Dang this hits kind of close. Throughout my whole childhood, I was scrutinized for being "too Asian" or "too whitewashed". Growing up as Asian American was always rough. When I was little, I was made fun of for being "too Asian", whether it be my food, or my clothes, or for the religion I practiced. Kids would say shit like "you have big eyes, for an Asian person", and meaning it as some sort of compliment. People would make fun of foods that my grandma would make, foods that i liked, because it was so different than western food. And as a young impressionable child, it kind of led me to believe that the Asian in me was "bad" or "wrong". There was no one to tell me otherwise, since there was a total of like, 5 Asian families in a 1500+ student school. There was very little Asian representation in my life, no one i saw on television or on the internet looked like me, or seemed like they faced the same problems (save for Nigahiga, that man holds a very close place in my heart cuz of this exact reason). So I just kind of, rejected a bunch of things from my culture? I started calling my Ong Noi and Ba Noi "grandma" and "grandpa" because it made me fit in with other kids, I stopped eating the "weirder" Vietnamese foods so people wouldn't make fun of me, really stopped anything that didn't seem "white". But later on, people started calling me "whitewashed" for the shit that I changed abt myself as a kid. I couldnt pronounce a dish quite right, becasue the last time I said it was in kidnergarden, so i wasnt "really asian". All the shit that i was bullied for as a kid was suddenly "cool" and "cultural" and "i should embrace it". And it made it really hard to find my place. I was either too Asian to be considered "normal", or too whitewashed to be "truly asian". Its really nice to know that a lot of other AAPI people struggle with this, its something I have struggled to deal with in the past, and still struggle with today.
don't let anyone toss you around like that bestie! be you! there's no harm on being you, and if anyone doesn't like that, why should you care? how about _they_ try to pronounce eastern dishes? how would they feel if you make fun of them for saying it wrong? right? you should make your perspective clear to everyone, how you don't like being 'too asian' or 'too whitewashed' like bro lets be honest, who cares? be you bestie, BE YOU.
that’s heartbreaking, people shouldn’t treat you as an object of your culture or ethnicity. It really shows the different extremes of your situation, doesn’t it? You’re a person, your culture shapes your uniqueness but it doesn’t define you as a person :(( stay strong, I love you!
Hey I’m with you even when I’m not Asian me being Spanish and English and I couldn’t understand Spanish people just make fun of me cause of that and just leave my family cause I can’t do that right to fit in.
As an Asian-American, I’ve expected to be bullied and BS like that, but I don’t. I think it’s either because I stay inside all day, or cuz all my friends are part Asian.
This song is so perfect, not just for Asian hate, it for all kinds of hate and discrimination. Sexism, Racism, Homophobia, Transphobia, and so much more. Thank you Kat, thank you. I don’t face as much hate as others do, but this still helps me.
I can't understand how we're still dealing with these issues of discrimination in 2021. It's time people wake up and stop acting oblivious to how others are being treated. We're all equal, no matter what ethnicity, sexuality or background you may come from.
@@iispotato1576 thing is that I'm personally not part of that community, but that doesn't mean I'm not supportive of them; if anything, I'm very supportive of them because people have the right to express themselves however they feel necessary. I'm just as human as they are, and they're just as human as the next person.
Humans aint it, everyone is different not only on looks but also on how they think. Its almost impossible to completely destroy discrimination. The most is supperesed it, making it well received so 'that' kind of people need to hide their thought, and even then its still hiding, they can and will still be biased. So lets just hope quickly almost everyone atleast have an open mind.
Okay so I have homphobic parents who don’t know I’m bi, and just seeing and hearing this song being covered by my favorite artist just made me so happy, thank you so much for this one
@Roboo I think they mean it in a light hearted way, like they're jealous of how good Derivakat is (not in like a spiteful way, but more like "wtf how are you so good!?")
"Big boys don't cry" What my brother hears everyday "Eat up,stay thin" What my sister hears everyday "Good girls dont fight White face,Tan skin Dress right" What I hear everyday Really shows that people just need reasons to hate on everyone...whatever it has to be about..my best friend is a part of the LGBTQ+ Community and gets hate from homophobics every day,my sister is brown and always is told weird "Home therapies for dark skin",my brother is very sensitive and is told not to cry bcoz he would be a "Weak man" in future, I have super light skin and am and was bullied in my old school everyday for having very "Pale" and "White" skin. This song really means a lot to me
Big boys don’t cry yea right everyone is scared of something if not they are not human Eat up stay thin so your saying don’t be famished but don’t look fat that bs Dress right there is no way to dress right only how you dress Love is love no matter if its same gender or you like both or whatever You know people who don’t believe in BLM should burn in a hole Being a man does not define you by being strong or brave but by the heart you have I mean all of these topics can be summed up by saying everyone is different and that’s ok Good luck to you all
This woman deserves no dislikes, the people who dislike her are d̶e̶m̶o̶n̶ ̶s̶p̶a̶w̶n̶s̶ bad people. EDIT: Sorry for comparing dislikers to demons- I'm sorry
My friend might be leaving the country because of AAPI hate and I think he could really use this song. Thank you kat for making this. Edit: thanks for all the nice replies 🥺
I'll never give up and become the girl people want me to be. No bullying, no force can change that. I am who I am, a therian, a demi-boy, a fighter, strong, myself. And everyone who tries to change that will just make me stronger.
"Stand out fit in" has been for me a comfort song for so long, and seeing your beautiful cover of the same words, and melody gives me so much joy and nostalgia. Thank you💝
This song used to be one of my biggest comfort songs. You're cover for it is amazing.. i absolutely adore this cover. You have done amazing once again Derivakat.
I MIGHT BE GETTING SONGS CONFUSED BUT I THINK ITS THAT ONE SONG THAT GOES "I JUST WANNA BE MYSELF I CANT BE SOMEONE ELSE" EITHER WAY ITS GOING TO BE AMAZING
I'm an Asian-American, And I experienced being judged by a white man as a kid. He yelled at me, fought with my father, and harassed me. I think this is a great song for AAPI Heritage Month. Please stop the hatred guys! No matter who you are. Love people for who they are, not what they look like. Trust me, things. will. get. better.
