Here is the grading scale:

F= Find a new family
Mohan Gautam that’s so harsh lol
I know right.. :D
Mohan Gautam yes
Veronica DeLina honestly, it doesn't feel harsh to me cuz I'm used to it now and it guarantees i get good grades 😂😂
Veronica DeLina em you miss some and got some wrong
A+=OK you can sleep in your own bed
A =sleep in the couch
A-=no tv for you
B=bye bye
C to F=you are not my son
My mom is Thai and she always compared me to other children in a good way "You're so much prettier and slimmer than her" or "I heard ... is doing bad in school, I'm glad my daughter is doing so well". My grandmother always talked bad about my mom do my mom didn't want her daughter to feel as miserable as she did when growing up.
Genmaichi is this real?my grandparents loves me and even give me money when I got yelled at by my mom,they are the best grandparents,sadly they live with their parents now
Same lol
My dad is Lao and he would brag to me to my “grandmas” and “grandpas” (not biologically though) how I would get good grades, but I actually don’t... lol (used to tho)
I hate this action 😠, it will be hurt their children
In my family you're either a Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer, or an orphan.
Pika Productions yup
that's not true,you just got that from a meme
But it's true in my family and guess what I'm a orphan
Chris Chow nope I’m asian it’s true
Pika Productions bruh
Asian parents be like
Asian soup: helps with pimples and makes you prettier
American soup: makes you fat and is full of crap
kyle te my mum tells me everything Asian makes me "prettier" lmao
kyle te AND it tastes ?? Good
+Emma Labinza drink, drink make you pretty and less pimples
kyle te
kyle te true
Here are few more thing about growing up with immigrant Asian parents:
- They rarely or never use the dishwasher. They use it as a way to store and dry dishes. I have to wash dishes after every meal.
- Allowances? Nope. Not in my childhood. Except Chinese New Year I got some cash in a red envelope.
- Mooncakes during Lunar Festival around September
- Karokes
ALL of these!!
These I can relate to(except moon cakes and Chinese New Year)
YESSS in all my years of living we've only used the dishwasher like twice except my parents took the red envelopes away every year cause "i don't need the money"
Arthur Hypernova me too it sucks and when I ask if they could pay allowance to my siblings and me when we do chores they would strictly say no
Holy crap dude, mooncake is life.
My mom calls me skinny every...
Single....
Time.
So she gives me more food, which is a good thing XD
haha yea my mom still calls me skinny to this day. When I was young she tried feeding me steak everyday so i could keep up with all the other kids :)
Off the Great Wall Wow haha that's a good idea, my mom just gave me steam buns and noodle all day, every day.
yumm now im hungry
Off the Great Wall Yeah me too, Asian food is the best. （＞ｙ＜）
MLG Trashiyama yup me to
My Asian life from my immigrant parents
-Money from red enveloped
-Vietnamese karaokes
-talks about how the Internet is rotten
-My gossiping mom talking about me
-Intense grading system, "F" means I'll get beat
-Intense beating on MA butt
Does this relate to anyone??
EDIT: Thanks for commenting, I never even knew I commented this at all after 4 years
I Am JHope's Nightmare Snakeu This is so relatable that I can't even.
Yep so much X)
I do, like every party I go to will have karaoke😑
so true
I Am JHope's Nightmare Snakeu Yes
I-I steal the hotel shampoo and stuff... shhhhhh. 😅
I sometimes do so, you're not alone... XD
Emily Beacham we hoard jams and ketchup and blah blah blah
I paid for it so by God I'm taking it home!
My mom does that
UR NOT ALONEE XD i stole nutella once. It was 100% worth it
i remeber opening butter and jam containers in my grandmas fridge and finding noTHING BUT KIMCHI
+Kayla GumDrop lol I died
ikr just like my Japanese grandma many years ago
I'm Confused I find nothing but vegetables.
I wonder how many westerners, like me, watch your videos to learn more about Asian culture. I have been lucky enough to have some great Asian friends, so I know how to properly enter a home, bring a hostess gift, share a meal, show proper respect, use my rice bowl and chopsticks properly, etc. However, I have learned even more watching your fun and informative videos. Thanks for the the information you share.
+Charity Sheppard awesome I'm sure you're not alone :)
lol wat? How to property enter a home? You mean by going through the door instead of the windows?? lmao
I meant by removing your shoes as most Westerners do not know is proper. I do not know why you have to be sarcastic.
