As an Asian, I LOVE that this movement is finally taking place. However, I'm south Asian, so I guess it doesn't necessarily apply to me, we still get so much hate. I'm 13 and have experienced racism for my religion, culture, and don't even get me started on my food. You have translated my exact thoughts into such an impactful video, I got chills! I hope this video blows up :))
I know that anxious feeling. My mom is an immigrant from Mexico. And I’m like please don’t anyone be racist. Or when I’m alone and no one is aware I’m Latina and they say some off the rails stuff. I’m like really, now I gotta argue with this person and defend my people. It’s sad and the shit needs to STOP.
I moved to the west coast recently, people are so racist against Latin Americans and it’s not talked about enough. Had to put this lady in place for speaking bad about them and her thinking I would agree. I’m Asian but lived with roommates of all backgrounds. Sometimes I wonder why she thought it was okay to vent to me. it’s either you hate us or you use us as a pawn for the “model minority.”
You speak from the heart and so eloquently....protecting our elderly is so important...protecting them from general ignorance must be exhausting and I am positive that you do it very well. Good job:)
I think it's really important to share this kind of stuff. A lot of people don't know that eye-contact, and other things that show vulnerability in "white" culture when speaking/introducing yourself aren't common in Asian culture. We don't learn anything about Asian politeness in school unfortunately, or even that much about First Nations, or African North Americans unless you take an elective in highschool; even then you can only pick one.
It was so moving watching you cook, something many of us Asians do to show love and care to others, while talking about this. My heart is in a million pieces. I think of my family, and all they have survived as Japanese and Korean Americans, and feel sick knowing that they're STILL not safe.
Another great video, and a heartbreaking story. I'm so upset by the events that are happening, the racism and hate being directed toward Asian people :'(
As an Afro person, I think I can sympathize. I get very anxious thinking about my mother going out in public, and I try to accompany her or run her errands when I can. My mother, having come of age during the era of the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s, is a very outspoken woman. ***BIPOC + AAPI Solidarity***
Right on Broh !! I have been fighting for Black American Rights over 40 years !! At the forefront, fighting to abolish the police choke-hold, and continuing the fight of decent black men held in custody needlessly. I keep a file that I call Black Justice. Although I am Caucasian and Cherokee Indian, I am proud to do my part for the great & wonderful Black Americans ! 💓
Thanks for sharing this..I am comforted knowing that i am not alone. My parents want to visit me this Summer from Korea because we just bought our first home and i am sooo anxious for them.. especially after the incident in Goergia the other day...I am horrified imagining they won't behave according to American culture and therefore we would be harassed or something. It's my worst nightmare...
@@sunyoungpark910 I will pray for your family, and don't worry you'll be all right as long as you all stay together in groups two or three or more. Never travel alone in the big cities anymore especially if you are a woman or an older man !
It is so wierd. When i experience racism, i am in a "flight" mode. Even as i am speaking up for myself, my anxiety level goes thru the roof. My voice gets higher and thinner. My accent would get thicker. When this lady was comming at my mom and me in a costco parking lot, i was in this " fight mode." Everything was clearer. I didnt mince words. I was not overly apologetic. My voice was deeper. I had someone to protect and that was more important than my aversion to a confrontation.
Omg I can so relate to the typewriter and “lets send a letter”. As a daughter of French immigrants, this was my life from an early age, too. The discrimination was ever present but more subtle than what your family has to endure. Thank you so much for bringing this to light. Also, I have been eating your mushroom toast on repeat.
Watched this twice 'cause the first time I was merely soaking in your words and the tone of your voice. My prayers go out to the families of those women.
As an immigrant from West Africa, I can totally identify with your story today of protecting and advocating for your parents, especially your father. I’ve been through the same thing! Thank you for sharing!
I am not Asian but I can empathize with your words. Being Mexican American I always resented helping my parents with what I coined American barriers. Now as an adult I realized how much needed to be untangled from their experience in America. And no they were never here illegally. Such a beautiful video 💕
I love your message to the world, and your own personal story. I found myself tearing up all whilst watching you cook this amazing food I have never even heard of before. Thank you for blessing the internet with your message.