“Eat up, stay thin” this is the line I resonate with the most. When I was 12, I was diagnosed with absence seizures. Basically, I would just zone out for a couple of seconds. I couldn’t see anything or hear anything. After a while I would snap back out of it. This really scared me so we went to a doctor and I was put on some medication. This medication didn’t really work as I was still having them, so they put me on different ones. They worked well, but I started getting vivid nightmares as I would go to sleep. It would take multiple attempts to get to sleep without having them. So we went back and went on different meds. These ones worked but they gave me an increased appetite. I was eating more than I needed to and my grandparents thought I was just eating because I wanted to. I couldn’t help it. They would tell me to go outside and that I could use the exercise. I was also getting bullied at school for it. I tried explaining it but it just gave the bullies more grounds on which to bully about. Today, I’ve been seizure free for about 3 years and no more medication. Things have started going back to normal and I’m glad that I had some really supportive friends and family that comforted me and helped me through the toughest time of my life. This song is great and I’ll listen to it everyday.
I know I can speak for quite a few people here when I say, I'm in a really fragile state right now. I can barely process anything that's happened then boom, Derivakat just pops up with this and i know it's not released yet exactly, but this will have me in tears
This song unites everyone and anyone who’s struggling under one banner. It’s a masterpiece and timeless. We all deserve to be ourselves despite everything society tells us. Thank you Kat
As a person that never fit into "normal", this hits so hard. I honestly hate stereotypes 💔 makes me feel that my difference is wrong. Also, the line "Stand out, fit in" reminds me of when I was told to run while being yelled that I should stand still. Awesome cover
Honestly, I feel the same. When I was in primary school I was close to my homeroom teacher, and so was a group of classmates. They often bug the teacher and follow her 24/7 (not joking). I was part of her little tuition gang so it would mean that I get to spend more time with her than the group. One day I was minding my own business when someone from the group of classmates started to argue with me. She was screaming so loudly and I'm here just _kalm_. Still tho, I'm not sure what we were arguing about, but it felt connected to one reason I discovered only today. She was jealous of me able to spend time with the teacher more than the rest. Another reason was probably because I acted differently compared to the rest. I don't talk a lot. I limit the number of friends I can have (I'm introvert-ish and I like to be alone sometimes). When I do talk, I talk what I want to talk about (but I don't cross any boundaries). I was raised by a loving mother who allowed me to have freedom in what I do. Oh and, another quite amusing reason, I was taller than her crush. I'm the odd ball of my class because of my height. Most of my family are tall, so I got my genes there. However, Asians are considered to be short, but I'm not :p Over the years I start to appreciate my height, still rocking it with the appreciation of my height! I guess the point of telling my story here is that no matter how you act or look, there's always people out there who would attack you for it. I'm here to tell you that you're unique no matter what. Screw what other people think about you. You're amazing for who you are :)
things i love rn: 1. you published this the first day of pride month 2. you made an awsome cover 3. this song is LGBTQIA+ related so even pogger 4. it's just fantastic i'm jamming rn
I'll be honest: When I hear people sing or talk or I see the art, whatever they look like becomes of little matter. And while I do care for looks, when people show passion, such judging topics like race, gender, heritage, religion, sexuality? Are they that important? They are part of you, and therefore a crucial part of you, but also not the only part of you, because you are more than that. Things that people are judged for are never the only things that make the great person who they are. It shouldn't be that way. It hurts, from an outside and inside perspective. Honestly, the thought of ever seeing you, Derivakat, differently, just for your heritage never crossed my mind. You are equal to me as a human, like everyone else, and a talented inspiration to me as an online influencer who's content I enjoy. However I do know that others have not the current open-mindedness to see this beyond accent and skin colour, and I absolutely stand against the hate. I support culture diversity, not discrimination. We are all equal, and when we fight for rights we are to fight for the rights to equality because we do not raise one above the other. Everyone is loved. Everyone is valid. Everyone is accepted. Everyone is equal. That is where we want to be. No, this is not communism. It's fairness and a good moral compass. Love each other, we're all struggling and we're all worth it. Nevertheless this was an amazing song. Thank you for never ceasing to create outstanding, beautiful and heartfelt music! We look up to you and appreciate you for all you do! It's been a stressful year, and a messily beautiful year, but all the same, I hope you are well Derivakat! P.S. If anyone feels that I expressed myself wrongly - please do tell me, when I state my opinion I do not wish to sound like I'm trying to go against supporting minorities, and I never wish to offend anything. I am willing to edit this comment if need for rephrasing is present. Take care of yourself - Happy AAPI Heritage Month, Happy Pride Month!
While you are singing this to raise awareness for the racial discrimination (which I think is absolutely amazing), I resonated with it as well, despite not going through what others may have. It really sends a message as a whole: on gender, race, and sexuality standards set by society. As someone in the LGBTQ+ community, I could really relate to the song. Paired with your amazing vocals, and I was absolutely in love. Thank you so much for this! ❤💛💚💙💜❤💛💚💙💜
This is my favorite song ever. This song really relates what everyone is going through, especially with all the different types of criticism that's been happening lately. You really made an amazing, meaningful, and powerful song. I love it. You're amazing ❤
This can seriously relate to so many people. For asian people facing hate and anyone being stressed and pushed far past their limits, for us LGBTQ+ people, and really just so many more. This is an amazing cover kat!
I love that you did a cover of this song! As an Asian European I can also relate to being bullied, teased and all that BS. It’s just not right. I hope that everyone does well in life and make the most of it ilyasm
Pretty much everyone has some quality to them that can make them a minority. It's not about standing with just your own minority, it's about standing with everyone's minorities. The "normal" of society is built on the uniqueness of each and every one of us.
[Verse 1] I know they don’t like me that much Guess that I don’t dress how they want I just wanna be myself I can’t be someone else Try to color inside their lines Try to live a life by design I just wanna be myself I can’t be someone else, someone else [Pre-Chorus] They yell, they preach, I’ve heard it all before (heard it all before) "Be this, be that", I’ve heard it before, heard it before [Chorus] Big boys don’t cry Shoot low, aim high Eat up, stay thin Stand out, fit in Good girls don’t fight Be you, dress right White face, tan skin Stand out, fit in [Post-Chorus] Stand out, fit in Stand out, fit in [Verse 2] Lately, it’s been too much all day Words shot like a cannon at me I just wanna be myself I can’t be someone else, someone else [Pre-Chorus] They yell, they preach, I’ve heard it all before "Be this, be that", I’ve heard it before, heard it before [Chorus] Big boys don’t cry Shoot low, aim high Eat up, stay thin Stand out, fit in Good girls don’t fight Be you, dress right White face, tan skin Stand out, fit in [Post-Chorus] Stand out fit in Stand out fit in Stand out fit in Stand out fit in [Bridge] I am who I am, no matter what (no matter what) No,never changing, no matter what, no matter what [Chorus] Big boys don’t cry Shoot low, aim high Eat up, stay thin Stand out, fit in Good girls don’t fight Be you, dress right White face, tan skin Stand out, fit in [Chorus] Big boys don’t cry Shoot low, aim high Eat up, stay thin Stand out, fit in Good girls don’t fight Be you, dress right White face, tan skin Stand out, fit in [Post-Chorus] Stand out fit in Stand out fit in Stand out fit in Stand out fit in