It's like he is promoting the tiger balm 😂😂
oh believe me I am... it's all over my office now :)
Yes to tiger balm and other ointments / oils . in the house, office
one time my food was packed in a thermos and i guess there was too much pressure or something in the thermos so i couldn't open it. I went to the teacher and he had to try really hard to open it and it exploded and the room smelled like farts and it was all on the celing.
White flower oil is good too as "magical ointment"
this omg
Ezra Fleming can't tell context of your sentence. In Chinese its called "bak fa yao" which literally translated is white flower oil. In case you thought I was stupid
No I was trying to relate haha I use bak fa yao all the time. Mom got me in the habit
Ezra Fleming ohhhh right haha 😂
we use White Flower too! and Vicks
OMG the plastic bags. My grandma always has lots of plastic bags in her bag. And inside the plastic bags contains smaller plastic bags.
lol yup its like a nesting doll of plastic bags
Jason Tung Same! I agree, it happens so much to me!
OMG IKR
Did anybody else use that green liquid (feng you jing) or the clear version (bai hua you) instead of tiger balm?
+solfiecat Yes! Me too
Yep
OMG YES!! my family refers it by "the green stuff"
omgggg we always use feng you jing
I'm white, but I had hippy parents that travelled all over India and such, so I can so relate to the Tiger Balm. The smell and feel is childhood.
usually, when i was sick, my grandma would mix lemon, honey, and warm water and have me drink it. it was really good.
Good to know I'm not the only one
well, I don't think this is an asian thing, cause here in Germany people also use to drink something like "hot lemon" when being sick ;)
I'm asian but I do that
My grandma or mom would force ginger tea or lemon tea down my throat. It sucks
+Alyssa Naniram I just caught a cold, so I prepared the juice of one Lemon, honey and some peppermint with hot water and it's super nice ;)
ALL OF THEM. SO ACCURATE AND I'M ONLY HALF CHINESE
Same here.
Sooo relatable too!!!!!!!!!!
SAME HERE
I'm Half Korean or something. I'm not 100% sure because my mom was adopted in Korea, but she doesn't look fully Korean. And only a few of these are accurate to my life...
full on chinese
I had a Chinese friend and I would trade her my cookies for a few spoonfuls of her food lmao. So you really can trade, just find a kid that really enjoys Asian food like me.
sushi is easier to trade
I am Asian,and this ReLATES so much!
Keep up the good work!😄
Omg!!!! You're legit describing my life right here...
Except for the packed lunch... i eat school lunch....
yea same, & heyyy army ily
1 - Didn't have to go to Saturday/Sunday school because where I'm from it's mandatory for me to learn Chinese in school (we have a policy where you have to learn English and your mother tongue language)
2- I didn't get compared by my parents to other kids for two reasons. One: Didn't have anybody to compare me to. Two: My parents aren't the type to compare. Literally their motto for me and my brother academically is 'Just try your best and we'll be happy'. They're the most laid-back parents I have ever seen.
3 -This is the only one I agree FULLY with. We have tiger balm and vicks all over the house at all times.
4 - We don't celebrate halloween where I'm from.
5- My mother doesn't cook and the canteen food here is actually pretty good.
6 - No road trips.
7 - No wrapping.
8 - My parents don't really bother checking my grades, as long as I pass, they're happy.
9 - My family does hoard plastic bags and oddly enough tissue paper.
10 - Free time in my house is my parents telling me and my brother to go outside and hang out with our friends.
11 - My family doesn't really care when I get sick since I usually recover very quickly. Only had the pleasure of drinking herbal medicine once.
So, as a Singaporean Chinese, none of this really relates to me. Try again next time lol :)
In our family, growing up as one of the youngest out of all of my cousins, I was made to welcome the elders in the family to the dinner table as a sign of respect. At the time it sucked to be the youngest kid because there were so many people, but in retrospect it later taught me to be a kind and respectful to our elders.
"What's your name?"
"I don't know..."
LOL!!!