I was lucky enough to spend a few weeks in South Korea. I have never been treated with more kindness and warmth and welcome by any other group of people (that’s saying a lot since I am a Jew that grew up in Greece). Thank you for sharing your stories and culture with all of us. My heart breaks for the hate that I see in the world and especially America. ❤️
As always you deliver beautiful food with a beautiful calming voice and a story that absolutely kicks you in the gut. You are friggen awesome and an inspiration.
I love how you balance cooking and connecting on a deeper level. I think both go hand in hand. Your take on your role for your parents help me think of my role in my relationships. I get it. I am there with you. I am Blasian woman living in a world which cannot believe I exist, demand I choose a “side”, say I don’t count either way, or shape me into what they feel comfortable with it. Thank you being honest and light. 💜
Thank you for speaking up for us. I've been doing the same thing for my parents since I learned how to use a typewriter, 35 years ago. Love your channel. Please keep telling your stories!
Tears dropped off from my eyes while I was waching your video. It's tough time for all enough. I hope nobody will get hurt and will not become a victim of frustration under the current situation or whatsoever in futuer. Sincere prayers for those passed away.

You’re so intelligent and inspiring. I love how eloquent and important so many of your video topics revolve around 🥺 Thank you for putting this together
The topic of this video is so relatable for me as an Asian. I used to be so upset that my parents ask me to do so many things for them but as I grow I see that doing these things for them also help protect them and support them as they navigate a foreign world who is not always so kind. They left their friends and family and their home to give us a better future. The little that I had to do to support them cannot amount to the hardship they had to endure. Thank you for sharing your life stories and advice
I understand your family's hardship. My grandfather was a 1st generation japanese american. His parents came here and settled in wildwood nj. Growing up in a poor irish neighborhood was very rough in the 30's. Pop said kids and adults would say hurtful racist things and he would get into physical altercations often until he learned to fight. At 17 he joined the army and was in the 442nd troop, the most decorated regiment in WW2. When he returned home with medals and accolades the town had a parade and a holiday named for him. My grandfather said he hated the town more after that because of how poorly he was treated and regarded before risking his life and being injured fighting for a country that didn't want him or his japanese family. It hurt him until he passed away at 93yrs old. He was my very best friend and I wish I could have made his life better
I love how you protect your parents 💚 My Dad lived 5yrs longer than his Dr thought possible: because I moved him in with me & my critters. When I retired, I bought a small place way out in the country. I rescue the unwanted/wild & abandoned. This has been animal & human beings. A practicing Hedge Witch, I've become very popular in my community as an alternative to regular Veterinary services. Instructions, supplies, a variety of meds (both western & older) during these strange times; I am often the only help available. My grown sons want to protect me. They don't want me sharing with my conservative Christian neighbors that I am a Witch. But I want my wisdom & kindnesses to be evidence, that prejudice against my kind is unwarranted. May you & your family find acceptance & welcome too, dear one.
Thank you for sharing a little of your and your parents' experiences. It is truly heart-breaking what is happening. I don't understand the hatred and violence (toward any group/person) and I absolutely do not condone it. My heart and best wishes go out to all who are affected by hate, racism, and violence.
As your 800th thumbs-up, I'd like to thank you for sharing yet another heartfelt and important story of your family and culture. I've subscribed to many vegan-based channels, but yours is incredibly unique. Please, never change... Oh, and also, the dish looks divine!
Thank you for being an open book on the struggles you and your family experience! My niece and nephews face similar challenges, being half Japanese. It floors me the limiting mindset people have about cultures that are different from their own. Thank you for sharing this recipe too. I am a fairly new vegan for the health benefits. This looks delicious!
