    I'm pretty sure between the TH-cam channel dedicated to his daughter and the modelling and dance/performance training that he wants his daughter to be a celebrity in China. .and it's quite attainable. But I'm not sure it's the best kind of thing for an 8 year old to always be the center of attention. . certainly when she is older it would be great as a career IF she wants it. Child celebrities don't have great track records. I'm saying this as a father of a boy currently in China.

    Having mixed race kids in China, maybe you could pay more attention to whether or not your kids are getting bullied in school. I'm mixed myself and got bullied, some of my classmates in primary school called me "The foreigner"and liked to hold me down on the floor while spitting on my face. Caused me a lot of problems during my childhood. Still even these days the stares from random people on the strees once in a while are enough to trigger my anxiety.

    • @therock8224
      @therock8224 5 ปีที่แล้ว +49

      A mixed race kid attending an international school will have no such problems. Only in local schools might it be an issue.
      As for people staring at you on the street, are you sure they are really staring at you? It's easy to be paranoid when you have low self-esteem. That being said, I feel sympathetic towards your situation, but all countries have problems with racial discrimination. It used to be worse than it is today, even in China. Countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Myanmar are a little better as they are more ethnically diverse than China so a mixed-race Asian/Caucasian person barely stands out to begin with.

    • @therock8224
      @therock8224 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @n i n a Hmm. When was this? It's rare for me to hear anyone call me a "farang" despite me speaking the language fluently. And no, I'm not even of mixed heritage. The only times I am regularly called a "farang" is by hill tribes at a roadside market in the mountains of northern Thailand - they're trying to be nice though, even though I don't care too much for the word but context is everything.
      Everywhere else, most Thais are polite and very rarely make such remarks although children and teenagers are more likely to use it than adults. As for my children, most Thais if they're curious, will simply ask what's their other race/ethnicity? Haven't heard anyone call my children "farang" I think times have changed or you are hearing things that aren't there.
      That isn't to say Thailand isn't a judgmental society, but both westerners and mixed race Eurasian Thais are so common these days, with the number of Thais in relationships with foreigners being far higher than in any other Asian country other than Singapore and the Philippines. Therefore, Thais are by and large more used to seeing farang and Eurasian Thais than Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean and other Asian nationalities.

    • @therock8224
      @therock8224 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @n i n a Another thing is, a mall is the last place I'd expect passersby to notice differences between people. Many shopping mall restaurants and stores attract foreign shoppers and patrons. It's to be expected that an American restaurant like Sizzler will have westerners as patrons on a daily basis. That shouldn't surprise any Thai. In fact, what surprises me more is that Thais have taken a liking to Sizzler as they have, given it's "farang food".
      I would expect people to call out "farang" much more at a country fair in rural Isarn where there are few other foreigners around.
      That being said, the more upmarket the mall, the more sophisticated and diverse the patrons are going to be - no one is going to point out a farang or an Indian or black person at MBK, Paragon or even Mega Bang Na. That would be ridiculous because some of those malls see more foreign patrons than Thais anyway.
      Conversely, if you go to a Big C in an upcountry town where few foreigners live or travel to, which is where the lower middle class masses shop, then you may find people a little more curious though usually no one pays attention to farang and even less so to mixed race kids (unless they're very cute). 20 years ago, it was different - nowadays Thais have got more important things to do than care about farang or mixed race kids walking through malls.
      I can't imagine there's a single Thai anywhere in the country who hasn't seen a farang - we're everywhere! This is hardly surprising given the tourism industry.

    • @therock8224
      @therock8224 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @n i n a I see. Thanks for sharing your story. I certainly hear the word "farang" uttered from time to time, generally more from people I know than strangers but it's usually harmless though I totally get why you don't like the word. Besides, technically you aren't a farang anyway.

    "Do they treat her like a Chinese person...?"
    I think he answered that question very well. I'm half-Korean and grew up in Korea and can relate a lot to what that child is experiencing. I think that this father is doing a really good job and seeing things that many interracial parents do not see: that being unique has both strengths and weaknesses but it's mostly important to capitalize on the strengths. Interracial parents who have half-asian children should really see things this way.

