In Spain we don't have the stereotype of Asians being good at math. I've never heard of it. But we have that stereotype for one country around there: India. We always say that Indians are very good mathematicians.
To an American, that would be fascinating to learn the math stereotype applied to Indians instead of East Asians. So the Spanish stereotype is based on the past while the American stereotype is based on the present.
Here in America, we stereotype Indians as technical support. Not because they’re good at it but because American companies outsource all our technical support to India.
Bro because we have to the hardest exam to get into college🥲…we have to come in top 10000 from more than 1.5 million students..so definitely where there is competition there is excellence..
@@Gleifel There are also zainichi who lives completely as Japanese, and speak no or little Korean. She could be zainichi who happens to be fluent in Korean, or maybe not.
minus the politics,if u put culture,food,behaviour we all can kinda assimiliate,learn each other,be with other.. most importantly,food... love the food,then everything goes smoothly..
I wonder if the content writer knew there are 48 countries in Asia given that she used ONLY the 3 east asian countries for her comparison. there are So. Asians, So. East Asians, Central Asians, The Gulf nations (yes, they're Asian) and so forth. these countries have their own languages and cultures and the diversity can be mind boggling!
In the U.S. we are seeing a lot of growth in Asian restaurants of all kinds, so we are learning to distinguish the dishes and regional cuisines. I think that a lot of Asians are surprised to learn that many Americans enjoy some heat in their food, and this comes from some of our own cuisines, such as Cajun, some seafood cuisines, and certainly Tex-Mex and barbecue. So, it is not that hard to adapt to some Asian cuisines (and you can include Thai and Indian) that serve up the spice. On stereotypes about studying and math, I think it's a burden for a lot of kids here that come from Asian backgrounds. There is an impression that people who come here from Asian countries will push their kids very hard to excel in school because of the perceived need to "make it" in a new country. This is part of the so-called "model minority" stereotype, that seems to say all Asians are super smart, study all the time and are out to compete and succeed at any cost. It can be a damaging stereotype for kids who just want to fit in and be liked for their individual personalities.
My perspective being from the DEEP south: Koreans - amazing spicy food, fashion, and Kpop Japanese - amazing at everything; food, anime, awesome sounding language, "honor" Chinese - good at math, very hardworking Vietnamese - amazing spicy food, alot of seafood, and seem to fit in with Americans more (I grew up with ALOT of Vietnamese people)
but i think its kind of a good thing in some perspective. U.S would want people who are willing to learn, work hard and be resourceful to the country is it not? and the people moving to another country, they kind of risking their life. starting with nothing. they should and want to make the best of it.
@@dealreal9709 I think that for the immigrating parents, this is exactly the point of view. But then, they are Asians in America. Their kids are Americans. They do not want to be singled out as different based on an ethnic stereotype. When I was growing up, I knew kids that were incredibly unhappy because they were not allowed to date, to go out with friends or to occasionally fail a test. The parental pressure was horrendous. Of course, smart, educated kids are good for the country. But bitter, badly adjusted kids might not be. Kids need to be able to join peer groups. Luckily, I think in this day and age, more of them find a balance between their parents' wishes and their own desires. I hope so.
I wondered how the Korean lady had such great English. I was surprised to hear that she grew up in Canada while young. I don't hear that accent at all. As someone who is trying to learn another language (Japanese) and see others speaking and understanding multiple languages, it's motivation to continue to learn. Growing up in the US and being exposed to mostly a single language makes learning another language more difficult. Thanks for exposing us to so many things!
I mean, if an Asian grows up in Canada, they're bound to have good English. Canada doesn't have an accent either it is just one island that gets the Canadian accent sterotype.