Thank you for sharing your experience although it may be difficult. I am so grateful to have such a thoughtful lens into another’s world. Stay strong and remember you are loved
Thank you for sharing. It is horrible to have to go through so much pain... Because of other humans who dont have the wisdom/understanding /compasion /power to embrace other humans in a loving way. This IS why the world is in such a mess. Thank you for being one of the few who will help the world understand in a safer place. I apologize for this anger, hatred, mis understanding, this evil. Please dont paint all of us with the same brush, there are many who do care and appreciate what you say. Thank you Joanne XXXX
Can I just say, this video is incredible in so many ways. First off, the recipe itself is so rich and beautiful and reminds me of my first dinner in Korea where I ate this dish at a cool bar and was flabbergasted at how epic and incredible and flavorful it was. 😳 And the second layer - I love the incredibly honest, truthful and really beautiful story that you shared. I think all minorities all over the world can really sympathize with you. It makes me so sad that there are so many people with no compassion and 0 cultural awareness and your family and many others have to deal it, all over the world. The fact that it has lead to murder in the US is just.. horrendous and unforgivable. On the bright side, it’s wonderful that you are sharing the beauty of your culture and fighting through sharing your food, recipes, and stories. ❤️ I can’t wait to make this! 😱
I am so sorry that you and your beautiful family have had to endure any type of racism or negative backlash because of someone else’s ignorance!.. Ever since Covid and hearing about the attacks against the Asian community, my heart has been hurting!..To brutally attack a person and blame them for something that was no more their fault than it was the man in the moon!.. I will never understand how anyone could ever attack another human being because of their nationality, colour of their skin, the way they talk, they way they look, the food that they eat and so on!..Or not being able to accept anyone who is different than you in some way!..Absolutely mind blowing!.. Thank you Joanne, for always protecting your parents, your family your community & culture!..Thank you for telling your beautifully heartwarming stories, and thank you for being you and the beautifully talented human being that you are!..So much love and respect for you sweet lady!..❤❤❤
Oh I remember those typewriters. I also recall manual typewriters tht weren't electric.. I recall my relationship with my father was somewhat similar to you. Long story short I haven't spoken to him 11+yrs. I am closer to my mom n step dad. I appreciate this video. Thank you
I just subscribed your channel few days ago and I totally love it. English is not my first language but I have been living in non- English speaking countries for a while. I love how you defend your parents by taking necessarily actions and I am also admire your strength. Thank you for being the voice and I am a Chinese native, since the whole Corona things started, I sense there is a strong hostile to my race group and I feel their pain.
I'm not Asian but my dad is Dominican. We live in Germany where I was born. And it is so hard to see him sad all the time because of racism, people telling him to go back to Africa just because he's black. Since my parents separated I've had to help him with a lot of administrative stuff I myself don't even understand... So thanks for telling this story, I related to it so much.
Im glad you know not all of us Americans are like that. I worked at a Casino where I dealt with alot of Asian people. We had to take a class to better understand their culture. I honestly was very upset about it first. I was wrong for that. I cant imagine what an immigrant must go through in a new land. Why not help by just better understanding them so we can communicate💜💜💜 Your parents are lucky to have you as a daughter
I'm fairly new and this is off topic but this is the first video I'm seeing with your dog. It was a nice addition. Even with the heavy topic that is very much needed, it was sweet to see the pup.
Firstly, thank you so greatly for your content. I discovered your work relatively recently and it has been calming and soothing to listen to your strong gentle voice speak about life and love and hardship. I resonate with many of your stories about finding love after divorce, family strains and exclusion stemming from anxiety and social fears. It has been incredibly helpful listening to your videos and the cooking content is just a lovely addition to that. Additionally I deeply connect on the harshness that comes along with protecting your parents from a young age; my father is an immigrant to the US and also happens to be deaf. As long as I can remember I have had to tell able-bodied people that he does not share the same privileges as them and he is incredibly intelligent (albeit socially awkward like myself) and deserves the utmost respect. It hurts to watch others disregard someone because they don’t want to understand differences ( cultural and otherwise). Sending love 🖤🖤
Absolutely love your story time and cooking! You really are empowering us and reminding us to reflect and appreciate where we come from. I was always my mom's right hand man and it was hard, but it gave me the opportunity to spend more time with her as she had to take me with her everywhere. I used to feel so stupid when handling her legal stuff, because I didn't know how the system operated as a teen and so they took advantage of the situation and charged my mom for wreckless driving, when the officer tailgated her so she would speed up a little. That made me look deeper into the legal system to prepare myself for future situations.
I wish we could all just look at each other as human beings ...come on people now, smile on your brother , everybody get together , try and love one another RIGHT NOW! ... actually do more then try ...DO IT! Just stop hating and start appreciating what each of us brings to the world.✌️🇨🇦💞
Thank you for making this video! Stop Asian Hate! Stop AANHPI Hate! The hate crimes and the racism is so horrible and it shouldn’t be happening! I stand with the Asian Community and the AANHPI Community! The shooting in Atlanta was so horrible! My prayers go out to the victims and their loved ones.