    I am half Chinese and half Ethiopian, grew up in China in the early 2000s until I was 8, and totally relate to everything that was said in this video. I very evidently do not look Chinese (darker skin, curly hair, etc.) but speak Mandarin fluently, and that throws people off the most. It must be more accepting now in 2017, but racism was something I experienced very significantly in school. It made me smile hearing all these positive things said about raising mixed children in China now :)

    In China I didn t fit because I wasn't full Chinese and felt inherently less.
    I moved to America and was classed as white passing by minorities so treated as inherently less, yet white people see me as obviously other so I get treated like they are afraid to offend me so much so I get put in a corner that is again treated so gently I get treated as less.
    Mixed Chinese brings a feeling of fitting nowhere, belonging to no group, excluded by everyone. Too white to Chinese, too Chinese to be white. My feeling is I belong nowhere. I expected less racism in America, but people are so obsessed with race and the privilege of being "white" or an entitlement for other minorities to treat people mixed with white as less than. American whites are the least racist people I have delt with, which came as a surprise. I didn't expect to be treated worst by other minorities.

    I have a mixed-race daughter in China and raising her here can be very rewarding, however it is also quite difficult at times, especially when random people try to touch and fuss over her. Although this is done with the best of intentions it is somewhat intrusive. Overall, I would say I am happy to be raising her here for the early years of her life but eventually it would make sense if we leave. I want her long-term to feel like part of a community and not on the outside looking in, constantly been labelled based on her ethnicity.

      Gary Wood saw that exact thing happening at a school I taught at recently. There was one mixed race kid in the school in grade 2 and he was getting that bullshit from others. It just confirmed for me that it’s not worth thinking about sending your kids to school here. Unless you can afford a good international school somewhere like shanghai. Back home they’re guaranteed to have classmates of different races including other mixed raced kids.

    I have triplet Irish-American/Hong Kong-Chinese mixed nieces. They were living in Shanghai, and as mixed triplets, they really got too much attention. (Especially in a country with 1 child policy - multiple siblings were already unusual). People are commenting about how much attention mixed kids get in China - imagine triplet mixed kids. They really couldn't go to crowded places - lots of people would be pointing and screaming "san bao tai" (triplets) quite aggressively - to the point it scared the triplets. I hate to say it, but sometimes it felt like they were treated like a freak show. My brother decided to move the family to Canada - now the kids speak English, Mandarin, Cantonese and quite good French and a bit of Japanese. All 3 are superstars!

      @inbred autist Actually, a lot of people in Mexico think that they're all "mestizo", but this is misleading and has led to the invisibilization of other people groups and of the fact that NOT ALL Mexicans are mixed race. Mexico has been a melting pot of cultures since 1521, so it is common to think that by now most people would be mixed, but that is most certainly not the case and even if Mexico was a Spanish colony, that doesn't mean that it is only European/Amerindian. Yes, people from all over Europe came to Mexico, but so did people from Asia and Africa, even if at a lesser extent. In my city everyone is mostly Korean/Lebanese/Afrocaribbean/Mayan/European and we acknowledge our multicultural and multiracial origins, we are not just European/Amerindian. It is the same for the rest of Mexico, Afromexican populations have disappeared from the public eye and most of the Afromexican population got assimilated, but we still carry their genes. The same goes for our Filipino heritage! If you look at me, you'd probably think that I'm white, but I had a DNA test and I saw that I am 70% European (only 30% Iberian), 8% Amerindian, 8% Middle East & Northern Africa... Those are all things you'd expect from Mexican people, since we were a European colony and the Spanish were invaded by the Arabs after all. HOWEVER, the remaining 14% was mostly ASIAN and from places I would've never expected! I have Indonesian, Chinese, Filipino and Vietnamese ancestry, as well as some West African blood! And I am an average "white" Mexican! The thing is, I am not an exception, most Mexicans are the same, no matter what their dominant genes are, we are all a mix of everything and we should be proud of that, because it really does make us unique. There are some people who are not mixed, nevertheless. That is particularly true for some indigenous peoples and for some white people whether it be in Mexico City or in a Menonite community. There are also many first generation Mexicans whose parents are fresh off the boat, and they are most definitely not mixed race! That's whenever I hear people say I am half Mexican (or Brazilian, Colombian, American, Canadian, etc) I don't even know what to expect, because that doesn't say anything about you after all, what does it mean to be Mexican? My grandpa was white and from an upper middle class and he spoke Mayan at home. My grandma came from an impoverished Jewish German household and she spoke Yiddish at home! I get sad when people don't realize how diverse we are and this is mostly because American media and Mexican media as well fail to depict the reality of what we actually are. I wish we could see more Afromexican and Asian-Mexicans on TV shows as main characters, there are so many in my city that I think it is heartbreaking for them not to see themselves represented in their national TV! For them to go to Mexico City and be asked if they speak Spanish or how they learned it. Let's embrace our multicultural heritage and accept each other in spite of our physical differences, we all share the experience of being Mexican, we share our food, traditions, humor, pain and the land we stand on! That is the real essence of being Mexican, not where your genes come from and that is most definitely not only Europe/America. :D

