Hey Goodhumans, thanks for watching! Can't believe it's May already... 🤯May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, so we partnered with AARP to bring you this episode of Spectrum! Thanks to AARP for sponsoring this video! To learn more, visit aarp.org/caregiving.
Can we also have an episode regarding Asian men given as mentioned in this episode they have different pressures and expectations, but also I would like the concept of interracial dating to be discussed. I feel that depending on the racial background and gender of the people involved that there are different pressures or stereotypes regarding interracial dating and making the relationships work which could be examined further.
@Xeno Phon There are some people who are proud of their languages, cultures and places of their ancestors origin and these also help form bonds, friendships and understandings between relatives and communities. However culture just in the same way as perhaps someone may see religion or something else that they value as precious to themselves as an important part of themselves doesn't necessarily mean they inherently believe themselves to be superior and others to be lesser. I don't live in the USA, but NZ and here anyone can be Kiwi and that is based on shared values such as love and respect for environment and nature and kindness and empathy for each other and helping each other out to build communities with healthy bonds regardless of background. The question I challenge you to ask yourself is, what does being American mean to you and would it matter if people had different cultures and would they still be able to have those same values and be American too? I hope your answer would be yes.
Hmong, Bengali, tibetan and pakistani! Dang they brought out so many asian groups that don't get represented!! A lot of respect for letting these voices be heard.
@@assholic8944 I think for arabs it should be a "MENA" category (middle eastern north african) and for iranians there is a debate where they fit in. I agree they are west asian so there's that. This conversation was held b/w americans so they may be going off of what americans consider asian on the US census.
Exactly being South Asian person that wasn’t Indian I never really felt part of any thing. I’m so happy they are finally including different ethnicities of South Asian and Asian in general.
Might as well add Middle Eastern women as well? Because they’re geographically part of Asia as well! IMO South Asians should be called South Asians - they’re very different from East Asians.
My dad also doesn't believe in depression. He said exactly what Ayesha's dad said "what do you have to be depressed about". I feel like I will never be able to tell him how I feel
I can relate to that but there's 100% who just feel bored and were not depressed untill they heard about smth called depression otherwise DEPRESSION is 100% a thing and its not necessary to have a familiy member dying to be depressed :)
I think you should take him to the Doctor with you and have that discussion together. Having a Doctor use Science and their professional opinion to “legitimise” what you say could be really helpful. For me personally, it was really beneficial because my parents take creed in Science and fact. If a Doctor says something’s wrong, then there is something wrong.
95% of people don’t even have depression especially kids, education system in the US is too easy and forgiving plus they have nothing to worry about expect image and friendships
What Julie said near the end was a HOT TAKE. As a black person, I do step up and defend my fellow poc, but there is always a tiny bit of me that knows that it may not be the case for someone else who is a non black poc. Assimilating has always been something in minorities used to protect themselves but it definitely divides more than brings together. I digress. Takes guts to bring that conversation up. Kudos to you, Julie.
I haven’t finished the video yet, but in regards to assimilating into American cultures, I couldn’t agree more. I grew up going to predominantly Black/Latinx schools. I knew a lot of Latinx kids who didn’t speak a lick of their language because their parents wanted them to assimilate so badly. Which is so upsetting... America is praised for being a melting pot but are we really a melting pot of cultures? So many things that are seen as “other” gets demonized. As a black woman, it is so important to me that we step up for fellow POC, but even kids I grew up with wouldn’t do the same in return. I check my older relatives within the community when they say something out of line. But my Columbian ex bf’s mom literally called me a monkey in front of me and my bf never stood up for me. He even believed that I was inferior in comparison to my fair skinned peers. I will continue to stand up and fight for fellow POC, but I very often wish more non black POC would stick up for us.
Yes, i feel that we all as poc should be more welcome to helping each other. I feel that asians are not as vocal about social issues which is why people may not know their problems. And black issues seem to be helped by white liberals but not so much asian and hispanic people. Its a weird thing
Monae Slaughter maybe avoid using the term POC? It’s not us against them. It’s all of us together. White people are POC as well. They need to get off their high horse.
I'llholdthisl They have melanin, and most of them, especially those in Southern Europe and the Balkan region, are darker than your average white person. White is simply a political term.
phoenixkhost exactly what I’ve always thought. I honestly don’t understand why people think the Middle East isn’t in Asia when geography it is. Same with the other countries shows such as Bangladesh and India, people never consider that they are in Asian. Asian is a continent filled with various kinds of cultures and traditions.
I'MDEprEssEdaNDqUIrkY i never said they were similar, or have the same religion, i was just saying that most of the middle east is in asia geographically speaking
I’m pakistani and so many people think I’m not asian! there’s so much ignorance about asian communities, so thank you for including such a variety of voices ❤️
phoenixkhost I guess what you’re trying to say makes sense but it’s not about culture it’s about where we’re geographically at. Egypt and Morocco are in Africa and we are in Asia. It’s not that we want to be associated with more Eastern Asian countries, the fact is people dismiss that Asia is larger that just East Asia and no matter culture we are Asian as well
So true. Don't even get me started on middle eastern people. We are literally Asian. Asia is not a race. It's a continent. A very diverse one. I've literally had people tell me I'm not Asian straight up. Asia isnt just china Japan and Korea.
@phoenixkhost Why should we from Europe consider it as ridiculous?? All those you mentioned ARE FROM EUROPE. We are all European, we come from that continent, that is what connects us. We do have cultural differences but we also have many similarities and also some thing are even the same. In this case it is about geography... geographically all these people from the video are from Asia. At least we Europeans can relate to each other very much because we belong to the same geographical group. So there is nothing ridiculous about it.
People mainly think of east AND southeast asian actually when hearing ''asian'' , so not just east asian. But i know what u mean. The video includes South- , Southeast- & East- Asian
@@Anthony-op7xz Bcs its not viewed as asian. And most middle-eastern dont consider themselfs as asian either. (i grew up with middle eastern people and none of them do)
mxd-asian1990 technically all middle-Eastern country’s except Egypt are asian. Doesn’t matter if u call yourself that or not, they are from asian country’s and are therefor asians.
Yes I am. My mom doesn't mind if she is from another ethnic group so long as she's Muslim and my dad wants me to marry someone from the same ethnicity.
All of the women in this video were so well-spoken and nuanced in expressing their opinions. I felt like even though they had different opinions (disagree/agree) they always managed to find understanding for what others were saying. Especially the conversation at the end - the divide between Asian-Americans in different ethnic groups is rarely addressed, so this video was really eye-opening and super well done.
I feel like Ragini has done a great job with the more "serious" episodes, which focus on identity, religion, upbringing, etc. I feel like she does so well with setting a tone that helps the conversation stay respectful
@@iam1000yearsold I totally agree! For me, not only are these more "serious" episodes meaningful because they portray different snapshots of Americans, but they also allow for important discussions in the comments section and in the viewers' personal lives! Anyway, thank you for your hard work as always!
So Lilliane is graduating in premed neuroscience and her mother thinks she should prepare to be a good future wife *Get your priorities straight and support your daughter*
This happens all the time. My sister is just about finished medical school, but my parents will talk about other girls in the community that are marrying doctors
Its a cultural pressure for not just daughters but mothers too. Mothers feel pressure from others and so they transfer that pressure to their daughters. I say this as a hmong person and daughter who have lived this experience. Im not excusing the reaction of her mom but its very cultural. Im sure her mom is proud of Lillian :)
Personally, this was the best episode I've seen. The integration of the many types of asians and how they respected each other's different values was amazing. :)
Are tibetans that different from han chinese besides religion and language? even language wise tibetan is the closest cousin to mandarin and buddhism is present among both populations, just much less so in han chinese areas. you guys look pretty much the same, have similar singing styles, dressing, food to an extent, etc.
@@yoloswag1357 yeah. In my opinion there's a difference. Tibetans can look Chinese but they can also look very native. I personally can tell a part Tibetans easily. As for language they deliver it in a very calm manner unlike Chinese. Also it's written entirely different. Just my 2 cent.
I love how they included other nationalities than just chinese, korean, or japenese. I feel like a lot of ppl when they hear the word asian think about the steretypical chinese look but asia is so diverse. I am glad they included countries from south asia and such
@@foreverinbloom14 even though Hmong people live and are from China we aren’t Chinese - we are Hmong. Hmong people were forced out of China and immigrated south to Laos, Thailand and North Vietnam. We fought in the Secret War and was almost left behind by America to be killed because we helped them. Hmong people are not Chinese people. We are our own group of people.
As a desi american, thank you for including a Pakistani and Bengali woman. South Asia is severely underrepresented when people talk about Asian culture, and even if we are, it's usually an Indian person.
@@SK-hd1yk Doesn't make sense lumping us all together though, especially when we're nothing alike. And didn't you hear? Pakistanis are Arab, Persian, Turkish, European, and basically anything other than South Asian. At least that's what most Pakistanis told me.
Seeing some very toxic comments, about how non-east Asians should not be considered Asian. I seriously can't understand people, if your country of origin is from ASIA YOU ARE ASIAN! Please educate yourself, and stop spreading hate. We already have enough hate going around with this virus, as coloured/Asian people we need to stand up for yourselves and others.
I have seen a lot of comments that question if it makes sense to put them all under the same category. Asian is such a broad term. More than half of the world lives there. Asia is such a huge and diverse continent. People from Turkey and Lebanon are Asian as well. But have very little in common with people from let's say Korea. Saudi Arabia and India. Uzbekistan and Singapor. Israel and Nepal. Jemen and the Philippines. And so on. I think categorizing people just on geographic location is super weird and not accurate. I think it is a very valid discussion. People are diverse and different. And one label won't fit everybody.
I get that we are so different and grouping us as Asian is confusing however, there are sub-regions for a reason. We have east-asian, south-east Asian, south-asian, central Asian and the middle-east. There are probably more but these are the ones I remember from the top of my head. I don't see why we can't say we are Asian. If someone wants to know more we can certainly direct them to our region and country. People get mad for the stupidest reasons these days haha. Also if they think we have nothing in common, a quick search about dumplings in Asia will tell you otherwise!!
@@MrSirGut every continent is like that, big and diverse, or do you think european, african or latin american countries are all the same? you can clearly see from this video that they share some similarities in their culture, it wouldn't make sense to not include people from other regions of Asia if they're talking about Asian people
as a Bengali female, I agree with most of what she said except my parents push school and career on me more than marriage and chores and etc. (also bc i'm the only, probably). Most of my relatives as well though, religion and school are more important than marriage in our family. I also think I'm definitely going to take care of my parents in the future.
you in highschool, your parents:"EDUCATION FIRST, NO RELATIONSHIP" you in college: "FIND A STABLE JOB FIRST" you with a job: " WHY AREN'T YOU MARRIED YET?!?"
I feel this statement.... it's not often that those comments were brought up by strangers, but out of the times it has happened, it's made me feel either annoyed or uncomfortable in some way. It's like, I can easily talk about my time in school or share an story or two about my day at work, but it feels more personal when people ask out of nowhere about my marital status...
yes. South asian (bangladesh/pakistan) , Southeast asian (cambodian) & East asian (korea / Tibet) , & hmong (but hmong live in east asia AND southeast asia , in southern china to be exact & in the North parts of Thailand laos and vietnam)
Why are they even considered asian? Honestly curious, their cultures are vastly different as well as appearance. If anything, I feel that region is mislabeled.
Loved this! Huge props to Jubilee for bringing in such a diverse group of Asian women to Spectrum. I think generally when people think about Asians, they automatically think about Korean, Japanese, and Chinese first. And when it comes to East Asians (specifically Hmong, Tibet, Cambodia), and South Asians (specifically Pakistan, Bangladesh), they definitely don't get enough attention and a platform to share their culture, stories, and experiences.
when ayesha chose to work at her dad's used car business to protect them from other people. that is the sweetest thing a child can do for their parent. it literally had me in tears.
yes pleaaaase and with central, south AND caribbean countries represented, making sure to have a racially inclusive group of women, afro-latinas, indigenous latinas, asian latinas, etc. would really be amazing
I'm Chinese American and I'm choked up listening to their ideas and experiences. I guess you dont realize how much you can relate with others until you hear it, so thank you to these wonderful women and Jubilee❤❤
Troll77 Neptune It's just a hypothetical to see if despite living in a free and democratic country when push came to shove whether she'd choose to be a traitor and side with the corrupt communist. party.
@@lawbringer9857 My parents were involved in the Tianenmen Square protests and I support and have written articles for newspapers regarding the Hong Kong Protests. Let's just say I'm in America for a reason.
This is so true for parents who immigrated to this country or went through hardships like war. Ugh but then I'm kind of brutal and throw it back on them saying they didn't go through WW2 like their parents did lol
As a fellow female Asian American, I didn't realize how hard this would hit me. I felt everyone's words and perspectives in this one and even learned new ways to view mine and other's cultures. Thank you!!
"We cant expect others to care, when we didn't do anything when they were attacked." 100%%% Julie. Like we need to start supporting eachother because in the end of the day ,we all lost a lot of ourselves in the struggle. Colonialism damaged and segregated a lot of communities. Othered so many. We are blessed to be alive and in this world we're living in. I think we should strive to not let the effects of the past ruin our narrative and the voices we will oneday provide for our children. The borders between our communities need to be broken down, no cap.
I actually love this social distancing set up. I think everyone’s more comfortable and open just sitting their homes rather than in a room of strangers. Props to the team! This was a great video
This was a good video, I enjoyed hearing about their experiences. I also love that Julie spoke up about how if we want minorities to come together, we need to speak up each time others go through these racial injustices and not be silent.
Agree. It makes me sad when minorities are always dividing themselves, and pitting us against each other when we can all have a stronger voice together. Also, a few bad eggs from each community does not represent the entire community. There ARE people out there who will stand up against injustice just because it’s a matter of humanity and not race.