I've been listening to One Ok Rock for YEARS and this is one of the most beautiful covers i've ever heard. This is one of my favorite songs by them as well, the meaning runs so deep and so many people relate to the message. Thank you so much for this, you have no idea how much it means to hear such an influential person bringing a song like this to so many people who may not have heard it.
As an Asian-American, this hits super hard. I've been called (by my own mother) that I'm "too white" or "not Asian enough." And I want to embrace my Asian side, but it's hard with those comments. And I feel very awkward at school, because I don't feel neither white nor Asian, and it makes me feel weird. And it doesn't help that not much attention has been brought to Stop AAIP Hate. Thank you Derivakat for bringing light to this problem. You're pogchamp!
Why 2021 is better than 2020 1:Omega Mart opened 2: Derivakat released a bunch of bops 3:CG5 made epic Dream Team songs 4:I discovered Derivakat 5:Dream made some epic bops as well
I never really experienced being hated as an Asian since I still live in that Asian country but,I really Appreciate this song for the people who actually did suffer from Asian hate,not only that,it can be as stop homophobia, transphobia, Racism etc. Thank you derivakat for this cover ❤️
this song, this cover of it, and the intent behind the cover are incredibly meaningful to me. in a predominantly white school, i was held to a standard of constant success. academic prowess was supposedly just part of "my people," so of course i did well, but my doing well, and my presence in the community, was just another example of asians stealing opportunities from "real" americans. perfection was simultaneously expected of me and abhorred when i obtained it. on top of that, being asian in general seemed like a condemnation. i grew up seeing my grandparents mocked for their accents, my few asian classmates nicknamed "made in china" or slurs, my asian friends avoided or violently confronted in the streets as "terrorists," my little brother used by his friends as a debate topic. we could never make the people around us happy because our existence was a source of discontentment. it was impossible to color in their lines when those lines were impossible to find. stand out, fit in, indeed. it's better now, thankfully - i have good friends who respect and value me as a multifaceted human, just like them - but it's still hard to think about. it's even harder to think that in some people's eyes, i am unworthy of being on this planet at all because of my race, and that awful things have been done to so many people on that basis. sending love to anyone else who has struggled with their racial identity, who has been hurt by racism, who has seen someone hurt by or lost someone to racism. your contributions to this world and your emotions and pain are just as valuable and meaningful and important as anyone else's. your voices more than deserve to be heard.
VOUCH! Glad that your doing better now, people like that are just jealous and mad. If you listen to them it just fuels their fire more, always remember your just as good (if not better) than them ❤️
I used to listen to this song a few years ago, I didn’t feel like I ever fit in with my surroundings and this song helped me cope with those feelings. Cut forward to now, where I’m a part of the MCYT community and such, and I come across Derivakat and her music along with all of these amazing content creators. The mcyts themselves, the animators and the songwriters. The whole community has helped me feel like I do fit in somewhere, I’ve made friends over common interests of certain youtubers, and hearing Derivakat sing this song just brings back those memories and realize how great this community can truly be. So thank you, I guess is kind of what I’m getting at :]
I absolutely love this song, and your rendition really made my day! As an Asian American, this brings a whole new meaning to this song, and I absolutely adore it
Me being a Cambodian, I always get asian jokes thrown at my face and I was even known as “that Asian girl”. It hurts hearing people only knowing you for being Asian when you have other things about you that stand out.
I need to stop watching your videos because they make me cry, because they're so sweet. But all of your videos are so good I cant stop watching you. I love the message you send in this song and some of your other songs you send amazing messages. You have an amazing voice and I just love what you do.
first time ive heard this song and i love it, straight after the premiere i went to the original song and i can say its a song thats gonna go on repeat for a while
These comments are so full of positivity and unity. I just want to thank you Derivikat for fostering a community that’s so accepting and welcoming. You’re valid, you’re loved, and you’ll never ever be insignificant or unimportant.
Being an Asian myself, I remember once when I went to America for summer school, even if most people are nice, I can still feel the hostility among friends and families over there. And seeing our race getting hate on terrified me. It’s gonna be one of my biggest fear to face when I decide to move in in the future. This song hits really hard especially it’s a cover by an amazing musical artist u adore. Means the world to me, thank you so much derivakat and standing up for Asians ♥️♥️
This is such a wonderful song for all purposes- it was such a huge part of my elementary school life and self discovery. This cover by my favorite artist makes it even better :)
When I hear this it makes me feel less lonely because there are people who are told to fit these constantly contradicting standards. Also it's just a damn fine song.
I love this song, and I'm very happy that you're doing a cover of it! You're a very talented singer & songwriter Derivakat. I hope the future goes well for you
I'm so sorry you had to deal with such hate just for being born the way you are, that's so immensely unfair. You should be able to engage in your culture and be who you are, with no one judging that. It's also so good that you're standing up for yourself and your community, showing your voice. I wish you the best.
This is amazing!!! Totally gonna be my new ringtone and so much more I'll listen to this on repeat I say!!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍 Update: I'm in tears. This song touches my heart sooooo much
My first 10 years of school was pretty hard psychologically. You had a role fx "The nice girl" and once you was labeled that you were just stuck. I hated it so much and bullying and chronic ilnesses did not really help. I found this just before I graduated. I did not think much about it but now i am on a different school and know how things should be and I really identify with it. Thank you so much Derivakat, you sound amazing. And to all the people that for some reason read to the end of this comment, I love you. You are a beautiful person with a lot of talents and light in you. Live. Be who you are. Do not care what those people says. I know it is hard, but it will be better. I promise. Just go to bed and wake up the next day and continue. Love and be who you are because you are a magnificent person
It's a song by One Ok Rock about being forced into steoriotypes because of race, gender, looks, sexuality, and denying them. The music video is from an Asian boy's perspective, hope this helps :)

