “No, but where are you reaaally from?” It feels like some weird twisted game of trying not to seem racist by being really ignorant and offensive.
ShoMeSho I get what you mean, but if you resemble Japanese or have similar features to other ethnicity. Or if you’re a mixed and you doesn’t look entirely Caucasian, I’d be more inclined to ask. Although you may not perceive that’s my intention I totally understand why you’d think that way. There’s always two types of people in the world
@@Ebathora I really do agree with you I had been subjected these questions even in my own country but I guess racism is not just about question its more than that. And believe me I am not saying that people are not racist they are indeed and they do horrible things in the name of race. As a Indian i have been subjected to racism but the way i feel to call someone a racist u need more information let's raise the standard by which we call someone a racist
East Asians haven’t been represented in the UK media enough or at all. You can hardly see any East Asian characters on TV. Hopefully that can be changed some day. (I’m not british tho)
Asians are represented far more often on US TV than UK. Fresh off the Boat is an American TV show about a Chinese family living in Orlando, London from the Suite Life is Vietnamese. I know this is a cartoon but Stacy from the Disney show Phineas and Ferb is Japanese so that’s another example of Asians being represented more often in US than UK media.
I am also Asian but I don’t care when people ask me where I am from. I understand that not everyone is like me tho. But don’t I get it, they are just trying to get to know you and you being Asian is a part of you. I also ask other people where they are from it doesn’t matter if they are black or white.
I wonder if Mo Farah is asked what a Are you? where are your parents from? Whats your surname? All upon an initial meeting...I highly highly doubt it. After a while you realize ppl have a tick list
It doesn’t really bother me too much when people ask where I’m from. It’s the comments they make afterwards that irk me. They start to suddenly make their own opinions on how I should live my life, what I should look and act like. Can’t I just be me?
I didn't knew there were people who got offended when I say Half asian and half *from another ethnicity*, English is not my native language but I always thought using the word 'half' was to identify which part of Asia that individual came from or their parents came from.
At least you (BBC) got the British East Asian part right. I hate it when British South Asians refer to themselves as British Asians like they’re the only ones that exist in the UK. The UK has a diverse ethnicity. South Asians should realize that they’re not the only Asians in the UK.
I know right. Also in many countries when people say “Asians” they mean East Asians and southeast Asians and I don’t think they class south Asians as “Asians” in those countries.
when it comes to britain, south asians are the asians brits refer to when they say "asians", east asians barely have a voice especially in british media
As a BBC, people are more fascinated about our backgrounds, but that doesn’t entitle them to ask stupid questions, if they do, I will give them a stupid answer and deflect their stupidity back to them. It’s fun...
its a fact that east asians in UK population has been rapidly growing because of mostly chinese coming to uni. Its a education assumption to assume an east asian wasn't raised in Britain its not an intentional attack on your identity.
Like Mia, I gave up on being in any film of the Old West because the Chinese at the time were largely railroad workers and were not typically featured a major characters in those films. Fortunately, the Old West is not a major film export from the States. And yes, writing yourself into a feature is an option. I wish Mia all the best of luck in her acting journey!
I’m also Asian. I’m sorry but what’s the big deal if people ask me where I am from, my ethnicity, etc ? Unless they’re trying to provoke me then both my actions and answers wouldn’t be irrefutable. Just saying
Have you been asked that question more than a hundred times, from people who have literally just saw you and that is the first thing that comes out of their mouth? Like, they didn't introduce themselves, or ask you your name? If you think they really care about getting to know you, you're mistaken, they just want to categorize you.
Viet Ha Hoang Of course I’ve been asked a lot of questions especially by Westerners, I travel a lot and work in a multi-cultured workplace. Well you got it wrong by assuming they "want" to get to know me. There’s a fine line between categorizing and plain curiosity. It seems like you didn’t understand the last sentence I wrote up there. You got a lot of bad experiences I can tell. Ha
There will be more Asians eventually but it has to be based on merit not race. This is how we have always operated. Please remember your Asian values and don't start whining about everything. It will take time but it will be worth it.
"where are your parents from?" "this really annoys me when people ask me this!" "I'm British!" I'm really interested to know where people are from because I'm really interested in facial features and what race people are. Please don't be offended!
It is completely isolating to be asked where you’re really from. I’m not ashamed of being Chinese but I am also Australian. I’m not just Chinese, a part of my identity is Australian but when someone asks where I’m really from, it diminishes the idea that I can be both. It’s not right that I can only be Chinese when I was raised in Australia. I am predominantly exposed to Australian society but yes, I am ethnically Chinese and I am proud to be ethnically Chinese but asking that question cements that I can only be Chinese and I am not ever able to have that Australian identity.
Crazy Rich Asians still casts a half white lead actor, why????? Full Asian person can also be good looking. Another point: why does this video only talks about East Asian and relating it back to Crazy Rich Asians, which was shot in Spore so SE Asia, not East yes
Doesn't matter. Bruce Lee was 5/8 Chinese and people make fun of mixed race people too. Just be grateful that it was the first major hollywood movie to feature so many asians.