    Laowhy86: I continue to love your videos, this was an especially heartwarming one. My wife and I have two daughters half Caucasian and half Japanese, we have similar experiences when we lived in Japan. Everything from who each culture raises a child and the different things parents do (example: in Japan the kids often sleep in the same bed as the parents until they are about 5 or 6) to how society becomes so curious/attracted towards mixed kids. As an American, I totally understand how there is an urge to raise one's kids to enjoy life as you live it and not cram every minute into a child's education, this is a big departure from the Chinese/Japanese style of cramming math and overall education every single second for preparation to the life changing school exams. I think that system definitely works for some kids who are very studious, but for those who are more creative, artistic, creative minded kids, that style of education can be very stressful. Kids are not all made out of the same a cookie mold. It is a pitty more school systems don't test first for learning style and then give kids the plan based off their personality. That's an issue in every country's education system I think...... Anyway, thanks for the video!

    This was really great to watch as I have a daughter with my Chinese girlfriend. When we went back to Shanghai to visit, my daughter and I definitely got a lot of comments and looks. I think because it's hard for most people to identify where I'm from, I got just as much attention as my daughter did. People would ask my girlfriend where I was from and where she met me. I got guesses as being everything from Russian to Middle Eastern and even being mixed myself. I'm actually Colombian but many even when being told that, had no real idea where that is. My daughter got a lot of positive comments as well but there were a few times when the attention got a little overwhelming.

Back when I went, China hadn't made the swing toward being more Nationalistic. If you're Colombian, play up on that more as sentiment towards America has soured. To be honest, I won't even go back because I am an American citizen. Check out Laowhy's video when he had to escape from China. I'm not trying to scare you, but just know that the political climate has changed since I went.

    • @xenotypos
      @xenotypos 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Was thinking the same thing. I often "heard" that in east asia, half asians half caucasians are considered beautiful, especially in places like Japan (I even heard a Japanese (just one) saying that that particular mix erase the aesthical downsides of each races). Honestly, I was thinking "it's just because we only see the beautiful ones and not the others", and I still think it's not totally wrong. But I have to admit that from my personal (limited) experience, each time I saw a random half white half asian girl, even if the parents aren't that stunning (no offense for the dad here), she's gorgeous. Even those that don't do any youtube stuff, regular people (though the one on this video was beyond them honestly). Why is that.

    • @raquelalbano170
      @raquelalbano170 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      xenotypos Lucky genes! I need to find myself some good Asian male genes to make a beautiful baby hihihihi (this is obviously a joke).
      On a purely scientific level though, I wonder why that happens. Maybe the best features are dominant?

    • @xenotypos
      @xenotypos 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Since it's the features liked in east asia, and not "especially" liked (or disliked) in the west, I think their preference may also be due to their own beauty standard (and mine it seems). Since it's cultural ("best features" is a subjective concept), science may not be of a great a help.
      Let's say it's a nice coincidence. At the very least it totally works on me (and them).

