Thank you for posting this. I loved it. It made me laugh and it made me cry. I love people. There is only one race on earth - the human race. We are all family.

and grew up on Chinese food: yock, sausage and rice, etc.

That stuff was the best!!!

Live in Georgia now and can't find anything remotely close to it.

Thank you, Cat, for posting. 🙏

and the Southern accent is so unexpected. She is so right about the Chinese making a big contribution to America.

(there is something non-white people know about white people and that is how ignorant they can be - who taught you English!?!?)

and "Are you ornamental?"

Asian-Americans have been discriminated against for a long long time, but are very resilient.

From Japanese "internment" camps (really should be called concentration camps) to the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Asians are often considered perpetual foreigners no matter how long their families have been here. I have relatives with southern accents from Louisiana and Tennessee and North Florida and it blows people's minds to hear it.

STILL GOING STRONG!

An Asian minority was my experience growing up in SW BC. Even today, here in Victoria, you might go months without seeing a black face, so that's quite a difference to many American cities.

When my father looked at my Grade 1 class picture, he noticed a Chinese-Canadian classmate (who I'm still in touch with today) and he thought it might be the first non-white child I'd ever encountered, (Vancouver, 1958) so he wanted to know my thoughts.

He said "I see there's a Chinese boy in your class," a statement I apparently found confusing, because my answer was "No one in my class speaks Chinese."

The part in the video about the little grocery stores certainly rang a bell with me. When I was a kid - even into highschool - little corner grocery stores were known as "Chinese stores." In fact, that's how that friend's family made their living. His father and uncle both ran stores in downtown Vancouver, and ended up owning the side of the block that housed their store.

I'd estimate that that one side of the block they owned would be around $100M today.

From roughly 15,000 years ago to today. Of course some of the individuals from any of the immigrant groups may not be the cream of the crop, i.e. the magats.

There probably have always been members of all society's in earth's history that did not treat others with respect.

The earliest example (if you are a christian believer) is Cain, the eldest son of Adam and Eve. And it was no small deal as he may have wiped out 25% of the world's population (I have not researched their family tree to see if they had other offspring before his seminal act).

Really enjoyed this
