Olympic Legend Kristi Yamaguchi On Anti-Asian Vitriol: What Makes America So Great Is The Diversity 

Now THAT'S a beautiful American! Kristi Yamaguchi 👍 - GREAT

@Ed Lopow The ccp is to blame, with the deliberate cover up the info on the virus at the start. Yet, the asian-americans who have nothing to do with the CCP are being targeted. Two separate entities, among other things.

Thanks John. I've become paranoid whenever my 75 year old mom going out and about her business. It sucks big time.

Many Japanese Americans served in the military while their families were interned and had their properties taken. Absolutely despicable.

@@aviewer9516 A most heartbreaking History of certain exact suffering endured.

Same here. Don't feel bad. Our American History teacher never mentioned this fact to us either.

My friend if China and USA going war they put all Asians in concertretion camp again.

@@dannyhang7482 Good luck with that.

What diversity are you talking about? Clan diversity is always a weakness in any society, democracy in the Western narrative or not. The most enfranchised groups assimilate completely without fanfare, dilemma or hesitation. Human beings are not hermaphrodites. Love between a man and a woman is powerful. If there is inclusion in courtship and marriage, assimilation will result. Only those discriminated against preserve ethnic cultures. The white melting pot came into existence naturally for a good reason.

What about diversity of ideas?

@@adammotschenbacher8473 Yes, but not all forms of expressions and all thoughts are desirable diversity. Trump is a form of diversity, but some of his expressions will detract from the soundness of society.

@@woodensurfer the "white melting pot" explains you very simply, lol.... you think, but not very clearly. You say a lot but it doesn't mean anything.

@@greenhometony Do you mean a blonde is a blonde, having the widest choices in courtship and marriage, does not make a man happy? Or would you want to be caged into a Chinatown or Korean Town? In the suburb of Milwaukee, there is a Germantown, which is a proper noun you put on an envelope. It has only a faint sense of being German. No disproportionate number of people with German names live in it. Is Germantown a more salubrious society condition than China Town were people look a certain way are caged? And within those with German names, a name is just a name. The only German lineage is with a paternal great grandfather. Does this bring unhappiness? This is the result of a succession of happy courtship and marriages across white nationalities.

Glad you defended yourself. Sad that this was needed.

As a European-American, I am sad that you had to put up with this. Good point that the racist who attacked you came from outside of the country as well. I hope you will not have to deal with this as often in the future now that the media is finally covering this racist and unacceptable behavior.

Oorah!!

Sad but places like Salt Lake City used to be a peaceful.

First come first serve so he has to leave first.

Hyper-sexualizing Asians? You sick SOB. No means no.

@Terry Hawk - why are you beating on Asians?

Thanks so much

um yes, but so was Michelle Kwan. Check out how many titles she won in here career.

same here in North Florida. We love the Vietnamese folks and they run many successful businesses. They introduced me to Vietnamese Cuisine. Now I love Pho Soup!

The Asian half...or the white folks on her husband's side?

@@maximusprime3459 I don't know who the white folks are on Kristie's husband's side as you mentioned. Who are you talking about? I don't know who Kristie is married to. I am praying for the protection of all Asian Americans 🙏. Do you have an issue with that? I hope not.

@@dianebannister4591 I have no quarrel with your prayers.

@@maximusprime3459 thank you.

Prayers are useless when people like Biden are making it legal to discriminate against asians again, pulling the doj case against Yale for doing exactly that.

It is very easy to love her.

Thank you, Sister!

@john 7 rooftop Asians? China has slavery going on right now smh communism failed

@john 7 BS, China always been about capitalism, they have slave labor and etc going on right NOW

I remember that statement - & now, hearing that her family chose to come here (great), & then for her Grandfather to serve during WW2 (honorably I'll bet), now her parents have to "be aware of their surroundings" (sad & disgusting)? These people didn't fail America - America failed them.

For the 2018 Winter Olympic Games when US Figure Skating sent Nathan Chen, Vincent Zhou, and Mirai Nagasu as part of the USA team, some commenter on RU-vid criticized the decision claiming the national federation that governs the sport, USFSA, were trying to fill a quota.

@Jordan Kriss Well said, 👏👏

@The Hammer Of God Which group has done more to the Asian people both in America and overseas? Other Asians

maybe you should get more information on which group of people it is that are attacking Asians on daily basis. Sorry to say, it doesn't fit your narrative.

Agree. Let’s love one another, our fellow Americans that are Asian Americans.# stop bigotry

👊🏿

Considering what's happened in the past few years I'm not sure America is still "great" anymore.

@@aoeiubpmftd378 Lol...it never was great. Hate & racism/sexism has always been apart of the American story. Where's the greatness?

and still gorgeous!

Melania " tell me about it"

Yup that's been my entire life in America and it looks like it won't ever change.

Always people assuming you're a foreigner.

