I give mad props to Johnny for turning his life around to Jesus Christ. I grew up in Detroit back in the late 70s - 80s where there weren’t many Asians and even less Koreans for that matter. I remember growing up as a kid and getting in so many fights with Arabs, Blacks and White boys since there were no Asian gangs but God blessed me with athleticism, size and strength (6’6” 250lb by the time I was a sophomore in high school) so I held my own but took my share of beat downs too especially when it was 4 on 1. But I made it through and earned respect since I could hoop and an honorable mention all state football player. Therefore, I was embraced by my Black and White brothers in high school and college. Now I am an old man nearly 50 living in LA. Glad I didn’t grow up in LA as a kid cuz I know for sure I would have been jumped into KK or AB and probably dead or in jail! Jesus Christ saved my life and continues to do so everyday!
Trust me I’m Mexican and the Asians in Southern California especially in the SGV really adapted to the LA gang culture and held their own and made themselves established and respected
I know times were different back then but thinking about it now it was so fucking stupid, imagine just walking home from school and asking "what set you from? or just deciding to beat and rob a 12 year old" that's some loser waste shit.
They don't represent the Asian community, they represent themselves and their families. They may love their Asian community but one man cannot represent a people.
He's all the way in Cali and his story on what lead down the path towards a gang is highly relatable. This just shows you that no matter race, location...we all share similar experiences, stories. It's to the point "how can you harm someone who's just like you?"
I respect the traditional Asians that knows they don't need to fit in !! But when I see Asians in gangs but with good family's it just makes them look phony and doin the most to try to fit in with the black and Hispanic community 🤷♂️💯
That not facts and in California it'll always be Asian and black and islander Mexican pick on the Asian more then blacks did so did whiteboys did too .that why more Asian gangs be crips or bloods and are well respected
Johnny Chang! You the real deal! The way you move is what I respect the most! China Mac and Johnny Chang collab was iconic! Really going viral off real raw history!
I agree with you when you say that it takes a lot to speak out on certain things. im asian and I noticed that in our community, we don't talk about our problems because of the way we were raised. we end up keeping everything to ourselves because our families believe that we are too young to even have real problems so when we grow up, we keep that same energy because that's what we were taught. it's good to finally have people speak out about their trauma. it makes you feel like you're not alone and that your feelings are valid too. we definitely are raised with a lot of tough love and it's good to educate people on that so when we have kids, we don't treat them the same way.
Went to highschool and lived in Phoenix AZ from 09-13, nothing but love and respect for the Mexican and Native communities! Was 1 of the 3 asian kids in school and never felt like I didn't belong
I just watched the interview that Johnny did on the "Soft White Underbelly." His story is really interesting and I'm glad he changed his life around. Glad to see him again on this channel with China Mac.
Much respect for sharing his story. It’s the reality that a lot of young kids in those neighborhoods experience. He was a kid thrown into with the wolves. And survived. Stay strong within yourself.
I didnt realize how much I can relate to this. I was never part of a gang or committed crimes but the way that Johnny described how his dad beat him up simply because he didnt believe he got robbed is traumatizing and forced him to join a gang. I had my rebellious ways simply because I wasnt listened to either. Glad you turned your life around, Johnny. I want to have beer with this guy one day.
Thanks, Johnny for taking us down your memory lane Your childhood memories were so painful and dark 💔 Your story will inspire others as they have been inside your shoes too
My first job after graduating college was at the San Gabriel Asian Youth Center as a Case Manager working with at risk youth back in the early 2000’s. Glad they’re still around serving the community. Thanks for representing Johnny and China Mac. We need more advocates like you guys.
Chang seems like a great guy. Down to earth no fronting. Also his soft white under belly interview is the best one I’ve seen because of his testimony and positive message. God bless you brother Johnny
There’s an interview he did with soft white underbelly and he tells his whole story. To keep the story short he eventually found God and now he preaches at jails.
As a Chinese-American who grew up in Montebello from '82-'92. I can attest to the animosity and general vibe from SOME but not all of the Mexican kids and definitely their older brothers and cousins, and even sometimes their parents. I remember getting into fights at school and in the neighborhood regularly (they always initiated it) and without a doubt 100% see how I could have easily taken a similar path as Johnny and China Mac; much respect to both of you for sharing your experiences.
Were you born in 1982? I observed some of what you’re talking about from the Mexican-Americans when I was staying briefly in Montebello back in 2012 and frequenting the Montebello Mall.
The mexican mafia got all the mexican gangs together to tried to get rid of all the races who werent mexican from sgv. Blacks and asians were targeted back then.