I👏🏽 SUPPORT 👏🏽 AAPI 👏🏽! I can't relate to you and I'm sorry for you guys have been treated but just know there are people out there who support you guys and you guys are so valid. Even though I can't relate to this being a black person and I never really got picked on for my appearance or how I act I can put myself through your shoes, I understand your struggles. I think it isn't fair that you Asian American Are being treated differently for the way you are and everyone can agree,right. Just know you guys matter so much♥️:D
Being Mixed, I really love this. Your voice is beautiful as always and I appreciate your contribution to the stopAAPI hate movement. I’m still struggling to figure out what I can do myself, but this was super inspiring and definitely going on my playlist ASAP. ❤️
I just want to say that I have to thank you so goddamn much, hearing your songs makes me go really comfortable and with that, 3 months ago, through this song, I came to the idea to write somebody that I have been loving for about 3 years but always having been too worried to contact, that I love them. And now, I am the happiest I can remember to ever have been in my life, having gotten out of depression and being in a relationship with the woman I truly love, and all of that through your song. Thank you Derivakat for your work o7😊

Just a friendly reminder, derivakat posts really frequently for a musician, stop complaining
edit: I posted this to send as a highlighted comment to my friends, I haven’t seen many people complaining, but I don’t use social media all that much
I haven’t seen a single person complain but true
yep
Honestly! She posts so much and the songs are always SO good I don’t get it 😭
I stg if anyone's complaining about her upload schedule-
Don't be afraid to drop some @'s :D
For the most part i think we're more worried about how much she posts. Burnout is a b-word after all
Dang this hits kind of close.
Throughout my whole childhood, I was scrutinized for being "too Asian" or "too whitewashed". Growing up as Asian American was always rough. When I was little, I was made fun of for being "too Asian", whether it be my food, or my clothes, or for the religion I practiced.