@@swarma_b33f the problem is that other races have a strongdislike for each other and people of African descent That's why most black people stay silent now
@@princessjellyfish you should travel to these Asian countries and we will see if you will think the same You have to face reality A lot of people in the asian community have a strong hate for other asians and people with brown or black skin Why would you defend people that hate your guts?
The video includes not only south & east asian. Cambodian is Southeast asian. And Hmong people live around South China , North Thailand , north laos and north vietnam.
@givemeyourmoney West asian are considered as middle-eastern mainly (also most middle-easterners dont consider themselfs as asian, i grew up with many of them and NONE of them do) , Central asia is a ethnical mix of european/asian (same with russians, most of them are actually white people, except for some tribes who did not even originate in russia, its just that most of the russian country is in asia)
@givemeyourmoney while I agree with you to a degree. South, Southeast and East Asians, have more similar cultures and values (read as far eastern cultures). I think west Asians/middle Eastern people deserve their own video for their unique perspectives.
@givemeyourmoney Partly yes, it depends on the country. Never used the word caucasian, the country where i live in ,people dont even know what that is.
This was such a peaceful episode (lol) and so insightful. Props to Jubilee for casting a diverse group of Asian American women and making this series work even if they weren’t there in person! I’d be interested to see Asian American men and maybe first generation Asian Americans (like the parents of this video’s cast). Loved the video!
This was one of my favorite episodes. I definitely felt that I could relate on so many levels. This video made me feel seen in a sense, knowing that so many other women are sharing my experiences. This is a really important conversation to have had and continue having. America is my home, but sometimes I feel like I don't belong anywhere, whether here or in Asia. You're either too Asian or not Asian enough.
I’ve heard this opinion/perspective so many times, lol. I’m an American and I don’t feel like I belong anywhere either. And there’s literally nothing wrong with that, especially since I’m a history buff, and I’m still learning :)
@Ellen Habteyonas i am a bloke and i have the exact same hair grade, i was checking every curl. i just have too much volume. i thought she was biracial .
@@Dai_rui Took me forever to respond xD And yeah, I know that. But a lot of people are saying that they were surprised by the various Asian representation. I'm saying that, given that the boss is Asian, it's really not surprising. If he was a white man, for example, there might not be as much.
Can you do “Do all Hispanic/latinas think alike?” Edit: I know they did ‘do all Latinos think the same’ but I want one just Latinas speaking about their experiences. I think I should have said “Do all Latinas think the same?” Similar concept to this video and do all black women think the same. I want to hear how latinas feel about being sexualize, being called spicy, how they feel about the beauty standard in the community like curvy/hour glass figure, olive skin, straight long brown hair etc..
@phoenixkhost Brazilians would count as Latinos still. Latinos are people with Latin American origins. It doesn't matter if they speak Spanish or not. Hispanics on the other hand, are people with some sort of Spanish/European origin/ancestry.
I have always felt like Asians arent given the space to talk about race and racism the same way other ethnic minorities can. Thanks to Jubilee for the representation 💖
@dev0n james meh, I can't say that's true for all Asians. Some people in my family literally glorify white people. So there's that. Moral of the story: everyone's not the same.
dev0n james not all white people are racist and I’m pretty sure all nationalities have a minority of racists in some shape or form. Fear of unknown, grudges, sensitive history etc. But compared to 100 years ago, it is getting better.
I wish I could thumbs up this video twice. These women were very smart and respectful and I really enjoyed hearing their responses and ideas. Good Job Jubliee 👏 👍
OMG thank you for having a Hmong person on here. I literally paused the video and stopped eating my meal just to cry a little bit. We are so under represented and many people do not even know about Hmong people. Love you guys and thank you 😩😩😩💖
it just comes with the territory of Asia being such a vast continent with so much different culture and tradition, it’s impossible to condense it down to “the same values”
Thank you so much for making this video and choosing such a diverse group of Asian American women. I am also Tibetan American and this is honestly the first time I've seen someone of my ethnicity on youtube and it made me so unexplainably happy. Being mixed, I've never felt like I truly fit into either side and it was so refreshing to just watch this video and see people share similar experiences as me. Thank you.
I'm Puerto Rican/Colombian. During my second year of university I went to study abroad for a year in California and my family was and still is all the Asian, Latino and African American communities that created that sense of home to me when I miss my island. Definitely all minorities together are stronger! We are family! I'm forever grateful for all these minorities that became my majority
Robert Burger nop! Never said that XD I can’t hate anyone based only on their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion etc. For me to hate or in my case dislike someone, because I have never hated anyone, has to be because of the actions of that individual. During that time of my life these communities were the closest to me so that’s why I said they became my family ;) of course I also had very good friends during that time of other races but I’m here only talking about the majority that were with me and connecting it with the topic of the video. 💙 Hope you have a great day!
South Asian , Southeast Asian & East Asian. Well and then Hmong , who mainly live in Southern China , North Thailand ,North Laos and North Vietnam. Very Nice :)
I'm South Asian and i hate hate hate to affirm a stereotype, but what I can say is that Asians work harder, to get smarter, and obtain good educations... and she is so impressive for that. getting into any top 50 school tbh, but especially an Ivy.
I am an indian and i agree that realtives and family members tell you to be soft spoken and just listern to them without questioning and i am like why are we educating ur girls without letting them have a mind of thier own, i am tried of being the idol GOOD GIRL !!
Even though im not asian, im Latina I related so much to what Ayesha said. I dont live in the US I live in Germany but no matter where I am, when im in my home country im "the German" and in Germany im "the Latina" and it is so frustrating knowing that no matter where you are you will always feel like an outsider.
17:11 *Exactly............. that's a HUGEEE problem. b l k ppl has fought other peoples battle for a LONG time but when it's time to help us: *crickets*...... it shouldn't be like that. Props to her for acknowledging that*
Sim ? Yeah I completely agree. Civil rights in this country is benefiting all minorities groups off of the struggle black people endured for centuries in this country. So other minority groups need to step up for black people when they need it.
My asian wife stood up clapping when Julie said that. She has told me so many times that Asians should be more empathetic to other minorities because when the majority starts coming at them (like they are during this pandemic) they will very quickly realize that they are not one of them or accepted by them.
It sucks, but honestly, I feel like most groups in the U.S. do that though. They have this whole mindset of "well they dont do the same for us", so dont say or do anything about it when they suffer too" And tbh, this occurs in the black community too. There was that incident where an elderly Asian woman was beat up by 2 black teens in MN and more in NYC but the black community hasn't said anything about it either.. if everyone were to stick up for each other I feel like racism/prejudice would occur so much less.
They included a variety of women in this video, and yet of course there is still people complaining they didn't use someone from where they are from lmao. Geez guys, give them a break. They can't possibly use someone from everywhere! Be glad they at least had some variety in here! A lot of other channels would of just used East Asian women and called it a day. You can't please everyone I suppose
I'm Bangladeshi and extremely happy to be represented, and tbh, they represented a good portion of underrepresented Asian ethnicities!!! they did an amazing job.
Loved the diversity of women chosen and loved the prompts! All these women are so beautiful and well-spoken! This was such a well-done video, I would love to hear more from these women (I don't know if there is a platform where Asian women can come together and discuss their experiences)
My cousins are mixed race--British father and a Thai mother. Hearing Ayesha's perspective on feeling at home in America really made me consider how my family treats them, since they were born and raised in Thailand and are much closer to that culture we've never really perceived them much as British. I think as they've gotten older we've made more of an effort to include them into both cultures and make them feel proud to be both (its kinda why we've put off calling them "half white and half asian", since we're insinuating that they're less British than their father and less Thai than their mother). Even then we're still learning and I think its interesting to listen to a lot of perspectives on this, hence why I love this channel so much.
I relate to what Ayesha says about feeling 100% home. In Belgium I’m the Albanian and when I go to Kosovo they say I’m the Belgian. But I don’t really mind. These women do be lookin good🔥
Same tbh! In Kosovo if they know you come from "outside" if you know what i mean, they consider you different. They even sell things more expensive, because they expect you to have a lot of money! 🙄
Glad there's so many of us! In Portugal I'm considered Romanian, in Romanian I'm considered Portuguese. When I was a teenager I had a hard time figuring out what was I, then I realised hell I can celebrate 2 cultures
I wonder how some of the answers would’ve changed with Asians with American-born parents... as a second generation Asian-American I personally would’ve had different opinions for some of these. Like it would almost show maybe the “dilution” of culture as generations pass (I use dilution because that’s what it seems like to me personally). Maybe that is against the purpose of this video but I dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ooh that's interesting and may apply but honestly it would be a range too, just like here, because like Marjana and some others, many would parent the same way as their parents (for example, I probably will parent similarly to my parents because I'm really grateful for how they raised me with religion, morals, a focus on education, discipline to an extent, filiality and best of all, culture) whereas others are more... Americanized (or uh, whitewashed). which kinda saddens me. dilution is a good term to use.
I watch the FaceTiming a jubilee hater yesterday, and I can’t see how anyone hates these videos, my favorite are the odd man out but I literately love all of them
Jubilee- I love seeing the representation with women of color as of late. Black moms, Asian women- important communities to represent!! Keep up the great work
@@kikijasimine *I'm talking about the person who mentioned b l k dads implying that there aren't there to be asked questions because it's a stereotype that b l k dads are dead beats*
@@devonmunn5728 Yeah she is a bit famous. She's an instagram influencer with more than 150k followers but I only know her for calling out priyanka chopra on something a while back
girlie was right tho. I can't expect black people to help me as an asian because a lot of people in the asian community has been and STILL are racist and prejudiced against black people. i always get frustrated when some black people say hurtful comments about asians amidst the virus. i ask "how could they treat us like this when they should know how it feels to be treated this way?" then i remember all the racism and mocking of their appearance and culture that asians have done to hurt the blacks :/ neither groups are pure but asians definitely have more privileges
The whole thing is ridiculous. My group.. your group... God made us all. He didn’t create differences so we can divide and decide we’re better than someone else. It’s to show his glory and all that he can do. Covid is God’s judgement on this world. Because overall all nationals have forgotten him. So don’t look at the color of a person for why this is happening. Not a popular opinion I’m sure. But it’s a true one.
@King V Yes and I talk about that generational gap. And a lot of Black people who've had bad experiences with the older folk don't try to engage the younger people because those bad experiences cloud their judgement and then blanket us all as racist to Black people. Not trying to say anything bad about Black people. What I'm trying to say is those without Asian friends should try to make friends with Asians despite the bad experiences. And yes there is racism among Asians that needs to be addressed.
its so weird because alot of what i saw in the indian community is that they rejected other minority communities in favor of the ones in power (I.e white americans) to protect themselves and to benefit. This also led to the model minority and Indians being indirectly racist and blind to the BLM movement.
They are such intelligent, resilient and strong women. They were so attentive of every response and understood each other so well despite the different circumstances they’re in
@jchc VV HOW is this simping? he simply paid her compliments and especially since he's gay, it's not for an ulterior motive. look up the definition of simp. you guys OVERUSE it.
I think this is the best cast video so far. although they all have differing opinions they were so respectful and I also think the range of different people under one umbrella is great.
Julie dropped some LITERAL bars at the end. I also really respect her bringing up the Asian communities' sometimes lack of outrage against discrimination towards other minority groups. We see you love! ❤️
to be fair, the Asian community has been quiet and accepted racism against our own community as well. model minority is a myth like stated in the video, but sometimes Asians just take the racism and go on with life. also nowadays modern Asians, like Julie for example and i'm sure all the lovely ladies in the video, stand up to their family over racist or colorist remarks. that being said, everything she said is still true -- in America at least, because South Asians fought alongside black people in England and South Africa
i actually cant be the only one who wants to be Ragini(the director)'s friend lol... She seems like such a genuinely nice person... Those are hard to find
I appreciate this discussion a lot :) I’m not Asian myself, but I love being able to hear different perspectives from within the community. Would have loved a question addressing colorism and anti blackness as well!
@Zceve40 I agreee. Asians are inclusive to fellow Asians but if you're non-Asian I understand why things tend to get a little different, but that does not mean Asian people hate black people or whatever. I And about colorism, that is something very cultural and it tends to be more about social status than racism, here, fair skin is seen as "rich" while tanned or uneven skin are seen as "poor", it's more into a historical context of nobility and peasants. But, that doesn't make it right. I think in 21st Century Asia, such perception still exist but I'm fortunate to witness that there are many people who reject the perception and start accepting themselves for who they are.
I love what Julie said in the end about other POC stepping up to help protect Asians during this time. Although we should all be looking out for each other the reality is that black people have always been looking out for the other poc but it usually doesn't get reciprocated. And for her to acknowledge that was really impressive.
I have a big problem with people using the term "model minority". I have never known any Asians ever describing themselves with that term. That is a term that is cast onto Asians by racist people and people who want to twist our experience for their benefit.
I hate "People of Color" as well, coming from an Asian country where I grew up from a race native and a majority to Southeast Asia, I never felt myself as if I'm a colored person or a minority or whatever. I think that POC thing is very white-centric and the term is basically connotes being "White and the Others".
@@hwfq34fajw9foiffawdiufhuaiwfhw I know right? I think Americans think POC is more respectful when they just arranged the words hahaha. that's why I never identify myself as colored or POC because it's such a white-centric thing to say. I'm Asian who grew up and still lives in Asia so I never felt the need to identify myself as colored, nor even identify my race based on the color of my skin. It's such an American thing for me, and it just got popular because Americans used it? Imo..

