You are so pretty and I would’ve never been able to guess your ethnic background which is rly interesting cuz I feel like with most people it is kind of easy to guess their background. Also interesting that your family is very mixed.
It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on being mixed and if your heritage has a big impact on your identity. I'm Greek Nigerian and but grew up in London and it's funny since I don't feel Greek or Nigerian (as far as culture goes) so it would be interesting to hear your take. And great video!
Love this comment! Wow you have such a unique mix, my weird take on my identity is that since I am Malaysian I grew up indulged with Indian and Chinese cultures as well, as those are the most prominent cultures in Malaysia and so did my family. I will be honest, sometimes I forget that I am Malaysia and that I should appreciate my background more, sometimes I feel like I spiral down Indian traditions more than my own, but I remind myself that all cultures are beautiful and we should appreciate every one of them, but to never forget where I am from. Growing up in Australia I missed out on a lot of cultural celebrations and family traditions, which may have impacted my identity, but as I am growing up, I am trying to educate myself more and include myself in these gatherings to rebuild my identity. I'm not sure if I am going off topic but I am sure you understand my rambling. Thank you so much for your kind words!
@@afiedited Had no idea that Indian and Chinese cultures were prevalent in Malaysia, that's really cool! And I definitely can relate to missing out on certain cultural traditions growing up. I and my brother were speaking about how it would be nice to one day immerse ourselves in our parents culture more since yeah you can't really escape the fact that you're from where you're from so might as well make the most of it I guess? Definitely on the back burner for now but one day I think it'll have to happen. Well good luck on your cultural journey / exploration! And if you ever get to a point where you feel like you've had a chance to reimmerse yourself in those traditions, it would be fun to see a video on your experince!
