Chinese Kids See Foreigners for the First Time 

Teaching.... NOTHING!

foreigner pronouns as Waigworen VS alien pronounces as Waixingren😂one syllable different.Little kids taught to differentiate the two words vocally on pronunciation base

What arent they teaching about foreigner

@@pinkky-dollys6967that’s so cool

Yeah, that crazy regardless of his age. Guess they're teaching these kids china is the center of the universe.

Glad to be here lol

​@@OrientalPearltake me to your leader!

I think he meant he usually doesn't see angels land down here. 😅

​@@dseb99🤮🤮🤮

🤣🤣🤣

In this case, it's actually just a literal translation of the Chinese kind of though.

They don't have the literal expression of "american", instead they say "america person".

theyre just asking where shes from. not all languages work like english

It's because when they say someone is from a country, the say the country and then they add person after. For example 中国 (zhong guo) = China, 中国人(zhong guo ren) = Chinese or 美国 (Mei guo) = The US, 美国人 (Mei guo ren) = American, really works with any country just add 人 (ren), which means person at the end. So in this case when they said 你是什么人？(ni shi shen me ren?) = what person are you?, it's just asking you what country are you from

9-11 likes Let me don't change it

lmao "IT"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It💀💀

They were so cute and curious

🤣🤣

And it has yellow hair! These kids are precious!

More BLOODY IGNORANT than curious IMO!

Hmmm

If the roles were reverse and it was an American kid saying this to a chinese women, people would say the parents are raciste. kinda sad

@@jpwertyQC Sad but it's not the same. Kind of unavoidable when there's almost zero diversity, parents of American kids have no excuse lol.

Because they are really racist. All Earth Human know white people are the most racist.

Not true. But sometimes kids are great.

In China the kids are eating propaganda....

lol, tell that to those who were bullied for being different(for example race)

@@Unethical.DodgsonI’m guessing kids are just straight criminals out the womb where you live.

I don't like kids that much

it was their first time they saw somebody from outside like the chinese kids and i think you felt REALLY special during your visit to Egypt

Sis they just think you are hot because I am a blonde with blue eyes Arabic male and all the girls it the males with those specification are considered very rare and every wants them

@@Ntheking. everybody sees blonde with blue eyes people hot bro . . .

@@Ntheking. but to be honest people here in egypt have the same idea about appearance that blonde with blue eyes are the most beautiful and wanted people haha

@@mohamedhassan1240 yep even me my crush is blonde with green eyes and she is HOT 💀

But why do they dont know I mean is it cultural there not to teach your kids about other skin color or hair color? I am wondering as this is at least the 5th video of this kind I see and same reaction but in Japan not tho

​​@@GD-xc4wg I'm a redhead and it happened to me in Japan every time I went. Japanese people just tend to be a little quieter about it, but they'll stare, point, gossip, and they'd try to touch my hair. Especially the ones who aren't from the touristy parts of Tokyo. Japan has less than 1% foreign population, and probably China has similar numbers. The xenophobia is ingrained- at least these kids are sorta friendly about it.

@@Joanna_135 This is crazy to me. Mostly that today most people have a tv or access to internet. Even cartoons have different skin or hair color. I went once in China but I have dark hair so it dont really is diff to them lol but I did not notice anyone looking at us odd or creepy... I had kids of one of my friend who went in South Korea and they said ppl spy on them, some odd men come talk non sense to them. Its creepy. Scary. By the way Japan must have been incredible to visit in term of architecture :)

@@GD-xc4wg yeah but if you'd never seen a cartoon or actor in person and then they were right there, might make you a little curious. Tbh people have been touching my hair and asking to clip some off to take to the salon all my life so it wasn't really new, just annoying. Redheads make up about 1% of the world population, so it tracks that anyone who falls under that visibly different 1% (like foreigners in Japan and China and probably Korea) they'd get a lot of attention. It was- it's nice to visit but living there... takes a certain kind of strength.

@@Joanna_135 yes I remember one of my school mate , one of our classmate guy would always ask her weird and very rude question. People can be so annoying and stupid. I guess when its kids by curiosity its okay but when it comes to adults its different Yes I bet

She should have said, "Hello, fellow Earthling!"

You Made Me Laugh😂

Imagine if that's was white kids ppl will be discusting racist kids staring.

Well under a legal definition she would be an alien.

Bwahahahahah

😂😂😂

Sounds like India

🤣😂

That’s so cute lol

Same thing happened to me in Thailand. Lots of photos with random kids. And before you ask, I don't look like the Rock. Im just a normal guy about 5 foot 8 with a bald head 😂

Does she ask them if it's ok to record first?

​@20D0D0 she's pointing her phone and the mom sees that and doesn't do any signs to make her stop that so I'm assuming it's fine.

That just reminded me of that part in a Family Guy cutaway where there were a group of Swedish people being amazed at seeing a black guy sipping tea 😂

I have a feeling in China these kids have never seen someone that looks different in person before. It’s a pretty homogenous country compared to the US for example. Can’t blame them for being very interested in the difference and not understanding it could be considered disrespectful to point it out. Yeah I am glad she is understanding towards this, clearly she gets it a lot and is used to it.

