It's interesting how much information you are giving out just by walking down the street. And it's equally interesting that when you actually talk to them, they sometimes completely defy your assumptions.
But if you want to show off your Japanese skills when I approach you in the street, you have to learn Japanese. And if you want to learn Japanese with me, I can send you some Japanese lessons where I teach you the kind of Japanese that Japanese people actually speak. Click here and subscribe bit.ly/38t6emp
Oh Yuta, too many assumptions...where to start?...I am Scandinavian married to 2nd generation Japanese Canadian. My husband understsnds about 100 words, and I can speak a bit more than he in Japanese, you would assume the other way around, but not the case!- oh ,and as to how Jack looks....my daughter looks Filipina and my son looks northern European. So married to white is no guarantee now those kids will look😉
@yuta i think that the italian man (7:22) who speaks japanese is this italian youtuber

You should start doing react videos like this one for your most popular videos and/or your favorite videos
Me when starting to wtach Yuta: eh, another self-advertisment segment
Me after sticking around for a while: say the line Yuta!
Yuta: (...) but if you want to speak japanese like the real Japanese people (...)
Me: YAY
I get the same feel
In my mind I'm like "Bart say the line"

Samurai Jack. Got to get back back to the past Samurai Jack Jack Jack Jack. But seriously Jack had a flash back about a little girl he met when he was much younger.

18:44 I find it so cute that Yuta is waving back.
Honestly, during my time stationed in Japan we had to go through a kind of 'New person in Japan' briefing. They did teach some basic phrases in Japanese including "I don't understand/speak Japanese" that might be where that one woman you spoke of learned it.
I was so happy that Yuta actually knew about Georgia :D and even has been here :') This made my day and you actually remembered the name of Khinkali 👏🏻, lots of love from Georgia 🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪 come visit us again :D you're always welcome! ❤️❤️❤️
თურმე, ძალიან გაგიხადა. :)
I find it funny and interesting how Yuta even gives a deep analyze of the egg taste hahaha xD so nice!
Yuta, you never know with genetics, your kid could end up looking as white as Jack! Look up the actor Darren Criss and then search for a picture of him with his family (his mom, his dad and his brother). Darren looks exactly as his late father who was white and his brother looks like his mother who is Filipina. It pretty hard to tell Darren is half asian!
Hapas for some reason can either look very Asian or very “white”. For whatever reason, people that are half tend to look more like their father (if their dad is white they’ll look more white, if Asian they’ll look Asian). That’s just what I’ve observed
@Shashou 😅 Je connais Louis-San, il a beaucoup plus de traits asiatiques que Darren!
Or there might exist some other "non-genetic" factors explaining why a kid may not look like his father :-D
Wow, I just looked him up! He's the most male model white looking guy!
omg yes, I love Darren Criss! Starkid forever!!!
That was probably my favourite social experiment from you also found it last week. Lots of laugh, lots of variety and I like the child perspective from Jack and his father.
I really like the way you intertwine the advertising for your Japanese teaching course in your videos, makes me smile every time :)
being black in japan must be like *does street interview* *does street interview* *does street interview*
To be fair his face does look Asian. I bet he does get a lot of worse harassment though, hapas/half-Japanese are not treated fairly in Japan unfortunately.
@@numero9 If you're referring to the guy @ 11:53, he looks pretty black even though he may be mixed. Even from other clips he's been featured in a lot of people have even said he looks like Will Smith the actor. And I agree.
@@rsuriyop
I've seen that dude a lot
@@rsuriyop . He does not llok like will smith to
Just because the man is black doesn't mean he looks like will smith loool
Wow, I find this video very informative; I've been studying Japanese for a time now, and never thought to consider the mannerisms (walking, facial expressions) of a person in such social situations. Very nice, Yuta!
Since it seems like you've traveled to many countries, it'd be interesting to hear more of your stories and experiences that you've had while traveling abroad😊 (if you haven't already made a video like that)
Yuta please keep on doing this kind of experiments more, i never get bored of it!
Experiments are in the Japanese blood
Would love to see you do this type of video again with Jack! Was awesome seeing all of the different interactions you guys experienced.
Yuta, I suggest that you look at fellow TH-camr Micaela, a Canadian living in Japan for many years, who lives in Fukuoka and just released a video speaking all Japanese. I wonder how you would critique her level of Japanese. This would be interesting as a collaboration, or just a review .
