Se volete aiutarmi con I sottotitoli italiani, ecco il link: bit.ly/2hWjViw | Over time I feel like my purpose on this platform has been changing and lately I really feel like my purpose on here is to help Italian voices be heard to a wider international audience. That being said, today's guests are my friends Micah and Giuliana! Giuliana's parents are from China and Micah's from the Philippines. Today we're talking about what it's like growing up as part of one of Italy's largest ethnic minority groups the Asian community. Micah and Giuliana are both born and raised Milanese so I'd really love to encourage other asian voices from around the peninsula to share their experiences in the comments, we want to hear your opinions!
5:12 LOL
Giuliana is very pretty.
12:07 That is very true. That's why when the ones who don't speak the language fluently want to compare their experience to the ones who do, it's not possible.
15:55 well in America, you have to adapt to the black culture.
These videos are cool. Are interesting to anyone.
è così bello vedere così tante ragazze dai tratti somatici esotici, molto belle siete
+SandroDream Forse io non essendo un morto di figa come te, e avendo una ragazza italiana, non apprezzo queste straniere?
As a black girl watching, it’s very nice to hear their experience
Sono nata in Italia, ho ottenuto la cittadinanza per richiesta e sono figlia di immigrati Filippini residenti in Italia da 20 anni. Molti mi dicono "ormai sei Italiana" oppure "non hai una mentalità filippina". Io nonostante sia cresciuta in Italia e abbia visitato le Filippine, faccio ancora fatica a identificarmi in una nazionalità o nelll'altra . Dalla scuola materna alle medie i miei compagni o coetanei non hanno mai guardato al mio aspetto,a differenza degli insegnanti, che di conseguenza, si approcciavano in maniera diversa. Noto adesso che ci sia più integrazione nelle scuole, che è il punto di partenza per dare vita a una società nel rispetto delle varie culture e in cui ci sia la piena integrazione delle minoranze.
They both have a mixture of Italian and their ethnic language accents when speaking English, which I love. To me they lean more towards a their Chinese/Filipino accent when speaking English.
SingDea yeah I have a lot of Chinese friends and many of my friend’s moms are Chinese immigrants and they speak very similarly to Juliana
Yeah I noticed that too.
As an Italian I can assure you that I only hear a super classical Italian accent in them
that's a mandarin accent and tagalog accent
I've been here for almost 30 year's, my daughter is almost 20 and an Italian citizen. As experienced, I tried my best growing my girl integrating her to the community and so far she's fine and most of her friends are all Italian or half Italian. The thing is that she can't speak our native language but she does understand. My husband and I had been working hard and that we preferred staying home on Sunday's than going to the park where most of the Filipino community gather for fun and encounter . That's one reason why my girl is not that close to other Filipino kids but as time passed she had Filipino classmates and everything's fine. She goes along with what ever the country they're from. Sometimes the word integrate comes in depending how you feel it fit's. I hear a lot of my friends complaining some times regarding how the Italians treat them, I don't argue with them cause I can see how they are set on the that point. What I mean is that every time we get hurt or humiliated in either way's we feel like we're not part of the circle, this was how i felt years ago when I didn't understand the Italian culture. It took time for me to understand and when I did my best to learn and read the Italian language then I slowly understood every gesture and actions of how they communicate which was the key for me to understand. Regarding of the usual curiosity and sometimes just some joking questions, for me I just try my best in telling them what is what. The world is big and not everybody has the time to read all traditions and cultures of every country. Just like in my country not everybody knows the difference between Italian, French or Spanish. I chose Italy as my second country and I integrated myself living just like a normal Italian would live. We do have to know them first, then share our culture and difference for them to understand too. PEACE TO ALL
Gurls don't ever feel inferior! I'm sorry if you ever felt different or excluded, I'm glad I got to grow up with an open mind and knowing people from all over the place, I actually don't really like "the Italian way" and don't feel really comfortable with the typical Italian mindset. Plus, I'm a ginger Caucasian Italian and kids still didn't want to play with me. You're all great and should feel proud of your identity, with all its stories and origins.
(Grazie del video!)
i'm a 17 year old chinese indonesian about to venture to italy for university, and thank God i found this video because it really showed me an insight about how it is to be chinese (well, part chinese in my case!) in italy. i'm glad chinese people don't get subdued to as much racism as we would in france (from my experience). i'm just happy that i found this video, it really helped me calm my nerves and anxities. i'm about two-ish years late, but thanks Tia!
In America there are a lot of 2nd and even 3rd generation Asians.
In Italy you can only find Asians who directly come from Asia or 1st generation Asians who are born in Italy.
In america they are more open minded and they integrate easily because they're born in america and feel very much American.
In Italy it's rare to find Asian people who are very well integrated.
In 15 to 20 years from now the situation will be different.
The most important fact is when people talk the same language their actual appearance start becoming less and less important.
Not only fluently talking the language show you are one of their group but show you have a serious investment in the group.
Often you will see the same cautiousness of a northern italian when he meet a unknown southern italian with an heavy accent and a loud attitude.
After they know YOU things change.
Injustice is treating equals differently and treating dis-equals the same.
I am so happy about this video! I am only half italian and i can relate in part to what your asian guests were saying. We live in the centre of rome and my sons go to school with lots of Filippino, Chinese and Indonesian friends. I really hope that people will get more used to a multicultural society you are amazing!
Silvia Etna We need more people like you
I'm an Afro-American in NY and they thought I was my daughter's nanny THIRTY years ago
And I could NOT speak to my parents or elders any way I wanted. My kids cannot be disrespectful to me.
