I should be the one thanking you! WatchCut was awesome and to be in there was so cool. Looks like we might have to do another one in Japanese next time though haha. Japanglish?
i already subscribed your channel...watchcut & hiho kids...i hope in future, you'll have more subscribers and viewers too max & make more interesting videos like this...gambate!!!
Hapa representation is important. I'm half Japanese, half German and never felt like I fit in enough with either culture. Marina is a great role model!
Brittany I'm half Japanese and half german and came to New Zealand at the age of 6 and struggled with my identity as I never felt I really fitted in to any culture. It took me a longtime to finally feel at home in New Zealand and to accept my ethnic background. I think becoming a christian really made the difference as I realized that "I'm a child of God" and that it doesn't matter what my cultural background is. I'm not ashamed of my culture, but now I don't feel like I need to fit into a "box". People still often ask me where I'm from as an adult but it doesn't bother me anymore, I realized that I am unique, fearfully and wonderfully made by God 😊
That's wonderful to hear. It's always nice to meet people from the same ethnic background and talk about each of our experiences as halfies. Thankfully, I now embrace my cultural ambiguity and am not bothered when people ask me what I am.
I love this video!! I was born in Japan but raised in Bellevue but currently live in Seattle, I appreciate the local aspect that Marina and I can share. This is a neat video, and I like the casual conversations inside the interview. Blessed to be Japanese!
So after hearing you two speaking Japanese, i realized how bad i miss hearing someone other then my mom speak Japanese. It would be really cool to have a video with you speaking Japanese. But also everyone please if you guys can recommend any japanese youtubers, i would appreciate it
and you can be sure you'd embarass her as well. Just a word of advice, if hitting on her include poetry or one of you being uncomfortable, then just abort mission.
@@ctsd623 ??? You guys are too much. He just said her eyes were worth a good poem. He didn't say anything about marrying her, eating her eyeballs or whatever. I'm a girl and I thought that was a harmless compliment.
Im also a half Japanese ✌🏼️and just discovered this video somewhere on my feed, after watching this I immediately check your account and found a lot of videos about being a half. So, Max, count me in as one of your subscriber! 👍🏼❤️
Hi! I was watching Cut videos and ended up here. Well, I came to thank u both, Marina and Max, for what u've been talking about in here... I was borned and raised in Brazil, but all my grandpas and grandmas came from Japan to Brazil during the early 20th century. I hadn't figured any identity crisis in the childhood nor adolescence.. but now, looking back to the experiences I've choose to have and to wich paths I have been taking... I have to admit that identity has always been an important issue to me... By 2012 to 2013 I had the chance to pass a year abroad where I could met some others japanese descendents from other countries and also some japanese people living out of Japan. Since then I had been paying more attention to my own cutural identity and I am learning to review and to be grateful to my own background as a brazilian-japanese person. All those videos, articles and groups I am getting to know now are making me feel a different and new sense of belonging... and to understand better some anguishes I didn't recognize since hadn't had a name to put on. Well, I feel like I could go all day long talking to you guys... but for now I will stay here.. tks again Sorry for my english. To 2018, I hope we all could see better our similarities as human beings. ;) hugs from Brazil
she said, American as in 6th or so generation and she tried to explain like swedish? some family just don't talk about ethnicity just because they're so mixed and it happened a lot in the US and Canada. don't just jumped into conclusion..
Daniel Takakura Yeah, so she used it to refer to her ethnicity, not her nationality. Look, I never assumed that she had problematic thoughts or beliefs, but she used 'American' to counter balance her Japanese ethnicity. That doesn't refer to nationality because you can't have half nationalities, and because nationality tells you nothing about a person's appearance. And this is the first place I've heard 'American' to refer to ethnicity. I will say that it is problematic to use 'American' to refer to ethnicity. Obviously, she meant it to mean 'white'. But that implies that 6th gen white Americans are somehow more 'American' than non-whites or the recently arrived. However, nationality applies equally to all, and we're having trouble appreciating that in America today.
You know what? I watched another video of half Asian/half White young adults and the MAJORITY also said that they were half (insert Asian country) and 'half American' when they were asked what their ethnicity was. I found it very odd. How are people who are born and raised in America so limited in how they view what an American is? Do they not even consider themselves 'full-American' because they are only half white even though they were born and raised here? Interesting.
harlemw651 Yeah, I've begun to notice that too. I have a couple thoughts. On Japanese variety programs, they will often have people from different countries describe differences between their home country and Japan. The 'American' is almost always white, I can't recall it being otherwise. Japan's citizenry is 99% Japanese. Conceptually, they must conflate ethnicity and nationality. So they must look at America, predominantly white and mostly white in its leadership, and see whites as ethnically American. Someone growing up in a Japanese house with Japanese parents, I don't know, might get a similar outlook. My second thought is that maybe for mixed-race Americans who have their nationality questioned on the basis of their Japanese appearance come to see their Japanese features as 'not American'. White guy here, living in America, no one asks me where I'm from. So if it's only your Japanese 'half' that gets marked as non-American, you might come to view your white half as American. That invites the cultural comparisons as well. "Ah, not only are some of my features not American, but my bento, my family's language, etc., are not American either." The natural step is to assume that those counterparts (lunch boxes, English, etc.) are American. And there you have it. A conceptual splicing of whiteness and Americanness. None of this would be a big deal if we didn't have people in our country right now trying to fight for an "American" America.