@@ovaloctopus8 Growing up in the Northeast, it's really hard for us to tell we have an accent when we talk - it kind of doesn't get as much press as a Texan or Southern accent for example even in pop culture. That's probably why OP (and I for that matter) didn't even notice Seong-ji's accent because it sounds completely normal to us :)
This was really interesting, and cool. More so when the Japanese girl didn't heard much of those stereotypes. Gonna add the stereotype of when some say all Asians look the same or even here in PR like, if you look Asian, you're Chinese. I can definitely distinguish when someone is from Korea, China or Japan like in the vid. Don't know if it's because there were a lot of Chinese that came here that migrated/immigrated or through slavery (was in a play called "Los Chinos en Puerto Rico", and was a good understanding of when and how they came here. Based on a study of a professor from my college).
in terms of eating spicy, Japanese are the same level as westerners, like for real some places in Japan advertise food (especially ramen) labeled as hell level spicy aren't even level 5 for most other Asians on a scale of 1-10, you can see a lot of youtube videos on that if you search for it (I saw a lot of them but I can't remember what videos they were so don't ask me). And from my own experience, some of my Japanese friends would say some food is spicy when I don't even consider the food spicy at all. And for the math stereotype, I believe it's true in at least some Asian countries. I'm from Taiwan and no calculators are allowed when we do math, yeah for everything even when you do square roots. So of course that would make us better in math when we have been practicing to calculate everything with our brain, for this one I would say is a fact rather than a stereotype. I believe this is the same in some other Asian countries too (probably not all but I don't know). But of course if calculators are used then everyone is at about the same level.
All Asians are not mongoloids, they just represent eastern Asia. The other half from India to Turkey must be included. But East is culturally very diverse compared to west. For example you can find much more similarities between Eastern Asian(China, Japan, S. Korea, Singapore etc) and western lifestyle than that between Arab world and countries around Himalayas! Personally I hate all boarders, so I love my country - mother Earth.
@@vishnukr2007 no it ain't enough cuz asia has south(india) , southeast(singapore), east(taiwan), west(saudi), north(kazakhstan). I put a country that represent so you can understand it
@@owensheva953 I repeat, telling east or west is enough to convey my ideas. On that criteria Singapore is in east. Also I have a rough idea where the counties lie. I am from India.
@@vishnukr2007 yeah but I mean.. you're talking about culture so southeast and east culture are different, im from Indonesia and so close to singapore which is in the southeast
Look up International Math Olympiad and PISA test result, China, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan consistently top the chart. Of course, that doesn't mean every East Asian is good, but overall they are good.
I think spiciness stereotypes came from South East Asia 😅 I meant hv seen raya and the last dragon, the cuisine in the bowl fill with chopped chilli plus go try indomie, Western people went mad after try it with chilli sauce, I see some reactions in yt videos
I'm irish but When I lived in Falun in Sweden for a few months I remember a lot of the swedes I meet had an obsession with Asian beauty. Not sure if it applies to all of Sweden but I know in Ireland a girls beauty never seems to be associated with where she is from unless she evidently looks foreign. For example, oh the Chinese girl is really pretty even though she might actually be Irish lol. Ya Asians just get associated with China here sorry.
Interesting, yes I think East Asian women are generally seen as beautiful here in Sweden. I come from the countryside east of Uppsala, and especially in smaller towns or villages wifes from Thailand and the Philippines are common.
These stereotypes group "Asia" together as some kind of monolithic group when there's so much diversity there. I wonder if in their countries a similar kind of "grouping together" is happening with Europe for example. That would really interest me.
I feel like you can blame school system for the groupings specially to us boomers. Like from what I remember of geography class we were taught continent Europe and most of the western countries. Then only Russia and a couple of the other eastern European ones that were part of USSR. Then for Asian continent I think only Beijing China and Tokyo japan and possibly Vietnam (cuz of the war). Should be much better these days though since internet is a great teaching tool.
Some sterotypes apply to all Asians, such as liking spicy food. But others actually specific to East Asians aka China/Korea/Japan, such as math skills and skin.