Hey Goodhumans, thanks for watching! Can't believe it's May already... 🤯May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, so we partnered with AARP to bring you this episode of Spectrum! Thanks to AARP for sponsoring this video! To learn more, visit aarp.org/caregiving.
hello
i LOVE THİS CHANNEL!!!!
@Xeno Phon They are Americans but those are real sub cultures so they are real. Also, you are very disrespectful and didn't state your opinion kindly.
Can we also have an episode regarding Asian men given as mentioned in this episode they have different pressures and expectations, but also I would like the concept of interracial dating to be discussed. I feel that depending on the racial background and gender of the people involved that there are different pressures or stereotypes regarding interracial dating and making the relationships work which could be examined further.
@Xeno Phon There are some people who are proud of their languages, cultures and places of their ancestors origin and these also help form bonds, friendships and understandings between relatives and communities. However culture just in the same way as perhaps someone may see religion or something else that they value as precious to themselves as an important part of themselves doesn't necessarily mean they inherently believe themselves to be superior and others to be lesser. I don't live in the USA, but NZ and here anyone can be Kiwi and that is based on shared values such as love and respect for environment and nature and kindness and empathy for each other and helping each other out to build communities with healthy bonds regardless of background. The question I challenge you to ask yourself is, what does being American mean to you and would it matter if people had different cultures and would they still be able to have those same values and be American too? I hope your answer would be yes.
Hmong, Bengali, tibetan and pakistani! Dang they brought out so many asian groups that don't get represented!! A lot of respect for letting these voices be heard.
Ikr! I’m Hmong and I was so surprised
Seriously!! As a chinese-american woman, even I felt relieved to see such variety.
STILL NO ARABS OR IRANIANS OR EVEN TURKIK PEOPLE
@@assholic8944 I think for arabs it should be a "MENA" category (middle eastern north african) and for iranians there is a debate where they fit in. I agree they are west asian so there's that. This conversation was held b/w americans so they may be going off of what americans consider asian on the US census.
I am bengali and it feels so good to see my community getting represented :)
thank you for not only using east asian women. this means a lot.
Yes. Its south asian , southeast asian and east asian
Exactly being South Asian person that wasn’t Indian I never really felt part of any thing. I’m so happy they are finally including different ethnicities of South Asian and Asian in general.
Yet still no middle-eastern folks
Might as well add Middle Eastern women as well? Because they’re geographically part of Asia as well!
IMO South Asians should be called South Asians - they’re very different from East Asians.

