@@BeanMacduinoone said he was a hero. He answered her question honestly as someone from his country would which is the honorable thing to do in his country and he is honoring his culture and that is what he knows as the appropriate thing to do. If he would have lied, that would have been disrespectful to his host. They wanted an honest answer and they got one and he is not wrong in his answer at all.
@@midnightrose1982The whytes on here are hailing him as a hero in the comments because they think pretending to despise their own race will clear the sins of their past.
lol... I do that when I eat 😅. Someone in college pointed it out. I've never been obese though. I'm 5'7", and 190 was my highest weight after eating, eating, eating for Thanksgiving (with leftovers), and Christmas (with leftovers).
I mean he's not wrong but maybe that's why they also got a low birth rate 😮 Women no longer want to reproduce with ignorant men who expect models as wives after giving birth
Some polish people are like that too. I said to my customer about my mother, I said she is fat and my customer got offended on my mums behalf.. so next time I went there with my mum and I asked my mum in from of the customer "are you fat?" And my mum replied "yes". We don't see it as an attack but honesty. And if you are fat it more likely that you are lazy so yeah..
I went to school w/ a girl from Vietnam & she stood up & went off in class one day bc the class was noisy & being disrespectful to the teacher. She said that we were ALL entitled & LAZY in America! She said her family sacrificed a lot to get her to the US so she could go to college. She said that we should stop complaining about EVERYTHING, be quiet so others can learn & respect the teacher! It was one of my best days at college 💛
I'm a "Black" Woman who did the same thing in class, when I was in College. I did so, because the class was chaotic and disrespectful to the Professor, and those of us who DID want to learn. I told the disrupters, "If you don't want to learn Shyt leave, don't disrupt the rest of us.. nobody's forcing you to be here!". They all got quiet, the Professor Thanked Me, and Class proceeded. This was an Algebra class, and the way the Professor taught the Course, made Algebra seem like basic Math, a True Gem. I'll never forget the Professor because of his way of Teaching, and Humble nature. He was Asian.. Everyone in the class stayed until the end of the Semester, and Passed with good grades. Sometimes, it only takes 1 person to stand up for what's right. ✨❣️
@@MastaNas9I thought the other man sitting next to the Mom was the dad with his quiet grin off to the side💀 either way dude was just happy to hear it play out
Some people need manners. You don’t insult people when they make you dinner, then call their daughter fat. Brutal honesty is not necessary, it’s rude. I would not judge all Koreans by this punk.
@ChaniKynes-xc8qi I kind of agree, but I think it depends on the situation and intent. If someone next to me smells bad, I might be quiet about it to be polite, or if I wanted to be malicious I'd tell them in front of everyone else. Or if I was just really bad socially and genuinely wanted to help them I might tell them without being careful about it. But if someone was like swearing loudly on the train or something like that I'd ask them politely to be quieter. And if someone directly asked me what I thought about something they were doing, I'd tell them because they invited my opinion, even if it's a little harsh
He probably appreciated the straightforward nature, it's always refreshing to hear instead of just giving people the answer they want to hear! (Lovely username btw, is it a Donnie Darko reference?)
I agree. Brutal honesty is not helpful. People know when they're overweight They don't need a a guest at their home insulting them and being an incensitive jerk. I hope she finds a boyfriend who doesn't belittle her in the future.
Two things. First Koreans are very honest people. Number two. You are in the home of someone so a smart guy would be aware and read the room before he starts speaking. And the look on the father's face when that dude touched his daughter's belly. All the guys in my family would have gotten up and boxed his ears in 2 seconds
you forget something...Korean people just dont care...they even said it about that Infront of their own people, they are the most racist among East Asian.
He says "I don't think that way people from Korea think that way!!" She says "Yes he does !" He ends conversation with "No wonder you piggy.." hahaha 🤣😂 I love it ❤😂
So piggy cries wee wee wee all the way out of the relationship. Dude could use some of the easily available and common plastic surgery for the underbite. I guess thats what S. Korean is known for. Judging looks over substance and using same surgeons to look more alike.
Honesty from a friend is better than a lie from an enemy. Honesty and truth lead people to better themselves, rather than convince themselves with lies toward a worsening condition.
They seem surprised by him pointing out that observation, all while living in a country where obesity rates are extremely high and one of the leading causes for death and health issues compared to most other countries
@@Broken_Crackayou can tell the truth without being a jerk about it. He could have left it at that, but then he grabbed that girls stomach and called her a piggy.
As someone who speaks 3 and a half languages, my suspicion is that for some languages to be directly translated to English, things tend to sound a little too literal. He was being genuine and using endearing banter in his head but his language might not translate as flatteringly well into English. Especially during fast paced conversations😂😂😂you just say what you need to say to make sense, no time to filter. So yes it's a mixture of his genuine culture shock but the banter was also just lost in translation😂😂
She had as much food shoved in that mouth as possible. Someone should have taught her some manners at some time. The girl is going to find him calling her a lazy pig not so cute real soon.
He's definitely speaking truth. Eating home cooked healthy meals with enough to have leftovers has been much cheaper than eating out every single day for me.
I’ve lived in South Korea several times while in the military and he’s not kidding! You do see an occasional overweight Korean, but it’s much less common than in America and his honesty, while blunt to them is just their way and hopefully it’ll hit home with this family and they’ll embrace a healthier lifestyle!
Haha right,he just chimed right in with how it’s lazy. He’s had enough. I mean I get it I have a lot of mental setbacks when it comes to cooking especially plus a super tiny kitchen (rental) and limited time. I still cook though but to be fair I only have one kid & not a whole bunch of peoples palettes to consider.
