LoL. Found you guys from reddit and reviewing the peking duck place. Congrats on the engagement. We're AMWF, she's Irish/Scottish Canadian and married since 2001. If you're thinking about kids, be thankful you didn't have them when Jon & Kate plus their 8 were on TV. Dating within your own culture back in the early 90s, my experience as a CBC, there was a lot of cultural identity issues. I wasn't or I was too Chinese for them. HK or mainlanders were in their own cultural clique.
Thanks for the well wishes! And yes - times have definitely changed. As we mentioned in the video, definitely very grateful to be living in Canada in such an open multicultural environment.
To be fair, I think you are seeing a lot more Russian and Chinese couples simply due to the geographic proximity of both regions. But yeah, you will often see interracial couples on the streets if you live in a city like Toronto because it's so ethnically diverse. Don't think you can completely generalize that to everywhere in Canada because most of the small towns tend to be 90+% Caucasian.
The part where you guys distinguished that in a AMWF, the WF or White partner in general will be used to explicit communications which are more direct eg in the form of words for instance and that the AM, or Asian partner in general will be used to having communication dynamics involving just reading into a person's general actions, physical actions, body language and aura which can express multiple things at the same time without a single word being said. Kudos on articulating that! I'm a 32AM CBC (Canadian Born Chinese, also from Toronto) and "personality wise the way I articulate is rather quote unquote "white" without connotation, and culturally I'm inspired by all cultures. So from my perspective, it's great to see a AMWF like yourselves articulating your dynamic and identity to the world! Peace and love, Will
I am also in a AMWF relationship, we traveled to Russia and other European countries, plus several Asian countries. The only country where we got stared at was China. But I guess they just stared at my GF instead of us lol
Haha, I'm in a AMWF marriage, we visited China in 2016 and *we* got stared at a lot in the city. Whereas my wife got stared at in the country sides a lot. I think they were trying to figure out what kind of Asian I am in Beijing and why I spoke English only, and of course white girl is gonna get stared at and have her photo taken by people who don't see white folks a lot haha.
Funny enough, Liza and I went to the Great Wall one day and Tiananmen Square the next day. There were tourists that recognized us from both days. It's crazy since China has so many people. I guess she really stands out.
What I’ve found is because of the Russian war most Russians love Chinese people. I actually have visited Russia many many times. And I don’t find they are racist at all. Maybe with other nationalities. But Russian girls love Asian men And more so now with the war going on. We have this running joke with my wife’s family where I claim our daughter is Chinese and they would say “nyet! Ona russki!” Probably helps I also speak Russian.
I am Taiwanese and my Russian ex-girlfriend's was from uzbekistan but immigrated to Israel and now moved here to Canada. They treated me like shit and very racist people. I was shocked when they told me that Canada should keep it white. There are definitely nice Russians out there but most of the Russians I met are not as open-minded. Will is a lucky guy
Dear all, at the end of the day. Irregardless of race, all want to meet suitable and loving partner. Learn to Love, give and take, work hard in the relationship.❤❤
Is this a big thing in Canada? So many Asian and white couples here in Australia. I’m Chinese Australian. My first wife was Persian My current wife is also Russian. No one bats an eyelid at “interracial” couples here Both of my daughters are super cute. Mixed race babies usually are.
There's only one race -- the human race. Our various looks, builds and skin tones are a result of generations of varying degree of 'mixing' and 'sticking to one clan' amongst our various tribes. Whether one realises it or not, we ALL marry our distant cousins!
I know you grew up in "Russian Culture", but you guys aren't really an "international couple". You both speak English natively, so you guys will never get lost in translation like a true International couple. You guys seem more outwardly Canadian than Chinese or Russian. Sorry just being truthful.
So Liza was Kazakhstan Born Russian ?? I'm also surprise that Russians of USSR generation is more racist because I heard that USSR is more racially tolerance than racially segregated USA.
I was born in Novosibirsk, Russia, but my family moved around a lot when I was younger. We spent a number of years in Almaty, Kazakhstan. I have never lived in the States, so can't really comment on racial tolerance and intolerance there. -Liza
@@WillandLiza I see Yeah Kazakhstan is very interesting country hop I can visit there one day :) . what I read about USSR is that during a cold war Soviet use American racial segregation policy as propaganda to spread communism to newly independent countries in Asia and Africa and actively support the civil right movement any way Thank you so much for giving me information about your childhood Liza Thanks a lot :)
@@WillandLiza Just found your channel from your recent post on Reddit, I remember that we were studying at the same school for a while back in Kazakhstan. I think I knew your brother though
I love Liza's brutal honesty about Russian racism. Gonna come back and watch more now.
ha! thanks! that's my personality in general. For the most part... -Liza
Will is one lucky dude! I wish you guys all the best🍻
As always it's great fun watching you guys, keep it up!
Cute couple, both of you radiate posivity! keep it up
Thank you!! 😊

Will and Liza said that they received lots of stares in Russia, because amwf is rare over there.

Such a fun video! Although I cringe every time you say "AMWF couple" 🤣🤣

nice
俄罗斯的啊
其实中国社会对恋爱的态度也和俄国人一样保守，你去西方时间真的太长啦
are there many amwf in canada? in usa i mostly see wmaf
There are quite a few - definitely. All kinds of inter-racial couples are common though, because Canada is so multicultural
请问will 你的口语是怎么练习的呢
through a lot of speaking and practice! I came to Canada when I was 10 and was in a western environment. that definitely helped a lot
@@WillandLiza Thx a lot