I’ve followed you for many years but missed this video when I came out. I’m from Chicago and grew up most my life there. There are many Japanese grocery stores in Chicago and the Chicagoland area. The most famous in Chicago is one on Lawrence near Clark which was owned by one of the “Tokyo Roses”. She was pardoned by Carter and set up the store. I lived close and went to it often. The other famous Japanese grocery store is in a suburb (I believe it’s Niles). It’s is absolutely huge. It’s bigger than some supermarkets.
I loved seeing this again and getting your analysis, Yuta.
イギリスと日本のハーフの大分県育ちだけど初めて近くのコンビニスタッフに「日本人ですか？」と聞かれたのが嬉しかったのもなんかおかしかった。イギリスのハーフなのに大分の方弁聞こえてたのかなと。
I don't look Japanese and pretty much every Japanese assumes I am American. Jack's comments are cute lol.
@@untseac イギリス is England
Japanese is difficult for non speakers. I am half British Japanese with a particular Japanese dialect. I always was questioned if I were American, but I was asked from a covenience store staff from my home prefecture if I was Japanese for the first time and my only time which I kind of found funny. Most Japanese would find white people American people,
@@untseac Maybe you can check out Yuuta. I am not great at teaching Japanese. I do speak the Tokyo language but I do have a very strong dialect. And I am not a great teacher.
@@untseac But keep up the good work. I have memorised morse code and still am.
Next step: "Japanese reacts to 'Japanese Reacts to Do 'Foreigners' in Tokyo Speak Japanese? (Social Experiment)'"
Not all cows can be milked xD
Yuta, I think the reason they thought Jack was your son was because some (some not most) Japanese people produce Halfu kids that do not look asian at all (Especially if the parents were born with more stereotypical non-asian features).
Speaking personally, in college, I met a Japanese girl from Japan who had redish brown hair right down to the roots. Even her eyebrows were red. And I know it wasn't died because I saw her over multiple weeks and her hair's roots were never any color other than red.
Other than the hair (and maybe her facial structure might have looked a little different), she looked like any other Asian person, but I don't know if she was halfu or just had distant European Ancestry though.
That Japanese grocery store the blonde lady mentioned is likely Mitsuwa :D It is a robust hub of shops containing a grocery store, a bakery, bookstore, a couple of sweet shops, a diverse food court, a travel agency, a makeup shop, a video rental store, and a hair salon!
I would absolutely love PART 2 of this video!
Whenever I go to Shibuya (next to never), I'm constantly looking for Yuta to see if he's doing a video that I can get into. 🤣
Loved the commentary on this video.
actually There are alot of foreigner speak Japanese well in Japan ! that's awesome 🤩🤩🤩 I think learning Japanese from scratch must be not easy than learning English
"I don't speak Japanese" is the first Japanese phrase I learned.
just came from a video of him teaching and omg THANK YOU FOR THAT I was saying weird this and I did not know I was
Took me a while to notice that you're reacting to your own video haha
That video was one of the first videos I watched from your channel
fun video. i often think about how i would do when approached like this. ive been to japan once for 6 weeks and im only a beginner and thus pretty bad, but i can reply to some basic things. i get nervous though. same thing when i speak to other people in english, especially when i assume them to be native speakers. my thoughts go faster than my mouth can form words then and it sometimes causes issues and nervousness xD (english also isnt my first language). Also i am a perfectionist so i dont really allow myself to make mistakes, even though i know it comes with the territory. Heck, i know no one who doesnt mess up in their own language pretty much daily.
would have been interesting to run into you for this experiment haha.
I know exactly what you mean. My German is good enough that I rarely need subtitles in English (though German ones are insanely helpful), but if I had to talk, I'd be tongue tied. Actually, subtitles in the same language as the media you're watching instead of your native language are an awesome learning tool for hearing comprehension and grammar. And I formally invite you to speak English with all the mistakes. Anyone who's going to give you crap for your mistakes is a jerk in any language. And your writing is spot on, no worries.
Can't wait for Yuuta to react to this video in a few years
I know Chicago is a big city with lots of people, but its sort of refreshing hearing someone with a Chicago-type/Midwesternish accent after browsing the internet with voices of people outside of my area for so long
the Italian guy sounded pretty fluent, well done to him 🇮🇹
This is all so true! I was an English teacher in Japan for 3 years in Shiga and I think gave off that English teacher in Japan vibe 😅
Wait. Isn't this your video?