Those people were harsh. Dont let that make you have a chip on your shoulder. Understand that culture understanding is difficult for everyone. If all sides understand that there can be various reasons why someone does something. But that's all sides that need to have patience. I do feel for you and your parents. Ignorance sucks. We cant let these things define us. We also cant, as individuals expect the world to conform to us either. I'm a white woman married to a mixed Japanese man. He gets told to go back to Mexico all the time. Go figure. His integrity in this regard is through the roof. He handles it like nobody I've seen and I've learned so much. Praying for this country.
Beautiful video! I’m a new subscriber 😊 I can’t even begin to imagine your pain or anyone’s pain that has gone through any type of racism, discrimination or hate of any kind.😢😢😢 The tears and sadness I feel for everyone I know is nothing in comparison. I’m wishing humanity evolves sooner rather than later. We must love each other, we must heal each other, we must teach those who might not know any different. I’m praying this generation is the last that ever has to deal with this. Sending so much love to all of you out there ❤️❤️❤️🙏😘
Many years ago, I went to a Canada Day celebration in Edmonton Alberta. There were people from all over the world who had come as immigrants to Canada sharing their culture, dance and food...it was a day when you could ask questions about their culture without feeling like you were being rude. It was so eye opening for me and I wish we could do that here to clear up so many misconceptions about all the wonderful people that make up our country...
Just discovered your channel today. This video had me in tears. My mom is Korean and I have had to assume similar roles for her as you have. Even more so since my American father passed away a few years ago. I am trying to remove meat and dairy from my diet so I am looking forward to more videos from you in the future!
It's beautiful what you are doing, i hope that we, the people, can continue to make progress until America can be a home for everyone. Without having to worry about the 1 out of 10, this country was founded under a law that claimed freedom for the few, when it should have been the many. I pray you and your parents, anyone, and everyone reading this stays safe. And that the grace of God will protect us all. 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing your stories, thoughts and recipes :) I can relate to so many of your experiences and love the way you tell them. I enjoy your videos a lot, they are perfect!
Thank u for this.. u tapped in on so many emotions/topics in one video from a child’s perspective to the privileged perspective and in between not to mention cultural differences are so misunderstood by many but what is more difficult is trying to have your/our culture understood /respected by those who actually don’t have one or if they do they just don’t care about their own. Again thank u so much. Also I will be trying this recipe soon it looks amazing
I love that you made this video. As the “model” minority we have been looking the other way while being subject to micro aggressions. I can recall so many of those in my own life and time here, specifically intended to belittle and other me. The people directing them to me were educated, people

@@danyielletrader6772 don't let them drag you down, hold you head up high and try to always judge people as individuals rather than as members of percieved identity groups. The intersectionalists and communists try to make us belief that we all fit into identity boxes based on social constructs like class, race, or gender - don't ever let them, or anyone, tell you who and what you are, how you should behave, vote, or who your "allies" and "foes" are. These people only want power, they are part of the problem. How others percieve you may impact you, sure, but you need to rise above whatever image they have in their heads cause no one is like you and no box they put you in will ever fit cause what's in your head isn't controlled or limited by your skin color or whether you are a man or a woman. /rant

I used to be so upset that my parents ask me to do so many things for them but as I grow I see that doing these things for them also help protect them and support them as they navigate a foreign world who is not always so kind. They left their friends and family and their home to give us a better future. The little that I had to do to support them cannot amount to the hardship they had to endure. Thank you for sharing your life stories and advice
I love your honesty and transparency
This made me cry
Thank you for making these videos, i find them so uplifting.
I understand your family's hardship. My grandfather was a 1st generation japanese american. His parents came here and settled in wildwood nj. Growing up in a poor irish neighborhood was very rough in the 30's. Pop said kids and adults would say hurtful racist things and he would get into physical altercations often until he learned to fight. At 17 he joined the army and was in the 442nd troop, the most decorated regiment in WW2. When he returned home with medals and accolades the town had a parade and a holiday named for him. My grandfather said he hated the town more after that because of how poorly he was treated and regarded before risking his life and being injured fighting for a country that didn't want him or his japanese family. It hurt him until he passed away at 93yrs old. He was my very best friend and I wish I could have made his life better
I love how you protect your parents 💚
My Dad lived 5yrs longer than his Dr thought possible: because I moved him in with me & my critters.