Robin Smith same
I guess it all depends on perspectives xD When I say my immigrant parents were STRICT I mean when I was younger we couldn't celebrate certain non-christian holidays (i.e. halloween), my AA friends were encouraged to play sports, even as a way to a college career, whereas me and my friends with foreign parents were pushed to 'just' study. In my house my mom would side eye me if I brought home A-s instead of As and certain career paths outside of medicine or law were just out of the question. Oh and tattoos and piercings? My mom said we could do that 'foolishness' once we got out of her house but we snuck around and got them anyways xD As we got older we say my mom got more 'americanized' and my younger siblings didn't grow up under this kind of stress but I definitely got the impression that my AA friends were more 'free' under certain aspects. That being said I know in general black parents are supposed to be stricter than white parents in the US but I'm telling you foreign parents are on something else completely
I know that in philippines they don't eat rabbit. In italy, at least in center italy, is a common food. My gf is filipina and when i said her that my mother prepared rabbit for dinner her face was weird. I ask why she had that face and she told me that.
I started watching your videos a couple of days ago out of the curiosity about "femicide" in Italy, and I've been binge watching so many of them ever since. Your videos are really insightful, and as an Asian person, it's super interesting to hear what the Asian immigrants' experiences are in Italy. Keep up the good work :))
I denti di Tia sono più bianchi del concetto stesso di colore bianco :O Devo aggiungerlo ai miei life goals
Remp oddio l'ho notato anch'io e ho pensato "that is SO American" haha
bahahahahahah thanks guys 😁 I love my freakishly white American teeth xD
Excellent interview, Tia! Have you thought of becoming a journalist for a digital media company? You have good ideas for segments, you're a great listener and ask insightful questions. (You could be the next Oprah Winfrey!)
Linda Adams I agree with you!! :-)
ahahah I haven't actually 😅
Yes Tia I can totally see you doing this
Tia has the best interviews of all time on youtube!
Great and informative video! 💕 I really enjoyed your friends/guests as well.
Tia you make the most interesting and most insightful videos!
I'm a Filipina, born in Rome & raised in the Philippines. E lo stato mi riconosce come Italiana. Aaaand the comment sections would say they don't see Asians working in an Italian company or going to Italian clubs etc. And that we don't associate with other nationalitied. I just want to clear that not all of us are like that. I have a group of Italian (and other nationalities) friends and also Filipinos. I like going to Italian events. I love everything about Italy (except ATAC ovviamente)
Maria Alessia Mallari i tuoi genitori di dove sono?
julrise mia madre sta in Italia con me. Mio padre è un angelo che mi guarda da 10 anni ♡
julrise e mio padre da Pampanga e mia madre da Tarlac che si trovano nell'isola delle Filippine!
Maria Alessia Mallari sicuramente e sarà anche fiero
Maria Alessia Mallari ma sono venuti qui tanto tempo fa immagino..scusa per le domande ma è per capire visto come funziona l'acquisizione della cittadinanza italiana
Interesting video, thanks. I am an Italian living in China, with a Chinese wife and a little baby girl, almost 3 years old. Here in China everybody likes my baby girl because she looks "different" (mixed blood) but she can speak Chinese. Now, we are moving back to Italy this summer. I am afraid my daughter will meet a few more problems in Italy. Of course, as her dad is Italian she is more "mixed" than the Chinese girl in the video. What I will try to do is to let her be with both Italians and Chinese, learn both cultures and try to understand that even though a bit confusing, we are trying to give her the opportunity to be more "rich" in terms of culture.
Also in north Italy frogs are a traditional dish!
pile333 And in Piedmont they eat snails too as in France...
Right. European and italian food is very kaleidoscopic and permeable and sometimes there are some disputes about who invented what; it happens also with some wines (the Tokai wine, for example).
pile333 Il Tokai è ungherese e capisco che gli ungheresi ne difendano l'origine, ma "dimenticano" selettivamente che nel 1200, 1300 il regno d'Ungheria per un certo tempo ebbe sovranità pure su terre del Friuli Venezia Giulia, e dell'Istria dove il Tokai si produce ancora oggi...
No, it's just in france
Hey I am from HK and people here (not me though) eat frogs too
Bellissima rubrica Tia! Sei un'ottima intervistatrice 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This video is so helpful and I loved watching it so much being from Spain (which I believe it's pretty similar to Italy) since I never had any asian friends here and it's so interesting to see how they feel here. Thanks for this!
I was so shocked upon arriving in Italy and seeing the number of Asians in Italy. I enjoyed this video. Watching again as if I am seeing it for the first time.
Great video! Its always so interesting to hear different perspectives within the diaspora of people of colour!
Non vorrei farti preoccupare Tia, ma anche in Italia si mangiano rane e lumache... 🐸🐌
😂😅
Come italiano... Posso dire di non saperlo
LoL
@@thatsaysalotabout-man9547 Ti dirò di più, per quanto riguarda le lumache io ho conosciuto persone che le mangiavano addirittura crude.
Vero, nella mia regione (Friuli) c'è una festa che si chiama "sagra delle rane" e credo si capisca già dal nome cosa si mangia in questa sagra.