Yeah, I could totally see a Japanese person or someone who hadn't been to the U.S. or studied it's history equating 'American' with White, just a little jarring to hear so many young, especially non-white (or not fully white) Americans describe it that way. But, if they also only grew up in all-white or predominantly white areas, which I think many hapas have, maybe they really haven't experienced a diverse America themselves. So maybe they have the foreign parent who moved to America with the idea that white = American, and then grew up in an all white area that solidified that thought, and then they had an American parent that, perhaps, never corrected that line of thinking or that maybe wasn't in the picture at all. From the videos I've seen it seems like a lot of hapas aren't really close with the white side of their family. Either way, I hope as Americans, especially non-white Americans, they have experiences or do research that expands their thinking. They are fully American, too, along with all the non-white citizens that they share their country with.
so interesting getting other insights to growing up as a hapa. I'm hapa, but filipino and white, but I faced a lot of similar identity crises, especially with relating more to my asian half. my boyfriend is hafu (japanese + white) but 3rd generation so I see a lot of struggles in terms of him trying to connect with his japanese culture, but not having a lot of exposure taught to him growing up because his japanese mom was born and raised in california. thank you!
Here from Marina and as a half Asian I've never really seen a video like this before which resonated with so many things and feelings I've rarely discussed. Really cool!
I REALLY love your videos! i'm kind of hapa because my grandparents were the one who came to Argentina and my dad was born here and married my mom who has spanish roots, but i grew up with this beautiful culture around me and i relate so much with all the things that you share, it wasn't easy for me as little to explain the other kids why my name was Yumi and where my family was from because we are not so many japanese families here but i've always been proud of my roots and i try everyday to learn more and more about my cultures, thank you for sharing this videos!
I'm a hapa too. Is that correct? Hapa or is it hafa? Oh, well whatever. I'm 66 years old and my mother was a Japanese 'war bride'. My father was a soldier in the US Army. It was 'illegal' for them to get married at the time. My mom is now 92 and living in a Japanese assisted living place. I don't speak a word (or read or write) of Japanese because it was frowned upon back in my day. Learn English only, my Dad said. Sad, but true.
Hey George, sorry to hear you didn't learn Japanese -- but it's never too late! I'm the father of a hapa, 64 years old and living in Japan. Just recently decided to study kanji after avoiding it for years. 頑張って！(Good luck!)
Every asian kid had the packed lunch moment even here in the UK. Looking back at it now everyone was so weirded out with my chicken adobo and rice but they were eating ham and mayo sandwhich. My mum actually cooked and seasoned my food not just put things on top of each other and called it food. I always ate my chicken adobo on lunch times.
I was stationed in Hawaii in the Marines and more than Hapa the population is Hapa. I went to school with several Eurasian kids. They were good students, good athletes and very popular. Wonder if there is a name for 1/4 Asian people. Hapa may be a large segment of the population soon.
I'm half Japanese, my mom is Caucasian (English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Italian, Slovenian, Croatian, French.) and my dad is Japanese. I look a lot more Asian but my sister looks a lot more white.
+Sage Mirei I am Chinese-Czech. 7/8 Chinese, 1/8 Czech. Compared to my sibling and cousins, I look the most European. I feel proud to have 3% Czech as part of my DNA! It is all about genetics!
Half-Japanese as well, born and raised here in America. Went to a elementary/middle school that offered Japanese as a language along 3-4 others. Finishing senior year in high school where the same languages as elementary/middle school are taught. I struggle heavily with Kanji (Reading and Writing) but I can talk extremely well. Didn't know Marina was Japanese lol
My HAFU son and I just moved to the PNW from Tokyo, Japan in October 2017. He did grades 1 - 3 in regular shogakko. I hope one day he can be in a CUT video!
Growing up, my mom gave me Indian food up until middle school so I got used to the lunchbox moment really quick. Haha Love the interview! Marina is so sweet :)
Wooow! Halfie like me! It´s great to know there are people and how we create our identity from the cultures and believes that our parents have us practice as a custom. And I love the lunch box moment, even though it was a cringy moment for me during middle school and high school XD And don't feel bad about having identity crisis, it's worth going through! Keep being awesome you guys!
The word 'kindergarten' in Cantonese is 幼稚園 - jau zi jyun (the 'j' is pronounced 'y'). And 'elementary school student' is either 小學學生 - siu hok hok saang or 小學生 - siu hok saang. ... It is amazing how technical words in Cantonese, Korean, and Japanese are so similar!
I legit slipped and asked for a Jasmine mixed tea at a Tapex instead of a Milk tea. The girl taking my order was also mixed asian/caucasion, so we had a moment of understanding. Hapas unite!!

Marina's name in Cantonese (Traditional Characters) is 萬里奈 - pronounced: maan lei noi.
I love this girl
So if you guys get married, will your children be considered, half Japanese and half whit as well ?
Dawoud Khalifa They would be considered 1/4 Japanese, 1/4 White, 1/4 Japanese, and 1/4 White.
Cool One so half Japanese and half white then? Lol
Dawoud Khalifa yeah they'd be 1/2 Japanese 1/2 white
AID LEGGO ARMY IGOT7 it was a joke and that's not how you add fractions :0)
