Yellow Peril for sure only applies to Asian men. Asian women are considered lotus blossoms and dragon ladies, by contrast. This term really only came about after Sessue Hayakawa (Japanese guy) became known as the first male sex symbol in Hollywood. He had to leave the industry because of anti-Japanese sentiment at the onset of WWII.
Hollywood is against us. That Asian dude on SNL just reinforces the negative stereotype of Asian males. He is always playing a gay geeky Asian guy. Paramount also made Mr. Sulu gay even though George Takei was against it.
@@lloyd4956 Paramount made this change recently. George Takei didn't think his sexuality should have been reflected in the character that he played. He wanted Mr. Sulu to be a masculine Asian character.
@@chilliam00definitely and honestly since Uncle Roger isn’t actually Chinese but doing that Hyaaa which is literally what my relatives and my family(yes including me)tend to say when something happens in shock suddenly. It’s honestly quite disturbing and exaggerated. Now for Steven He (the Emotional Damage Guy) on the other hand he IS actually Chinese and I can relate which I find his videos actually funny and the accents are quite accurate. It’s not purposely putting an exaggeration because it’s actually more of a reality.
@@OceanicPearlz1 Technically Uncle Roger's actor (Nigel Ng) is Malaysian Chinese so he's Chinese by ethnicity but he is imitating the stereotypical Hong Kong accent which most comedians do when they want to imitate a "Chinese accent".
That’s true I feel the white male and asian women couple trope and stereotype has been overdone. I would like to see Asian women portrayed with Asian men, Latino men and Black men. Asian women should consider dating other races of men other than white men such as Asian men, Latino Men and Black men.
@@Eric-gp3hi but they won't due to the self-hate. They believe that the only way to be relevant in the world is to elevate their status by being with a man from the group at the top of the food chain. Typically, you'll notice that it's always the broken Asian girls who choose to white worship. Wholesome Asian girls feel no need to partake in this trendy behavior
Like one of my favorite martial artists, Donnie Yen said making John Wick 4. His character was originally going to have a traditional Asian name. He protested and said why the stereotype? Why I can just have a regular guy's name? Then they wanted to traditionalize his character, he even again why the stereotype?
Im Chinese Panamanian, Americans normally consider me American just bc I look athletic, lol. So I agree with you guys, things that Americans value will help asians look more american.
Asian women must be held accountability for their negative influence upon Asian males due to their ignorant dating preferences. Enough of their abusing virtual signalling!
Blame it on world war two when the males ran and the Japanese raped almost all of Asia... And it was only white American soldiers who swooped in and saved them... Yes all the older Asian women in my family because of what happened in WW 2 sees Asian men are weak while all white men as saviors. That's why Ukraine is fighting so hard. Their men know not to abandon their country or it will bring shame to your children for many many generations
You sound bitter. Asian men must be held accountable for their misogynist mindset and incel mindset. I've always been told that it's my job to take care of the husband, cook and clean for him. Nah.. I want someone who can help me with chores too instead of me doing everything.
Those ignorant dating preferences were caused by the traditional views shaped over centuries in some Asian countries and pushed by the woman's family themselves. Eg. In order for marriage, husband must own a car, own real state, be steadily employed, make more than the wife (hypergamy), etc. To say that those Asian women must be held accountable does not address this root cause, this view is already deeply ingrained in their minds. Instead, the wider culture must be held accountable due to those outdated views hurting the dating prospects of both men and women.
As a white American woman, I had no idea most of these stereotypes existed for asians. I was aware of the covid one and the very smart hard worker one and the submissive one. All the others I had no idea. Maybe it's because I live in an area that is higher in both white and black people than any other race? I myself never look at someone who looks like a different race and think 'foreigner' for sure because in my mind that's often not true. I've always considered the United States as a nation of foreigners and it's one of the things I think makes the United States special compared to most other countries though some others vary in races just as much as us. Pretty much everyone here either is a first-generation immigrant or descended from immigrants. I don't see this country as belonging to one race, culture or that to be American has to be a certain way but I guess if one finds a niche so to speak that helps them socially, then that's great. My mind was blown recently when I learned most actual foreigners (people who were born & currently live outside of the United States) think of and are fascinated with one image that I guess can be called a stereotype but it's true for almost half of white people here at least... is American = Cowboy. Apparently, this is from some of our lawless pioneers that travelled from the eastern regions to the west in hopes of better living which was often glorified in old films by Hollywood in a niche genre called 'westerns'. I don't get it and I don't like anything 'western' in this sense or anything 'cowboy' except for horses 😅
We do need strict border control in Europe, Canada, Australia, and the U.S.. there’s nothing racist about especially if it’s in a European nations in Europe (since whites are the indigenous people there).
well not nation of foreigners but once nation of white settlers. It had one culture. In fact it hard for other European groups blend in. It why East Asians are viewed as perpetual foreigners. 2nd reason why view perpetual foreigners is their low birth rates . For me I grew up medium town in Ohio so never felt usa is nation of immigrants. Any immigrant background I have is far removed for me that it greater than 200 years ago.
@@insertname2035 the natives are still here, I don’t have a problem with them unless the have some kind liberal left protests like blacks and Hispanics.