I get compared to my friends ALL the time
also n 3 but another brand
LoL I'm basically Asian on the inside ,I take sbenikh and foul to school
Rindala El Ahdab me too! Cousins mostly! And I compare them to their parents and my parents is killing me after that with lecture😂😒
IKR
Jimjim • my cousins too
I never took Sunday school seriously I'm Aussie and
My parents made me do it even though I'm not Asian
wait like religious school or your parents made you go to an asian culture school LoL
When I was younger I thought Tiger Balm was for your lips and put it on 😂
I remember these like drinks that make u feel better and makes u feel better
In Mexico we use Tiger Balm too for flue and for muscle pain
Eduardo Vázquez López flue😂
Yes, we put some in the nose and fluid just go... for a minutes, but for people who hate flu, it's good
whoa thats really cool is it called tiger balm or something else?
Off the Great Wall Tiger Balm, we buy it in Chinese stores, there are many in all Mexico, it has the Tiger and the Chinese signs... Even the tiny little jar. I remember there are 2 kinds of balm, red and yellow, both have a very special smell
Mexicans use either Tiger Balm or Vicks Vapor Rub.....either one but personally it was Vicks that my grandma slathered all-over whenever we were sick. Cures all like Tiger Balm, it was used for muscle pain, when we were sick, bug bites, headaches...you name it. n.n lol
I STOLE THE HOTEL SOAPS AND SHAMPOOS NOW IM ON THE RUN !
Asian grading system:
A = average
B = bad
C = catastrophe
D = disaster
F = flogging
I relate to this 100/100 and I'll raise my kids the same way 😈
Literally matched with 100% of these things!! My Asian parents would be so proud.
Sound awfully familiar !! Hispanic Use Vick VapoRub lol for everything!!!
vaporoo 😂
los españoles tambiénnn
Jacky Valencia aka code name vick
El vick curaba todo, tu sabias que si te en fermabas tu olias a vicks. Puerto Rico
Jacky Valencia lol ikr
I definitely feel the "protected furniture" thing as a trait among "immigrant" families. My grandmother is from Puerto Rico (which is a commonwealth thus the "immigrant" thing) and for years she had her couch wrapped with a very heavy plastic case. Finally she took it off as she got older so she can enjoy it. It was the ugliest thing while wrapped but it really did keep that couch set in great condition! Its exactly as I remember it from over 20 years ago except less sticky on your skin! Sper cool to actually feel what it was meant to feel like as an adult. lol
Notes from a Texas Caucasian Kid:
Getting Sick==> Whenever we had a cold, mom would feed us Vick's Vaporub ... and we survived! :)
Halloween==> My Great Grand dad would hand out ice cubes.... in Dallas... in October... (eye roll with a smile)
PLastic on furniture- My great grand parents would keep the plastic on their new furniture. I guess that was because they came from poor farm families and lived in the depression.
+AUSRick12 ice cubes hahahaha that's hilarious
ohhh he cute. you hardly see asian guys with facial hair
I bet you like yourself some white boys.
That's rude
that is actually true
he looks like an Asian Nathan Kress
juliet balkian yeah lol
My uncle got Tiger balm on his nuts.
did he force you to lick it off
Wow......wtf is wrong with you? Does your father say yo're the best at French kissing?
"Wtf is wrong with you?"
- The guy who knew that his uncle put tiger balm on his balls.
M Gray His nuts😨😨😨
Sounds painful 😜😝
My grandma told me. His wife is Thai. She had boundary issues...lol
After watching this video, I find that I've gone through my children in a very "non-Asian" way. First of all, I was born and raised in CHINA. I was mainly brought up by my mom because my parents got divorced when I was 5. My mom never compared me with other kids and she was never mad at me when I got home with a failing grade(It happened sometimes). Once I got 101 out of 150 on Math, the lowest in my class was 99, I was so depressed and upset. When I told her, she told me to treat the test out of 100 so that I was 1 point more than the perfect score :D. She does not like wrapping our furniture AT ALL because she says the point to get nice things is to enjoy them not protect them. Now I think about it, I wonder where my mom is actually from....
My grandma was more of the stereotypical "Asian parent" because my parents were more lenient. I never had the "Asian grading system" with my parents but with my grandma. I related to most of the stuff though, especially the herbal medicine and ointment.
Actually I would trade lunch with my Indian friends in 6th grade cuz they wanted something different and I was sick of cafeteria food
haha i wouldve totally traded with you too!
