Join Melissa and Isabelle as they sit down with James Lau - musically known as Kai Wei - a Chinese-Malaysian hip-hop artist and creative force from Manchester.
They explore how Kai Wei's upbringing as a Chinese-Malaysian man in Britain has shaped his artistry, being the only Asian production staff on movie sets, how Northern accents create more unique rhyme schemes, and how it feels seeing the Asian male as desirable thanks to the turning tides of pop culture.
They touch on cultural appropriation within music and film, including THAT Bruce Lee scene from ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’, and debate whether Childish Gambino’s obsession with Asian and Filipina women is problematic or not. Ja...

    Why should the company spend money on "inclusion and diversity" when they really should be increasing the salaries for ALL workers that have been stagnating for decades? We need to think about ALL wage earners, not spend time with bogus inclusion seminars or whatever.

    • @cascharles3838
      @cascharles3838 3 дня назад

      Why can't you do both? Improve wages for all (which I 100% agree with), whilst also providing education and safeguards to prevent workplace discrimination, which is still very real to this day.

      @@cascharles3838 Because pitting wage earners against each other is actively enforcing the structural disadvantage that exists in the workplace. It divides people by race and gender, even though every wage earner is oppressed, no matter the color. So telling the white wage earners that they need to stop being oppressive is completely forgetting about the true struggle. The struggle against capital. Racial and gender optics, such things that the american liberals enjoy focusing on, is nothing more than people in their ivory towers doing self-care. It makes them think they're actually doing a difference; but they're not.

      @@KurtGodel-po3zl oh mannnn you're one of those. Pretending that there aren't different dynamics to oppression, that people don't face oppression based on identity, is ridiculous. It's literally closing your eyes and plugging your ears in the face of blatant fact. If there's division within the working classes due to identity, that is because of the identity based discrimination, not because of the people who point it out. Don't deny that race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality are all things that effect a person's social standing. If you genuinely believe that, pick up a book, I beg of you.

    My first language is English and I currently live in an English speaking country. I work with a lot of visa workers mostly from Asia. They are absolutely wonderful people even though it’s hard to communicate sometimes because not all of them are fluent in English. I was speaking to a native and he asked me where I’m from since I said some words different. I told him which explained why I spoke a different dialect than him. He said that at least I’m one of the good visa workers because I can speak English. I was shocked because I never heard anything like that back in my country. It wasn’t even a race thing because they complained about some French visa workers and not the Mexican visa worker who grew up in my country speaking Spanish and English from a young age. As long as you speak English clearly they like you but if you are learning English they hate you. There’s a man from China I met who is amazing at speaking English and he is looked upon more favorably then the other men and women from china that he translates for. Yes it’s sometimes hard to communicate but I was surprised by the open hatred of people who done speak fluent English. I’ve never been around racism or sexism before in my life. I am lucky to come from a good community. I’ve seen it online but it always looked staged to me. I’m just glad that they only say stuff like that to native English speakers so the others don’t have to hear it. Also the Mexican from my country has heard the same comments and was also shocked and bewildered.

    Wow, so much to unpack with this multi-layered conversation. Hats off to you ladies for exploring these topics. I don't normally watch videos of this length all the way through but the dialogue was so rich, nuanced, and refreshing. I am a black American male and I hate to show my ignorance but I had no idea Filipinas experienced such social traumas when navigating a predominately white male society. Thanks a million for having the courage to share!

    "Don't talk back to your elders" this applies especially when they're in the wrong. I grew up with this for all of my life and try opening that dialogue with my parents at 30 years old. It's still hard but being the "obedient child" challenged me to really trust in myself and my judgement for doing what's best for me. I may have been seen as a very rebellious American child to my parents, but in reality, I really needed to discover myself in this world that they placed me in. These conversations really help push the community to move forward in terms of how we can show ourselves off as the amazing people we already are.

    Much love from California! It's really interesting seeing how Filipinos are from across the pond. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area there are so many Filipino groups all around but the common denominator was that if you were born and raised in The Bay you were first identified by what city you were from more than your ethnicity. As I went to college that's when I started being singled out as a "Filipino" in a predominantly white school. But rather than feeling lonely in that sense, I just reached out to other Filipino communities in my neighborhood to feel right at home. I guess you can say I got lucky but it really has taught me that community is what really helped me learn to be comfortable in my own skin no matter where I was at. So seeing stuff like this is always endearing because I love seeing more Filipinos from around the world taking initiative into putting themselves out there.

      What's good from London, JP! We LOVE hearing your story and getting the hot take on Filipinos over there in California! The experience of growing up surrounded by our own community is something we didn't get to experience, but it's interesting that we all started to have similar feelings of otherness at school/college when we began to notice how much of a minority we were. Being comfortable in our own skin, and having a solid community to back us up, is everything. We appreciate you watching, supporting, and sharing! Kabayan 🇵🇭💛
