I don’t know about that. My ex’s in the past were worried that I wasn’t east asian even though my family is on the wealthier side and my parents also care a lot about the race of my potential partners.
I don’t think so. They do care a lot, because Asian culture value family. They always expect us to settle down and give them grandchild. Rich partner make Asian parents feel relieved when they know they can’t change anything. at least being rich will not be harshly judged by the society
@@Chris-oo7lr If my Jamaican mom and family ever found out, I would be skinned alive and then DISWONED 🤣. If I was a man I would probably be dead...then disowned 💀
@@esmereldasnickles8056 🤣🤣 Love your sense of humour. I am French of Cameroonian origin. In Cameroon, gay people (but it's always worse for men) literally get lynched. And I have never had my parents, any aunties, uncles mention homosexuality. It's as taboo as the word Voldemort in the Harry Potter world.
I have to say though that the "white parents" in the video doesn't really work in France. There are a lot of French gay white people here who as soon as they come out get disowned and kicked out of their homes... And their parents don't want to have anything to do with them
White parents: It's ok, we accept you for who you are. We love you so much! Never forget that. As long as you're happy, we're happy. Asian parents: We already knew you were gay. That's no excuse for being a failure!!! Go back to studying and become a doctor!!!
Hmm, idk. I feel like I would be disowned if I was gay. The conversation in my family would go more like: "You are gay?! No! Why do you think that?! No. Are you sure?! Yes? Then get out. I did not raise you to be like this. It is not natural! You're not my daughter anymore!"
@@rachel999 I guess it depends on which race you are as an Asian, some might be more accepting/tolerant than others. Apart from each family's upbringing or values that is
I've been watching these videos for over a year. A few months ago we were in Chinatown searching for cookware, and when I was looking at pans and wooden spoons I found myself thinking of their secondary use as a "home defense item". 🤔
Yeah...there's no way my mum would let me live if I was gay and she doesn't care that much about money, she just wants me to be healthy (and successful). The being a doctor part is kinda true though. 😂
My mom and dad are like oh you're gay? Don't forget to do well in school and live a better life. My parents don't give a crap because they aren't conservative and their culture isn't closed minded.
This is just so relatable to me 😂, Im Asian and my parents don't even care who I'll get married to. My mom: "You just study hard and be rich in the future, gotta make those money" My dad: "Married someone with high education level, all genders are acceptable in this household, but failure are not acceptable"
0:33 Yeah this isn't how this went down in my house. My sister came out as a lesbian and while my mother was supportive, if not confused because my sister had dated only men the majority of her life, my father went into denial. If you asked my father about it, he would act like it was the first time he was hearing this piece of information. Now don't get me wrong, he has always supported my sister- it was just like his brain could not understand what it meant to be anything other than heterosexual.
I still remember when I told my mom that I'm planning to take hormones for HRT(I'm trans MTF) and she suddenly brought up the topic of me dropping out of college because I want to work full time soon. She said that I shouldn't drop out of college because degree is important and the topic suddenl moved there 😭 She doesn't care whether I'm trans or not, she just doesn't want me to be a failure 😭😭😭
Nah she doesn’t want you homeless. Trust me, the last thing you want is to not have a degree nowadays. Basics such as education should be done first. The rest later. A logical approach that always works. I have a classmate who is trans. She did something like that done but even she completed nursing school. Money doesn’t grow on trees easily so you first plant seeds
@@kuuverse and @markgenesissargento1459 I wish the both of you good luck with your transitioning, i hope you both have good support systems. My 14 yr old daughter/son is trans, FTM, and I'm looking into testosterone for him. The hardest thing for me is getting use to the pronouns. He told me 2 years ago and i still screw up sometimes. But i only want him to be happy, doesn't bother me at all that he's trans. I just wish more parents were supportive of it, some people don't understand that it's not a choice and a person can't help the way they feel. Some of his friends have to deal with unsupportive families and it breaks my heart. Anyway, good luck to you both!
I'm white and my Mom gave me the “Are you sure? What makes you think you’re gay?!” response and I buckled under the barrage of terrible questions that I told her I was Bi (I'm not) so that there is a chance she will have grandchildren (there isn’t) and so she would calm down (she did).