@@johnbreaks7179 them speaking on their trauma from growing up in an asian household and how that got them to turn to negative things in the first place. you're tripping for talking on something u prolly don't even understand & prolly didn't even watch the full video before replying to my comment with some negative shit lol
@@johnbreaks7179 bro you are the type of person who complains about races not being able to work together, but you are also apart of the problem trying to get people to be against each other for no reason. I have no issues with other races but clearly you do lol my comment simply states I can relate and that's something im appreciative for & idc if that makes you mad. stay mad my guy. i wouldn't go on a channel where other races talk about their struggles and tell them to fuck themselves. you thought you made a point but made yourself look like a hypocrite the midst of it & maybe you need to fix your own trauma because your own insecurities are starting to show in these comments. hope you can get past whatever's bothering you and become a positive person because negativity will turn people away from you for sure :)
It’s sad to hear J’s story, how his parents didn’t believe he got jumped. So oblivious to his struggle it’s a bitter sweet feeling finding a new family when yours doesn’t realize your pain. Salute to you big bro🙏🏼💯product of your environment but a soldier at the end of the day 💜
Enjoy this hood vlog really told alot about the past between the asians and mexicans gangs how it came out to be today much respect to everyone and thank you for your culture experience
Thanks Johnny for taking us into your life and experiences of what you've been through. I grew up in Montebello and heard many stories of Asian gangs as early as the 80's and 90's and especially in nearby SGV. Much respect and I wish you the very best. And as for you China Mac, job well done!
Fr Fr. There's certain pockets of the nicer areas that still bad. You can talk to the mailman and they will tell you to avoid certain areas of Rosemead, etc. People that aint from the area think its all burbs but when you dive into the trenches of El Monte, La Puente, Baldwin Park, and parts of Montebello they still active. East LA is literally next door to MPK. Gang activities aint like how it once was in the SGV but for sure for sure you aint from LA if you didn't know about gangs. How can you not at least in the 90s to early 2000s.
I be playing raquet ball there in smith park… grew up in Chinatown now live in south El Monte . I’ve always had a good relationship with Asain people and I’ll say this , they about it. Respect to the Asain community.
Thank you for being so courageous in sharing your life story it truly will inspire many young people to learn from you. I pray nothing but positive outcomes in your future and please continue representing the Asian community! 👊🏼
I'm mexican...much love to the Asian community all i gotta say Johnny wit the business ...thats how you conduct your self not like the other hood vlogs dissing opps and all dat ....thats not what it's for .it's to share the struggle people growing up when thru ..a China Mac salute
I was just watching one of your old Vlads, Fresh out talking about your scar. My G you have grown and developed so much. Been subscribed for years but didn’t realize the change happening. inspiring homie 🙌
Im San Carlos Apache but grew up in Sacramento n San Bernadino..my pops was a fire fighter and moved us out to Cali..what I learned is to respect everyone n stand on up for myself......i took that to other states n seen racism..vut Cali raised me.........
AZ natives ain’t no chumps. I grew up around Yaquis and o’odahms they did it all from gang banging to trafficking. But I’ve met some solid San Carlos Apache’s too. Hopis, Diné, Walapai. Crazy ass foo’s!
Man, I love both these dudes for what they do. China Mac and Johnny Chang are the only ones out here who I feel talk about their gang backgrounds without glorifying it but rather discuss it with a retrospective attitude that doesn’t encourage the youth to follow that path. It’s like they show a learning lesson that these kids don’t need to go through the hell on earth that is the life of gang banging but can still be “cool” without it by just being themselves. Keep doing y’all thang guys. One love and peace be with you.
That street you’re standing on (Garvey) is like an expressway for different hoods to drive through and then you had the 10 fwy which is not too far from there. That’s like almost the border of SGV and ELA. Crossing into East LA you have City Terrace on the left and across the 10 fwy on the right is I believe Metro/ cal state LA.
Another dope one. It shows the hang story is the same no matter what color u are. Facts from new york! See he not dry snitching on his self or his ppl.
That brother Johnny Chang has an amazing testimony!!! He went through bad on them streets & w his family but he’s and amazing guy I love that dude! He’s a true man of God and shares his story all over the world now! God bless & protect the both of y’all China Mac & Johnny…
I've loved your videos. I've loved you sharing the different Asian cultures with us. I love that you kinda bring everybody with food. Good luck with your future projects.
The chemistry you and Jonny got is different man… I’ve watched both of y’all deal with Hunnids of mfs but this energy right here is real real different💯👌🏼 I really hope y’all got more shit in store for us, especially us Youngns stuck in the trench tryna make it out. Y’all leading by example PERFECTLY, I kno if y’all did more content together it would go KRAZY, might even motivate some Youngns to get on the same wave. Much luv from Seattle🫡✊🏼💯 Been gettin everyone hip on CMs movement and now Jonny🗣
Man.. this was a FIRE interview... Thank you BOTH for this educational talk.. CHina Mac - Great job my man.. You asked the right questions, you listened, you didn't interrupt.. Great job my man..