La comunità asiatica in Italia si è sicuramente sempre distinta per due cose: 1. essere grandissimi e instancabili lavoratori 2. essere abbastanza "schivi". eheh :) Posso capire l'attaccamento alla propria cultura, ma a mio parere è difficile considerare una persona integrata al 200% finché questa non considera sullo stesso piano amici asiatici e amici italiani (o fidanzati). Mi dispiace sentire che nonostante siano italiane non si sentano a casa in Italia. Mi fa venire in mente il mio periodo passato in Francia. Ricordo che le italiane che vivevano in quella zona si riunivano tutte insieme e parlavano tutti italiano. Come volessero vivere nella loro "bolla" culturale. Io invece provavo ad "evitare" gli italiani, volendomi immergere completamente nella cultura francese. Sarà sicuramente una eccezione la mia, però appunto fare una scelta di vita che ti porta dall'altra parte del mondo dovrebbe implicare anche questo sforzo in più, almeno per me. Altrimenti si rischia di vivere tutti in piccole "bolle" separate, no?:)
Alice Righi è esattamente per questo che capisco chi non vuole lo ius soli, essere italiani è anche un fattore culturale, ci sono persone etnicamente asiatiche e africane nate qui integrate benissimo ma ce ne sono tante che non hanno un briciolo della nostra cultura e parlano la nostra lingua poco e male, come si fa a considerarli italiani? Sarei ben felice di dare la cittadinanza a una persona con famiglia straniera ma solo se questa fosse davvero integrata nella nostra cultura, cosa che per molti non è, quindi non è giustissimo dargli automaticamente la cittadinanza perché nati qui secondo me.
Alice Righi sono d'accordo con te, io vivo in UK e trovo cosí ridicoli gli Italiani che "cercano" altri Italiani. Come se poi avessero la certezza che se sei Italiano allora sei una brava persona (??).
Io uguale. Sono un filippino da 10 anni qui in Italia e ho scelto di allontanarmi dai miei connazionali e sinceramente mi sento più di essere a casa qui in Italia che nelle Filippine. Integrarsi vuol dire questo, ma capisco le altre persone che vogliono stare di più con i loro connazionali. Il contro di questa scelta? Mi manca da morire il cibo filippino. Prima lo disprezzavo. Adesso è il contrario, ho iniziato ad odiare la pizza e la piadina romagnola. XD
@@mcm_cn1222 scusa ma ho messo il pollice verso solo per il forza lazio XD
Alice Righi
Molti li considerano “furbi”, “commercianti”, come considerano anche i nordafricani...
hey Tia, an Indonesian subscriber here! my case is a little bit different. I'm Chinese-Indonesian, but my Chinese ancestors had settled in Indonesia and assimilate for quite some times. But I feel uprooted from my Chinese heritage since Chinese culture, Chinese names, Confucians were banned during dictatorship regime in the past. ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrimination_against_Chinese_Indonesians )
I do feel racism at some point in my life, it is subtle but it's there. In one town more prominent than the other. also intertwined with difference in religions & wealth / social gap as well. (Some natives think we stole "their" resources etc, but.. we're Indo citizen too?)
But then again some people in Chinese-Indonesian community also prefer to live in their own bubble. it's a rather complicated situation.
Eh I rant too much, but I hope it gives you the big picture :)
Well..there is a city in China, Yulin,in which is held an annual festival completely dedicated to dog meat
Like Vicenza
ando wayer biasutti mmmh delicious
Mirco Romanato I swear, there isn't any dog meat festival in Vicenza! 🤣
Tia, adoro i tuoi video! So che forse quello che sto per dire per qualcuno potrebbe non essere molto carino ma faccio un esempio personale: nel mio paesino del sud italia ci sono molti più asiatici rispetto ad altre minoranze e hanno molti negozi e ristoranti. è comune dire "l'ho trovato dai cinesi" o " vai da cinesi" perché hanno il monopolio di un certo tipo di negozi che tutti usano perché ci puoi trovare di tutto e sebbene siano così presenti nella vita quotidiana perché li vedi dappertutto (solo nella mia strada ci sono sei di questi negozi) e la gente li accetta e non si fa molti problemi, non è facile incontrarli fuori in altri contesti. Ho visto molti altri commenti che dicevano la stessa cosa perché in effetti credo sia questo il problema. Da quando vivo a Bologna ho conosciuto tante persone di tante nazionalità diverse e ho fatto tante amicizie però continuo a notare questa sorta di auto segregazione involontaria (o forse non tanto). Ovviamente è una mia esperienza personale, ma mi chiedevo come mai è così semplice, in un contesto più grande di un paesino, fare amicizia con nigeriani, marocchini o mussulmani in genere, con i veneti (che se vieni dal sud è come dire aver fatto amicizia con un alieno) ma non trovare occasioni nemmeno per fare conoscenza con un asiatico? Non so, ecco.
Parlo per mia esperienza. Sono un filippino ma sono a parte perché a differenza degli altri, mi sono segregato dai miei connazionali. Fortunatamente a Ravenna ci sono pochi filippini. Ma sentendo altri filippini qui in Italia ci sono vari motivi: 1) 2 ragazze mi hanno detto che nella sua scuola gli italiani sono troppo immaturi per loro. Anche gli italiani che hanno amici filippini hanno notato la differenza.
