    Evelyn has such a healthy way of thinking about differing opinions. It's not a disagreement, we're just discussing our different life experiences and no one is right or wrong 👏🏽👍🏽 It's also really hard to do I must say...to share with someone a different perspective and not feel the need to convince them. It isn't an MCQ question with just one right answer.

      Evelyn is constantly dismissive of Nigel’s views. She implies he has a simplistic view of things and he doesn’t have the level of empathy that she has. Why the sense of victimhood when it’s her view that gets dismissed?
      Just because he pointed out her experience was common and she added no new insight? It’s true. She didn’t.
      As an aside, I don’t think being Chinese in a white community is the source of Evelyn’s insecurity and unresolved issues. Many of us in the Chinese diaspora have a whale of a time being half and half (see Fresh off the Boat and all the actors in that - comfortably Asian American). She has more in common with people growing up bullied, overweight and unattractive in the western world. They’re the people you often see who have lasting trauma and self-esteem issues.

    I grew up in Asia and yeah there are a lot of perks of growing up immersed (drowning actually) in Asian culture. I think that the most challenging thing for Asians who grow up in Asia is that if they have a different way of thinking and realize how people are so ingrained with norms that they don't even realize that some of them believe in stereotypes so much. It's actually a big problem here in PH like how there are many people who dislike Chinese, think white guys who visit Cebu and Pampanga are indecent, and guys who drive a Civic is a fuck boy.

      Myself born and raised in the US (I come from a Mexican family), I do realize my life would be different had I been born in Mexico. However, I am glad I was born in the US, for if I hadn't, I perhaps wouldn't be the same person I am today. I've also always liked the fact there is so much cultural diversity here, that I wonder if I would or wouldn't have been introduced so much to other cultures (like Chinese and east asian cultures) as I did here in the US.

  • @trustno1s
    @trustno1s Před 3 lety +2

    It´s very different how you look at things when you´re a single cultured person than a multicultural one... I was born in Argentina and raised in between a clash of two cultures and sincerely I disagree with Nigel saying you never feel you belong... It is different when you moved some place else once you've grown instead of having been born there... And you don't loose contact with your original culture... That highly depends on how your parents decide to raise you and instruct you... I totally agree with Evelyn on this take... Growing up I also felt like a paria, and was not infused by my parents with that asian proud that I feel now... I wish I had been but the way I see it is that it was precisely that lack of proudness and misunderstanding of my own culture that made me appreciate it more now and made me be so proud of my roots now...

    Did anyone notice Nigel's voice drop real low around 24:50? I wonder if Nigel has worked to speak in a higher register over the years and naturally had a lower voice. In my opinion (as a black woman), my voice was lower and full so whenever I spoke from age 13 and up especially on the phone it sounded suggestive to other people. So by age 16 when I was looking for a job I had been working on speaking in a higher register than my natural voice so I could be taken seriously.