This episode is insightful in no small part due to the fact that most Americans only think and Crips and Bloods and he's talking about how Asian gangs operate in a lot of the same ways.
I'm old school, 40+ yrs old but I respect this young homie. Today I'm married into an Asian family (Korean) but I come from a very very poor white abusive family. I did my thing back in the day, put in my own work but then I joined the Marine Corps and turned my life around. The Marines gave me a chance to get out of that lifestyle and today make a great career. When I listen to this young guy I just think of my own life growing up and think of all the things we have in common.
Thanks you guys for representing the many sides of Asian Americans. I almost joined WC in high school in the 90s because of bullying, these really opened my eyes in many ways as an adult if I had joined.
Yo bro when his pops beats him up for getting beat up....that was the turning point...shout out this brother right here! Turf to the temple i can dig it
thanks for sharing this with the asian community bro. this means a lot and it reminds of those days that I got picked on when I first came here. man what a story.
One thing I could tell you is never judge anyone's capabilities off of skin color. We got them in all colors shapes and sizes in New York and one thing you're going to learn in these streets real quick is respect for others.
I respect that...im from st.paul n bak in the 90s i grew up in the project,my friends then was my peopl.from the projects and i rolled with them coz i had no brothers or sisters so i can totally relate and now i made it out n living life as i should...old me dead n gone but still dont push me...
Lol my dad was the opposite. When I got jump back in 7th grade by 4 young Bulldog Mexican gang member just because I was Asian and was walking home from school. My dad told my older brother and his homies to get them back. We drove and stalk them for days and finally hit them up. That foo that jump me white T-shirt was covered in blood. Long story short his parents and their Mexican community cried outrage racism to the principal and I got expelled. Yep it was unfair because Mexican were the majority of Fresno so they won the case even tho they started it. Us Hmong and other Southeast Asians from war torn country of Laos were thrown under the bus.
Im a Chicano born and raised in Southern California and have many Pinoy friends. I HAVE NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR THEM! Son mi familia! Pinoy and Chicano Raza walk side by side! 🙏✌️ 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 🇵🇭 ✊✊🏽✊🏾🤍
I feel for this dude fr. When parents act like that towards a kid it causes them to feel they have no one and sometimes get mixed up with the wrong ppl. It’s something I struggled with in the past and didn’t start to even feel right ab anything until a few years ago. It takes time to heal from shit like that and sometimes doing dumb shit is how u take it out on the world.
Dysfunction in Chinese families is quite normal and stems from China's history of being colonized by the British and by the Japanese. 'China's Century of Humiliation' brought much pain and suffering to the parents who survived hell on earth and then having their children live in a racist society where they had to fight to survive. The Chinese Struggle is still largely unknown today, thank you China Mac for shedding light on our Struggle.
Say Mac, me & you walked through Atlanta during the Stop Asian Hate march. We ended up at a studio later on that night.. Rest In Piece A1Yeezy 🕊️ But might I suggest getting some mics for you and your guests? It would definitely make your videos more “tuned in” & broaden yall vocals alot more. Sometimes we miss the lo’s and catch all the Hi’s or vice versa. Just food for thought if u ever get the chance to see this.
i relate to when he says "it all started when i was a kid i mean i didn't know that i had anger issues i was just was reacting. my dad would beat me so i thought that was normal " my dad would beat me every morning because of any accident i may have had/,misbehaver or any inconvenience perhaps it was because he was a alcoholic or maybe because i always did fuck up either way it was too the point if i thought i was doing wrong i would break down and apologize with hundreds of sorry i just wish i could have been more strong like him

Thanks you guys for representing the many sides of Asian Americans. I almost joined WC in high school in the 90s because of bullying, these really opened my eyes in many ways as an adult if I had joined.
Much respect to Johnny and Mac.
Yo bro when his pops beats him up for getting beat up....that was the turning point...shout out this brother right here! Turf to the temple i can dig it
thanks for sharing this with the asian community bro. this means a lot and it reminds of those days that I got picked on when I first came here. man what a story.
That was life growing up in the 626 in the 90’s. Much love 🙏

One thing I could tell you is never judge anyone's capabilities off of skin color. We got them in all colors shapes and sizes in New York and one thing you're going to learn in these streets real quick is respect for others.
grew up in san gabriel and back then it was wild he's not lying. just how it probably was back in the day everywhere else.