All the shit that i was bullied for as a kid was suddenly "cool" and "cultural" and "i should embrace it". And it made it really hard to find my place. I was either too Asian to be considered "normal", or too whitewashed to be "truly asian". Its really nice to know that a lot of other AAPI people struggle with this, its something I have struggled to deal with in the past, and still struggle with today.
don't let anyone toss you around like that bestie! be you! there's no harm on being you, and if anyone doesn't like that, why should you care? how about _they_ try to pronounce eastern dishes? how would they feel if you make fun of them for saying it wrong? right? you should make your perspective clear to everyone, how you don't like being 'too asian' or 'too whitewashed' like bro lets be honest, who cares? be you bestie, BE YOU.
Thats.. omg im speechless. I just can say you have to be yourself. The people around you mustn't change you.
that’s heartbreaking, people shouldn’t treat you as an object of your culture or ethnicity. It really shows the different extremes of your situation, doesn’t it? You’re a person, your culture shapes your uniqueness but it doesn’t define you as a person :((
stay strong, I love you!
Be who you are
Don't worry about those people
Hey I’m with you even when I’m not Asian me being Spanish and English and I couldn’t understand Spanish people just make fun of me cause of that and just leave my family cause I can’t do that right to fit in.
As an Asian-American, I’ve expected to be bullied and BS like that, but I don’t. I think it’s either because I stay inside all day, or cuz all my friends are part Asian.
❤️
@@adatcat Aww
I'm Vietnamese and all my friends are Indian or Vietnamese XD
lucky, I live in a super small town were there aren't many other Asian - American's and I feel so out of place all the time :/
same but i almost did get killed by someone in Walmart once 😃
This song is so perfect, not just for Asian hate, it for all kinds of hate and discrimination. Sexism, Racism, Homophobia, Transphobia, and so much more. Thank you Kat, thank you. I don’t face as much hate as others do, but this still helps me.
Derivakat, you are wonderful. I wholeheartedly agree with this comment, thank you.
Agreed.
Agreed!
Agreed
Couldn't have said it better myself.
I can't understand how we're still dealing with these issues of discrimination in 2021. It's time people wake up and stop acting oblivious to how others are being treated. We're all equal, no matter what ethnicity, sexuality or background you may come from.
i know, the fact that theres still so much discrimination in the world makes me so sad :( i try to be as inclusive and welcoming to everyone
:D
I completely agree with this a a member of the lgbt+ community.
@@iispotato1576 thing is that I'm personally not part of that community, but that doesn't mean I'm not supportive of them; if anything, I'm very supportive of them because people have the right to express themselves however they feel necessary. I'm just as human as they are, and they're just as human as the next person.
Humans aint it, everyone is different not only on looks but also on how they think. Its almost impossible to completely destroy discrimination. The most is supperesed it, making it well received so 'that' kind of people need to hide their thought, and even then its still hiding, they can and will still be biased.
So lets just hope quickly almost everyone atleast have an open mind.
THIS SONG LITERALLY MEANS SO MUCH TO ME AND THE FACT YOU DID A COVER MAKES ME SO HAPPY
SAMEEE
Same. It's one of my favorite One of Rock songs.
SAME IT ACTUALLY MEANS SO MUCH
FEEL U I HEAR IT EVERY DAY❤🌺🔥✨