Amazing 🤣
I'm sorry. But did Yuta just react to his own damn video?
Lol yes I think that’s what we just watched. I still enjoyed it
No you did
Peak content
Yuta is taking it to the next level
what a unit hahah
you convinced me to start learning japanese!! 幸運を祈ります ~
I used to live in Japan and was approached by people with cameras at least 2 or 3 times a year. I always pretended not to speak Japanese, because non-Japanese people are so often made fun of on TV over there. I didn't want to see myself on some evening show with manga style subtitles under my face saying "そ~う~です~ね~!!!" It's super embarrassing for my friends that went through it, and would be considered super racist if it happened to a Japanese person in a western country.
I'm not saying this WOULD happen, or that it happens to everyone, but it is a real fear for some foreigners, and so we avoid the media.
I remember that video like it was uploaded yesterday
I like how the italian guy was speaking friendly informal italian but polite japanese
You kind of do this already, but I wanted to mention this technique if someone reacts negatively to your question. You could always play off a question where they didn't react positively with another stereotypical question really quickly to get them off that first subject. Like "we're seeing how foreigners are making it out in Japan?" - sometimes it may break the ice and get them talking on the original question too. I learned this from my mom in the southern part of the US btw.. she always says if its a tough topic then "end it with a smile" which means (say what you want but then spin the topic away from the tough conversation and quickly move to positive easy conversation and you'll get better results on your initial topic). hopefully i don't sound crazy here lol but it works well when people react negatively in any way and just in general it works well in America to diffuse conversations or questions. Just wanted to impart some advice. Love the videos. Thank you!
Pls yes! Do it again ♥ It's so funny to see their reactions xD Thanks for the video ♥
Nice one Yuta! Very interesting and so amusing how people reacts, I speak a little japanese but somehow I managed to be better on listening skills as I am working on a japanese company, but yeah I’m asian so If I will be likely interviewed like this (which mostly won’t happen as my asian features shouting out loud) yeah, I probably say I don’t speak japanese 😁
This video was very interesting Yuta. Very informative.
14:11 Funny reactions when people don't speak the language you're speaking at that time :P
Once in school, I spoke Dutch to a Romanian guy in my project group. I didn't even notice I spoke Dutch. I know he only speaks Romanian and English, so I'd normally just speak English whenever he's around.
*Funny though: I did get my point across, even though he has no clue what 99% of the individual words meant* :P
I only noticed I was speaking Dutch when I was done and he said: "Sounds good, though you went in Dutch, so I have no clue what you were saying. You sounded confident it'll all work out, so never mind what you were saying; I'll leave it to you"
I love this video but I also just love language in general, and I think a lot of people just memorize the phrase "I can't speak" in the language that they'll be approached with just to make sure the person understands, or at least I did - and thank you for saying that Chinese and Japanese can sometimes be difficult to differentiate, my brain can't help me with that, but I also have trouble with German vs English and others, except in America a person is racist for this problem
Yuta, I love your channel. If I ever go to Japan, I'd love to run into you if you were making a video like this one. Unfortunately, I can't speak Japanese. 😅
This video is very meta and fun to watch the interesting interactions.
About the eggs, there is a video about that in Ryotaro's Japan channel. It was the latest one so it's easy to find.
In America, most places that sell sushi have an item just labelled "tamago" which is not just egg; I never knew it just meant egg. The man in the video probably also thought it meant that specific food.
Thank you for teaching me that.
Absolutely love your videos.
♥
That guy who said eggs was probably talking about onsen tamago or tamagoyaki, both style of eggs that are very unique to japanese food
7:35 That European dude was killing it!
4:20 So, tip for not just English learners but even native speakers.
Saying "partner" is a viable alternative to "boyfriend or girlfriend" and is shorter.
It makes sense and is just an easier to follow statement when you don't need to specify who is what.
I’m in my mid 30s, professional, been living together with my partner for 10 years. My man is nearly 40. Marriage or kids are not for us so we can’t use husband or wife terms. Calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend in an adult/serious or professional setting is kinda weird. Partner sounds better.
@@MeowMeow202 Sorry, I'm not following something.