When I retired, I bought a small place way out in the country. I rescue the unwanted/wild & abandoned. This has been animal & human beings. A practicing Hedge Witch, I've become very popular in my community as an alternative to regular Veterinary services. Instructions, supplies, a variety of meds (both western & older) during these strange times; I am often the only help available. My grown sons want to protect me. They don't want me sharing with my conservative Christian neighbors that I am a Witch. But I want my wisdom & kindnesses to be evidence, that prejudice against my kind is unwarranted.
May you & your family find acceptance & welcome too, dear one.
Thank you for sharing a little of your and your parents' experiences. It is truly heart-breaking what is happening. I don't understand the hatred and violence (toward any group/person) and I absolutely do not condone it.
My heart and best wishes go out to all who are affected by hate, racism, and violence.
You are a good daughter! Your parents are probably very proud of you!
Gratitude, love and support from Central Virginia. 💜 #stopasianhate #fighting #donate #justice
Omg that looks so so good. Thanks for the story. I felt like I herd it before. The misunderstandings of communities can have massive effects on others
You are without a doubt one of the most amazing human beings in the world I am so grateful I come across your videos.
Beautifully spoken, heartbreaking and touching.
As your 800th thumbs-up, I'd like to thank you for sharing yet another heartfelt and important story of your family and culture. I've subscribed to many vegan-based channels, but yours is incredibly unique. Please, never change... Oh, and also, the dish looks divine!
just discovered this channel today and subscribed. kind wishes to all.
Thank you so much Rich.
Thank you. In the most honest, blatant gratitude. I needed this and so do so many others.
Thank you for being an open book on the struggles you and your family experience! My niece and nephews face similar challenges, being half Japanese. It floors me the limiting mindset people have about cultures that are different from their own. Thank you for sharing this recipe too. I am a fairly new vegan for the health benefits. This looks delicious!
Thank you for sharing your experience although it may be difficult. I am so grateful to have such a thoughtful lens into another’s world. Stay strong and remember you are loved
Thank you for sharing your story. It’s a painful topic but so important. ♥️
Thank you for sharing your story and for allowing us in your safe space. I love your videos.
I'm so sorry and so bewildered. How can people be so ignorant and hate-filled?
Thank you for sharing. It is horrible to have to go through so much pain... Because of other humans who dont have the wisdom/understanding /compasion /power to embrace other humans in a loving way. This IS why the world is in such a mess. Thank you for being one of the few who will help the world understand in a safer place. I apologize for this anger, hatred, mis understanding, this evil. Please dont paint all of us with the same brush, there are many who do care and appreciate what you say. Thank you Joanne XXXX
Can I just say, this video is incredible in so many ways.
First off, the recipe itself is so rich and beautiful and reminds me of my first dinner in Korea where I ate this dish at a cool bar and was flabbergasted at how epic and incredible and flavorful it was. 😳
And the second layer - I love the incredibly honest, truthful and really beautiful story that you shared. I think all minorities all over the world can really sympathize with you.
It makes me so sad that there are so many people with no compassion and 0 cultural awareness and your family and many others have to deal it, all over the world.
The fact that it has lead to murder in the US is just.. horrendous and unforgivable.
On the bright side, it’s wonderful that you are sharing the beauty of your culture and fighting through sharing your food, recipes, and stories. ❤️
I can’t wait to make this! 😱
I am so sorry that you and your beautiful family have had to endure any type of racism or negative backlash because of someone else’s ignorance!..
Ever since Covid and hearing about the attacks against the Asian community, my heart has been hurting!..To brutally attack a person and blame them for something that was no more their fault than it was the man in the moon!..
I will never understand how anyone could ever attack another human being because of their nationality, colour of their skin, the way they talk, they way they look, the food that they eat and so on!..Or not being able to accept anyone who is different than you in some way!..Absolutely mind blowing!..
Thank you Joanne, for always protecting your parents, your family your community & culture!..Thank you for telling your beautifully heartwarming stories, and thank you for being you and the beautifully talented human being that you are!..So much love and respect for you sweet lady!..❤❤❤
I feel for you. I support you. I'm proud of you. Am from Trinidad. God bless you.
is it just me or the egg replacer looks more delicious than an actual egg
I love the way you ate the food from the pan
So glad you spoke up. 👏🏽
It is an incredibly important issue. Thanks for addressing it. Solidarity from Italy! And what a beautiful, lovingly cooked recipe on top of that.