"stand out, fit in"
How am i supposed to stand out when all you want me to do is being exactly like everybody else?
- everyone at least once, probably
Yep.
At least that’s probably something that we all have in common at at least some point in their lives
And vise verse really. “How can I fit in when everyone is so unique and different?”
It's true though, sadly.
That’s short for “be yourself- no not like that!”

let’s appreciate the board that says “stop aapi hate”
"Big boys don't cry"
What my brother hears everyday
"Eat up,stay thin"
What my sister hears everyday
"Good girls dont fight
White face,Tan skin
Dress right"
What I hear everyday
Really shows that people just need reasons to hate on everyone...whatever it has to be about..my best friend is a part of the LGBTQ+ Community and gets hate from homophobics every day,my sister is brown and always is told weird "Home therapies for dark skin",my brother is very sensitive and is told not to cry bcoz he would be a "Weak man" in future, I have super light skin and am and was bullied in my old school everyday for having very "Pale" and "White" skin.
This song really means a lot to me
Ik it sucks be just be yourself
They hate there problem
Big boys don’t cry yea right everyone is scared of something if not they are not human
Eat up stay thin so your saying don’t be famished but don’t look fat that bs
Dress right there is no way to dress right only how you dress
Love is love no matter if its same gender or you like both or whatever
You know people who don’t believe in BLM should burn in a hole
Being a man does not define you by being strong or brave but by the heart you have
I mean all of these topics can be summed up by saying everyone is different and that’s ok
Good luck to you all

I'm an Asian-American, And I experienced being judged by a white man as a kid. He yelled at me, fought with my father, and harassed me. I think this is a great song for AAPI Heritage Month. Please stop the hatred guys! No matter who you are. Love people for who they are, not what they look like. Trust me, things. will. get. better.
That’s terrible, hope your doing well now
I'm so sorry that happened! I hope your ok!
“Eat up, stay thin” this is the line I resonate with the most. When I was 12, I was diagnosed with absence seizures. Basically, I would just zone out for a couple of seconds. I couldn’t see anything or hear anything. After a while I would snap back out of it. This really scared me so we went to a doctor and I was put on some medication. This medication didn’t really work as I was still having them, so they put me on different ones. They worked well, but I started getting vivid nightmares as I would go to sleep. It would take multiple attempts to get to sleep without having them. So we went back and went on different meds. These ones worked but they gave me an increased appetite. I was eating more than I needed to and my grandparents thought I was just eating because I wanted to. I couldn’t help it. They would tell me to go outside and that I could use the exercise. I was also getting bullied at school for it. I tried explaining it but it just gave the bullies more grounds on which to bully about. Today, I’ve been seizure free for about 3 years and no more medication. Things have started going back to normal and I’m glad that I had some really supportive friends and family that comforted me and helped me through the toughest time of my life. This song is great and I’ll listen to it everyday.
Glad you're doing well!

As a person that never fit into "normal", this hits so hard. I honestly hate stereotypes 💔 makes me feel that my difference is wrong. Also, the line "Stand out, fit in" reminds me of when I was told to run while being yelled that I should stand still. Awesome cover
My mom always say "why can't you be normal?! " Or "Be normal" But I just want to be myself
truer words have never been spoken
@@kaslanaberry so sorry to hear that, stories like that are always so sad to hear. Hope it gets better m8
Honestly, I feel the same. When I was in primary school I was close to my homeroom teacher, and so was a group of classmates. They often bug the teacher and follow her 24/7 (not joking). I was part of her little tuition gang so it would mean that I get to spend more time with her than the group. One day I was minding my own business when someone from the group of classmates started to argue with me. She was screaming so loudly and I'm here just _kalm_. Still tho, I'm not sure what we were arguing about, but it felt connected to one reason I discovered only today.
She was jealous of me able to spend time with the teacher more than the rest.
Another reason was probably because I acted differently compared to the rest. I don't talk a lot. I limit the number of friends I can have (I'm introvert-ish and I like to be alone sometimes). When I do talk, I talk what I want to talk about (but I don't cross any boundaries). I was raised by a loving mother who allowed me to have freedom in what I do.
Oh and, another quite amusing reason, I was taller than her crush. I'm the odd ball of my class because of my height. Most of my family are tall, so I got my genes there. However, Asians are considered to be short, but I'm not :p
Over the years I start to appreciate my height, still rocking it with the appreciation of my height!
I guess the point of telling my story here is that no matter how you act or look, there's always people out there who would attack you for it. I'm here to tell you that you're unique no matter what. Screw what other people think about you.
You're amazing for who you are :)