Why can't you use "husband or wife terms" just because you do not have kids?
Am I missing something?
But you do make a good point that partner does also sound more professional.
@@TheGreatBackUpVIDEOS They said kids and also marriage are not for them, that's why they won't be using husband/wife terms. Also, partner has 2 syllables just like boyfriend/girlfriend so I'd say it's not shorter, just sounds better when people get older as calling a 50 year old person your boyfriend/girlfriend sounds a little out of place as opposed to partner.
15:05 I like how the Australians has an Outback Steakhouse in the background. Yeah I know Aussies, it's not Australian but just like Foster's they market it like it's from Australia heavily here in America.
Your videos make me smile :)
I've never thought about eggs like this before. I just pick a pack from the shelf, paying no heed to its 'quality'. I eat them both raw and cooked, and I've never had a bad egg before.
Japanese eggs are, in fact, superior! In general they're larger, sometimes reddish, and more rich. I remember I went to this ryokan in Yamagata and they had a buffet style breakfast. Two things that still make my mouth water to this day, are the gyudon (I had two heaping bowls w/rice 😅), and the fried eggs. BEST. EGGS. OF. MY. LIFE!!!
I only know of about 2 good egg brands where I live. I can see the reason for the praise at least.
that's the thing about "tourist", it feels weird to say "i'm a tourist" when i was just visiting my friends and mostly just chilling at their house and barely doing anything touristy at all lol. i always wondered if there needs to be a different word for people who are visting friends in a foreign country, coz saying "i'm a tourist" felt like i was lying lol
"i'm a tourist!"
"cool! what places did you go to?"
"um. my friend's house."
"where else?"
".... my friend's friend's house."
"uh. did you go anywhere else?"
".... the konbini near my friend's house..."
"... do you live here?"
" i am a tourist."
hm.
(i mean, this time, i do live here lol but previous times... hahaa)
They're legally tourists. Otherwise we're all earth's habitants
lol Reminded me of when I went to Japan to visit my relative, but the consulate asked me to write out a whole bunch of "place I would visit" like a touring trip, but in reality that I was just hanging out in the house most of the time.
you're just a bad tourist
To your point about visiting other countries, I've lived in the USA half my life but almost every week someone hears my accent and gives me a story of some random person they know in the UK and have I heard of whatever city or town they're from? I'm polite of course, but culturally I feel much more American than British these days! Still, it's a good icebreaker I guess.
It's strange that you said adults can learn languages faster due to drawing on their current language experience because I've always heard that it's exponentially harder if you wait until your 20s or 30s because children are able to passively absorb more information when taught at a young age. The earlier you start the faster things come is what I always heard, but I supposed it depends on your study type. It does take years for children to learn and years as an adult with proper studying may yield similar results. I think people may often disregard the time it actually takes children to learn and don't apply to same time to adults despite us learning our own language for 12 years and sometimes into college and some of us still don't know how to use it lol
I took German for 4 years and definitely did not have the language skills of a 4 year old. Not even remotely close. Part of the problem is that no one teaches language to an adult like they do to a child. What use is it for me to know all seven gender forms of every blasted verb if I can't order off a menu or ask for directions? We don't expect that of a child, we just teach them words and let them extrapolate the grammar. If we taught adults by giving them a basic grammatical form (SVO) and then taught them words, we'd get a lot farther a lot faster.
@@adde9506 "Took German for 4 years." What did you think was gonna happen? Did you actually believe 3 hours a week of University courses for 4 years is equivalent in any way to ACTUAL language exposure and input, let alone to a child? It's common fact that college courses DO NOT teach you real language, all they do is teach you grammar, basic common words, and phrases that nobody uses. All that for 3-4 hours a week is not gonna do jack with your language ability. The ONLY way to learn a language is simply through immersion/input, and being able to imitate what you hear.
I really need someone to make the Egg Spectrum now. As a really nice chart. From Yucky to Yummy.
Love this.
It would be interesting to see Yuta reacting to Dogen's videos.
I’d love to see that
Thanks for the egg informations yuta.
lmao "Yeah, I like eggs too." "Oh shit he speaks English" in the span of like three seconds.
I was today years old when I learned Jack wasn't Yuta's kid :|... sorry for the assumption

He is active as a top physique competitor in Japan,and also he is one of my favorite player. No one can’t notice him by his appearance ,everyone would recognize him after saying sth.