2) se ci sono troppo filippini in un posto, stanno fra di loro. Questo però vale anche per tutti, anche per gli Italiani. Ad esempio qui a Ravenna, tanti meridionali stanno fra di loro perché dicono che si fa fatica a fare amicizia con i ravennati. Una coppia di Genova, dopo anni a Ravenna hanno deciso di vendere le loro case a Ravenna perché si sono lamentati dalla mentalità dei ravennati. Infatti sono molto solari, mentre i ravennati hanno tendenza di essere chiusi. Ecco questa cosa vale per i filippini. Secondo me la filippina media, in confronto di un italiano medio, è più solare, aperto e amichevole che quando vanno qui in Italia fanno fatica ad adattarsi e credono che gli italiani sono freddi. Io che ho quasi tutti amici italiani mi sento fortunato di aver imparato bene la lingua. Anch'io all'inizio mi sentivo così sopratutto quando parlavo poco l'italiano. Venendo da un paese dove la gente è PIÙ sorridente, solare e più tollerante, questa cosa all'inizio mi ha fatto sentire un po' fuori luogo. Adesso, mi sono integrato fortunatamente. Ora sono un ragazzo acido, razzista anche a quello che sta nel paesino vicino, poco sorridente, e si indigna ad ogni piccola cosa, anche solo per il fatto che il cane del mio vicino ha pisciato per terra vicino a casa mia invece di farlo pisciare per terra nel parco per i cani 1km da noi.
I related a lot to what the girl was saying about feeling like you kind of betrayed your parents’ culture. My mom is from Mexico and my dad is white American, I was born and raised in the US but we tried to visit Mexico as often as possible and my mom raised us with the language and culture. But obviously there’s a lot I don’t know about Mexican culture or history or even just vocabulary because I’m in a country where I’m a minority. Visiting Mexico is always amazing but it can be weird because as Mexican as I feel I am, it’s always glaringly obvious that I didn’t grow up there. I’m a minority in the US but I’m also a minority in Mexico, and while I consider both my home it’s like I have something to prove in both places.
Like always thanks a lot for talking about this. Can you also bring people from South Asia like Bangladesh and India. There are a lot of issues to bring light to.
Tia what you say in this video is crucial to understand how people treat nationality in Italy (well progressive people at least). It's all about the culture! And this is why they wanted to name the last nationality law "ius culturae" (law of the culture). And this according to me is a very big difference between usa and Italy. This works for me too, if I'm looking at someone and judging if he's Italian or not, I notice: 1.how well he speaks the language 2.use of Italian gestures 3.knowledge and use of Italian cuisine (I'm not joking) 4.if I'm home in the south, knowledge of dialect 5.if he's well dressed, +1 point.
So I think that if you really want to be an Italian you can't really be anything else, where you can perfectly be American and Jamaican altogether. Being Italian and Chinese at the same time? Very difficult, I think at the end you have to choose.
And I think this is true in all of Europe in some degrees (well except in eastern Europe where there would be a 6.Be cristian- or at least it seems so)
It is not difficult being italian, and it is not difficult being chinese or american, or filipino or any other nationality. Difficult is being italian born here with italian culture but WITHOUT italian heritage, and at the same time keep memory and culture of your parents nationality and culture without drop it.
Italo-americans drop italian culture and just preserved some aspects, and italo-american way to speak and to make food is a very pale image of the original italian ones.
I hope that modern immigrants from other countries in italy could preserve their original culture thanks to internet, communication and new technologies.
If you're a non-White you are easily recognizable and you will never be taken as an Italian or European no matter how well you speak the language and the various dialects. Not even in a thousand of years. This is for sure.
11:48 idem qua. Io sono bengalese italiana ma alle elementari mi ricordo che nessuna delle mie compagne di classe voleva giocare con me e alla fine finivo per giocare con altre bengalesi di classi più piccole. Solo dietro la spinta delle maestre che hanno iniziato a giocare ma anche lì le prese in giro non finivano mai. Del tipo "ma tu dormi con quei vestiti addosso?" solo perché i miei vestiti odoravano di curry. Oppure ogni volta che portavo del cibo bengalese dovevo mangiare di nascosto e super veloce perché avevano sempre qualcosa da ridire perché era "strano", a detta loro. Ero pure arrivata ad odiare mia madre perché mi dava cibo bengalese e non quello italiano.
Rai Kai ma crescendo la situazione è migliorata?
Paghi il prezzo di essere immigrata di seconda generazione. Per i tuoi figli sarà diverso. Ci siamo passati anche noi italiani...
Quando sarà il momento sarai tu a dover organizzare la giornata bengalese a scuola e far assaggiare cibo indiano ai compagni di scuola dei tuoi figli.
Adesso la situazione sta migliorando, io credo che da qui a 1 anno dovrai prepararti a decine di persone che chiedono di fare piatti del tuo paese e che ti chiedono della tua cultura.
In università secondo me cambia. Io mi sono pentito di non aver imparato di cucinare cibo filippino. I miei amici sono curiosi di assaggiarli ma io non sono capace di farli. Al massimo provo cose diverse di altre cucine etniche visto che anche a me piace assaggiare cose diverse.
Credimi!Cambiera'
I’m studying chinese at high school so I want to thank you Tia for gettino to know more about asian in Italy😘
Love your videos, I am an Italian Who has been living abroad for the last 20 years so I missed all the immigration wave(s) and imagine my surprise when last year around Christmas I witnessed a tough "discussion" between two very well dressed teenager girls ( With complete typical Italian arm waiving) one black and another one Chinese looking, taking place in my... dialect... I turned to my mum and I said: what have I missed?
@user-he3by8ut3m yeah, there are also way too many Brits :))
@user-he3by8ut3mThe world is diverse.
2:09 Yes, fairly recently a culinary expert even got into hot water when he talked about that.