@@alaskannative11that’s the example i always bring up to friends who asks me about living in China 😂

Well, when I was born, my Mom's friend said: "Welcome to the world little Earthing."😊 That is the best thing to ever say to anyone, because it recognizes a person born as a person of the world, Earth, rather than being so divisive and just only noticing differences rather than being inclusive. So I like it that the kid said that and his parent/caregiver recognized that, yes, she is an earthling.😊😅😊

​@@abbb4460Yet stating, almost questioning, that she is on Earth does imply he thinks she's not of Earth, and doesn't acknowledge her as being born on Earth as you said.

They said earthing.

@@thekeysman6760man, fuck this earth. I wish I was born on Pluto instead of this waste land

@@sforza209 The child said "you are on Earth." The mother said "she is an Earthling". But it was misspelled as Earthing.

But that's because of the literal translation. "Where/ Which country are you from?" in Chinese can be 你是哪国人? which literally translates to "you are which country person?".

Means where are from

its actually a common way to ask where someone is from but yeah youre right

Ni shi na guo ren is like where are you from

This is the kind of friendliness and genuine interactions that are possible when you don't have masses of non native ppl forced on a country like we see in Europe with arbs+afr

it's admirable and difficult for a English native speaker to learn and speak Asian language. which shows respect for local people and culture. every student in China has to learn English for many years，but most of us still dont speak English well. this happens not only in China but also in South Korea , Japan

When I was in Japan as an expat locals would always want to touch my hair because it was soft lol they would react the same as you said you'd speak Korean when I would try and speak Japanese to them

Well. I don’t know how this will go in the other way. I’m from one of the three East Asian countries, and had lived in the Midwest of America for more than six years. I learned English since elementary school. Even today, I don’t have any ideas of how the locals think of me

@@seanwalters1977that’s interesting lollll. I heard that from AsianBoss which is another RU-vidr. So where are you from?

Also, I’m curious where you at in SK? Seoul or small cities?

Similarly to other language, they dont have a word for people from a specific country the way English has American for people from america or Italian for those from Italy. They just call them america person. Which is why she said what person are you instead of where are you from. I mean they do say that too but a direct translation would be more of ' where you come from' some other ways theyd ask where a foreigner is from would be 'you are a person of which country' or simply 'which country are you'

I love it. I'm going to use this now

I'm a lazy person what about you? 😏

I thought she was asking if she was a famous person.

In Korean 어느 나라 사람이에요? means "Where are you from?" That's what it essentially means, but it directly translates to "Which country person are you?" :))

They teach kids to be mean in Japan?

@@JohnM-sw4scno they actually teach them to have the best manners but i don’t know about the foreigner part because in america we’re taught to hate places like russia

@@tutorialsforyou3981 I’m from the United States and at no point was I taught to hate Russia You don’t have to make everything political

​@@tutorialsforyou3981I'm also an American who was never taught to hate Russia. You're telling me you are taught to hate Russia in School?

@@JohnM-sw4sc it is true in some places

@@Lita-bj5irno they are just curious because there aren’t that many foreigners in China but in America there are a lot more people from many different backgrounds

Natures gentlemen are kids.

Refreshing, and sometimes very unintentionally insulting 😂 once had a kid ask why “that ladies belly giggles” during pickup from a summer camp, I lost it lol

Until they get too old, then it‘s called racism all of a sudden 🤔

lol Where have you been? Some of those kids has a demeanor thinking they are superior. You're in an illusion.

​​@@maxkonig559they are just simply being playful and curious

@@rainboi5920 exactly

Correction, respectable kids don't do this. Parents that have raised their kids wrong do this.

One thing Chinese aren't, polite.

@@sfall616 lol painting the whole race for one bad experience, typical racist behaviour

Whats the forbidden city is it actually called that?

@@deadkitty5723 yes it’s the original home to the emperor and that’s what it’s called. You have likely seen the entrance many times in photographs.

@@deadkitty5723 the palatial grounds in Beijing where many emperors ruled from, most recently the Great Qing. (Manchus that subjugated China and then acted like them to fit in as the ruling class). Beijing is in Northern China near Manchuria and the staple crop of the region is wheat! Important cause wheat based societies conquer rice based societies (there has never been an empire of the entirety of China with a capital in the south).

​@@oppionatedindividual8256 Ö that's so cool. Thanks for sharing!!

​@@deadkitty5723well to be that guy, in mandarin it's called gu gong (goo goong), which sort of just means ”ancient palace". But forbidden city sounds way cooler...

Yep. As a pale, tall, blonde haired, blue eyed young girl it was hilarious. I kept asking, "They do know I'm not a famous person or anything like that right?!". It was a novelty for them, and the kids were the most entranced. 😂

I've had the same in Indonesia, lovely people though.

Yeah a huge chunk of the world hasn't meet or seen a white person before. You get a whole different treatment in tribal nations of Africa. Kids freak out thinking you are a ghost trying to take them away and cry if you get close.

