I wish they would have had you speak Chinese the entire time with a bunch of people speaking Chinese and then they try and find out. Your English speaking voice stands out a lot for this kind of thing.
@@shyper_same im well acquainted with hearing korean speaking voices on an almost daily basis but i never studied it but i myself could tell his korean had a strong english accent
I’m a bit older generation Chinese American, and from my experience, I would say Xiaoma’s accent when speaking Mandarin would seem kind of rare for Chinese-Americans. It has quite a strong Beijing regional tone to it, which implies someone who actually grew up in that part of China or someone who learned Chinese as an adult from someone from there. From what I’ve heard, Chinese-Americans who speak Mandarin tend to have more of flatter standard accent, unless they’re joking around or speaking with close family, which becomes like a dialect. Of course it could also depend if they immigrated to the US, and if so at what age, and how or where they learned/studied Mandarin.
He definitely went wrong by choosing to say he was Chinese-American raised in the US. He should have at least said that he went to college in Beijing or something because, you're right, he has a clear regional accent.
ABCs tend to lose the more flavorful regional ‘flourishes’ for some reason. 😂 Equally telling was his English accent - very white as Caleb says. Asian-American English accents are just slightly different (can’t quite put my finger on it, it’s very subtle - like one layer under what may be a Brooklyn accent, or some other thick regional American accent, there’s sometimes/often? an Asian-American tonality).
It isn't really an Asian thing per se, but I notice a lot of Asian Americans and Canadians have a subtle "west coast" English dialect. I think just because they live disproportionately on the west coast and British Columbia. The west coast of North America doesn't have a strong accent, but if you listen carefully you can notice.@@user-jk5um1om8l
his English accent is the giveaway. It's so white. Its the accent of someone who grew up around family with the same accent. Everyone else had softer English accents, which indicate growing up in households that may have had differing accents.
I don’t get how an American accent is “sounding white” when literally all of us that were born in and grew up in America have an American accent. Like even black Africans will tell black Americans that we have an American accent.
I swear your type of content is not normally something I would watch. Yet I always occassionally go back to watch you throughout the years. This was a fun video!
@@Lemonade_Stand_ No he’s not. That is part of the appeal of the channel. The allure of someone speaking languages and learning them quickly. I watched him speak Tagalog/Filipino as he “learned” it quickly and most of what he says are basic sayings you can memorize. Also, the pronunciation of the words in Tagalog was atrocious but the Filipino people obviously will be nice because he is white and white people speaking Asian languages fascinates people. Everything he says is always about eating, learning, saying a “little”, and simple chit chat norms like, “What taste good” or “How much does it cost” or “I want to visit.” He never says things that stray from common phrases.
Hi Xiaoma. Just want to say I enjoyed the video. You don't need to worry about your "existential threat", you speak and sound really good so there's absolutely nothing to worry about. As you know, tiny nuances in accents are actually very normal in every language. Even the "American" accent came from a combination of people who brought it to America, and then evolved in America itself too, it's not even one "accent" depending on where you are in America! TBH, your accent is great for a northerner, and I actually got you on your choice of words when you talked about the cilantro!
The brown girl at 3:25 is actually speaking a South Indian language called Kannada, surprised to hear it out of the blue on your channel haha! If anyone was wondering what she said : "I learnt to swim as a kid, but as I got older, I gradually forgot how to."
@@AndyTaken In India city kids typically don't learn to swim in their very early years, it often happens a bit later through actual lessons from teachers, and I'm guessing swimming wasn't yet second nature to her and lack of practice or opportunities to take a dive can affect something you 'learnt'. I've heard this exact same thing from multiple people here, I find it weird too that someone can forget such a thing but alas, it seems to be the case!
I think Xiao needs to practice speaking in English with a Chinese accent. Many people when you hear speak in English and you can still hone in on their native language. You can just tell. Xiao's American English was just so good that it really kinda countered his Chinese being so good and authentic sounding imo.