What is a physique competitor? Is it like a body builder or fitness model? In America, we have both -- people big like Arnold Schwarzenegger who are body builders and those are more lean and into fitness modeling. They both have competitions but bodybuilders are more popular but still not that well known by the general public. I doubt most people could name an active bodybuilder and Arnold is old and retired. MMA/UFC is popular though and most people could name at least one fighter.
@@numero9 i think physique competitors are the people who compete in physical events
@@numero9 it’s kinda like a bodybuilding .
physique competitors need not be super muscular ,but they need to be well balanced .Have you heard about IFBB ?It’s one of the biggest associations.
that italian guy was awesome. depressing that all the australians interviewed said no japanese but expected since we have relatively few japanese in australia.
Interesting video! I'd probably be able to communicate a little bit, but even after a semester abroad in Nagasaki, my Japanese skills are pretty poor.
6:05 lol, I'm guessing that is Mitsuwa in Arlington Heights.
Hey Yuta, could you react to the Ghost Stories (Gakkou no Kaidan) dub? It's by far the funniest dub ever produced.
I am travelling to Japan in March next year, i hope i will encounter Yuta so i can test my knowledge!
Japan might have another wave of COVID by then, why travel and prolong a global problem? There is very much a chance Japan could be on lock-down and your experience will be not be fulfilling. This hurts everyone. We must act as a global community as we see our friends in the UK, Spain, France, Czechia, and Italy all seeing massive rises in COVID again and locking down. Why can't people stay put for a year while the world figures this out? It only hurts small business, music, art, all the things that make countries what they are. They cannot survive on the economy and when locked down you're not going to contribute to it. I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but people traveling that isn't absolutely necessary should not be traveling in the middle of the biggest pandemic since 1918.
@@numero9 I know mate, problem is that i got my ticket back in April this year, thinking COVID would be solved by the time next yeat come... Seems like it won't so if it comes to it, i might cancel it or wait for my Airway company to do so.
Please react to rurori kenshin, I would like to know his dialect and how common it is or is it even spoken or where it is spoken in Japan. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
One of the few things I was planning to learn to say in Japanese before going to Japan was "I'm sorry, I don't speak Japanese." If it will make people think I'm lying about not speaking Japanese, maybe I shouldn't bother to learn that one?
The guy started speaking in wobbles at 11:50 I swear to god
Reaction with reaction within reaction. Mirror effect!
I wonder if Japanese eggs are really different in quality, I think the majority of farms using battery cages like everywhere else in the world. The biggest difference you can find is in the US and Canada, they wash the eggs with soap and therefore damage the shells, so they must be refrigerated to prevent an contamination.
Eggs are eggs everywhere, but perhaps he was talking about tamagoyaki?
Omelets are made different in Japan, though it's mostly about sugar. xD Sugar makes it taste pretty different from what I tasted in most countries, including mine (Brazil).
Not only you don't use sugar, but also omelet is one of those types of food you usually mix with a bunch of other stuff... kinda like okonomiyaki there. We tend to mix it with cheese, chives, onion, garlic... perhaps some ham or bacon bits, stuff like that. So it ends up being pretty salty when mixed, a side dish that goes with either rice or bread.
You don't tend to mix tamagoyaki with lots of other stuff right? In fact, in sushi places it sounds like there is a right mix, right consistency, and right way of rolling it up and doing it the right way that sounds pretty hard to do properly. xD
I like both btw, just an observation. I also do both, though I tend to fail more while trying to do tamagoyaki... it's easier to burn it. Omelets are easier, even if it comes out not quite right, it's still ok. xD
Eggs are eggs...Nope. There is definitely different eggs, even within single country. You might not notice it with omelets and such due spices, but if you try plain boiled eggs, you will see the difference.
16:35 wholesome yuta giggle
16:40 American eggs are different. Here in America, it is required by farmers to wash the eggs from bacteria and fecal matter because we do not have set laws for vaccinating chickens against salmonella. Therefore we must refrigerate our eggs. In the UK and most other countries, American eggs would illegal! They do not require washing and are not refrigerated and most animals are vaccinated for salmonella by law. There is a taste difference. So it's not such a dumb answer. It is common to find hard-boiled eggs as snacks at convenience stores in parts of the US and it is considered a healthy quick source of protein for health-conscious Americans rather than the rows of candy and chocolate bars that line the shelves beneath the cashier. But foreign eggs do taste better than American eggs!