Mom, I’m gay… White Parents if they’re progressives: Oh don’t worry son, we will always love you. Whether your gay or not. ❤😁 White Parents if they’re conservatives: oh, okay. 🙂 *immediately calls a church to perform an exorcism on you tomorrow*
@@Leonard_Wolf_2056 yeah bc there are so many other issues to focus on. I'm a conservative and I say just leave them alone, it may be wrong in a religious perspective, but I don't see how 2 girls getting married affects anyone but them.
nah when i told my mom "mom i am bisexual" she laughed in my face and said "well is it because u can't get a bf" 💀😭 that was like years ago and i still haven't recovered 💀 (My mom is Thai and grew up with only gay friends and trans friends so she really didn't give a fck 😂)
@@mobarakjama5570 No man, you messed up the words. I'd have bad parents then. Who'll also be questionable human beings for using physical violence on another human being.
As an Indian i can definitely say my perents are homophobic i don't blame them our society is not good and they both are not that educated. I am gay and i don't feel any Shame for that my god loves me how i am om swasthyastu.❤️🕉️🇮🇳
Good for you, there is absolutely NOTHING to be ashamed of and I'm so happy that your parents haven't succeeded in making you feel shame. You be you and do what makes you happy!! I hope someday soon that they will come around, i can't imagine having to live with parents who don't understand.
@@elijahmitchell9944 literally 95% of the world hates g@ys. They definately stepped outside of their room. Start blaming yourself before thinking it's the world that is in the wrong.
Hunny, your writing and your acting are SO GOOD. I had no idea what Asian Mama was about to say, but this was HILARIOUS !!! Bless her for being 10 steps ahead of the rest of us (; !
When my youngest, who is trans, told me they were dating someone rich, I was a bit like 'Asian Mother' 😅 Sadly there are too many parents of all heritages who disown their children when they come out. When I (white British) mentioned that my child was gay the whole family was kicked out of our church. It was so very, very hurtful. These were the same people who had declared that they loved and welcomed everyone. Happy with the Quakers now, though, whose philosophy can be summed up as 'you do you', 'be kind' and shhhhh 😊
They had full right to kick your son as he disregarded their rules, the reason they had the full right is due to most g@ys engaging in same s3x activities. What they should have done first is "Do you wish to walk the path we do, the path towards light, or do you wish to walk your own path?" Hierarchy means structure and structure means rules. There are consequences for not following them. Loving some one does not mean supporting their bad decisions. It means doing what is best for them. Letting some one you love engage in same s3x behavior is not good for any one. "You do you" philosophy is flawed from the start, as just because it does not harm people, it harms your community, and harming your community counts as causing harm.
@@yippee8570 Which assumptions did I make exactly? Them kicking out your son for disrespecting the rules? Most g@ys engaging in h0m0s3xual activities?
@Leonard Wolf Sexual orientation is not a choice in the same vein that we do not choose the color of our skin we are born with. What is best for them and the community is to accept them for who they are, simple as that. There was no reason to bring up sexual activity, but even then, same-sex activities doesn't hurt anyone anymore than heterosexual activities does - hint, neither does any harm. Yes, we cannot support the bad decisions of the people we love, but being gay is not bad nor a decision. Stop using the "love the person not the sin" excuse and hiding behind outdated let alone false Christian beliefs to refuse to adapt to a new, updated understanding of the world and to be homophobic for no good reason. God loves everyone no matter their sexual orientation or gender because He made them that way. Of course He condemns sinning, but being queer is not a sin. That is the truth whether you like it or not.
Many unfortunately don't practice what they preach, they cherry pick at a book that's already had many edits from when Kings had the right to do so. Things also get lost in translation, or bend a definition to fit their narrative. Though still wondering how "Love thy neighbor as thyself"(A commandment) or "Do onto others as you would have them do unto you" are just completely lost on people.
Here’s another version Mexican Parents: You: Mama… Mom: Que You: Im [Insert term]… Mom: Youre still young, you’ll grow out of it. Welcome to my life ^^ It didn’t go exactly that way, but thats basically the response my mom has whenever i say something about my sexuality or asexuality
So sorry!! I'm not gonna lie, when my 14 yr old daughter/son told me he was trans (FTM) 2 years ago, i was completely supportive, but i did think it was a phase at first. Only because up until then he had always been EXTREMELY girly and at the time, all of his friends were saying the same, so i thought maybe it was peer pressure. But now, I've come to realize that it's not a phase and I'm looking into testosterone for him. I just want my child to be happy, i don't care about anything else. Good luck, i hope things get better for you!