Big respect to both of y’all
Most people won’t say they lost a fight, catching a fade or getting robbed but Jonny is honest about it
U aint really in the street if u never lost a fight or been robbed lol. If someone told me they in the street n never lost a fight i know u full of it
I remember getting 3rd in my first martial art tournament. I was so proud I told my dad and he said “you are useless”. That traumatised me
DAMN LOL
😂🤣
That pretty much summed shit up that a lot of us had to go through. It was rough man.
@@Importman2009 just didn’t feel like telling my dad anything after that
@@eb8348are you close with him now?
Johnny, from ABZ 1226 past is past. We all ASIAN. Stay HUMBLE be KIND to get LOVE & I RESPECT you BROTHER. 1 Love! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I respect that...im from st.paul n bak in the 90s i grew up in the project,my friends then was my peopl.from the projects and i rolled with them coz i had no brothers or sisters so i can totally relate and now i made it out n living life as i should...old me dead n gone but still dont push me...
I've watched Johnny on tiktok, and I could've sworn he said he was from Hazard.
For all wondering smith park belongs to Varrio Sangra Rifa… still active in the city of San Gabriel.
Much respect on all of this 🫡
Lol my dad was the opposite. When I got jump back in 7th grade by 4 young Bulldog Mexican gang member just because I was Asian and was walking home from school. My dad told my older brother and his homies to get them back. We drove and stalk them for days and finally hit them up. That foo that jump me white T-shirt was covered in blood. Long story short his parents and their Mexican community cried outrage racism to the principal and I got expelled. Yep it was unfair because Mexican were the majority of Fresno so they won the case even tho they started it. Us Hmong and other Southeast Asians from war torn country of Laos were thrown under the bus.
Smh Fucc those bulldogs. Think they run Fresno
Not surprised. Asians are on the bottom of the diversity pole
sweet story bro
China Mac” He beat you up right after you got beat up” 😂💀 that’s all bad fr
Mac need to do more content with this dude!!!!!
as someone who grew up in the SGV...its dope to hear these oral histories
Wow so crazy you guys were around the area, I work as the box boy in high ho/ Santa fee liquor
I had a feeling jonhnny was going colab with china mac both are real one
Binge watching the mac and seeing how far he’s come has been 🔥
Gang life is a mirage. There is no brotherhood. Once pushed, each one will turn on each other. Live a simple and humble life.
Im a Chicano born and raised in Southern California and have many Pinoy friends. I HAVE NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR THEM! Son mi familia! Pinoy and Chicano Raza walk side by side! 🙏✌️ 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 🇵🇭 ✊✊🏽✊🏾🤍
Real life I rate how Mac goes to the hood and keeps it 100
I’m Mexican LOVE my
Asian / islander people!
We need more of these hood vlogs 💯💯
Been following Johnny for awhile now. Proud of that dude and what hes doing. Same with you Mac
I feel for this dude fr. When parents act like that towards a kid it causes them to feel they have no one and sometimes get mixed up with the wrong ppl. It’s something I struggled with in the past and didn’t start to even feel right ab anything until a few years ago. It takes time to heal from shit like that and sometimes doing dumb shit is how u take it out on the world.
Johnny and Mac are real ones love the end of video were Mac asked if why he wouldn’t speak on the other issues. That’s what real is!!💯
Dysfunction in Chinese families is quite normal and stems from China's history of being colonized by the British and by the Japanese. 'China's Century of Humiliation' brought much pain and suffering to the parents who survived hell on earth and then having their children live in a racist society where they had to fight to survive. The Chinese Struggle is still largely unknown today, thank you China Mac for shedding light on our Struggle.
Oooo I was hoping there will be more!!! Thanks da lo !!!
More Content with Katz like this who aint everywhere on YT and less No Jumper cast members please China Mac 😂💯
Say Mac, me & you walked through Atlanta during the Stop Asian Hate march. We ended up at a studio later on that night.. Rest In Piece A1Yeezy 🕊️
But might I suggest getting some mics for you and your guests? It would definitely make your videos more “tuned in” & broaden yall vocals alot more. Sometimes we miss the lo’s and catch all the Hi’s or vice versa. Just food for thought if u ever get the chance to see this.
i relate to when he says "it all started when i was a kid i mean i didn't know that i had anger issues i was just was reacting. my dad would beat me so i thought that was normal " my dad would beat me every morning because of any accident i may have had/,misbehaver or any inconvenience perhaps it was because he was a alcoholic or maybe because i always did fuck up either way it was too the point if i thought i was doing wrong i would break down and apologize with hundreds of sorry i just wish i could have been more strong like him
One of the best videos… thank u to both
Great interview China Mac. Salute.
I like Johnny. He's solid. You 2 have great chemistry
All lies