People also eat snails in Piedmont.
bellissimo video, grazie tia
Bravissima per la positività e la condivisione, studiare e domandarsi sulle diverse realtà non ci fa che crescere per un mondo più sveglio e consapevole. Sei simpaticissima e bellissima, un bacione😘🙆💙
forse non molto per i filippini, ma per quanto riguarda i cinesi penso per tutti in generale in Italia sia considerato strano che nonostante facciano parte della categoria più grande di stranieri siano anche i più difficile da avvicinare. Ecco perché quando vedono Juliana parlare italiano corretto la gente si stupisce. perché nella strada grande Maggioranza non succede. Io abito a Roma in una zona molto centrale e trafficata e nonostante ci siano tantissimi cinesi, al massimo oltre i luoghi di lavoro o supermercati non li vedi più e mai in compagnia di persone non cinesi e raramente parlano italiano. Sinceramente e lo dico da persona straniera che ne ha ricevuti parecchi di pregiudizi solo per il paese da dove vengo (Albania) non mi sembra di aver mai sentito tanti pareri negativi sui cinesi tranne la loro mancanza di voglia di integrarsi che per forza di cose crea un muro.
Si dice che in Veneto mangiassero i gatti probabilmente durante la guerra.Una considerazione:non è un po’ strano dire di essere italiani e allo stesso tempo di non ritenere come possibile sposo/a un italiano?Le comunità asiatiche sono molto chiuse e ciò non giova proprio ai suoi membri.
Also in Lombardy is common to eat frogs, especially if you go in areas around big rivers like Po, Adda or Ticino. I did it several times. They are good :--)
I love filippino people I grew up with this idea of them being so kind and sweet 🙌🏼✨
lover this video!
I grew up in Australia with Filipino immigrant parents and am about to sit my uni entrance exam for Italian tomorrow so this was a weirdly fitting video to my life rn hahah , thank you guys for this, I've been considering moving to Italy in the future and this gave really interesting insight ^-^ x
Are u still considering to move to Italy? :)
Ehi Tia! Why don't you make a video as to what it means being Romanian in Italy? Video interessantissimi , continua così😘
It's on my list of videos to do :D
Yeah it would be amazing! And about Eastern europeans in Italy in general
Simone, romania and italy is the same family , culture , blood, italy love romania , romania love italy , is a order 🇮🇹♥️🇷🇴forever insieme.
Even when I was a child I never believed stereotypical things italian say since my mom never ever talked sh*t about different ethnicities & a lot of her friends are not native italians. If I want to know something about different cultures I just ask 🤷... and then I "share" cause, really, I'm Sicilian and we got some strange habits too. Ok, a lot of strange habits.
One thing I'm really scared of is for my friends to be mistreated cause they don't look like Italians (or they are not). I thought it was so distant, I couldn't believe it can actually happen, but then... my best friend told me she was yelled at on the bus and other racist things and my heart fell a little.
I am albanian and I'm the first who does "stereotypical jokes" about albanians and east europeans in general. They're funny 'cause they're dumb, that's the whole point, there is no offense taken.
And the "light skin and big eyes are more attractive" theme in Asia was always very prominent even before commercial interchanges with Europe, we've never been that relevant there anyways. Asia has always had the most relevant economy throughout human history and many European philosophers such as Voltaire and Rousseau really looked uo to the Chinese and Mogul (India) empire. This huge influence of the European culture and the economic control of the west is a pretty recent thing since it only started in the second half of the 19th century.
Like I said, we were never that relevant.
Shooketh af Albania is third world. Eastern Europe isn’t included in Europe’s success and prominence in the world, only west Europe
I once met an Albanian guy who looked Puerto Rican.

Non ti seguo!
La Russia coi suoi grandissimi scrittori ed i suoi matematici e scienziati, la Polonia con Copernico e Chopin, non ti dicono niente?
Senti a me, se ti prendono ricomincia dalle elementari!
First of all, you are all beautiful girls. It is nice to see you speaking up about your experience in Italy. I'm an Italian living abroad and I'm happy to see minorities enhance Italian culture, society, and its mindset. I wish for a more diverse Italy.
I'm Italian living in the US and I occasionally visit my family in Italy. Every time I go back, my Italian feels rusty and it takes me few weeks to readjust completely to my mother language. This is the time in which I have experienced the Italian close-mindedness and judgment from my fellows co-nationals. Do not get discouraged by these ignorants. You all have a fantastic identity and culture to share and help Italy to become more cohesive and multicultural.
la città in cui si mangiavano i gatti é la mia Vicenza! Ahahah
Veneziani, gran siori; Padovani, gran dotori; Vicentini, magnagati; Veronesi, tuti mati; Trevisani, pan e tripe; Rovigòti, baco e pipe. E Belun? Póro Belun, te se proprio de nisun!».
A quanto dice Bigazzi se cerchi il ristorante giusto a Vicenza, quella specialità felina si può ancora gustare... LoL! 🙀😿🍗🍽️
Antichissima filastrocca!
ahhhh ok 😅 When I visit someday I'll be attentive at the menus 😂♥
Tia Taylor That's not on the menu. You must be an acquaintance and ask it silently, with a wink...
nice! it would also be cool if u interviewed people from other parts of asia like middle easterns
Secondo me non si parla molto degli asiatici in italia perché la maggior parte non sembra molto integrata nella società, nel senso che frequentano quasi soltanto altri asiatici, lavorano di solito in posti a gestione familiare come negozi o ristoranti e parlano nella loro lingua, quindi non so, mi sembra che sono loro stessi i primi a isolarsi. Ah poi un'altra cosa strana è che non si vedono mai in giro tipo la sera nei locali... Io sto in una piccola città comunque, magari nelle grandi città è diverso.