IKR?!!!😂😂😂😂 NOTHING BUT REDNECK PRIDE RIGHT THERE!!!😂😂😂 I think that young man better dodge that bullet bc she's going to look like her grandmother after the first pregnancy! 😳
Koreans aren't being rude when they say things like that; they are being helpful. They tell people they care about when they notice something negative so that the person can be aware of the problem and try to improve.
@@ElanaVital83social cues and norms are different across different cultures. It's not that they don't understand kindness, it's that situations are not always perceived the same way.
@@ElanaVital83 Other countries aren’t as sensitive about the word “fat” like America is. When I first moved to the US I called someone fat, not as an insult but as a matter of fact. Just like calling someone skinny. Everyone was so upset 😭 and I had no idea. I went home and told my mom and she said “they were all idiots” because she too didn’t yet understand the cultural weight of the word “fat” in the US. The next day I asked my fat friend “would you be mad if I called you fat?”. And she responded “🗣️ YES!”, very aggressively. That’s when I understood that in the US fat and anything overweight was considered an insult. It literally isn’t about being “kind”. What’s rude in your culture can simply be honesty in others.
I can say being half Korean, that my mom and her friends gave me no slack😂 when I was small I just thought they ALL were bitches but I understand better in my latter years that this is just how they speak 🤷🏻♀️
My grandma was this brutally honest about my weight and it saved my life. Of course it hurt BUT it motivated me to change. I miss her so much bc she loved me so much she always gave me the whole truth and NOTHING BUT the truth 😞 She was an Aries, some the most brutally honest people on the planet 🥹
I’m curious what response she was actually hoping for?? “Ah yes, Americans, so hardworking, so generous, so heroic, so smart, so successful” Does she not know anything about N/S Korea and the differences between their culture and values compared to America?
He wasn't totally honest when he said that he didn't think that but people in SK thought that of American. I'm not American and I have lived in SK, working as a diplomate for my Country. I have to say that, the majority of the rest of the world is simply jealous of USA having a control over everything in our lives. They resent America for having bailed them out, saved them during wars etc. And when someone saves your life, you begin to hate & resent them because you feel overwhelmed and realized that you might never be able to repay them ever. So you start nit picking to make yourself feel superior. SK consume a lot of pork belly, spam and a lot of process food that are all frozen & very salty not to mention alcoholism & high suicide rate. They want to focus on people's appearance, well, let's talk about size that matters then...
@@tulippenoire I don’t think it’s jealousy of control, hate, resentment, or being overwhelmed.. America is where it is due to greed, lies, theft, etc. There’s more than enough reasons to dislike America without jealousy. It’s similar to the dislike of ‘rich kids’, they’re entitled and have no concept of reality for the rest of the world, they end up in high paid jobs through family connections and they don’t do any work, if you end up working for one of these people you see they cause more problems and financial losses at the company than gain, yet they never face the consequences. Same concept with America. You’re not jealous of dumb rich people, you’d never actually want to be their level of stupid/ deluded/ entitled, but you still have every right to dislike them for their behaviour, and it’s so easy to mock them, it’s hard to resist.
@@Jsee66 yes in that way. ür gotta be one of them pizza the hutt American piggies who’s part of the problem smh ǔ little piggy oinky oinky ass piggy 🐷
No, we need to understand that our country prioritizes profit for corps over food regulation. That’s the difference between S Korea and U.S.. This only happens due to the proliferation of processed food in society, it’s the only variable.
As a person who has lived, worked and fellowshipped with Koreans for years, they are often brutally honest and very opinionated people. I got over the shock awhile ago, but now I just chuckle.
its funny, im half korean half white and from all my experience with asian cultures, asians take honor and dignity and respect much more serious than us amercians too. Thats why asians are so quick to commit suicide because they are so adamant on making their family proud that if they become known to be lazy or fat or whatever, suicide and success are on a much larger and more prevalent scale than it is to us americans as we know things to be. Its really an incredible difference between cultures and goes to show why asians are so successful and different compared to us here especially when their fresh from their own country
I think it is about being honest with what is seen. Americans do not value honesty. Everything must be coated and shaded into pleasantries no matter what it is. If you are fat you are fat and I should be allowed to state that. I wish I could tell my friend and her daughters that they are too fat and need to do something about it.
Unfortunately though, they have a massive bullying problem and also a ton of girls with eating disorders living in that country. The men look down on women too and domestic violence is quite common there
They wanted him to tell them how great they are, how they wish to be like them, and how muc they admire and want to be like them. Instead he gave them the NICE version of how they feel lol😂
Yep exactly! And I also bet these people are the type who throw around the term snow flake and call others “over sensitive” that don’t follow their moral and political ideology. It’s about time someone called them fat. They were totally expecting to hear how great Murika is 😮😂😅
Korean ppl know about RESPECT. This was VERY DISRESPECTFUL. Korean ppl are respectful to other Koreans but when it comes to other cultures/races not so much. Especially black ppl. BUT I do notice the younger generation is changing. This guy is just a CLOWN though.
No, he's in America, and the culture of America is to be polite at dinner and don't rib on people's weight, which is a sensitive and personal matter. If you or I went to another country and started acting rude in a way the native culture perceives as rude, we'd be in the wrong. You have to research basic manners of the country you are residing in
@RedNymph234 You have a point but here in America, we have freedom of speech, that's the difference. I have traveled to several countries and you are 💯 correct. I have to be on my best behavior or face the consequences of their laws/rules. It's not equal but we have more liberties here.
yes, asians especially are very direct. when I gained like 20 lbs depression weight, my nail tech said "you more fat" 😂 and I was like, yes Paul.. I know. 😊