@@3lectrictide WOOO SAME FOR ME
I'll be honest: When I hear people sing or talk or I see the art, whatever they look like becomes of little matter. And while I do care for looks, when people show passion, such judging topics like race, gender, heritage, religion, sexuality? Are they that important? They are part of you, and therefore a crucial part of you, but also not the only part of you, because you are more than that. Things that people are judged for are never the only things that make the great person who they are. It shouldn't be that way. It hurts, from an outside and inside perspective.
Honestly, the thought of ever seeing you, Derivakat, differently, just for your heritage never crossed my mind. You are equal to me as a human, like everyone else, and a talented inspiration to me as an online influencer who's content I enjoy. However I do know that others have not the current open-mindedness to see this beyond accent and skin colour, and I absolutely stand against the hate. I support culture diversity, not discrimination.
We are all equal, and when we fight for rights we are to fight for the rights to equality because we do not raise one above the other.
Everyone is loved. Everyone is valid. Everyone is accepted. Everyone is equal. That is where we want to be.
No, this is not communism. It's fairness and a good moral compass. Love each other, we're all struggling and we're all worth it.
Nevertheless this was an amazing song. Thank you for never ceasing to create outstanding, beautiful and heartfelt music! We look up to you and appreciate you for all you do! It's been a stressful year, and a messily beautiful year, but all the same, I hope you are well Derivakat!
P.S. If anyone feels that I expressed myself wrongly - please do tell me, when I state my opinion I do not wish to sound like I'm trying to go against supporting minorities, and I never wish to offend anything. I am willing to edit this comment if need for rephrasing is present. Take care of yourself - Happy AAPI Heritage Month, Happy Pride Month!
While you are singing this to raise awareness for the racial discrimination (which I think is absolutely amazing), I resonated with it as well, despite not going through what others may have. It really sends a message as a whole: on gender, race, and sexuality standards set by society. As someone in the LGBTQ+ community, I could really relate to the song. Paired with your amazing vocals, and I was absolutely in love. Thank you so much for this! ❤💛💚💙💜❤💛💚💙💜

This is my favorite song ever. This song really relates what everyone is going through, especially with all the different types of criticism that's been happening lately.
You really made an amazing, meaningful, and powerful song.
I love it.
You're amazing ❤
This can seriously relate to so many people. For asian people facing hate and anyone being stressed and pushed far past their limits, for us LGBTQ+ people, and really just so many more. This is an amazing cover kat!
I love that you did a cover of this song!
As an Asian European I can also relate to being bullied, teased and all that BS.
It’s just not right.
I hope that everyone does well in life and make the most of it ilyasm
Pretty much everyone has some quality to them that can make them a minority. It's not about standing with just your own minority, it's about standing with everyone's minorities. The "normal" of society is built on the uniqueness of each and every one of us.
Truer words have never been said ❤️
this song is one of my favorites I am beyond happy that derivakats doing a cover of it :D
I love this song so much
Can't wait!
[Verse 1]
I know they don’t like me that much
Guess that I don’t dress how they want
I just wanna be myself
I can’t be someone else
Try to color inside their lines
Try to live a life by design
I just wanna be myself
I can’t be someone else, someone else
[Pre-Chorus]
They yell, they preach, I’ve heard it all before (heard it all before)
"Be this, be that", I’ve heard it before, heard it before
[Chorus]
Big boys don’t cry
Shoot low, aim high
Eat up, stay thin
Stand out, fit in
Good girls don’t fight
Be you, dress right
White face, tan skin
Stand out, fit in
[Post-Chorus]
Stand out, fit in
Stand out, fit in
[Verse 2]
Lately, it’s been too much all day
Words shot like a cannon at me

Stand out, fit in
Good girls don’t fight
Be you, dress right

Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in
[Bridge]
I am who I am, no matter what (no matter what)
No,never changing, no matter what, no matter what

I've been listening to One Ok Rock for YEARS and this is one of the most beautiful covers i've ever heard. This is one of my favorite songs by them as well, the meaning runs so deep and so many people relate to the message. Thank you so much for this, you have no idea how much it means to hear such an influential person bringing a song like this to so many people who may not have heard it.
As an Asian-American, this hits super hard. I've been called (by my own mother) that I'm "too white" or "not Asian enough." And I want to embrace my Asian side, but it's hard with those comments. And I feel very awkward at school, because I don't feel neither white nor Asian, and it makes me feel weird. And it doesn't help that not much attention has been brought to Stop AAIP Hate. Thank you Derivakat for bringing light to this problem. You're pogchamp!

omg this is the exact song i listed to when i did not have the dsmp and now looking back i am so sad to see the songs i loved
I never really experienced being hated as an Asian since I still live in that Asian country but,I really Appreciate this song for the people who actually did suffer from Asian hate,not only that,it can be as stop homophobia, transphobia, Racism etc. Thank you derivakat for this cover ❤️
this song, this cover of it, and the intent behind the cover are incredibly meaningful to me. in a predominantly white school, i was held to a standard of constant success. academic prowess was supposedly just part of "my people," so of course i did well, but my doing well, and my presence in the community, was just another example of asians stealing opportunities from "real" americans. perfection was simultaneously expected of me and abhorred when i obtained it. on top of that, being asian in general seemed like a condemnation. i grew up seeing my grandparents mocked for their accents, my few asian classmates nicknamed "made in china" or slurs, my asian friends avoided or violently confronted in the streets as "terrorists," my little brother used by his friends as a debate topic. we could never make the people around us happy because our existence was a source of discontentment. it was impossible to color in their lines when those lines were impossible to find. stand out, fit in, indeed.
it's better now, thankfully - i have good friends who respect and value me as a multifaceted human, just like them - but it's still hard to think about. it's even harder to think that in some people's eyes, i am unworthy of being on this planet at all because of my race, and that awful things have been done to so many people on that basis. sending love to anyone else who has struggled with their racial identity, who has been hurt by racism, who has seen someone hurt by or lost someone to racism. your contributions to this world and your emotions and pain are just as valuable and meaningful and important as anyone else's. your voices more than deserve to be heard.
VOUCH! Glad that your doing better now, people like that are just jealous and mad. If you listen to them it just fuels their fire more, always remember your just as good (if not better) than them ❤️
0:57 the best part. Her voice has no boundaries! Amazing and sooo emotional cover
Man never knew a good song could be better
It isn’t even done yet and I’m loving it
I can't wait ^_^
I used to listen to this song a few years ago, I didn’t feel like I ever fit in with my surroundings and this song helped me cope with those feelings. Cut forward to now, where I’m a part of the MCYT community and such, and I come across Derivakat and her music along with all of these amazing content creators. The mcyts themselves, the animators and the songwriters. The whole community has helped me feel like I do fit in somewhere, I’ve made friends over common interests of certain youtubers, and hearing Derivakat sing this song just brings back those memories and realize how great this community can truly be. So thank you, I guess is kind of what I’m getting at :]
i haven't listened to the original version but this rendition is calming in a type of way.
I absolutely love this song, and your rendition really made my day! As an Asian American, this brings a whole new meaning to this song, and I absolutely adore it
oh god the nostalgia. this song is truly one of my confort ones, love to hear you singing kat, i may have teared up :)