The model minority stereotype contributes to mental health abuse. More often than not the compulsion to succeed or failure to achieve it can be debilitating. It’s hard to be lifted as a people or as an individual when you’re already on a pedestal where many are watching to see if you fall.
Just last week I coughed a little in public (I was also still wearing a mask) and this Asian grandma immediately moved 25ft away from me. No one else did. Hilarious.
@10:23 - Funny shit, I immediately thought after that, maybe Jin was a head of his time when he wrote, "You Gonna Learn Chinese." But, on the real, of course at the time, he was young in a major label that need to push something that might give him some kind of marketability, he wrote that pretty poor song with his music video being a cookie cutter "Rush Hour" looks with all the tropes. Now that he's older, he could re-visit that song with the same title and write a satire rap with the recent events that happened to Asian American. "Yeah, you gonna learn Chinese (All ya base is mine) in Chinese ad lib...you gonna learn Chinese (Douyin that trend) in Chinese ad lib..."
Is the perpetual foreigner thing really imposed? Or is it an internal insecurity? I've stopped several Asian friends while they were talking and suggested they stop referring to other people as Americans and themselves as something different. Or, when they say that they're Americanized, I've said "no, you're just American."
Possibly internalized. We get treated as foreigners so much that it just becomes a part of us. For example, I was born in NYC 51 years ago, but people still ask me if I speak English. Also, Andrew Yang, who ran as a presidential candidate for the Democratic party, there was a political cartoon where he was in New York to campaign, and one of the business owners in the cartoon said, "look, the tourists are back" (for context, this was when covid restrictions were winding down).
4:47 there is confusion between "citizenship" and "Ethnicity". All whites, blacks and asians may have the "american" citizenship but Ethnically only people with Native American ancestry qualify (Aztecs, Mayans, Incas, Natives Tribes, many mexicans, Guatemalans, Peruvians) are Ethnically American. Just ask yourself where was your ancestors in 1491, if your ancestors were in China it doesn't matter where you were born, you are Ethnically chinese.
I guess it’s fair that European white guys can play American cowboys. They wouldn’t get casted as a kung fu master in China or Hong Kong while you American Chinese definitely can😂
Ummm... the only asian stereotype that has been a problem for me is my neighbors thinking I'm a prostitute because I'm a female living alone and they see 2 different guys come to my house. Even though I don't dress at all like a hooker. I literally wear a t-shirt and pants every day. I wear unisex clothing. Apparently, I can't have any guy friends come to my house because my neighbors assume I'm prostituting. This has happened to me a few times. It's so ridiculous it's funny yet annoying when they tell my other neighbors based on their assumption
Yeah it’s frustrating enough to overcome the pressure of my cousins toping the scores and top the academics, i think one of my cousins was valedictorian during her year or something 0.0. Every time I hear, “oh your Asian/Chinese? Aren’t you supposed to be good at math?” BRO NO STOP 🛑 mathmatics is my WORST subject…you know a Korean (classmate) and my ex (White American) asked me that😭… KOREAN- bro- are you not Asian too?
Yeah it really is insulting… hearing someone who doesn’t even speak the language mock a language that I speak on a daily basis besides English. (Well dialect Cantonese)
@@OceanicPearlz1 Thats the worst when you're own fam is doing well academically lol like you're happy for them but then you're fam is praising them constantly and they dont see how that makes us feel even worse about ourselves. And wtf? you're ex mocked your language skills?? thats so messed up (i speak Cantonese too, not that well but id be pissed if someone mocked that)
@@PricefieldPunkyes he did and talked badly behind my back, called me flat like paper 📄, spreader of fake rumors and gossip. I still can’t believe I fell head over heals for this guy smh. Oh well his lost cause I deserve better. It just made me realize to be proud of my heritage for who I am and the right people will accept you for who you are as a person not just ethnic people and looks.
Sometimes, I do hear Asian (Chinese, Japanese, etc.) wives who call their husbands "dad"; Asian husbands might call their wives "mom." (Just an observation, like a (Jerry) Seinfeld joke.)
Don't think that's limited to Asians. Once couples have kids, the parents become mom and dad, even to each other. Look at former VP Mike Pence, he calls his wife "mother".
I agree about tatemae and I would rather people say what they mean to my face. That's what I like about NYers. They are so direct, even direct to the point of being blunt. Bad Asian driver? Heck, let Americans try driving in the Philippines! Let's see them maneuver where there are no lanes.
Just asking for clarification, where was in the source article under The Perpetual Foreigner that referenced AAPI not being "real" American because they just arrived here post 1965 in large numbers, because I couldn't find it referenced in the source article and it's obvious Asians have been noticeably present in the US much earlier, i.e. Filipino in the early 1900s post American-Filipino War and Chinese even further back in the 1800s. Regardless, I can see why Asians in general are considered perpetual foreigners, despite being part of American history in various aspects. Also in regards to the anecdotal example of a lot of Filipino friends feeling the perpetual foreigner pressure, would the relationship between the Philippines and the United States have some reason for that, given that the US had a mission of "Civilizing and Christianizing" the Philippines post Filipino-American War, which would mean American culture/norms/values be a part of Filipino culture, hence the familiarity and less pressure?