I agree, but our American culture is really stupid and people are afraid to do that. Learning to speak like a foreigner in their accent is one of the best ways to learn how to interpret English as a 2nd language. I learned to speak English like a Japanese person, and it's much easier to understand them. You're learning which substitutions they're making due to the limits of their language. English has limits too, like we do not roll r's. Being afraid of offending people has crippled us in many ways. You can bet no foreigner is going to be afraid to try to mimic us. That is a huge advantage.
Nah, he definitely has that "Korean than hangs out with a lot of urban people" mixed with "white guy named Caleb" voice. Sounds like he has a white influence on him, for sure, but I could hear the Asian parents in his voice. Hands down the most Korean people he's been around, minus his family, was watching Tokyo Drift or K-Dramas. Arieh straight up sounds like Miracle Whip being spread on Wonder Bread when he's speaking English.
Brother I am an Indigenous Australian, if you can learn a tribal language or even get the accent, I would applaud you. I grew up with it and still get stumped by Elders and more Community Mob. We mostly speak english but the accent makes it sound unrecognizable.
My Japanese mother tells me that wearing shoes in the house caused other problems besides tracking in the outside filth. Traditional Japanese houses used (and still use) Tatami mats as floor coverings, and if you walked on them with hard shoes (like Geta), the reeds would break in the mat and you would be left with sharp ends that poked you in the butt when you sat on the mat. This necessitated the early replacement of the mat before it was actually worn out. So, it was seen as not only unsanitary, but very wasteful.
It’s good that you’re humble but you deserve to feel happy and confident and comfortable. You’ve done amazing things and you’re a fantastic guy on top of being among the better humans in the world. I hope you get more comfortable and find a lot of happiness on your journey.
That's AMAZING! I'm so glad you had such fun on a game show especially one that seemed to be made to find Xiaoman LOL! I'm happy you had fun doing the show. I was on a game show many years ago called Trivial Pursuit America Plays and I was Team America. I'm not an actor so having so many cameras around me and people telling where to stand, how to stand, how to speak was quite the experience. The man who hosted the show was the actor who played Greg Brady from "The Brady Bunch" Barry Williams. I never actually met him I was just recruited in a mall in NJ for the show and I had trivia questions. One of them made the show and because the contestants didn't know the answer Team America won that episode and I was paid $600 USD for a question about crochet. I watched the show religiously when it aired until my episode aired and I recorded it and saved it because I wanted to freak my brother out seeing my face on tv on a game show. It was so great! Unfortunately I was not able to get that episode from the network. I had the money to buy it but there was so much red tape back in the early 2000's and that show was cancelled so sadly I can't get that episode. I can say it was so much fun to film it because I was asked what questions do you think ppl can't answer and I had many. It came down to a very specific question about stitching in crochet that is very different from knitting and while the contestant was close he didn't say crochet. I purposely chose crochet because it's a lost art and while knitting and crochet can look similar and even have similar names for stitches, they are not the same having known how to do both. But yes being on a game show is fucking fun!
Good job on jubilee! As a Chinese American who’s spent over a decade in China, a few things from the video gave away your non-Asianness: 1. When you said “Pocky”; the ultimate goal for an Asian American is to make your parents proud; 2. Favorite part of your culture is almost always food; the thing you said about China resonates more with mainland Chinese; 3. Chinese Americans tend to watch more k-pop, c-pop/k-drama, c-drama than Bollywood. Because I can speak fluent Chinese and Cantonese, it’d be much easier for me to tell that you are the mole. Your Chinese is excellent but it does have a tinge of an accent (reminds me of an enthusiastic language learner).