My dad also doesn't believe in depression. He said exactly what Ayesha's dad said "what do you have to be depressed about". I feel like I will never be able to tell him how I feel
I can relate to that but there's 100% who just feel bored and were not depressed untill they heard about smth called depression otherwise DEPRESSION is 100% a thing and its not necessary to have a familiy member dying to be depressed :)
I’m truly sorry for you
ikr my sis in therapy and like the classic immigrant father he thinks its useless
I think you should take him to the Doctor with you and have that discussion together. Having a Doctor use Science and their professional opinion to “legitimise” what you say could be really helpful. For me personally, it was really beneficial because my parents take creed in Science and fact. If a Doctor says something’s wrong, then there is something wrong.
95% of people don’t even have depression especially kids, education system in the US is too easy and forgiving plus they have nothing to worry about expect image and friendships
What Julie said near the end was a HOT TAKE. As a black person, I do step up and defend my fellow poc, but there is always a tiny bit of me that knows that it may not be the case for someone else who is a non black poc. Assimilating has always been something in minorities used to protect themselves but it definitely divides more than brings together. I digress. Takes guts to bring that conversation up. Kudos to you, Julie.
I haven’t finished the video yet, but in regards to assimilating into American cultures, I couldn’t agree more. I grew up going to predominantly Black/Latinx schools. I knew a lot of Latinx kids who didn’t speak a lick of their language because their parents wanted them to assimilate so badly. Which is so upsetting... America is praised for being a melting pot but are we really a melting pot of cultures? So many things that are seen as “other” gets demonized. As a black woman, it is so important to me that we step up for fellow POC, but even kids I grew up with wouldn’t do the same in return. I check my older relatives within the community when they say something out of line. But my Columbian ex bf’s mom literally called me a monkey in front of me and my bf never stood up for me. He even believed that I was inferior in comparison to my fair skinned peers. I will continue to stand up and fight for fellow POC, but I very often wish more non black POC would stick up for us.
Yes, i feel that we all as poc should be more welcome to helping each other. I feel that asians are not as vocal about social issues which is why people may not know their problems. And black issues seem to be helped by white liberals but not so much asian and hispanic people. Its a weird thing
Monae Slaughter maybe avoid using the term POC? It’s not us against them. It’s all of us together. White people are POC as well. They need to get off their high horse.
Dr. Apollo POC means people of color white people are not POC.
I'llholdthisl They have melanin, and most of them, especially those in Southern Europe and the Balkan region, are darker than your average white person. White is simply a political term.