Hese Ever Non so dove vivi tu ma io li vedo in giro a fare la spesa e le passeggiate. Molto spesso... ah e lavoro in un supermercato.
lol there are a lot of asians in my neighborhood so I see them all the time xD
Tia Taylor so che sai l italiano parlalo non capisco!😂
In alcune regioni ci sono meno stranieri, per esempio a roma ci sono molti filippini. Gli asiatici non sono ancora ben integrati in Italia, ma spero che in futuro lo saranno.
Io sono filippina e ho molti amici italiani e spesso usciamo insieme al centro.
+vien kyla crisanto ma gli italiani (almeno i non beta-males) non vogliono stranieri sul loro territorio...perchè cazzo una filippina dovrebbe stare in Italia? Nelle Filippine ci sono gli italiani che rompono il cazzo? Non credo, giusto?
Most Filipinos I know usually work in the medical field
Great info Tia! 3 very beautiful girls!
Hi tia! I was the mother-toungue girl at the snack news presentation and even if you don't remember me I just wanted to say that ya are awesomee
I think Chinese people like to hold on to tradition and keep everything Chinese, and because of it, many people will not associate with the Chinese people. They feel Chinese people are ignorant are closed-minded of other peoples cultures. When they try to stay separated it causes misunderstandings and mistrust; even if the Chinese people feel they are doing the cultural right thing.
Chinese forms Chinatown every where they go. They are the biggest minority group in Vietnam. Most have been there for hundreds years, and still refuse to assimilate.
Now both Milanese soccer teams are owned by Chinese. I suppose times are changing
Sergio Adami Ci svendiamo anche le mutande tra poco
valenesco45 quello l'abbiamo già fatto visto che sono Made in China :)
Sergio Adami Siamo fottuti.
Sergio Adami comprare o non comprare il milan sono la stessa cosa... I giocatori non cambiano, su wikipedia la fondazione non cambiera in quello cinese! Semplicemente che ora i giocatori vengono pagati di piu non vi hanno cambiato la vita eh
angelo del ccag a me anche se i care armati di Pechino invadono piazza del Duomo niente cambia vivendo da vent’anni all’estero. Però il livello percettivo di un gruppo etnico cambia quando i rapporti economici si modificano
this video is good!so funny and interesting
Thank to the three of you.
Ciao, your Asian friends speak good English. How did they learn it so well. I am a Catholic Missionary here in New Jersey, USA and need to speak Spanish and Italian fluently.Any language learning tips? Great channel.
jerry bauer Dive into the language man. Try downloading Ankidroid (search it up first). And in the case of filipinos it's the medium of instruction of every school in the country.
Siete dolcissime ragazze, è stato un piacere vedervi. Grazie per l'intrattenimento, baci a tutte.
Ragazze, visto che spiegare lo ius soli alla generazione di italiani sui 50 anni (circa) è molto difficile, secondo me questo video sarebbe molto più utile in italiano, senza bisogno di sottotitoli.
So che è una scocciatura girare di nuovo ma potrebbe essere davvero importante mostrare che queste ragazze nonostante l’aspetto siano italiane, perché per esempio i miei genitori non se ne rendono conto. Sarebbe anche molto bello che nel video ci fosse anche una ragazza con genitori italiani in modo da confrontarsi sugli stereotipi più comuni. Perché finché lo scambio di idee e opinioni è “unilaterale” diciamo la parte più conservatrice dell’italia continuerà a ignorare e negare il problema.
Grazie per questi video. Un abbraccio
Primo commento ❤️ love you
My word of advice to your friends: Be grounded in your roots. Know who you are and be confident that what you present to the world in the way of talent and personality, is your valuable contribution to the betterment of all. Think and accept everyone as equal to you -- not less than you and not higher than you. When you can walk into the world with groundedness and confidence then all around will begin to relax, accept and bask in the gifts that your uniqueness brings to colour the world with brilliance. 😉😚***Asteri***🌺🌿
Asteri ETERNAL questo è il migliore commento di sempre! Hai ragione su tutto!
Concordo toto core...
Interesting topic! I enjoyed watching this. I wonder how the Latino community is like, if there is one, in Italy.
Siete tre bellissime ragazze! I live in Canada and grew up with Chinese, they’re hard working people and mind their own business. Here too there’s a certain belief that Chinese eat cats, dogs and rats. As for people from the Philippines we also have a fair size community, many come here to work as nurses and a large number of women come to work as nanny’s or care givers for the elderly. These women are much sought after for their kindness and caring nature... we hired one in our family and she’s absolutely lovely. I am Italian born and raised I’d have to say that the majority of Italians are not prejudiced...you have to understand that until the 80’s Italy was all Italian. I remember when I came to Canada as a pre-teen and saw the first black person, I stated not because I was prejudiced but because I couldn’t get over how beautifully white her teeth were. I also remember seeing the first East Indian Woman dressed in her traditional clothing in Rome airport and I stared not because I was bothered.by her color or dress but because I was amazed by her look.
Here in Florence one of the typical dishes is "lampredotto" which is the Abomasum, the forth stomach of the cow. Usualy eaten in a sandwich! ^_^

I've tried it, it was good
Mi garba di più il panino con la trippa. Mamma mia ogni domenica lo mangiavo in questo posto vicino a casa di Dante a Firenze. Bei tempi!