thank you for this derivakat, you are such a talented musician and this cover brought tears to my eyes
Being an Asian myself, I remember once when I went to America for summer school, even if most people are nice, I can still feel the hostility among friends and families over there. And seeing our race getting hate on terrified me. It’s gonna be one of my biggest fear to face when I decide to move in in the future. This song hits really hard especially it’s a cover by an amazing musical artist u adore. Means the world to me, thank you so much derivakat and standing up for Asians ♥️♥️
This is such a wonderful song for all purposes- it was such a huge part of my elementary school life and self discovery. This cover by my favorite artist makes it even better :)
Ah yes,nostalgic music that made us really confident for ourselves.
When I hear this it makes me feel less lonely because there are people who are told to fit these constantly contradicting standards. Also it's just a damn fine song.
I love this song, and I'm very happy that you're doing a cover of it! You're a very talented singer & songwriter Derivakat. I hope the future goes well for you
I'm so sorry you had to deal with such hate just for being born the way you are, that's so immensely unfair. You should be able to engage in your culture and be who you are, with no one judging that. It's also so good that you're standing up for yourself and your community, showing your voice. I wish you the best.
This is so relaxing to listen to
This is amazing!!! Totally gonna be my new ringtone and so much more I'll listen to this on repeat I say!!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
Update: I'm in tears. This song touches my heart sooooo much
I find her voice so calming. This song on loop is perfect for sleep

My first 10 years of school was pretty hard psychologically. You had a role fx "The nice girl" and once you was labeled that you were just stuck. I hated it so much and bullying and chronic ilnesses did not really help. I found this just before I graduated. I did not think much about it but now i am on a different school and know how things should be and I really identify with it. Thank you so much Derivakat, you sound amazing. And to all the people that for some reason read to the end of this comment, I love you. You are a beautiful person with a lot of talents and light in you. Live. Be who you are. Do not care what those people says. I know it is hard, but it will be better. I promise. Just go to bed and wake up the next day and continue. Love and be who you are because you are a magnificent person
I used to be fucking obsessed with this song a few years ago. I'm so happy for you to cover it, love ya!
Don’t know where this is from but looks cool I’m gonna stick around to listen.
The song is about dervikat saying Asians matter I think idk someone in the comments tell me If I'm wrong
I’m pretty sure the original song has to do with like Asian Americans trying to fit in and stuff - the title
Thank you!
It also stands for LGBTQ+ I believe :>
It's a song by One Ok Rock about being forced into steoriotypes because of race, gender, looks, sexuality, and denying them. The music video is from an Asian boy's perspective, hope this helps :)

I can't relate to you and I'm sorry for you guys have been treated but just know there are people out there who support you guys and you guys are so valid. Even though I can't relate to this being a black person and I never really got picked on for my appearance or how I act I can put myself through your shoes, I understand your struggles. I think it isn't fair that you Asian American Are being treated differently for the way you are and everyone can agree,right.
Just know you guys matter so much♥️:D
Being Mixed, I really love this. Your voice is beautiful as always and I appreciate your contribution to the stopAAPI hate movement. I’m still struggling to figure out what I can do myself, but this was super inspiring and definitely going on my playlist ASAP. ❤️
THIS IS POGGERS! Well done Kat
this cover really soothes me.. been caught up w one ok rock.. there ur cover came up! really love ur version cover!!
I just want to say that I have to thank you so goddamn much, hearing your songs makes me go really comfortable and with that, 3 months ago, through this song, I came to the idea to write somebody that I have been loving for about 3 years but always having been too worried to contact, that I love them. And now, I am the happiest I can remember to ever have been in my life, having gotten out of depression and being in a relationship with the woman I truly love, and all of that through your song. Thank you Derivakat for your work o7😊