Pakistanis are often miscategorized as Middle Eastern so being a part of this made me so so so happy :)
You are so beautiful and well spoken! ♡
Most of middle east is in asia, so i dont think that would matter
Tibetan, Hmong, Pakistani .... its wonderful to see the not very visible Asians represented :)
phoenixkhost exactly what I’ve always thought. I honestly don’t understand why people think the Middle East isn’t in Asia when geography it is. Same with the other countries shows such as Bangladesh and India, people never consider that they are in Asian. Asian is a continent filled with various kinds of cultures and traditions.
I'MDEprEssEdaNDqUIrkY i never said they were similar, or have the same religion, i was just saying that most of the middle east is in asia geographically speaking
I’m pakistani and so many people think I’m not asian! there’s so much ignorance about asian communities, so thank you for including such a variety of voices ❤️
@phoenixkhost We wan't to be considered Asian Cause we are it is literally where we are from.
phoenixkhost I guess what you’re trying to say makes sense but it’s not about culture it’s about where we’re geographically at. Egypt and Morocco are in Africa and we are in Asia. It’s not that we want to be associated with more Eastern Asian countries, the fact is people dismiss that Asia is larger that just East Asia and no matter culture we are Asian as well
So true. Don't even get me started on middle eastern people. We are literally Asian. Asia is not a race. It's a continent. A very diverse one. I've literally had people tell me I'm not Asian straight up. Asia isnt just china Japan and Korea.
@@naadirchaudhury4005 I know. I never thought that people would have a debate over geography which is literally facts. I'm at a loss for words
@phoenixkhost Why should we from Europe consider it as ridiculous?? All those you mentioned ARE FROM EUROPE. We are all European, we come from that continent, that is what connects us. We do have cultural differences but we also have many similarities and also some thing are even the same.
In this case it is about geography... geographically all these people from the video are from Asia.
At least we Europeans can relate to each other very much because we belong to the same geographical group. So there is nothing ridiculous about it.
Glad that there is more than just East Asian women.
People mainly think of east AND southeast asian actually when hearing ''asian'' , so not just east asian. But i know what u mean. The video includes South- , Southeast- & East- Asian
Making us feel included for once
They have no middle-eastern though :(
@@Anthony-op7xz Bcs its not viewed as asian. And most middle-eastern dont consider themselfs as asian either. (i grew up with middle eastern people and none of them do)
mxd-asian1990 technically all middle-Eastern country’s except Egypt are asian. Doesn’t matter if u call yourself that or not, they are from asian country’s and are therefor asians.
I wish they would’ve asked if they’re pressured to be in a relationship with someone of their own race.
Yea
yes i am:(
Yes I am. My mom doesn't mind if she is from another ethnic group so long as she's Muslim and my dad wants me to marry someone from the same ethnicity.