That was the absolute cutest. I normally don’t watch channels like that. But being a subscriber to your channel, watching your commentary on this was just precious. I smiled through the whole thing. Thanks for sharing Arieh. 😆🙏🏼👍🏼
Just want to say I’m a fan of your channel and you’re living proof that when people take time to understand one another they appreciate each other. Of all the divisive things being produced and shoved in our faces, your videos are one of the few things that show our kindness as humans. Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s beautiful to watch
Hey Xiaoman,just wanted to say I really appreciate and enjoy your videos. Because of you I’ve also started to learn Japanese and seeing the connections you make with others in diff languages is really motivating 👍🏼
How cool. I'm a subscriber now. What fun. I speak a little bit of Spanish, German, French and Norwegian. Just enough to get them all confused. I'm concentrating on learning Spanish now and will get to the others later.
Very cool, thank you for sharing. Glad you waited to watch it. Watching it with you for the first time and seeing your genuine reactions to it was great. Thanks again!
You're meant for this YT stuff. I've watched several of your language vids/ordering in xyz/etc. Never seen a reaction type watch along vid from you, and you did a great job. Too often, people feel the need to put way more of their own commentary in than necessary. You did a good job of letting the vid play and doing quick pauses with inside information. Well done
😭 The video ended so quickly! I was hoping for behind-the-scenes. Well done on making it through two rounds. I've seen some of Jubilee's imposter videos before and it always seems so nervewracking. You did great under pressure.
That's not a "white" way to pronounce; it is more likely regional dialect. I'm white and nobody where I'm from pronounces cilantro like that. In fact, that's the first time I've ever heard it pronounced that way, so it may just be him.
@@Hamburgers4Haiti He 100% pronounced it a distinctly white American way, Cilantro is literally "Coriander" in Italian so the correct way to say it is phonetically which he did not do
@@IllusionQueen4Eva Si-lahn-troh, cilantro is literally just "Coriander" in Italian so you say it phonetically but Americans use it to differentiate coriander leaves from coriander seeds
now THIS is how you do reacts. so great to see your live reactions, since you hadnt seen it. I'd be exactly the same with all the cringing I'd do too if I was in a video like this lol
Tbf, a lot of asian cultures seem to be very brand orientated. I don't like brand stuff cause I think it's dumb, its like walking advertisement, but when I was younger, my mother would constantly buy me brand names like it's to show we can afford it? Or like represents some kind of stature? (as a Korean)
You're honestly the best man... You take the full cringe of the creative process and tear down these cultural walls we put up against each other. Honestly there's all this I'm going to call it injustice and unfair treatment based on race and what have you. You put your full vulnerability on display and allow tge stripped down nature of a person's true thoughts and feelings. I know Jubilee is all about shock value but honestly your videos create such a feeling of connection and inspiration to want to get closer to our roots.
Heh, Here in Hawaii we have Asian-Americans who are fifth and sixth generation. They're about as connected to their ancestral culture as white Americans are with their European ancestors. In short, basically holidays, food and sometimes religion.
It was fun to watch you on Jubilee, Arieh. I'm glad you managed to survive past the first round, and hearing the noises you make while reacting to yourself are hilarious.
So cool, man. I grew bilingual, but it took me a long time before appreciating the ability to know multiple languages. I wish I knew people like you in my younger years, but I will certainly pass this on to my kids.
I love watching the jubilee mile videos. They’re always so interesting. Glad you had a chance to involve yourself with that from the inside. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!❤❤❤
Love it. Your videos are cool seeing peoples reactions of your well spoken Chinese. I get that when I speak Spanish people start to speak and I have to reveal “hey I only speak a little.” lol love it
@Xiaomanyc have you looked into learning an Australian Indigenous language? If you do, Kaurna is a good choose. A local indigenous man has really made a great effort into learning & teaching the indigenous language in the community here in Adelaide. I'm starting to learn it myself.
your reaction to your own cringe is the best content, people these days are afraid to show any negative side of themselves. Just shows pure authenticity
Whoah man I remember watching your channel a lot when you were strolling through Chinatown, can't believe how far you have come in channel growth and also linguistic progress. Your work on Navajo shows you're a true theorist and student. Come to Edison and get some thali and hot pot, you could get a lot of material by exploring the little pockets alongside the big cities. Still, this video is a pretty awesome culmination of how well you've grown into the Asian American community! You're a TH-cam Asian, you made it lol. I was definitely smirking and squeaking at the nerve-wracking moments alongside. Keep up the good work!

