I wrote a memoir. I like how he talks about the clarity he got from writing his memoir. The memoir writer is able to reflect and this year around the holidays I am thankful for memoir writing, poetry writing and having a blog. Also for who I am and my pride in my Black identity.
Eddie! Stumbled onto your show on vice instantly thought it was dope found fresh off the boat on TH-cam watched most of the episodes still have to go back and watch season 2 hope to see more episodes on vice or wherever... Thanks for putting the burrito spots on blast in the mission definitely gotta drive up to frisco n try em for myself. Thank You.
Eddie Huang gave an excellent takeaway here - Race is a construct - You can’t objectively say what race does what, what race says what, what race do this does that acts like this, its a construct. People stand up for yourself and let yourself define what your race is.
You are right. When the press writes about race it is always along a black and white color line. Or they frame all of the questions along this line. And it doesn't resemble real life. Especially life on the west coast.
It's not exactly clear what the goal is for non-Asian-Americans what value it holds. Because this is probably something transcending society's expectations.
America is a continent, that is the confusion there's about 24 countries. Don't blame people that think taiwan is Thailand. Love you man. The interviewer shi zheng piaolian.
Funny, going to law school just for the fun of it, only in America, the ticket to acceptance. This guy could not be more American if he tried. Not sure about the black/white thing. You have Italian-American culture as well, like godfather, pasta, pizza etc.
again what's disrepectful about being good at a profession? should African Americans bein offended if jokes are made about them being good at sport? People like you are like being snowflakes being hurt at the slightest hint of being insulted.@@dananajj
@@dananajj How am I hurt? I'm defensive of Chris Rocks joke not my own feelings? Again please explain to me how a seemingly compliment can be taken as an insult. Seems like you're so anxious to play the race card you and your ilk jump on any opportunity turn an innocent joke into a racist expression. chris rocks joke not my own feelings.
@@franklinhu573 You personally attacked me and called me a snowflake and said I was hurt from Chris Rock's comments. Clearly it's a misunderstanding. But carry on with your misguided ways.
Eddie is so wise, diplomatic and clever. He sees big picture most of us don't. I think he's great!
Wow, this guy is kinda like a wise old sage, and he’s still young...excellent interview 👍🏼👍🏼
“This is not what my parents came to America for”- good point, very powerful.
Well the thing is most people don’t care… unless you fight really hard for it
He is so articulate and well spoken

Eddie Huang knows, I mean he KNOWS, and he can articulate critical thoughts with precision.

as a Chinese student gonna study in the US law school, I m inspired by his speech especially I am also a hiphop music fan. Too many similarities!
Eddie is The One! Love this guy!

I'm a fan of this guy now..and i'm going to watch that show... I think i'm seen the first episode.
He's really smart.
Truth in all he says.

Chinese Americans abroad is very different from what everyone thinks as "going home". It's more conflicting than it immediately appears.

Tiffany Epiphany so you feel conflicted as well

How about if I this man is a lawyer
9:52 It was the opposite for me as a kid when I said I was from Thailand they thought I was from Taiwan lol

Yo what the heck is the next story about?! Someone explain the comic book character with the cultural impact!!
Eddie is too smart to be a lawyer
Yo does Eddie's brother still own the fried chicken joint in Chengdu? What's it called?
12:51 No one asked about your feelings yet girl!
Man Papa Chicken was the bomb, sadly its closed now

I have to say, I prefer blackish way way more than fresh off the boat.

didn't see anything disrespectful in chris rock's joke. so we're good accountants, that's disrespectful?
And that's the problem. You not seeing there is a problem.
again what's disrepectful about being good at a profession?
should African Americans bein offended if jokes are made about them being good at sport? People like you are like being snowflakes being hurt at the slightest hint of being insulted.@@dananajj
@@franklinhu573 Funny to see your overaction. Your use of defensive language makes it look like you are the one who got hurt.

and he said absolutely nothing about 'returning to china' . just a bunch of crap about race. did he learn anything from living in china? seems not.
Gotta read the book.