I find that most Europeans (aside from Italians and possibly Greeks) struggle with spicy foods, and that's actually how I was able to distinguish between a Spanish person and a Mexican and Central or South American person. Spanish people, people directly from Spain, generally have more sweet foods and seem to have a lower tolerance for spicy foods actually unless they've traveled abroad more. Mexican, Central Latin/Hispanic countries, and South American countries all have spicier foods. I think more Americans of all races, ethnicities, and cultures are accustomed to spicy foods because of the cultural diversity. Americans have Asian food, African American, Italian, and Latin/Hispanic foods that tend to be loaded with seasoning and spices. The European-Americans tend to tolerate spicy foods a bit more.
I'm actually curious now as to when UK children learn math cause even in our country, we also learn arithmetics on early elementary schools I learned multiplication and division at first grade
I can't speak to the UK, but in the US I wasn't taught multiplication and division until 3rd grade. Decimals and fractions were that year too if I recall. Addition and subtraction were taught earlier, I can't remember which grade though.
I'm British and nearly 28 now, but in the UK when I was in Primary School we didn't learn multiplication (or at least our times tables) until year 3, so 7/8 years old
Im canadian btw Asian styles in looks: Korean is more along the neat and tidy, respectful. Chinese is the sophisticated and confident. Japanese is the traditional type that is sweet and caring. Aisan eyes: Yeah, unfortunately i have unconciously thought that most aisans have eyelids closer to closing. I have also joked about it with my white friends in middle - highschool, though i honestly wasnt even bothered by whether the eye was more visible as round or slim. Personally i find it more interesting and unique, like with Nikki from China, i thought she was more of a friendly person since it looked like her eyes were smiling even if her mouth was just neutral, basically happy/content with life. Seong-ji from Korea looked like she was sweet and caring, and Mariko from Japan looked like she was happy to be wherever she was placed. Asians taking pics: yeah, i noticed that. I have a korean friend who likes to share normal pics of themselves just randomly. I think most guys wont take pictures of themselves but of the food, places, buildings, etc... Its mostly girls that take a lot of pics, like in one week of girls taking pics of themselves, it would be the equivalent of my lifetime. I also think that aisan people like to take pics to remember the moments, while american/canadian people just take a selfie just for the sake of posting it to look good. Asians are good at math: Yeah, basically anything that requires effort, i found that due to the culture, they work harder/earlier or study more often. I am a combination of both smart and stupid, and i would rather be partially stupid since it helps with being funny, since someone who is a dumbass would do dumb stuff while someone who is smart will most likely not do dumb stuff. Asians are good with spicy food: I find they were decent, but id give the mexican and indian people the trophy for being good with spicy foods 7:30 i know why its just called kungfu since westerners like myself dont know every single style of martial arts, so we picked the most friendly (pronounciation wise) word to describe it. I think most westerners know theres more fighting styles than the kungfu style, we just dont want to list 20 styles in a row or something lol. Western fighting style is heavy on no technique and just on power like boxing, wrestling and street fighting. Like its grabs, throws and direct punches/blocks. But for eastern fighting styles its mostly on how to use your hand to fight someone in 1000 ways, like chops, pushing, pulling, redirects, etc.. basically heavy on the techniques. The other two with anime and kpop, yeah i can see that being the staple for introducing the culture or catching the attention of foreigners. Asians have pretty skin: I find its more gentle than western skin, but im guessing since darker tones/colours are easier on the eyes, like this white screen when its midnight out with barely any light is hurting my eyes while typing out this comment lol. Its pretty hard for someone to get me to have a harsh stereotype on someone for anything since i am pretty open minded, i just like to see the differences in people and i try to learn as much as i can before having an opinion on a person based on their race. Like for black people, i didnt immediately gave into that they are all in gangs or something, i thought they had great sense of style and they were really good athletic wise.
@@strpa.mp4IF anything, Indians are more like me (a White male in the US) and my family, by how they behave and such. Like whenever I see Indian tourists in my New York State small town we always vibe well with each other.
As an American I associate spicy food way more with South Asian or southeast Asian food, like Thai food. I don't know that I've had Korean food tho, I think it's less common than Japanese and certainly than Chinese (or Chinese American, anyway, which is different)
I remember there was this one song that now that I think about it it was extremely rude. It went: My mum’s Chinese (pushing the corners of their eyes up) My dad’s Japanese (pushing the corner of their eyes down) And look what they did 2 me (pulling one up and one down) We were in Year 2, but still that’s no excuse.