Exactly!! Cilaaaaaaantro. I thought for sure he would get voted off for that reason alone.
That's not a "white" way to pronounce; it is more likely regional dialect. I'm white and nobody where I'm from pronounces cilantro like that. In fact, that's the first time I've ever heard it pronounced that way, so it may just be him.
...All this time I thought that's the way you're supposed to pronounce it... And I'm Asian living in North America...
@@Hamburgers4Haiti He 100% pronounced it a distinctly white American way, Cilantro is literally "Coriander" in Italian so the correct way to say it is phonetically which he did not do
@@IllusionQueen4Eva Si-lahn-troh, cilantro is literally just "Coriander" in Italian so you say it phonetically but Americans use it to differentiate coriander leaves from coriander seeds
We need more of you reacting to you bc it’s hilarious
now THIS is how you do reacts. so great to see your live reactions, since you hadnt seen it. I'd be exactly the same with all the cringing I'd do too if I was in a video like this lol
I absolutely love your videos. They are so much fun and inspiring! Thank you, Xiaoma!!
Xiaoma one of thsoe youtubers i forget about for 2 years and then binge 2 years worth of vids in a week, only for the cycle to begin again
“Bro sounded white.”
How? Why?
I’m Asian, and I hate brand names.
Tbf, a lot of asian cultures seem to be very brand orientated. I don't like brand stuff cause I think it's dumb, its like walking advertisement, but when I was younger, my mother would constantly buy me brand names like it's to show we can afford it? Or like represents some kind of stature? (as a Korean)
I believe its apart of the college stereotype that foreign exchange students only wear name brand.
He does sound real white. Caleb does too though. And the whole point of that game show is to talk about “brand names.”
He sounds white is a bad way to say it but his Chinese has an English speaker accent. I'm assuming that's what they meant.
Probably because a bunch of them were Californian or something. I dunno.
You're honestly the best man... You take the full cringe of the creative process and tear down these cultural walls we put up against each other. Honestly there's all this I'm going to call it injustice and unfair treatment based on race and what have you.
You put your full vulnerability on display and allow tge stripped down nature of a person's true thoughts and feelings. I know Jubilee is all about shock value but honestly your videos create such a feeling of connection and inspiration to want to get closer to our roots.
So true!! ❤
Watching you react back to this video was very wholesome and entertaining lol
This is such an ‘old man’ comment but I wanted to use the ‘P’ word! Proud you are using your talent and interest in language to share with others! 👍🏼
5:09 your face here is priceless lol
Heh, Here in Hawaii we have Asian-Americans who are fifth and sixth generation. They're about as connected to their ancestral culture as white Americans are with their European ancestors. In short, basically holidays, food and sometimes religion.
yeah i am one of those, but i feel like if you really listen you can tell if they are asian, and def not white even if they don’t speak pidgin
It was fun to watch you on Jubilee, Arieh. I'm glad you managed to survive past the first round, and hearing the noises you make while reacting to yourself are hilarious.
This was a really enjoyable watch. You've got yourself a new subscriber, sir!
Ok, you screaming as soon as you speak in the video because cringe is me watching every video of myself ever 😄
All the girls have the shocked Pikachu face when they finally found out!
You are the one who inspired me to learn languages! Thank you for being so amazing!
So cool, man. I grew bilingual, but it took me a long time before appreciating the ability to know multiple languages. I wish I knew people like you in my younger years, but I will certainly pass this on to my kids.
That was one of my favourite videos that you have done. 😁 I loved the way you cringed at various times in the video. 😂
Sis got the space marine pauldrons
Ultramarine massive
You should have started speaking all their languages at the end
Caleb's like "SEE, SEE, I TOLD YOU I'M NOT CRAZY!!!!!"