A lot of good those vaccinations are doing when Europe and the UK keep getting salmonella outbreaks. Come join us in the 21st century, EU and you won’t have to wash the shit off your groceries when you get home.
I've been taking in a little Japanese, Spanish, and Mandarin each day for over a year or so. I can read and get the gist, but I'm abysmal if I have to respond and put a sentence together. I'm an introvert and don't want to bug people, so I never practice with others. I know I'll have to get over it if I want to get better. One day I will.
You should focus on one language and try to read something in your target language. Also on Netflix ate a few Animes from Studio Ghibli. There you can select japanese dub AND sub.
@@marcoschiemann4369
Apologies for comment length. Thorough with thoughts. Ambiguphobia.
I started with Spanish (something simpler), later Japanese (something harder), then Chinese (can help with kanji.)
Doing just one language started to make me bored. I started zoning out. I already have a bad short term memory and it takes a while for things to really stick. Zoning out means it will take even longer. Oddly, switching up and learning three at once (no deep dives just little by little) has helped me retain each a bit easier.
I like anime, but I'm not obsessed with them. I also don't have Netflix or any similar streaming services so that's a no go for now.
Plus, from what I've gathered, many anime take liberties in how people talk to make characters unique. Bad grammar, dialects from certain regions, quirks in how they speak, etc.
@@demonsorrows You dont have to be obsessed with then. Besides that, Studio Ghibli movies are rather casual compared to other animes. But the main thing is, even if they talk differently with japanese subs you can read what you hear. Helps a lot
@@marcoschiemann4369 I understand what ya mean. If I decide to get a streaming service I'll be sure to do so. Thanks for the advice.
Nice episode x)
A note about mixed kids appearances, apparently just due to genetics kids tend to take on a majority of the mother's features, so If you had a kid with a white person the kid would probably look more white with some asian features, rather than the other way around, or actually looking halfway in between. Looking more like my mother's side is certainly is the case for myself as well
2:00 I think its more like "I don't speak enough Japanese to easily communicate with you."
If you know that adoption is a thing, people can assume he is your kid. Or if you are marryed with someone with a kid. Everything is possible.
I'm half Okinawan and was in Japan with my Okinawan mom, my brother, and his green eyed Caucasian wife. Since my mom's eyes are rounder than what's typical of mainland Japanese people, along with the fact she was with a couple of hafus and a white woman, it caused confusion. If anyone spoke to us, they looked at my mom. If they knew English, they would speak to her in Japanese and repeat it in English, or they simply would ask her what language we spoke. It was interesting.
I have been noticing that many Japanese are creating reaction videos!!
Oh I know exactly why people assume that Yuta is the dad to the kid!!!! As a halfy myself, if he can speak "Japanese" (or Korean in my case) people assume that the kid is a halfy or maybe the dad is the Asian parent to insure their kid can speak the home language?
Yuta needs to worry UNCLE ROGER that JACK IS TOO WHITE!!! ⚠️⚠️⚠️
There’s a lot of foreigners in Japan
No, you are feeling this because of the bias that he only showed foreigners in the video. But if you watch Japanese TH-cam you will hardly find any foreigner. This is actually very interesting, because there was an experiment on this about the influence of media on our general knowledge. It was seen that people watching crime shows often tend to over-estimate the crime rate.
Japan is literally the Asian America. Of course

Not only did I think Jack was Yuta's son, when I saw the original video a few years ago, I also thought it was Yuta who educated Jack about the mistake of labelling white people in Japan as 'Americans'. I guess I'm bad at recognizing accents, too.
Yeah, westerners also look very much alike.
As a European it’s not that obvious where someone is from just from the looks.
My first time so early to your video
I feel like asking tourists and including them in the same group as people who live in Japan is kind of weird.
Chances that tourists put in the effort to speak any amount of a language over a few phrases is basically zero in any country.
I think the original video was intended to prove that just because people in Japan look foreign doesn't mean that they should be assumed to be. Jack actually did a spectacular job of illustrating that, though in his defense, people of any race look American and he's, what, seven in that video.
bruh yuta is just casually psychoanalyzing people on the street