@@flowerfleur8105 It means to be overly subserviant and complimenting towards woman in general
All of the women in this video were so well-spoken and nuanced in expressing their opinions. I felt like even though they had different opinions (disagree/agree) they always managed to find understanding for what others were saying. Especially the conversation at the end - the divide between Asian-Americans in different ethnic groups is rarely addressed, so this video was really eye-opening and super well done.
I feel like Ragini has done a great job with the more "serious" episodes, which focus on identity, religion, upbringing, etc. I feel like she does so well with setting a tone that helps the conversation stay respectful
misterkeithb yes she’s one of my favorite crew members on jublee
yes so true she captured self-identity so accurately
These are such kind words! Thank you so much!
@@iam1000yearsold I totally agree! For me, not only are these more "serious" episodes meaningful because they portray different snapshots of Americans, but they also allow for important discussions in the comments section and in the viewers' personal lives!

So Lilliane is graduating in premed neuroscience and her mother thinks she should prepare to be a good future wife
*Get your priorities straight and support your daughter*
This happens all the time. My sister is just about finished medical school, but my parents will talk about other girls in the community that are marrying doctors
Its a cultural pressure for not just daughters but mothers too. Mothers feel pressure from others and so they transfer that pressure to their daughters. I say this as a hmong person and daughter who have lived this experience. Im not excusing the reaction of her mom but its very cultural. Im sure her mom is proud of Lillian :)
but how can you attract a smart and rich guy unless you major in premed neuroscience?? haha

Personally, this was the best episode I've seen. The integration of the many types of asians and how they respected each other's different values was amazing. :)

Are tibetans that different from han chinese besides religion and language? even language wise tibetan is the closest cousin to mandarin and buddhism is present among both populations, just much less so in han chinese areas. you guys look pretty much the same, have similar singing styles, dressing, food to an extent, etc.
@@yoloswag1357 yeah. In my opinion there's a difference. Tibetans can look Chinese but they can also look very native. I personally can tell a part Tibetans easily. As for language they deliver it in a very calm manner unlike Chinese. Also it's written entirely different. Just my 2 cent.
yolo swag dalai lama escaped China from mao to go to India for refuge so India accepts Tibetan refugees
I love how they included other nationalities than just chinese, korean, or japenese. I feel like a lot of ppl when they hear the word asian think about the steretypical chinese look but asia is so diverse. I am glad they included countries from south asia and such
South Asia, not Middle East!
Pakistan and Bangladesh aren't middle eastern, they are South Asian. More like India than Saudi Arabia if that makes it easier

Seeing some very toxic comments, about how non-east Asians should not be considered Asian. I seriously can't understand people, if your country of origin is from ASIA YOU ARE ASIAN! Please educate yourself, and stop spreading hate. We already have enough hate going around with this virus, as coloured/Asian people we need to stand up for yourselves and others.
I have seen a lot of comments that question if it makes sense to put them all under the same category. Asian is such a broad term. More than half of the world lives there. Asia is such a huge and diverse continent. People from Turkey and Lebanon are Asian as well. But have very little in common with people from let's say Korea. Saudi Arabia and India. Uzbekistan and Singapor. Israel and Nepal. Jemen and the Philippines. And so on. I think categorizing people just on geographic location is super weird and not accurate. I think it is a very valid discussion. People are diverse and different. And one label won't fit everybody.
I get that we are so different and grouping us as Asian is confusing however, there are sub-regions for a reason. We have east-asian, south-east Asian, south-asian, central Asian and the middle-east. There are probably more but these are the ones I remember from the top of my head. I don't see why we can't say we are Asian. If someone wants to know more we can certainly direct them to our region and country. People get mad for the stupidest reasons these days haha. Also if they think we have nothing in common, a quick search about dumplings in Asia will tell you otherwise!!
ya lol. Its a continent. Russia is technically eastern, and so is india
@@MrSirGut every continent is like that, big and diverse, or do you think european, african or latin american countries are all the same? you can clearly see from this video that they share some similarities in their culture, it wouldn't make sense to not include people from other regions of Asia if they're talking about Asian people
Yeah I know. The problem is that “Asian” is a broad term. Does it mean the people that we commonly associate with Asia or is it all of Asia?
As a Bengali male, what Marjana said is soo accurate. Along with Ayesha, her opinion about mental health is too relatable

you in college: "FIND A STABLE JOB FIRST"
you with a job: " WHY AREN'T YOU MARRIED YET?!?"
I'm Nigerian and I think Africans and Asians tend to share similarities when it comes to parenting or the "community"
I feel this statement.... it's not often that those comments were brought up by strangers, but out of the times it has happened, it's made me feel either annoyed or uncomfortable in some way. It's like, I can easily talk about my time in school or share an story or two about my day at work, but it feels more personal when people ask out of nowhere about my marital status...
I LOVE that there is a variety of Asian women being represented 💕💕
yes. South asian (bangladesh/pakistan) , Southeast asian (cambodian) & East asian (korea / Tibet) , & hmong (but hmong live in east asia AND southeast asia , in southern china to be exact & in the North parts of Thailand laos and vietnam)
Why are they even considered asian? Honestly curious, their cultures are vastly different as well as appearance. If anything, I feel that region is mislabeled.

Loved this! Huge props to Jubilee for bringing in such a diverse group of Asian women to Spectrum. I think generally when people think about Asians, they automatically think about Korean, Japanese, and Chinese first. And when it comes to East Asians (specifically Hmong, Tibet, Cambodia), and South Asians (specifically Pakistan, Bangladesh), they definitely don't get enough attention and a platform to share their culture, stories, and experiences.

Kenya J The problem is that everyone has the “that sounds like a you problem” mentality.
Agree. It makes me sad when minorities are always dividing themselves, and pitting us against each other when we can all have a stronger voice together. Also, a few bad eggs from each community does not represent the entire community. There ARE people out there who will stand up against injustice just because it’s a matter of humanity and not race.

@givemeyourmoney West asian are considered as middle-eastern mainly (also most middle-easterners dont consider themselfs as asian, i grew up with many of them and NONE of them do) , Central asia is a ethnical mix of european/asian (same with russians, most of them are actually white people, except for some tribes who did not even originate in russia, its just that most of the russian country is in asia)

This is a great episode. I so rarely see asian women get a proper platform to talk about these issues. Some valuable perspectives here.
This was such a peaceful episode (lol) and so insightful. Props to Jubilee for casting a diverse group of Asian American women and making this series work even if they weren’t there in person! I’d be interested to see Asian American men and maybe first generation Asian Americans (like the parents of this video’s cast). Loved the video!
Ayesha is so well spoken and eloquent. She's not long winded and I feel her emotions 100%, she's very sincere too.
This was one of my favorite episodes. I definitely felt that I could relate on so many levels. This video made me feel seen in a sense, knowing that so many other women are sharing my experiences. This is a really important conversation to have had and continue having. America is my home, but sometimes I feel like I don't belong anywhere, whether here or in Asia. You're either too Asian or not Asian enough.
I’ve heard this opinion/perspective so many times, lol. I’m an American and I don’t feel like I belong anywhere either. And there’s literally nothing wrong with that, especially since I’m a history buff, and I’m still learning :)

Can you do “Do all Hispanic/latinas think alike?”
Edit: I know they did ‘do all Latinos think the same’ but I want one just Latinas speaking about their experiences. I think I should have said “Do all Latinas think the same?” Similar concept to this video and do all black women think the same.