I love watching the jubilee mile videos. They’re always so interesting. Glad you had a chance to involve yourself with that from the inside. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!❤❤❤
How fun! I've seen these shows before, but it was cool to see it from your perspective.
I mention your videos to Chinese students in my city and they always know what I’m talking about. Keep doing your thing. Great video.
I started learning mandarin because of you, I briefly discontinued but watching you again makes me want to start learning again❤
This was a super fun episode! You've definitely inspired me to pick my Spanish back up and to also start learning Haitian Creole.
Totalmente, deberías retomar el español ^^
get ma maun!!
Good fun! Kevin you're terrific. Keep up the fun!
That was awesome!!!❤
Kevin is very typical Asian American name. Got Hmong cousins named Kevin, Chinese and Vietnamese Kevin’s 😂
ALL Kevin's Unite lol.
I am Hmong and also have a cousin named Kevin too. 😆
my lil bro is named kevin
but we're asian british
I know only 2 vietnamese people and one is kevin
i think 40% of asian americans i know are named kevin
0:46 "And I'm white!!!" X-D
XIOMA THIS IS SO COOOOL PLEASE DO MOREEEEE
Love it. Your videos are cool seeing peoples reactions of your well spoken Chinese. I get that when I speak Spanish people start to speak and I have to reveal “hey I only speak a little.” lol love it
Yo so have to do more of these, this was so entertaining to watch! :)
This was super funny and your reactions were absolutely priceless and ADORABLE!
Finally, a decent Jubilee video
SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS ! Hope you had fun dear.
I love what you do and your channel. Talk about bridging the gap between two continents, two cultures.
I vote you to be the US ambassador to China!
I think your pronunciation of cilantro was the giveaway.
6:47 10000+++ social credit
bro gave the CCP answer
Awwww this was so wholesome.. I kept smiling the whole video 😊
@Xiaomanyc have you looked into learning an Australian Indigenous language? If you do, Kaurna is a good choose. A local indigenous man has really made a great effort into learning & teaching the indigenous language in the community here in Adelaide. I'm starting to learn it myself.
Very hard bro 😭 i live in wurundjeri melbourne and i have no clue what even hello means
your reaction to your own cringe is the best content, people these days are afraid to show any negative side of themselves. Just shows pure authenticity
That was AWESOME!!!!😊
GREAT JOB BROTHA🤙
You did a great job on the show. Watching you squirm was hilarious 😂
I think your language skills are amazing. I’ve been watching you since the beginning and you always amaze me!
Whoah man I remember watching your channel a lot when you were strolling through Chinatown, can't believe how far you have come in channel growth and also linguistic progress. Your work on Navajo shows you're a true theorist and student. Come to Edison and get some thali and hot pot, you could get a lot of material by exploring the little pockets alongside the big cities.
Still, this video is a pretty awesome culmination of how well you've grown into the Asian American community! You're a TH-cam Asian, you made it lol. I was definitely smirking and squeaking at the nerve-wracking moments alongside. Keep up the good work!
Cool. Really enjoyed watching you on this, Puppy, your expressions are so honest.
why are you calling him puppy
@@myhlosic his Chinese name means puppy dog
xiaoma doing sidequests at this point
i did not expect seeing azali here
(good musik btw)
It’s the like subscribe hit that bell guy!!!!!
This was so fun to watch! Thanks for sharing your reactions to it. The cringe you did when you said "and I'm white" was hilarious!
00:57 You say "will they find the mole? ...I don't know" like you WERENT THERE lmao
@7:39 Lyanne in this clip sounds very American. The inflection, the use of "and I'm like..."
THIS IS GENIUS !! LOVED THE VIDEO !!
Dude this was fun to watch. It was smart to try and head fake with the stereotypes. Smart! Well done my friend.
Stay awesome, Xiaoma!
I never would have guessed you’d be on Jubilee, how fun to watch