    • @raquelalbano170
      @raquelalbano170 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      xenotypos You'd be surprised. I meant symmetry and the like when I said best features. Although beauty standards differ greatly around the world, humans have some basic common preferences that makes us attractive, and maybe these are dominant? Survival of the species and all that.
      Now, about the other characteristics you are referring to, I honestly don't know... thinking of starting your own harem? :p

I began to notice that when I'm speaking Mandarin with Chinese my body language was different than when I was with foreigners speaking English... It really stood out to me one particular day - I had moved to America for university (which had very few Asians) and I saw a group of Chinese parents & kids on campus who looked lost. So I walked up to them and asked in Mandarin if I could help them... but I hadn't been speaking mandarin for a while and I was actually struck by how my body mannerisms felt different as I spoke mandarin.

    Just watched your video and it brings back a lot of very fond memories. Straight away, I'd like to say that you both have very lovely daughters and you have every right as fathers to be as proud as you can be. I have two Eurasian daughters myself, the eldest of which I just sent off to college. They grew up until their middle school years in Asia, and a lot of what you say resonates with me. Ignore what the detractors say, as their comments come from a place of complete ignorance. With that being said, mixed race kids will always have a unique perspective and be able to understand issues from more than one side. They are also generally more empathetic and slower to judge. They possess a very heightened level of curiosity and are voracious consumers of both their parents' cultures as well. As much as they learn from you, you will also learn from them. Just as you say, they have an unbiased outlook on new experiences and it's great to be able to tap into that as a parent.
    I thoroughly enjoy your videos and looks forward to your adventures and also seeing your daughter grow! ^_^

    An American friend with a Chinese wife in Harbin had a beautiful mixed blood baby back before the Olympics. Somehow, the kid got noticed and was put into some of local TV commercials during the lead-up to the Olympics.
    Regarding half-bloods (not mud bloods; that's a different story), we always thought of Bruce Lee as Chinese, of course, but I learned quite awhile ago that he was actually half white, so he was bullied when he was a kid for not looking Chinese enough, and apparently that is why he learned to fight. Similarly, I find it hilarious that people call Obama black, and would passionately vote for or against him because he is black, but actually he is half white. Culturally, one could say he was mostly white, as he was raised mostly in a white family (albeit for a time with some Chinese-Indonesian connection also), but I suppose because people would perceive him as black, he had no choice but to adopt the identity of being black and not half white.

  • @miknes12345
    @miknes12345 7 ปีที่แล้ว +106

    It is so funny that the parents of mixed race children always talk about the big advantage these children have of being part of 2 cultures, but in fact nobody asks the children if they agree. I am mixed white/asian and growing up(and even to this day), I would not consider it an advantage, but in fact a huge disadvantage to be mixed race.
    I grew up in a white environment and have always identified myself more with this side, so it hurts a lot if you are called a foreigner and 'typecasted' as such when you have close to zero identification with that country your other parent came from. Luckily I had more european features growing up so I could often hide behind that, but I would still at least fairly regularly be treated differently and asked nosy questions(what are you, where are you from etc etc) and once the other person's curiosity had been satisfied, you'd then be put in a box and the only thing that person would think of you would be as the 'Asian'. Of course it also gave me problems when I would be out with my Asian parent. I am ashamed how this hurt my mother when I was embarassed to be seen with her, but keep in mind, it was not very easy for me as a child either. Children don't want to be different, they just want to fit in. In fact, this is one of the most frustrating aspects - you stop being a person, but are instead just treated as an ethnicity and any kind of attention you are getting is directed towards your ethnic make up rather than just being treated like any normal person.
    To this day I feel uncomfortable divulging that I am mixed race, because it generally means I am treated differently and forced into a lot of uncomfortable conversations. Even when it has worked to my advantage like eliciting a lot more interest in me from girls, I never enjoyed it or took advantage of it, because I'd just liked to be appreciated as a person. I am reminded of a Native American actor who once said, he wished he could just for once get a role where he was 'Just a man', rather than always having to play an Apache. It might be hard to believe, but that you are mixed race, doesn't mean that you necessarily identify with that other half and enjoy having vouch for everything that culture stands for. You might actually not speak the language or be very familar with that culture and as strange as it sounds, it might be just as alien to you as is to a non mixed race person. I am glad that my children look fully caucasian so they don't have to endure the burden I've had to. So, one last appeal. For goodness sake, stop saying if you are 100% white or 100% asian what an advantage mixed race children have. You have no clue how it feels unless you are walking in those shoes yourself