I have always felt like Asians arent given the space to talk about race and racism the same way other ethnic minorities can. Thanks to Jubilee for the representation 💖
dev0n james Right, because stereotyping others you know nothing about is wrong and you would never do that.
@dev0n james meh, I can't say that's true for all Asians. Some people in my family literally glorify white people. So there's that. Moral of the story: everyone's not the same.
dev0n james what??😂😂
dev0n james not all white people are racist and I’m pretty sure all nationalities have a minority of racists in some shape or form. Fear of unknown, grudges, sensitive history etc. But compared to 100 years ago, it is getting better.

Free Tibet!

This video is really interesting! I'd like to see a video on Asian-American men too, as a Filipino-American man.
I'm not Filipino but I'd like to see perspectives from Filipinos across the world on whether or not they view themselves as Asian or Pacific Islander.
@@mrunabout so as a filipino in the Philippines. We are asian
When they were all introducing themselves and their occupations I was like "damn, these are some Asian boss women!"
I'm Puerto Rican/Colombian. During my second year of university I went to study abroad for a year in California and my family was and still is all the Asian, Latino and African American communities that created that sense of home to me when I miss my island. Definitely all minorities together are stronger! We are family! I'm forever grateful for all these minorities that became my majority
Robert Burger nop! Never said that XD I can’t hate anyone based only on their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion etc. For me to hate or in my case dislike someone, because I have never hated anyone, has to be because of the actions of that individual. During that time of my life these communities were the closest to me so that’s why I said they became my family ;) of course I also had very good friends during that time of other races but I’m here only talking about the majority that were with me and connecting it with the topic of the video. 💙 Hope you have a great day!
@Robert Burger White people aren't entitled to be included in every single comment and conversation lol, stop making it about yourself
Robert Burger she literally didn’t say that not everything is abt white ppl get over yourself🤦🏻♀️
South Asian , Southeast Asian & East Asian. Well and then Hmong , who mainly live in Southern China , North Thailand ,North Laos and North Vietnam. Very Nice :)

I'm South Asian and i hate hate hate to affirm a stereotype, but what I can say is that Asians work harder, to get smarter, and obtain good educations... and she is so impressive for that. getting into any top 50 school tbh, but especially an Ivy.
Luguma has such a soothing speaking voice.
I am an indian and i agree that realtives and family members tell you to be soft spoken and just listern to them without questioning and i am like why are we educating ur girls without letting them have a mind of thier own, i am tried of being the idol GOOD GIRL !!
I also agree. How could anyone expect us to be respectful when they give us little or none in return?
Even though im not asian, im Latina I related so much to what Ayesha said. I dont live in the US I live in Germany but no matter where I am, when im in my home country im "the German" and in Germany im "the Latina" and it is so frustrating knowing that no matter where you are you will always feel like an outsider.
I love how they were still able to make these spectrum videos with all of this social distancing going on! :)
This is actually even better.... because they can do it with people from all over the world :D
Random but Ayesha is really pretty
LoselosemyWinwin so is Marjana
Lillian is also very pretty
yesss her and Marjana imo, south asians are whew
17:11
*Exactly............. that's a HUGEEE problem. b l k ppl has fought other peoples battle for a LONG time but when it's time to help us: *crickets*...... it shouldn't be like that. Props to her for acknowledging that*
1000%. It's about time we acknowledge it!
Sim ? Yeah I completely agree. Civil rights in this country is benefiting all minorities groups off of the struggle black people endured for centuries in this country. So other minority groups need to step up for black people when they need it.
My asian wife stood up clapping when Julie said that. She has told me so many times that Asians should be more empathetic to other minorities because when the majority starts coming at them (like they are during this pandemic) they will very quickly realize that they are not one of them or accepted by them.
It sucks, but honestly, I feel like most groups in the U.S. do that though. They have this whole mindset of "well they dont do the same for us", so dont say or do anything about it when they suffer too" And tbh, this occurs in the black community too. There was that incident where an elderly Asian woman was beat up by 2 black teens in MN and more in NYC but the black community hasn't said anything about it either.. if everyone were to stick up for each other I feel like racism/prejudice would occur so much less.
100%
They included a variety of women in this video, and yet of course there is still people complaining they didn't use someone from where they are from lmao. Geez guys, give them a break. They can't possibly use someone from everywhere! Be glad they at least had some variety in here! A lot of other channels would of just used East Asian women and called it a day. You can't please everyone I suppose
I'm Bangladeshi and extremely happy to be represented, and tbh, they represented a good portion of underrepresented Asian ethnicities!!! they did an amazing job.
imagine having a good wifi connection like this
😌
Ayesha is so beautiful, she reminds me of the singer Jessie Reyes 😍
R J B omg I ask everyone if we look like twins and everyone says no!!! Thank you 😂 🙏🏽
Ayesha Malik Yes you do! even your voice and how independent you seemed in the video. Loved your personality!
@@AyeshaMalik most Pakistanis aren't Asian people
Loved the diversity of women chosen and loved the prompts! All these women are so beautiful and well-spoken! This was such a well-done video, I would love to hear more from these women (I don't know if there is a platform where Asian women can come together and discuss their experiences)
These are very good questions and include a diverse range of Asian women. Well done Jubilee!
Wow, they were all so respectful to one another, and the diversity was soooo good. Probably the best episode ever.
My cousins are mixed race--British father and a Thai mother. Hearing Ayesha's perspective on feeling at home in America really made me consider how my family treats them, since they were born and raised in Thailand and are much closer to that culture we've never really perceived them much as British. I think as they've gotten older we've made more of an effort to include them into both cultures and make them feel proud to be both (its kinda why we've put off calling them "half white and half asian", since we're insinuating that they're less British than their father and less Thai than their mother). Even then we're still learning and I think its interesting to listen to a lot of perspectives on this, hence why I love this channel so much.
I relate to what Ayesha says about feeling 100% home. In Belgium I’m the Albanian and when I go to Kosovo they say I’m the Belgian. But I don’t really mind. These women do be lookin good🔥
Sameeee. When i am in belgium, i'm considered portugese. However in portugal they say i'm belgian.
Same tbh! In Kosovo if they know you come from "outside" if you know what i mean, they consider you different. They even sell things more expensive, because they expect you to have a lot of money! 🙄
Same😔
Glad there's so many of us! In Portugal I'm considered Romanian, in Romanian I'm considered Portuguese. When I was a teenager I had a hard time figuring out what was I, then I realised hell I can celebrate 2 cultures
mood because i’m the Indian in Canada but im the Canadian in India
17:00 and foward was the best argument and people need to remember that we are all still in this together and we should support each other.
I love how Ragini set up the episode. Unrelated but Luguma is gorgeous
Right!? She also just seems so well put together and thoughtful.
I love how the answers were all so complete and nothing was cut out
Can we get “Do all Africans think the same?” Not only adults but kids too!
and it shouldn't just be Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya etc
Yes yes yes
And babies
@@WelaSA maybe it's because I'm biased but I always think everything is a lot more interesting with at least one outgoing Nigerian around😁😂
I wonder how some of the answers would’ve changed with Asians with American-born parents... as a second generation Asian-American I personally would’ve had different opinions for some of these. Like it would almost show maybe the “dilution” of culture as generations pass (I use dilution because that’s what it seems like to me personally). Maybe that is against the purpose of this video but I dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That is a great point! But yeah, it definitely wouldn't have served the video's concept
@Shriya Ganta Lol? The responsibility falls onto you to teach your child your culture. Marrying an American doesn't change anything.
Ooh that's interesting and may apply but honestly it would be a range too, just like here, because like Marjana and some others, many would parent the same way as their parents (for example, I probably will parent similarly to my parents because I'm really grateful for how they raised me with religion, morals, a focus on education, discipline to an extent, filiality and best of all, culture) whereas others are more... Americanized (or uh, whitewashed). which kinda saddens me. dilution is a good term to use.
I watch the FaceTiming a jubilee hater yesterday, and I can’t see how anyone hates these videos, my favorite are the odd man out but I literately love all of them
I love that they're all so gorgeous, kind, and well-versed! This was a fantastic episode because of their discussions.
Can you do, “Do all Arab Americans think the same?”
Or middle eastern since they didn't include any middle eastern in this episode
Jubilee- I love seeing the representation with women of color as of late. Black moms, Asian women- important communities to represent!! Keep up the great work
How about Black Dads? Oh wait...............
Sim ? They just did a video about black moms-