I don't need to imagine it. Ive felt it everyday of my life here in the United States. It does something to you. An extra layer of stress that some people don't need to worry about.

Don’t have to imagine it, already living it.

Not under the Biden administration and certainly not during the Trump. Looks at what is going on in world politics.

@@yummytummy88 I agree except for the CCP.

@ Eddy Lopow.....how much do you get paid to sale your hate and jealousy. Do you still wake up to the sun or wake up to dark night? Your lies are so distasteful. You need help...better seek the prof

SECOND AMMENDMENT. DEFEND YOURSELVES!

@chris ford CCP is strong but no regard for human rights. Who's the brainwashed one?

You're exactly right. She looks at people as people not by their race or any other label. She has also done a lot of good for people since her olympic days. She is an incredible role model.

Yup she looks like she could step onto the rink and hit a triple no problem. ⛸

Agreed, unrelated but she does NOT look 49

I don't get it. She married and raised a family with a Caucasian man. Now she's Asian again? How can you keep going back and forth?

@Trap Daddy sad comment, waist of time!!

I knew there was a reason I love Wendy's :D

Who cares???

Thank you for bringing light to this part of the story. www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/1992-03-08/to-marketers-kristi-yamaguchi-isnt-as-good-as-gold

I remember Kristi mentioned in a television interview that it was her mother who had a say in what was being offered to her. Her mother had concerns about Kristi being all over the place in commercial endorsements. It was said they were very selective in what product endorsements they would take on. Kristi also strikes me as keeping her own counsel. She is very private about her personal life and says very little about it.

49 and looks 29 👍

She almost looks like she did during her skating days.

She still so pretty!💙🇺🇸💙

Better! She's always gotten prettier with age. Though I do miss that epic '90s scrunchie.

@@vitaboost Racist

Botox magic.

@@JackAShepherd ikr☺

So glad social media took away his platform. But Trump heads will still congregate wherever he goes.

No, before that. Before Chicago? Yeah... I wasn't born??

@Alex Jones Uh. Yes. A lot do.

@Alex Jones◀USED UGLIER! TUNNELVISION.

You would think.

Maybe being Asian has something to do with it!!

You sound completely racist right now! Go look at the statistics it's not White people committing the most crimes against Asians, stop trying to create a false narrative!

You do know people understand the difference between where a virus initially came from and an actual person right? If anything is perpetrating violence it's the depression, stress, and anxiety to name a few symptoms of being on lockdown from Covid. Plus the media isn't helping by fanning hate and division!

@@melissahogan868 The question is, my dear, why is the violence which previously was not directed at Asians, is now suddenly directed at them?

America offered fertile ground for the violence against Asian Americans to surge. These crimes are rooted in widespread racism and a perspective that Asian Americans are "Other." This existed from way before the pandemic, and aggressions and microaggressions have abounded before and now. When growing up, I often heard comments like, "For an Asian, you're attractive" or "You speak English well," and now my daughters are hearing the same things - in the same city that’s deemed liberal. I witnessed an exercise for children - Images of many people of different races were displayed on a poster board. The kids were asked, "Who is American?" And the kids picked out all the Caucasians and a few Blacks. People of other races were left unchosen - including Asians. The answer was they are ALL American. People often will use the words Caucasian and American interchangeably. Person 1: "What did she look like?" Person 2: "American" (ie: Caucasian). Words we choose reflect what's going on in our minds. Until a critical mass of us acknowledge the implicit bias - or worse - that we all have, and do something about it, the hate crimes will continue. This requires the truth - that we are all Americans - to be impressed upon by Asians and people of all races. Enough of us need to speak up and stand together. Otherwise, these crimes will continue to grow in number.

@@kims368 When you have people of various groups in a community they behave in predictable patterns. If Asians were the majority and Caucasians were the minority, do you think things would be any different? Bias is something we all have in many forms. Racism is not the same thing as bias. Before you hop on the "woke" racism bandwagon, I think you would be making a big mistake. You shouldn't hold an entire race of people responsible for the actions of an ignorant few. Asians have made so much progress in the US, I would hate to see that progress diminish because of a recent trend that is very likely to go away very soon.

She's a beautiful lady and person.

Hyper-sexualizing Asians? You sick SOB. No means no!

I'm bitter as he'll and I'm not gonna take it anymore! Lol.

What racism are you referring to? She was a revered skater who made a crapload of money. You just LOVE talking about race. Everything equates to RACE. You are obsessed with RACE.

@@RLTtizME you didn’t hear her say that her mom was born in a US built internment camp?

@@Momo_8k That was World War II...and the Japanese were killing us.

@@RLTtizME How many internment camps were there that incarcerated people of German descent? The number escapes me.

@A Z Real Don't be jealous !

She definitely looks like she's in her 40s, you definitely need an eye exam.

@@lupavo1738 hater , hater ,hater !!!

@Eric Graham your a sad person with sad thought processing...who is the race baiter? Sad person!!