      Scientifically speaking, mixed race is advantageous as you inherit the perks of both races.
      You may not like being mixed race but I know plenty of people who are like you and are proud to represent two races.
      Being mixed race is advantageous, reading your statement of why it's disadvantageous, you offer no explanation other than having trouble to identify.
      If identity is such a big problem for you and you actually care so much as to the lengths of which you describe then I'd advise you to maybe see a life coach?
      It just simply sounds like your not comfortable in your skin. Whereas, where I'm from interracial relationships is seen in a good light. Most of my mixed race friends don't even care that they're mixed.
      Instead of feeling pity for yourself, be proud of who you are. Society doesn't shun you. You're representing two races which scientifically speaking is extremely advantageous. Be proud that your parents overcame geography to fall in love and produce a child such as yourself.

It's always interesting to see first hand the struggles and things people may face raising mixed children in mixed/not mixed environments. Not all cultures believe in doing things the same way, and as I kid I did feel that pull between all the different cultures I was around. I never learned Spanish, and I only speak Cantonese at an elementary school level, so English is my primary language. Cultures become an interesting when they have to mix together and find a way to unify. Now as an adult, my husband is caucasian, so I know our future children are going to be even more mixed.

    I think mixed kids are the cutest kids. I have 2 of them myself. I immigrated here from Taiwan 44 years ago. My wife is Caucasian. In the US, we get stares from older white people and as well as Chinese people that point and stare at us. When my kids were toddlers, they looked very Chinese. When my wife would take them to the store sometimes people ask her if our kids were adopted from China.

      I doubt this is true. Plenty of successful boys too. Just seems to be the case that people are having more girls than boys. Most families I know have girls; a few with 2 children have been blessed to have a boy and girl but many end up with 2 girls.

    • @boydmccollum692
      @boydmccollum692 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s pretty universal when a person comes from a homogenous culture/race/ethnicity. I think a lot of it has to do with pattern recognition. For a Chinese person always around other Chinese people, they can see the variations in a person’s features. The same for people in predominantly white countries, or black countries, etc. It’s the same way that we can recognize family members easier than friends than complete strangers. If you meet someone once, let’s say a person who works at a store. It can be difficult to recognize them the next time you go there. Another way to look at it is with spoken Chinese. Before I learned a bit of Chinese, the words all seemed to flow together without distinction. Once I had some familiarity with the language, I could make out distinct words and sentences. My wife who is Chinese, has the same experience with English and also recognizing white people, especially when she first meets them. Different people may do it differently, but think about how you identify people at first glance - maybe you take note if they are male/female, tall/short, heavy/thin, dark hair/light hair, brown eyes/blue eyes, long/short hair, etc. How would describe someone your friend doesn’t know, but you want your friend to meet up with them without you there.
      You’re in the Netherlands - I was there a few years ago, and a lot of people looked very similar. The women looked very similar and the men did too. But the Dutch (and Germans, and many other people in different countries in Europe) are pretty homogenous. I think it’s a bit easier in the US since we have a broader range of backgrounds based on how we all ended up coming to the country and the various lengths of time we’ve been here.
      You can even narrow it down to sub groups of people - like athletes where their sport really changes or promotes similar body types. It’s easy to say, that person looks like a football player or that person looks like a triathlete, etc. Strength athletes look similar, but if you’ve been involved enough, it’s becomes easier to tell the difference between a powerlifter and a cross-fitter and a bodybuilder. Let’s say you met a football player then went to a practice to find them again, 1 person out of maybe 50 or 100 players, it could be difficult. Or you might meet a Marine and he seems to have a unique look, but then you go on base and damn if all Marines don’t look a lot alike lol.
      TL;DR - people look more identifiable the more you’re around them. People looks more similar the less you are around them.

    I thought your comment that a mix raced child in small town Alabama might cause stares was funny. Our son is half Caucasian and half Asian(Filipino/Vietnamese) and even here in small town Alabama it’s accepted and normal, lol. It definitely wouldn’t have been 20-30 years ago. Its definitely more difficult in China than the USA to have a mixed race kid. I love China, but raising a child there would be tough. Enjoyed the videos.