There are lots of Capeverdeans in Italy. We go back to more than 50 years immigrating to Italy. In fact, it was the Italians who built the first airport in Cape Verde 🇨🇻 almost 80 years ago 🙄 furthermore, lots of Ethiopians and Somalians also migrated there as domestic workers like many Capeverdean women did. We are in many other European countries such as Portugal, France, Holland, Spain etc.
That's right, Tia! Get your kids a white, blonde nanny! :-)))
😂😂 breaking stereotypes one at a time
i have just a curiosity about juliana (the chinese). what region are your parents from? i would like to visit south-east china, are you from anywhere near there or from the north? (like manciuria or something). if you have a youtibe channel where you speak about china and so on I would gladly watch it.
being both filipino and chinese this is so funnily relatable to me 😭
(im not italian but i wanted to know how the climate was like for asians bcs i wanna work there eventually!!)
can I know if they kept their Filipino/Chinese nationality or decided to become Italian citizens?
Can you do a video please Indian in Italy
I watched many video of Sikhs in Italy. The community is really active. They made also videos of Sikhs who fought in Italy in WWII as allied troops. Indu Indians interviews will be interesting to see...
Yes, they also are part of the Asian-Italian community.
Thank you!
I has a co-worker, 100% italian from many generations, and she is a clean up maniac (in the good sense) and she say she relax when washing dishes and ironing.
Guess what!!! Everyone joke with her about going their home to iron and wash dishes and cleaning up home.
Io ho molti amici asiatici nella mia città .. studiavo lingue orientali . però concordo con chi dice che tendono a stare per conto loro (specialmente la comunità cinese anche di seconda generazione) mentre è più facile stranamente fare amicizia con chi viene da fuori e arriva qui per studiare o per lavoro, fermo restando che il primo passo lo devi comunque prima fare te e se si ha pazienza si formano delle belle amicizie.
Io sono cresciuta avendo contatti con altre culture già dalle elementari (parlo da romana di Roma doc), ma noto la difficoltà ad esempio delle generazioni prima delle mie ad approcciarsi con cinesi, filippini, romeni... chiunque insomma.
Credo sarebbe bello invece se chi ha culture diverse da quella italiana cercasse di farci avvicinare alle loro. Adoravo parlare con una mia amica filippina del Paese da cui veniva, per dire: era un modo per conoscerla di più invece che alzare un muro.
I was in the playground with my son and another filipino thought I was my son's nanny as he's half italian. We judge our own, lol.
You ladies are awesome. Salvini is pissed off about this. But I love it. Keep it coming Italy. We need much more immigration. Awesome and build more restaurant's love chinese food
Yes keep it coming to Italy we do need a lot more immigrants they are billing communities of there beautiful culture
And marrying Italian woman
wow !!!Italiano i love this country.
1:30 that particular stereotype often (sadly) expands to the whole of Asian countries, especially the east side where there are more mongoloid type of people.
With the exception of India and their neighboring countries just because more caucasoid type of people living there.
In Ligury and Piedmont we eat snails and frogs, too.
very interesting video and great girls!
Plot twist: I'M ITALIAN! (It happens to me all the time! 😅) ps. I love your videos Tia! ❣️
Did you know that some Koreans too live in milan?
I dont get it, how some people don't want to be near a "stranger". For me as I grow up, I had that felling that its an experience that I must have, to know and learn more about their culture their customs and views on almost every aspect of life. Trying to be in their shoes would help a lot to understand their fears and connect with the "new home" country.
Honestly I learned so much by befriending people from different cultures, with different values and different backgrounds. It's one of the thing I love about the place I live, it's so diverse and people don't care. We just blend together with the people we get along with.
Parlo per mia esperienza. Sono un filippino ma sono a parte perché a differenza degli altri, mi sono segregato dai miei connazionali. Fortunatamente a Ravenna ci sono pochi filippini. Ma sentendo altri filippini qui in Italia ci sono vari motivi: 1) 2 ragazze mi hanno detto che nella sua scuola gli italiani sono troppo immaturi per loro. Anche gli italiani che hanno amici filippini hanno notato la differenza.
2) se ci sono troppo filippini in un posto, stanno fra di loro. Questo però vale anche per tutti, anche per gli Italiani. Ad esempio qui a Ravenna, tanti meridionali stanno fra di loro perché dicono che si fa fatica a fare amicizia con i ravennati. Una coppia di Genova, dopo anni a Ravenna hanno deciso di vendere le loro case a Ravenna perché si sono lamentati dalla mentalità dei ravennati. Infatti sono molto solari, mentre i ravennati hanno tendenza di essere chiusi. Ecco questa cosa vale per i filippini. Secondo me la filippina media, in confronto di un italiano medio, è più solare, aperto e amichevole che quando vanno qui in Italia fanno fatica ad adattarsi e credono che gli italiani sono freddi. Io che ho quasi tutti amici italiani mi sento fortunato di aver imparato bene la lingua. Anch'io all'inizio mi sentivo così sopratutto quando parlavo poco l'italiano. Venendo da un paese dove la gente è PIÙ sorridente, solare e più tollerante, questa cosa all'inizio mi ha fatto sentire un po' fuori luogo. Adesso, mi sono integrato fortunatamente. Ora sono un ragazzo acido, razzista anche a quello che sta nel paesino vicino, poco sorridente, e si indigna ad ogni piccola cosa, anche solo per il fatto che il cane del mio vicino ha pisciato per terra vicino a casa mia invece di farlo pisciare per terra nel parco per i cani 1km da noi.