About FUCKING time too!!!!!! Massive props to you brave Mia, sharing those same scars as you and Emma I know full well being born in London about this, luckily unlike some I know you didn't lose your mind let alone take your life...There's been a shift (never thought I'd witness it) and with Brexit round the corner expect more :) Last few months we had Skyscraper, Meg, Searching, Crazy Rich Asians, A Simple Favor not to mention Killing Eve and Strangers on terrestrial TV at 9pm, all featuring non kung fu east Asians!!! Loving it. I'll be looking out for you on the bigger screen one day Mia, you've forged a stronger spirit with the energy your past has created. Mmmm let me check todays London Metro, oh todays feature is on Katie Leung, yep roll on the shift ;)
I can't wait to tell everyone I'm 35% English, 55% Irish and 10% German, because apparently you have to specify every fucking bit of ancestry you have.
People are naturally curious to ask where you or your parents are from if you are Asian. People will be equally annoyed if you tried to hide the information.
It's in the Chinese culture to not complain and keep quiet. The British Chinese haven't done anything significant enough to attract attention, besides from acing exams and building Chinese restaurants there isn't much more that comes to mind, and there quickly getting overrided by the rich Chinese from China who are starting to create new business in the UK as opposed to just canton restaurans
Joanne Smith Yep. they havent dont anything of great significance of note like the British South Asians. South Asians are MP’s, Mayors, councillors, in sports like cricket in particular, south asian business the curry industry contributes 2-5 billion per annum to the UK economy. Londons mayor is South Asian, so is that other guy from the conservative (bald headed guy, forgot his name). London 2012 dance choreography was done by a south asian which most dont know. Etc etc .. list goes on. Yet. We are not represented enough in the media despite being the 2nd biggest in terms of population, south asians make up 7% of UK. But the black community despite being much smaller and having high rates of crimes are shown as MUCH superior in the media, well represented and in football now team scouts survive without scouting for black players around the country and they stereotype south asians and dont give them chances. But go to your schools, high schools, some of the best players in them years are south asian kids. Yep, I too was one of the best, in fact others thought I was the best not that I boasted it. In years: 5,6,7,8,9. Then as you get to a certain age other things maybe comes in. It did with me hence I lost me direction but not that I didnt try. It’s just that it’s hard for south asians to make it at football because there’s is ZERO support for us both at home and from FA, who has neglected south asians. But now says sorry and wants to work in those specific heavily populated south asian areas. Well its too late. Karma is a bitch. hate to say this. But England will never win the Euros or World cup unless it has a South Asian player. PERIOD!
I don't know why but in our school children had a song in front of asians. It went like Chinese Japanese dirty knees wash your face in lemon squeeze The point is you pull your eyes up at the Chinese part and pull your eyes down at the Japanese part
Good on ya as (East) Asian trying crack into acting in UK... but um... the dream of being in period piece drama. A period piece would mean monarchy times in UK? Were there any East Asians around then? IT isn't racism if hard to make that dream true...
people are ignorant- get over it. if they ask if u eat dog just say u dont, or u do. if they ask where r u from, just answer where ur roots are from. ffs its not illegal to ask!! stop being so petty. im white non english and based on my accent they also ask me where im from- i just answer, and move on. yes, make a yellow panther movie, set in a period era!! maybe it will make u feel good about urselves. 🙄

It’s just that it’s hard for south asians to make it at football because there’s is ZERO support for us both at home and from FA, who has neglected south asians. But now says sorry and wants to work in those specific heavily populated south asian areas. Well its too late.
Karma is a bitch. hate to say this. But England will never win the Euros or World cup unless it has a South Asian player. PERIOD!
I don't know why but in our school children had a song in front of asians. It went like
Chinese Japanese dirty knees wash your face in lemon squeeze
The point is you pull your eyes up at the Chinese part and pull your eyes down at the Japanese part
KWANGJIN CHAI yeah me too. I think most kids in European or British based countries have seen it. I even used to do it without knowing what it means
@@dreamsteddybearsmaster We learned in the US too.

💟💞❤️⭐💞💕❣️💖Love this
One of the very few positive comments.
Good on ya as (East) Asian trying crack into acting in UK... but um... the dream of being in period piece drama. A period piece would mean monarchy times in UK? Were there any East Asians around then? IT isn't racism if hard to make that dream true...
Do you know that a black person played a British queen 😅
I feel really sorry for those Asians who have to live in third countries like U.K.!
people are ignorant- get over it. if they ask if u eat dog just say u dont, or u do.
if they ask where r u from, just answer where ur roots are from. ffs its not illegal to ask!!
stop being so petty.
im white non english and based on my accent they also ask me where im from- i just answer, and move on.
yes, make a yellow panther movie, set in a period era!! maybe it will make u feel good about urselves.
🙄
so whats the point of this. It seems like these people just keep on complaining.
U haven't been there so u donno what it's like!
Shining light on a problem
Erm... That Australia is used to having Asian but UK still doesn't. Oh wait, Australia is Asians?!
Bit rich coming from a black person lol! 😂
I assume you are black, shadow doesnt help.
asians in britain mainly refers to south asians, not east asians, as the mixed-race lady said we're at the bottom of the pecking order
The actress just seems like she has a bad attitude to me
aSian women are hot