You could *see* the inherent fear suddenly fill the little girl’s face when the camerawoman announced in fluent Chinese that she was an American. The same happens over here in the states, there’s a *marked* change of reaction when American children see (at least for the first time) a Chinese or a Russian adult speaking perfect English. The Cold-War tensions and distrust are still subconsciously alive, even to this day, and the wounds will likely never be fully healed for either side.

@@hobomike6935 they are still there but are getting weaker. With the fact that’s it’s so easy now connecting to people across the world, I’d say once the people in power are gone almost all of those wounds will be too.

Angel, wait till he grows up and reads about what some of these Jezebelangels do to their husbands in divorce.

No because foreigners don’t go to china anymore. Many laws have changed since. Any foreigner can be suspected as a spy and you will be detained and given false allegations. China is getting closed off to the world. They don’t see any shows from outside the country. This is the effect of communism

When foreigners speak the native language, it's like a form of witchcraft!!! Magic. It scares most people... Seriously..

Now imagine his reaction seeing a black person

@@coffeelink943 there's video of adults being shocked at at black person speaking Chinese. So, the kids would either be crazy curious or just plain freaked out..

Probably, actually not that differently 😂😂 and if a black person with 1% knowing on which continent they are is ofended by a 2 year old that's a "Them" problem then.Get it together men, women and children 😉 😉

They never seen a blondie up close.

haha fee

Probably watched too many Star Wars movies.

LMAO! Now that would have been hilarious

wrong translation

I'm pretty sure they've seen many different nationalities... asians are diverse ,they're not all Chinese 😊

@@kristie979 Asians are super diverse, yes. But I meant foreigners in general, not non-Asian. They could react this way towards a Korean person or a Japanese person as well, however it’s kind of obvious that they’re more likely to react this way to seeing a black or white person for the first time. In many countries, there are large populations of people who have little to no socialization with foreigners of any kind. It’s really not hard to believe that a young Chinese child has never seen a foreigner before. What experience would they have had? That’s not to be rude either, I didn’t know people with disabilities existed until I was in kindergarten because I was only ever around my family. It’s near impossible for kids to meet strangers as it is, let alone foreigners who are seen as rare in those parts of the world.

@@kristie979true, but the kids in her video were all Chinese. Apparently, she was in China. 😂

@@make_the_world_better_place at least you get might point.. thanks 😊

They've seen foreigners but perhaps not many like Oriental Pearl; she's tall and blonde, so quite a rare sight especially in smaller cities.

yeah and their parents not being able to educate them about the world is also amazing

In America, kids are taught acting in such a manner is racist. Never should you be shocked to see a different person. Some of these reactions would get the kids disciplined

@tjlomin1466 curiosity is always a good thing. And I would like to point out to you that they were not in America and yet they were still kids and they were still cute. Ohh one more thing, curious kids have been spotted in America over the years too..

Why is it such a shock? Is it less touristy areas?

@@sophj8896 Yes. But the main reason is that foreigners only go to big cities in China,And there are 685 cities in China.Probably only a dozen cities most frequented by foreigners

For real I thought it was so cute not gonna lie😂 lol I would have been like I come from mars I’m just here to visit don’t tell anybody😂

I always here people say respect but genuinely it’s not always respectful. The curiosity is definitely there and the innocence or at least naïveté but respect is something that shows from the way you act and these kids act like the foreigners they see are aliens (not that we’re better) but it’d be nice a lil more kindness and not immediate judgement from these kids even tho it’s likely the school and their parents that might give them a misguided notion about foreigners as well as the foreigners themselves and all of the ways those two groups intersect

​@@Badoinkington most Asians aren't coming from a place of malice because foreigners are so rare, especially in China. the more diversity in a place, the more respect and understanding for other groups. they don't understand foreigners because they basically never come across them, and really have no reason to care unless their parents tell them to. older gen will be more rude because they grew up understanding foreigners to be the death of their culture, but younger kids are just ignorant, not impolite.

@@Badoinkingtonor their just kids, it’s when you get older you get to understand how to behave properly. Children are innocent and tells exactly what’s on their mind So it’s not about bad parenting. Also what do you mean when saying “these kids”. Kids in general, not just these kids, would do the same

The kids in the video were sweet. If someone sees something else, it's coming from their own preconceived notions and biases. Would a person biased against Chinese children be kind to them if they visited America for example? Probably not, but I hope that changes. They're just innocent children and we are all earthlings.

@@stephenwaldron2748 it does sound a little silly in english!! i do find it interesting how direct translations even down to the structure can really show you how their language is built and structured and how different it is from ours!! its very neat!

​@@-myharlequinnsapphicarch- Indeed, languages are really interesting like that. This also makes me think of the dialect spoken in my country (I'm from the Caribbean) where, for question words, you'd won't say "when" or "where", but "what time" and "what part" respectively. "Where is she?" => "What part she is?" I also like how a lot of dialects influenced by West African languages, the dialect here included, are similar to Chinese in that they don't use an auxiliary before an adjective (zero copula I think it's called). So, instead of "He is good", it's "He good", which can be directly translated word for word to Mandarin: 他好

A few hours later, a different group found me, and when I asked they said were from the same teacher and were amazed that I knew the teacher's name.