@ᜑᜎᜒᜌ Better to be educated and be aware of the truth. History is dirty and ugly at times, but better to have an understanding of the past so we can make better decisions rather than remain ignorant. However given the current geopolitical landscape in the Philippines in, oh the last 8 years, ignorance appears to be prevalent as evidenced to the Duterte administration and that THEY ELECTED Bongbong Marcos 0_0
@ᜑᜎᜒᜌ And once again how narrow minded your field of vision is; practically everything is politically motivated and politicized, the whole notion of the Asian stereotypes are politically motivated; the model minority has been used politically use a minority against other minorities, yellow peril was used not only during the Chinese exclusion act and WWII, but even during the 70s and 80s to describe how Japanese automakers were outselling the american auto industry, the "primative villager" was used by America to justify their campaign of "civilizing and christianizing" the Philippines because they were now their unofficial "protectorate" after the Filipino-American war; majority of these stereotypes politically motivated to move an agenda and denigrate a group. So if you were paying attention, you would know this topic is political in nature. Learn to follow directions of the assignment.
@ᜑᜎᜒᜌ Huh, response not in Tagalog this time? Never said anything about "highly influenced." Never even said the influence was positive, but you can't deny the influence being there because of the Philippines being colonized by one imperialist superpower after another. Are you also going to say there's no Spanish influence in Filipino culture? I'll make it easy for you and give you a big hint; compare the language of Spanish and Tagalog. You can go ahead and deny it all you want, that's your prerogative, however it still doesn't change that the scars left by both the Spanish and the US have left influences on the Philippines and her people, no matter how subtle it is.
I don't have the source you're asking for, but to give you some context or observation, even though Asians have existed throughout American history, we've been pretty much forced into Asian ghettos in major cities. So even if on paper, it seems like a city has a large Asian population, if you actually go to the city, Asians will be difficult to find unless you go to the local Chinatown. All these Chinatowns are essentially Asian ghettos. Historically, Asians have been redlined by homeowners from purchasing houses anywhere other than in their respective Chinatown. It's not some conspiracy, but white people selling their homes will just not sell to Asians. Buffalo, NY is a good example, there is a large Asian population there, but you'll be hard pressed to see any Asians unless you go to Chinatown. Hell, look at Florida, they recently passed a law preventing Asians from purchasing property. Yes, they're talking about foreign Asians, but seriously? Texas also, tried to pass a similar law, but I don't know the current status.
stereo types to live up to, model mino rity, nurse, mormon, Cat holic, Chris tians, living the Gos pel as salt of the earth and being perse cuted for it is in the Bi ble.
I love your channel guys. I love the content that you’ve been putting out since you’ve started-from the food reviews to the asian cultural stuff… but I have to say, I feel like you guys come off as a little too politically correct sometimes… They’re not unhoused David… theye homeless- you can say homeless. There was another instance where I made a comment about how kids in Asian countries help with the cleanup of the classrooms etc. and I said can you imagine if you tried to get the kids in New York or Chicago to do this? You guys liked it and then 10 minutes later, you guys unliked it … why?
I was thinking of the floating (red) spy balloon up in the sky, which later got shot down (somewhere in America).. "99 Luft (Red) Balloons." - Nena (an 1980's German pop (new wave, or synth-pop) star
@Medalion white cunks are ok with white women getting pounded by BBC but we asians are not. Sorry for not being so secure like you guys 😔 so yeah, we have to sadly eradicate the stereotypes placed by white cunk males
Japan is not a high-tech country. Many sectors of the country still have not digitalized, and continue to utilize outdated analog products. They still use floppy disk, and don't know what USB flash drive is.
They still use floppy disks.... 😑 Stop frontin.... CUT DA CAP 🧢!!! No the hell they don't! So you think in some office... out in rural Japan, their still using computers from 1984? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Are you even Asian?????
Idk where the bad driver thing comes from, there's no statistics to back it up & when driving around it's rare to see Asians involved in accidents, def not like it's common enough to notice any pattern.
Our family are all bad drivers! Especially me. I've hit parked police cars when I went to pay a fine; I've chipped away bricks of the apartment that I use live in; couldn't follow correct instructions from the cops ; almost got shot from cop when he pulled me over; hit stop signs; hit fire hydrant etc.😊😊😊
@@easyalpha1 yea even if Asians are least likely to fatally kill somebody while driving or favoured by insurance companies, these copers will always come at you with anecdotal experience to try & claim the stereotype being true😂 like sorry Asians are better drivers 😢
I've nearly been run over many a time. Never was an asian person...also I usually got a nice mouthful as if it's my fault for walking when it's my signal. Been in a car with white dudes who decided to drive with their knees and nearly lost control and flipped all of us over into a river, and sped and nearly killed a woman and her kid.
My dad is an immigrant driver and has never crashed his cars into anything for over 70 years and counting. Whether you have poor driving skills or not is very much on a case by case basis.
Lol I'm African American and I've never really heard good stereotypes about us. Other than being rappers, and ball players 😂. Thanks for saying that bro..