Oh I remember those typewriters. I also recall manual typewriters tht weren't electric.. I recall my relationship with my father was somewhat similar to you. Long story short I haven't spoken to him 11+yrs. I am closer to my mom n step dad. I appreciate this video. Thank you
I just subscribed your channel few days ago and I totally love it. English is not my first language but I have been living in non- English speaking countries for a while.
I love how you defend your parents by taking necessarily actions and I am also admire your strength. Thank you for being the voice and I am a Chinese native, since the whole Corona things started, I sense there is a strong hostile to my race group and I feel their pain.
🤗your food your culture I LOVE IT!!!! 🇰🇷🌸much love from the U.K. 🙏🏾
I'm not Asian but my dad is Dominican. We live in Germany where I was born. And it is so hard to see him sad all the time because of racism, people telling him to go back to Africa just because he's black. Since my parents separated I've had to help him with a lot of administrative stuff I myself don't even understand... So thanks for telling this story, I related to it so much.
Im glad you know not all of us Americans are like that. I worked at a Casino where I dealt with alot of Asian people. We had to take a class to better understand their culture. I honestly was very upset about it first. I was wrong for that. I cant imagine what an immigrant must go through in a new land. Why not help by just better understanding them so we can communicate💜💜💜 Your parents are lucky to have you as a daughter
I hope one day all of the world would be ready to accept and embrace every one as they are. #let there be change.
As soon as you said "excuse me, do you have a problem", an ad came up and it was like action music and I found that kinda funny
Damn this was an intense cooking video.
Ps, I love hearing and learning from your stories while you prepare food with such care and love. 💟
I will pray for you and your family, and for your safety. God bless you.
I'm fairly new and this is off topic but this is the first video I'm seeing with your dog. It was a nice addition. Even with the heavy topic that is very much needed, it was sweet to see the pup.
you are an incredible speaker and cook
TFS...you have everything but the kitchen sink in this pot sis...👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🍽🍽🍽👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Firstly, thank you so greatly for your content. I discovered your work relatively recently and it has been calming and soothing to listen to your strong gentle voice speak about life and love and hardship. I resonate with many of your stories about finding love after divorce, family strains and exclusion stemming from anxiety and social fears. It has been incredibly helpful listening to your videos and the cooking content is just a lovely addition to that. Additionally I deeply connect on the harshness that comes along with protecting your parents from a young age; my father is an immigrant to the US and also happens to be deaf. As long as I can remember I have had to tell able-bodied people that he does not share the same privileges as them and he is incredibly intelligent (albeit socially awkward like myself) and deserves the utmost respect. It hurts to watch others disregard someone because they don’t want to understand differences ( cultural and otherwise). Sending love 🖤🖤
Absolutely love your story time and cooking! You really are empowering us and reminding us to reflect and appreciate where we come from. I was always my mom's right hand man and it was hard, but it gave me the opportunity to spend more time with her as she had to take me with her everywhere. I used to feel so stupid when handling her legal stuff, because I didn't know how the system operated as a teen and so they took advantage of the situation and charged my mom for wreckless driving, when the officer tailgated her so she would speed up a little. That made me look deeper into the legal system to prepare myself for future situations.
your point of view is extremely valid! don't stop! thank you for sharing 🙏
I wish we could all just look at each other as human beings ...come on people now, smile on your brother , everybody get together , try and love one another RIGHT NOW! ... actually do more then try ...DO IT! Just stop hating and start appreciating what each of us brings to the world.✌️🇨🇦💞
Sending light.
Thank you for making this video! Stop Asian Hate! Stop AANHPI Hate! The hate crimes and the racism is so horrible and it shouldn’t be happening! I stand with the Asian Community and the AANHPI Community! The shooting in Atlanta was so horrible! My prayers go out to the victims and their loved ones.
어릴때부터 가족들을 보호하기 위해 준비되었다는 말에 눈물이 찔끔 나왔네요 ㅠㅠ
Thank you. For the food and the words.
Wonderful recipe and story . So many Ingridients
Those people were harsh. Dont let that make you have a chip on your shoulder. Understand that culture understanding is difficult for everyone. If all sides understand that there can be various reasons why someone does something. But that's all sides that need to have patience. I do feel for you and your parents. Ignorance sucks. We cant let these things define us. We also cant, as individuals expect the world to conform to us either. I'm a white woman married to a mixed Japanese man. He gets told to go back to Mexico all the time. Go figure. His integrity in this regard is through the roof. He handles it like nobody I've seen and I've learned so much. Praying for this country.