What is spicy. This is the big question. A lot of people seem to think that something has to taste hot, like chili, to be spicy but anything with salt or pepper is spicy.
That girl in the middle is so cute. I dont get the "they all look the same" crap my fellow westerners seems to say. I can clearly see who is from what country or region. All three are beautiful and intelligent women. Thanks for the video.
When i lived in China my girlfriend came from west of Beijing (from Inner Mongolia) and she often got mistaken for Korean. there is a fair bit of difference between northern and southern Chinese in both stature and cuisine.
I started multiplication addition substraction and division in primary school I think, but I don't know how the system class work for you, I think I was like 6 or 7 yo. I remember that my mother was always testing me and my brother on multiplication, every week-end even during vacation, that was so annoying 😢but you gotta do what you gotta do
I was the Korean adoptee in class, which meant everyone called me "No-Eyelid Girl" and then all I wanted to be was a normal white girl. Now it's the opposite--in college, all of my white, Caucasian, American friends know more about Korean culture than I do. My friend who is white speaks Korean fluently and I can't speak a single word . . .
@@hansantonio110 no❤ their sample ain't valid. They mentioned asia when they only invite east asian lmao Asia is wide dude. There are South, southeast, west, middle east asia
Spicy food is mostly East and souteast asian things. Central and middle east mostly have food with a lot of spice but not that spicy. Selfie might be an east and southeast asian things too (tho i heard middle east people love selfie too. About the eyes, well, it just Japanese, Chinese and Korean things (probly Singaporean too). Math, dang, i thinks its also a Japanese, Chinese and Korean things. We Indonesian hate it lol, i dont know about other nation, but surely a lot Singaporean good at it, a lot Malaysian and Pinoy hate it.
My wife is asian and one of our kids has rounder eyes and whiter skin than anyone in my european/native american ancestry and another has dark skin and slanted eyes... no Westerner has ever brought it up in conversation with us, but when we're in Asia it is a constant topic with everyone we meet, especially relatives....it's not offensive to us at all, but I know the racists/leftists in america would go nuts on any "white" who ever got caught mentioning it on video, especially using the colorful array of slang we hear for it in asia...
indians are generally good at maths nd all bcz of the huge population we have to study hard frm a young age to crack the entrance exams and get admission in our desired Universities 😀
East Asians are good at maths as their numerical IQs are skewed higher on that portion of the test. This is likely a genetic difference. You see this reflected in SAT scores in the US and GCSE maths in the UK.
Actually the REAL wasabi, the one you will find in Japan is not spicy AT ALL, it just gives flavour but the wasabi you find outside of Japan is spicy because the ingredients are different. You can google it 😉. Real wasabi = not spicy
all of them are beautiful but I have a crush on the Korean lady her English is so good. Japanese have a nice skin too like Koreans and Chinese, Japanese clear skin looks natural , the Koreans look like they have shiny clear or glass look on the skin, and Chinese skin looks similar to Korean minus the glass skin look.
Honestly, I was wondering whether Japanese girl in the video is raised in Japan or not😅 I'm Japanese but I don't feel Japan at all by her. I guess they couldn't find a Japanese girl who speak Korean and English well cuz most of Japanese hardly speak other languages compared to other countries.
I ate at a Japanese restaurant and there was a little green glob of like paste... 3 glasses of water later i couldn't eat the rest of the food and got it to go. It made me cry and no one warned me how spicy it was :( ask about food before you stick anything in your mouth.
Do you not know what wasabi is...? I thought everyone knew what is was and how spicy it is. If you don't know, it's what you put on sushi. Basically, you take a tiny amount of it (like really tiny), and put it on sushi. It's supposed to give it a kick of spice. That's why there was so little.