Off the Great Wall BRGssser. FwssxwerF. there
Let us know if we missed anything I'm sure we did :)
I did not decide what you wear your mom did (:
Off the Great Wall Rice Cooker!!!🍚
When you mom has nothing to give but sandwich with some of that pork powder. Urgh hated it so much
Off the Great Wall strict parents how can u miss that we all had strict parents
The two of you should date, Seriously....
I'm a Japanese, but I can SO relate to this... lol! I also actually tried to learn Mandarin, some sounds just require ones tongue to perform gymnastics! Kudos to those that perfect that beautiful language! Though, one year I did give steamed dumplings to trick-or-treaters because we had so many of the taro buns and the kids LOVED them.. lol!
Akiko Fujishima omg that's so awesome I would've definitely came to your house for halloween
You spell very good for a Japanese person!!
Akiko Fujishima
Yunshu Gao me too
being bilingual, i get what you mean! chinese is really hard to learn, but it’s cool that you recognized it!
Im a chinese indonesian and i experienced all those things... OMG
tiger balm = vicks vaporub for us Hispanics haha
For the brazilian too! (I'm Brazilian)
tiger balm all your memories flash before your burning eyes
Walter Filipinos too!
Yup! Pinoys too!

Im not asian but right now feel asian
Exactly! I'm Mexican but I can still relate to most of these.

+haley sterba maybe being Asian is just a state of mind
Lol, we didn't have candy one year, we gave the kids chips from like a year ago. 😂

mom : "WHAT ?! why only that ? so little lah. i dont know you any more. go to your room !
me : "well what was i supose to get ?"
mom : "200% lah ! what a disgrace"
Tiger balm for asian people is just like Vicks Vaporub for spanish people 😂

Love your work. I can relate to this 100%. R u an Australianized Chinese?
+ez2bne1 Felicia is from Australia. Allen is from Murica!
Relate to all of these. I was at work in Connecticut last year and smelled something familiar. I followed my nose and one of my Indian co-workers had a container of Tiger balm on her desk. it brought back memories of my grandmother! But my mom preferred the White Flower oil.
Who is Felicia? Omg, just found out I'm a JUNGLE Asian. All my life, I thought I was a fancy Asian (sob sob) ..... Goodbye cruel world. Add me in wechat Christ872297 ....
+Cissy Kulakowski white flower is awesome too that's what I keep at home next to my bed :) -Allen
I just used it last night to sooth my mosquito bites. ROFLMAO.
omg all of these were so accurate, especially the sunday school xD AND HALLOWEEN AND ROADTRIPS this was actually spot on
Lol, the couch covers and we ALWAYS travelled with coolers of food!! My husband STILL hoards these things. His mom was an immigrant. And my family was dance, gymnastics and my husband instruments.
Cherokees are like this... it was all spicy food & we ate at the benches. Our couch was usually so ugly leather who cared if it was covered, herbs , check.. And the explaining of what yellow paprika is lol
Omg, all the feels. I had ALL of these 😂
the most relatable video ever and i live for tiger balm, tea eggs and packed lunch. i can relate to all the 11 things with absolutely no hesitation
😂I can relate to every single thing. Lol. 😂Geesh. Creeps me out to see them all listed. 😂
my mom is worst, and she isnt even asian. she compares me to other asian girls that she doesnt even know.
OMY I can totally relate to this
YESSS these are SOOOOOOOOO relatable!!!! The hoarding is really bad with my mom lol
THIS IS SO ACCURATE ESPECIALLY THE WRAPPED THINGS...
TIGER BALM!!!!!! , tea egg. raw garlic and chive dumpling. putting one of your feet on the chair when you're sitting at the kitchen table, hugging an knees close to your chest while holding a bowl of rice with the other hand during supper time ( you have to very skinny to do this like squatting for toilets ) . small plastic stool and plastic tub. 25 clip and drip laundry hanger in the bath tub. stacks of shoes/flipflops in the corner of the front door. free chinese grocery calander in the kitchen. the smell of different bean sauce and pickels when you set foot into the kitchen. plastic bowls and garage sale cups. every day stuff made from junk. like dust pan made from a used soy sauce tin gallon container.
I always felt so embarrassed when my mom would put things I need at school in supermarket plastic bags
+Toby Yung when I pack a lunch to this day still you that supermarket plastic bag :D
same.