Beautiful video! I’m a new subscriber 😊
I can’t even begin to imagine your pain or anyone’s pain that has gone through any type of racism, discrimination or hate of any kind.😢😢😢 The tears and sadness I feel for everyone I know is nothing in comparison.
I’m wishing humanity evolves sooner rather than later. We must love each other, we must heal each other, we must teach those who might not know any different. I’m praying this generation is the last that ever has to deal with this.
Sending so much love to all of you out there ❤️❤️❤️🙏😘
You are such an inspiring and well spoken women 🙏🏼
Many years ago, I went to a Canada Day celebration in Edmonton Alberta. There were people from all over the world who had come as immigrants to Canada sharing their culture, dance and food...it was a day when you could ask questions about their culture without feeling like you were being rude. It was so eye opening for me and I wish we could do that here to clear up so many misconceptions about all the wonderful people that make up our country...
Just discovered your channel today. This video had me in tears. My mom is Korean and I have had to assume similar roles for her as you have. Even more so since my American father passed away a few years ago. I am trying to remove meat and dairy from my diet so I am looking forward to more videos from you in the future!
Powerful Content!🙏🏾👏🏾
It's beautiful what you are doing, i hope that we, the people, can continue to make progress until America can be a home for everyone. Without having to worry about the 1 out of 10, this country was founded under a law that claimed freedom for the few, when it should have been the many. I pray you and your parents, anyone, and everyone reading this stays safe. And that the grace of God will protect us all. 🙏🏻
Love from Malaysia
Thank you for sharing your stories, thoughts and recipes :) I can relate to so many of your experiences and love the way you tell them. I enjoy your videos a lot, they are perfect!
Thank u for this.. u tapped in on so many emotions/topics in one video from a child’s perspective to the privileged perspective and in between not to mention cultural differences are so misunderstood by many but what is more difficult is trying to have your/our culture understood /respected by those who actually don’t have one or if they do they just don’t care about their own. Again thank u so much. Also I will be trying this recipe soon it looks amazing
I come from a Mexican background and I had to talk on behalf of my parents
Between Spanish and English.
I relate to this ☺️ wonderful story and video.
My gracious! I love your words, your food and your videos 💗
Heartbreak with a side of salivating.
I love that you made this video. As the “model” minority we have been looking the other way while being subject to micro aggressions. I can recall so many of those in my own life and time here, specifically intended to belittle and other me. The people directing them to me were educated, people
Thank you for your story
To a certain degree. I can relate to this. Beautiful video.
Omgness being black or Asian sucks here in America!! We have to protect one another!!! 🖤🖤🖤❤️❤️❤️
Not to speak of being white, you are blamed for literally everything...
@@KangMinseok I'm black and I sincerely feel sorry for white people who aren't racist because they get blamed for things racist do😟😟 such an injustice... actually I'm mixed but I identify as black... and I have especially feel bad for Asians😟😟😟every Asian person I have ever come in contact with has been so nice to me...this world has me so confused
@@danyielletrader6772 don't let them drag you down, hold you head up high and try to always judge people as individuals rather than as members of percieved identity groups. The intersectionalists and communists try to make us belief that we all fit into identity boxes based on social constructs like class, race, or gender - don't ever let them, or anyone, tell you who and what you are, how you should behave, vote, or who your "allies" and "foes" are. These people only want power, they are part of the problem.
How others percieve you may impact you, sure, but you need to rise above whatever image they have in their heads cause no one is like you and no box they put you in will ever fit cause what's in your head isn't controlled or limited by your skin color or whether you are a man or a woman.

@@KangMinseok Thank you so much for taking the time out to think of me and deliver that inspiring message...May you live a long and prosperous life
❤️ your stories are so powerful
😭😭😭😭 Omw finally. After seeing this on Stephanie Soo's channel and Maangchi's channel I always wanted a vegan version. Thank you for this. 🇿🇦
Thank you for this video.
I was born in Kazachstan and grew up "russian". When I turned two years old we transfered to Germany. And I remember to write job applications for my dad when I was like twelve oder eleven years old...
I loved this.
