    It’s always good to see Asian representation in sports. But if the mixed athletes don’t have distinctive asian features - they’re only going to be seen as the color of their skin. And most of the time, that’s the case and the asian part of them is dismissed.

      Not only that, but because their Asian side is mostly from the mother side, their last name isn't Asian neither, so it's really hard to know that they are even half Asian at times. I literally just found out that Jalen Green is half Asian from this video and I'm pretty big into the NBA

Jordan Norwood's brother Gabe plays professional basketball in the Philippines. Nikko Remigio has good stats for Fresno State so he might go on to NFL too. Doug Baldwin just retired in 2022 from Seatle Seahawks as a WR he is also half Pinoy. As for NBA..Ron Harper Jr also plays for Toronto Raptors. His mom is Filipina too.

  • @goodbad-boy
    @goodbad-boy Před rokem +111

    The reason why Asians struggle at getting into the big leagues of American sports is because they are constantly overlooked by scouts due to their race. This also happens at high school and college sports where Asian athletes, if they get picked at all, are left on the bench even if they might be better than the other players. I've personally experienced it myself and seen it happen to my Asian friends at other schools.
    When you're being penalized for your race, it's only natural that Asian Americans eventually stop trying. And then people start wondering if Asians are unathletic and bad at sports

    You guys make a good point especially why you specifically chose contact sports and bringing up how genetics play it’s part. You can have a really good athlete in non-contact sport who is pure Korean, or Japanese, or Filipino but when it comes to contact sport like NFL, genetics will play it’s part as these type of sport would create advantages for people who have a bigger bone structure genetically.

    The full Asians Americans that want to have a chance to be part of the professional sporting landscape in the USA need to get into sports that requires different type of physical capabilities and talent. The two types of sports are baseball and soccer. IMO, soccer and baseball should be the sports that full Asian, born and raised, should be investing and spending their time with.

    I know this isn't the main sports discussed in the video, but Chloe Kim as well. Her dad revolved her childhood around making her successful. I think sometimes Asian parents don't prioritize sports as much so even if genetically/athletically a full asian is capable, they don't get the development opportunities to be competitive and make it pro. I noticed a good number of professional players have been playing the game since they were kids (so they honed their skills over a long period of time).
    From my prospective, if good enough to make it college athletics but not in the pros, still its a free education to develop a career with. So its not quite a bad thing.

    I’m happy you two talked about Jaylin Williams from OKC as when I saw him play against the Warriors I’m saying this guy has to be part Asian and sure enough he is. Don’t forget Naomi Osaka who’s a great professional woman tennis player.

    I'm mixed, I'm definitely physically different. Most mixed people come out more like one side or the other, but there are some real inbetweeners. All these guys you featured are inbetween. I could have gone the boxing route and been a heavyweight half Filipino but my parents wanted me purely on the academics. I don't know if we'll ever see a heavyweight full-blooded Asian boxer. Don't feature Bautista's fight, please, hahahaha!

      @@joelparas2508 Oh, I've seen him before. He's half Pinoy, like me. Another inbetweener. I even look similar to him since our Dad's are Pinoy. Kids come out different when the father is the Filipino. Vera is tall, huh? I'm the same weight but only 5'10". I've got the stocky Tyson build. I wish I had pursued martial arts, I coulda been a contenda!

    Ice hockey is very expensive in terms of equipment cost, registration fees and time commitments for parents. From skate replacement, regular sharpening costs and $200 hockey sticks the $$$ needed to play precludes many from joining the organized sport from a young age.

    Tons of Polynesian/Pacific Islanders in football! But I'll argue that Baseball even though is "non-contact" in relation to Football, Basketball, and Hockey there still is a level of physical talent that is necessary in order to make it to the highest level whether that be arm strength, speed, or power (when batting). It's really hard for someone who is under say 5'8 to generate alot of power whether pitching or hitting so the players who are are around that height are usually speed/finesse players

    they are where they are its because they are very good at what they do and they worked hard for it, full support of family friends and love ones is a bonus, maybe they got good genetics because of them being mixed maybe they don't but before they got there, we all don't know the blood sweat and tears, the sacrifices they have done to be up there.

    You gentlemen probably want to read up on the negritos, Papua New Guinea people and australoids within the continent of Asia and the pacific island region plus Indonesian people who are not mixed with Chinese or European and how they look (a good portion of the Asian population descend from the people mentioned in the first few sentences according to some research). People with curled hair, dark skin and so on. It's interesting how much people don't know about their own history (Negro Island in the Philippines).