WHY IS THIS VIDEO SOOOO ACCURATE
holy crap. All of the above ! I need a hug ~
i don't know how but i found that tiger balm in my moroccan grandma's old house ( ●~●)
update : i asked her and she told me she had a korean friend named kona back in the time, and she used to do those chinese needles and stuff to my grandma, and she gave it to her.
wow i never knew my grandma had a korean friend i wish i had a korean friend, i speak a little korean and i know hangul ♡
second point was done everywhere. my parents compaired me too 😂😂. i'm european
So relate to the comparing , the plastics and the grades
I just finished the video and I relate to a LOT of these 😂
I'm asian-european XD
what Asian and what European?
I'm vietnamese and I live in Germany ^^
I'm chinese and live in Germany too xD
yeaaah #germansquad
There are many Vietnamese living in Warschau where Im originally from :)
...I might be asian but I have never gone to a weekend school.
I didn't do that either. Weekends were for extra-curricular activities like joining uniform groups - Red Cross, scouts, bands, musical/drama groups. Half-day schools since schools had 2 sessions, the morning sessions and the afternoon session so by noon those morning session students would have to give way to afternoon sessions (double capacity of students intake). Didn't know of parents comparing results but my academic results were always good without studying for them. Many of the bright students were that way and I was always in best class/best schools. However, I helped a lot in doing households like cleaning house, washed dishes and even simple cooking and others like collecting illegal lotteries, etc since we were very poor then. So, I really fumbled and stumbled my way through education in the sense that I never worked for it but able to graduate from the university and in those days, 3% of the population could get into local university (only 1 in Singapore - NUS). Those who could not qualify for local U usually performed very well in (overseas) universities in US, Australia and UK.
SAME
chancelikesdrawing I have for Mandarin.
Let's just say I didn't do very well on it.
I wasn't sure about Halloween in Australia... Now I know it's a thing. Thanks!
So Relatable!
I relate to everything except the weird animal soup, I'm not even Asian I'm Mexican XD
I hate getting compared... sadly that's my life...
Same
I can relate to almost everything on this list!!
This Video Is So relatable....
For me a lot of the time I bring home candy my mom and sister eat it all
Brook Hakanson my younger sisters steal my stuff a lot including candy
And what is Wrong with Mandarin???? I Love their Oranges. XD
I'm not asian, but I relate to a lot of those. You pretty much described my grandmother's house and actions hehe. Ah the memories!
Totally relatable :)
Ya
My entire family does that hoarding... And were all Caucasian
Some of these are soooo true! The plastic bag in the kitchen that holds other plastic bags for whenever, school lunch being..."different", our Asian grandmas "medicinal" concoctions, wrapping the furniture or covering it etc. 哈哈哈 good times good times. 😂
What about the better things growing up like bubble tea and 面包 ( can't remember if that's right) , it wasn't all that bad.😁
This couldn't be more true!
I'm Indonesian Chinese but as my father was from China, all applied. As for Tiger Balm, it is used more often in Singapore.
I am not Asian, but as a Jewish and as Latino person I can totally relate to a couple of those....for example weekend school was for learning Hebrew, are holiday that we hated was Christmas, the hoarding HUGE! so you know stuff like that! The medicine, every time I was sick my mother would give me this weird tasting medicine in a bottle and force me to sallow it! we didn't wrap in anything in plastic, but my dad would only buy used things because he came from a poor family! and my mother would only make thing because she was from Colombia!
christmas was a time for me and my Jewish friends to go watch a movie and have chinese food because those were the only things open hehe
my dad, would always joke about going out to Asian Restuants around that time, but sadly in my home town everything was closed including all the Asian stores so I never had that, but going to a Chinese Restauant on Christmas is a joke in the Jewish Community and I remember even the surpreme count justice said that during her congress interview when a senator ask what your doing for Christmas...you should really do about Jews and Chinese I would love to watch people don't actually realize how much we have in common! I perosnally love that joke!
at my dad's house watching TV was pretty much all we did because in Eugene, Oregon nothing is open on Christmas, my mother did try to get my dad to do Christmas but he would a fake tree and then sit and watch TV....he hated Christmas, my birthday is 5 day before christmas so one would around to celebrate with so I hated the holiday growing up for that reason!! now it is more like you can't find any jewish stuff for Hannukah but you can everything for Christmas!!
So interesting! Ty
the first one though, NOOOOOOO!! I HAVE SATURDAY SCHOOL!!!!!!