@@samuelkim5957 I was between 17-20 yo, ate for the first time at a sushi place, and had no idea what they surved or what to order. All i knew then "what sobie is that?" take a bit of this, a bit of that.. eat... )))SHOCK((( omg omg omg omg water... more... water... not enough omg omg.. water... wth did i eat exactly?!?!? yea wasn't funny then but afte the fact it was a learning exp. I won't do that again. Never even heard of a ghost pepper, had no idea there were foods that could actually kill people.
A lot of the Chinese restaurants where I live (Trondheim, Norway) are actually Sichuan cuisine restaurants, which gives locals the impression that ALL Chinese food is aggressively spicy.
"I don't feel like Koreans wear colorful clothes" then the Korean girl is the only one wearing color. The actual stereotype is that Koreans wear light colors, while Japan and China wear dark clothes.
I think this channel is by foreign students in Korea or something. All of them can speak Korean, and I think the Japanese girl was not confident speaking English like the rest.
I’m just curious, why does the Japanese girl speak Korean? Not once has she spoke Japanese… and I notice that she has a Korean accent kinda… I’m wondering why she is representing Japanese. (Just curious, not arguing or anything.)
I get what you mean, but the interviewer being English and all, the Chinese girl speaking English and not a single word of Chinese kinda makes sense to me. But the need to speak Korean to an English interviewer and representing Japanese kinda confuses me 😅
The channel is by students in Korea, I think, so they all can speak Korean. Maybe the Japanese girl was not confident speaking in English (Japanese in general are not very fluent in English, and even if they do understand, they're shy to speak it). The rest spoke in English mostly for our benefit.
Math one, yeah I can say all, if not 99% asian learn it in a very young age. I didn't realise it cuz it's so normal haha, until I heard that it's not the same in western
Actually, apart from wasabi Japanese is absolutely not spicy and Japanese people are very sensitive to spicyness. Even the Japanese curry is pretty sweet
KungFu is not so popular in China in these days, many young people don't have much interest in it, they prefer learning guitar, piano, basketball... Most of those still playing FungFu are those inherited from their fathers or grand fathers.
Mariko lived in Korea for a while she has a RU-vid channel marikorea” she only speaks Korean in her video except when speaking to her family. Her English is limited so probably didn’t feel comfortable speaking English here.
- they were confused about the (spicy food) stereotype, and this is a modern stereotype, you can blame (Uncle Roger) for that, he's south east Asian, but he looks east Asian, so the stereotype will affect you lol. - for Mariko... I hear Wasabi is very spicy, and it's japanese, but I guess yeah, not too much spicy foods in Japan. - skin care.... East Asians have natural beautful hair, so it's normal they will focus on other beauty products, like skin, eyes, teeth, clothes etc... but I thought the stereotype would be them having beautiful hair....
I feel like this Japanese girl is kinda wrong choice here since she doesn't even know the stereotype that even most Japanese people know, BUT she tells stereotype that other Japanese don't know much about. For example, when she said "Japanese think Koreans are smart" but I've never heard of that in Japan. "Korean have more beautiful skin compared to Japanese" is what most Japanese Kpop fangirls idolizing Korean would say here in Japan. So... I guess she is just a Koreaboo. Of course it's Korean channel and she's studying in Korea all the way, means she loves Korean stuffs so it makes sense lol
In fact, the people who appear in this video are biased because they like Korea and stay there. They don't represent their country. Chinese usually think they are number one. And the Koreans in this video are not very Korean. She is a westernized Korean who grew up in Canada. As you pointed out, this Japanese just addicted to Korea.
I don't understand why Japanese people are loved all over the world. They refuse to show us who they really are, they impose us formalities, they lie all the time, they criticize foreigners, but they suddenly mind it when theyt're criticized. They pretend to be good people but refuse to admit their cultural issues . If they all show the same attitude, how can you tell if they are good people or not? These people have serious hypocrisy issues. they're all overly mysterious and force themselves to act like robots . don't annoy with "nyeeeeeeh, ppl r like that evrywhere in da world" Or "ive got many friends in japan" without explanations please
This video was super fun but I wish they called east asian stereotypes or something because other countries from Asia have drastically different stereotypes.