It’s difficult to consider those two to be real Italians when their faces say “CHINA”. Couple that to the fact they don’t eat normal foods while in Italy, only Chinese food, and speak Italian with an ethnolect it’s impossible to see them as anything but Chinese.
I'm American.. what the hell is the Italian way?? What does that even mean? Tia Great video. So interisting did not know asians live in Italy. Wow! Peace~
Everybody lives in Europe
Italian customs and habits, as simple as that.
It's true that some Asians still eat dog meat, it is very common in countries like Korea. I never saw a cat meat on any menu.
I heard that too.
The thing about Chinese eating cats and dogs is such an issue because there was a time when all countries went through poor times and few chose to eat pets. They ate some very strange things even others things that seem disgusting and some still do this is small towns but usually not your household domesticated pet. I don’t know why the Chinese are the only ones who get a bad reputation for this but maybe it’s because it’s continued to this day and if you go to the right areas it’s still there for sale.
People eat alligators,snakes, squirrels, etc. Especially during the pioneer days.
Perché nn ci sono i sottotitoli in italiano?
Tia ma perché fai i video sempre in Inglese?
Io Da piccola ho provato le cosce di rana fritte. Talvolta quando le idolatro la gente mi guarda storto. Ma è uno dei cibi cinesi più buoni mai mangiati.
Ah. Ps.
Il cibo cinese è parte del mio patrimonio culturale, visto quanto ne ho mangiato in tutta la mia vita. Ormai i proprietari di alcuni locali a cui andiamo sono amici di famiglia, ringrazio la mia famiglia per essere stata così aperta di mente quando ero piccola. Perché che cucina mi sarei persa.
E figurati se provavi le coscette di rana che facciamo noi italiani in Piemonte...
Magari non mi piacciono, che ne sai xD
Super interesting my dear! Was hoping you'd do one on Asians in Italy who have grown up here. Would love you to find an Asian-American expat in Milan next haha, wondering how my experience relates :) Hugs, Jasmine of Questa Dolce Vita.

In America or Canada, regardless of the roots, if you are American or Canadia citizen, you are American or Canadian. I am an Italian citizen but still considered a foreigner. I love Italy with all my heart though, the Italians are one of the most heartwarming people in the world!
I note a certain nonsense in your statement: "If you are american or canadian citizen you are considered american or canadian. I am italòian citizen but still considered a foreigner."
Would you like to say you are just a VISA owner so then they do not consider you a citizen? And this seems quite normal to me.
Do you applied for citizenship or you are not interested in become citizen of one of these countries?
I am an Italian citizen for a few years now. My statement is based on my experience, and everyone's experience is no nonsense. When I tell some people, not all, I am Italian, they told me you are probably Italian citizen but you are not Italian. It would probably the same thing if an Italian becomes a Filipino citizen or a Chinese citizen. Unlike in America, 'majority' of people considered one an American if you are a citizen regardless of your race. Anyhow, I don't really mind that much. I love embracing both my Filipino and Italian cultures. Names are just names, labels are just labels, at the end of the day, we are all just
Earth's settlers. We live, we eat, we strive, we die and do it all over again. Hoping you have a lovely Sunday! Buona Domenica!
comunque riguardo ai cinesi che mangiano i cani, giusto qualche giorno fa un ragazzo mi ha detto che è vero, nella sua area li mangiano. Nulla in contrario, tutti hanno le proprie usanze. Ma è vero che è tradizione mangiare i cani in certe parti della Cina
I'm just happy that my school has a lot of diversity.😂
I came across this video by mistake while searching Chinese in Jamaica. This was cool because I am a first generation Canadian Italian. What you ladies are talking about is the immigrant experience. FYI i am not mansplaining here folks! Many countries in the west have huge minority populations within them......i wonder if anyone has ever taken the time to see what life is like for immigrants in the reverse? I know that in China the chinese refer to "white" people as the long nose people. In India many people see European people in a negative light because of colonization. I know it is easy to speak from one's own personal experiences but don't be too harsh to judge. If Italians or any other western group were to move to China or the Philippines in drove i am sure the governments would take action on this! Also China won't even let foreigners move in and set up private businesses at all! So i say instead of complaining where you are.....complain about where your family left from and why they left! Italy was going down hill when my family left in the 1950s.....i guess it is almost rock bottom now with such little work and prosperity. Don't feel bad ladies as Italians can't even do a 1/4 of the things you do in Italy in the countries of you family origins! I enjoyed this video very much, thank you! Also google Chinese dog meat festival!
Ho lavorato in un negozio gestito da cinesi e penso che ci siano ancora molti pregiudizi e spesso battutine verso di loro da parte degli italiani( anziani e non). È un peccato, ma posso capirlo, penso ci vorrà un po' di tempo prima che gli italiani li lasceranno integrare tranquillamente nella nostra società.
A trivia by me, the largest ethnic minority groups in Italy are Moroccans - 437,485 (31/12/2016), Egyptians - 109,871 (31/12/2016), Nigerians - 98,176 (31/12/2015), Tunisians - 95,645 (31/12/2016), Sengalese - 77, 264 (31/12/2015), Ghananians - 48,637 (31/12/2015), Algerians - 21,745 (31/12/2016), Eritreans - 9,579 (31/12/2016), Ethiopians - 8,000 (31/12/2016), Somalis - 7,930 (31/12/2016).
There are over 300.000 Chinese citizens living in Italy -that number alone doesn’t include all of the Italian citizens of Chinese descent... then add that to all the other groups of Asians.