Who else got super excited when they saw Ayesha 🙋🏽♀️👩🏽🦱
Why? Is she a famous TH-camr or something along those lines or because it's a fellow Pakistani American girl
@@devonmunn5728 Yeah she is a bit famous. She's an instagram influencer with more than 150k followers but I only know her for calling out priyanka chopra on something a while back
@RedRebel2017 you are very cool
@@devonmunn5728 she had a 5 minute argument with Priyanka Chopra Jonas a while back.
@@dongpatrol1355 I see that your comment is sarcastic, though I don't think a lot of people associate her with that incident.
so happy it wasn't just "stereotypical" asian countries!! i love that they added Pakistan and Bangladesh!!
Ikr 🇧🇩
Pakistanis are middle east
girlie was right tho. I can't expect black people to help me as an asian because a lot of people in the asian community has been and STILL are racist and prejudiced against black people. i always get frustrated when some black people say hurtful comments about asians amidst the virus. i ask "how could they treat us like this when they should know how it feels to be treated this way?" then i remember all the racism and mocking of their appearance and culture that asians have done to hurt the blacks :/ neither groups are pure but asians definitely have more privileges
The whole thing is ridiculous. My group.. your group... God made us all. He didn’t create differences so we can divide and decide we’re better than someone else. It’s to show his glory and all that he can do. Covid is God’s judgement on this world. Because overall all nationals have forgotten him. So don’t look at the color of a person for why this is happening. Not a popular opinion I’m sure. But it’s a true one.
@King V Yes and I talk about that generational gap. And a lot of Black people who've had bad experiences with the older folk don't try to engage the younger people because those bad experiences cloud their judgement and then blanket us all as racist to Black people. Not trying to say anything bad about Black people. What I'm trying to say is those without Asian friends should try to make friends with Asians despite the bad experiences. And yes there is racism among Asians that needs to be addressed.
its so weird because alot of what i saw in the indian community is that they rejected other minority communities in favor of the ones in power (I.e white americans) to protect themselves and to benefit. This also led to the model minority and Indians being indirectly racist and blind to the BLM movement.
@@singmusic123 That's Asians in general.
They are such intelligent, resilient and strong women. They were so attentive of every response and understood each other so well despite the different circumstances they’re in
Thanks for including South Asians, finally I can relate
African American VS African is going to be LIT 🔥
Nope, that topic is divisive. We are different and that's fine.
@Josh Segal
It is typically the other way around.
I like how Ayesha is super witty, well-spoken, and attractive all at the same time
They all are

Am I the only one who adores the indian accent of the director?
That’s really sweet. Thank you so much!
Ragini Bhasin you have a nice voice ☺️
yes!!! so so soothing.
Ya her voice is so sweet
I think this is the best cast video so far. although they all have differing opinions they were so respectful and I also think the range of different people under one umbrella is great.
17:11 THIS IS SOME FACTS 🗣️🗣️🗣️
really enjoyed seeing this diverse spectrum feels good to see representation
GREAT JOB JUBILEE !!
Thank you for this insightful video, Jubilee, it offered me an insight on their perspective on the world, wish more content was as good as yours.
Can we all take a moment and appreciate how smart and beautiful all these women are!
Julie dropped some LITERAL bars at the end. I also really respect her bringing up the Asian communities' sometimes lack of outrage against discrimination towards other minority groups. We see you love! ❤️
to be fair, the Asian community has been quiet and accepted racism against our own community as well. model minority is a myth like stated in the video, but sometimes Asians just take the racism and go on with life. also nowadays modern Asians, like Julie for example and i'm sure all the lovely ladies in the video, stand up to their family over racist or colorist remarks. that being said, everything she said is still true -- in America at least, because South Asians fought alongside black people in England and South Africa
i actually cant be the only one who wants to be Ragini(the director)'s friend lol... She seems like such a genuinely nice person... Those are hard to find
yessss!!
Do all stuntmen/extreme acts people think the same? I’d be really interested to see that!
I appreciate this discussion a lot :) I’m not Asian myself, but I love being able to hear different perspectives from within the community. Would have loved a question addressing colorism and anti blackness as well!
As as asian, I wouldn't say that asians are anti black, they are anti anyone who isn't them, even other asians
@Zceve40 I agreee. Asians are inclusive to fellow Asians but if you're non-Asian I understand why things tend to get a little different, but that does not mean Asian people hate black people or whatever. I
And about colorism, that is something very cultural and it tends to be more about social status than racism, here, fair skin is seen as "rich" while tanned or uneven skin are seen as "poor", it's more into a historical context of nobility and peasants. But, that doesn't make it right. I think in 21st Century Asia, such perception still exist but I'm fortunate to witness that there are many people who reject the perception and start accepting themselves for who they are.
I love what Julie said in the end about other POC stepping up to help protect Asians during this time. Although we should all be looking out for each other the reality is that black people have always been looking out for the other poc but it usually doesn't get reciprocated. And for her to acknowledge that was really impressive.
all i have to say is *YES JULIE!!!* *SPEAK FACTSS*
I have a big problem with people using the term "model minority". I have never known any Asians ever describing themselves with that term. That is a term that is cast onto Asians by racist people and people who want to twist our experience for their benefit.
I hate "People of Color" as well, coming from an Asian country where I grew up from a race native and a majority to Southeast Asia, I never felt myself as if I'm a colored person or a minority or whatever. I think that POC thing is very white-centric and the term is basically connotes being "White and the Others".
@@hwfq34fajw9foiffawdiufhuaiwfhw I know right? I think Americans think POC is more respectful when they just arranged the words hahaha. that's why I never identify myself as colored or POC because it's such a white-centric thing to say. I'm Asian who grew up and still lives in Asia so I never felt the need to identify myself as colored, nor even identify my race based on the color of my skin. It's such an American thing for me, and it just got popular because Americans used it? Imo..
