Hey everyone! I'm Dolly Li, the host of this video with Bruce Wang. Thanks for taking the time to watch and I'm curious to hear all of your questions so feel free to drop them below 👇
Does he plan on having a family in Texas? and if he does how would he like to raise his children?, with an American identity and culture or a Chinese one. Also how have you noticed other Chinese immigrants in texas raising their children in terms of identity and culture?
Bruce Rocks. I am the Iranian cowboy and horse trainer. I totally understand this guy. It takes courage to be Chinese and to make it in that environment as an outsider cowboy where racism exists profoundly.
the West Texas accent of this guy's area isn't even the same as the Louisiana and Georgia accents of Duck Dynasty and Jeff Foxworthy, so he wasn't even learning the right way to talk
@@NNichols10 you make two great points. I used to live in a wacko tropical country. The countryside was _so_ beautiful. The little mountain towns were _so_ picturesque. Yet I practically kissed the ground when I landed in Miami. Until then I didn't realize how tense I'd been, wondering whether left-wing radials, right-wing radicals, or the government was going to do me in first. Laredo may look like crap but it feels like paradise compared to that.
I like how everyone is suggesting that his lifestyle choice is so that he could avoid racism, discrimination bla bla when my man genuinely just wants to be a cowboy
Ryan Armstrong you don’t have to be born in the south to become a southerner. You can adapt to it. As long as southerners accept him, then that’s all that matters
I accept!!! And I’m open for more people to do what he’s doing if they are happy with it! It gives me hope that we are not all racist like the media says!
Nothing wrong with picking up cultures and accents of where you choose to live. That's a pretty normal phenomenon. Just hope people leave him alone and not discriminate against him.
He pulled a reverse weeb. Asian imitating americans lol Edit: I just wanna say I meant no disrespect towards him, he seems like a rlly chill & cool dude & like a great American!
My family and I are so thankful to be out of that God awful town and state Texas is OVERATED it is and ugly place full of arrogant fools Tennessee and the Carolinas and Our home state New York and Georgia and Arkansas are full of wonderful people and food and culture and truly beautiful landscape the true Dixie
While he doesn't quite sound Texan, he does a respectable generic Southern. Too many non-Southern native English speakers tend to over emphasize the accent to a painful degree. Great job!

margaret928 your comment is perfect. We have no control over our passions and feelings that drive us, down to the core. I’ve always been deeply fascinated in Japanese historical culture since I was a kid and here I am 15 years later. 21 years old, martial artist, kickboxing trainer, and still studying Japanese language and history. The funny part is I’ve never watched an anime for more than 2 episodes my whole life but I still get jokingly called a Weeb 😂😂 anyways I digress, thanks for your comment. It’s a refreshing mindset my friend. It’s about the respect, true interest, and passion behind it all
I agree with you but, I think what rubs some people the wrong way is the cultural appropriation without appreciation (a phrase that gets tossed out there when discussing this topic). It's one thing to adopt, immerse, or study a culture, like the cowboy way. This man has gone as far as working on a cattle ranch. It'd be another thing to put on a cowboy hat and run around yelling yee haw and claiming to be a cowboy. Again I agree with you, but I also get why some people get offended in some cases.
i've been trying to figure out what this guy reminds me of....but jusssstt couldn't make sense of it. Then I knew if i scrolled down to the comments, it would be spot on hahahaahhah
@Odell Mateo We get it man, you have social anxiety and you have pent up stress so you choose to come on social platforms where your identity is preserve and you can say what you want with no consequences. But I can guarantee you that doing this, projecting hate speech just to get the attention you never got from when you were a child, that will serve old. Heal your inner trauma and stop perpetuating the same energy that someone so deeply hurt you with. You're misunderstood and you'll probably make fun of me with a reply, but just take it from someone who experienced it, just grow man. the world changes one person at a time, and that can start with you not saying hate speech.
4:20 she asked him “ Do you miss China?” my tears start rolling around my eyes as it goes he start tearing. Her question contracting his response towards he stated that he has not encountered racism however down deep he is giving lots of patience, tolerance and understanding to love this foreign land. I know well. Good guy.
he probably experienced alot of Murder, Starvation, Famine, and Brutality during the Mao Zadong Cultural Revolution with his parents growing up there in China you know...
@@tenylewis2755 in his age he has no encountering Mao’s regime nor culture revolution but Deng’s when China starts practicing free economic and creating the greatest ever prosperity. People from outside of US influenced by Hollywood films having big dreams about America. And yet when they come to US mostly experienced narrow minded and uneducated racists.
wHY DONT YOU GO BACK TO CHINA THEN DEBRA IF ITS SO RAAACIST IN AMERICA? FUKING PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE ME LAUGH LOL AND YEAH I WAS TALKING ABOUT HIS PARENTS AND HISTORY OBVIOUSLY HE DIDNT GROW UP IN MAO'S TIME LOL... 😃
@@tenylewis2755 people like you are the reason Chinese emigrants expectations aren't met when they come here. you're the worst type of person and i hope one day you change
I am Native American AND a Texan. He sounds like a stereotypical southerner to me XD but it is kinda accurate. He just doesn't sound fully Texan,,, yet. But I will say I would have thought he was american or at least living in the USA for a while. He don't sound Native American to me though.
He still misses his motherland his family and his relatives, when he gets asked about his past and when he talks about it, at the end he kinda gets tears. It's hard to adjust, I came from another country 2 and I love living in CT but I still do miss the old days no matter how much satisfaction I'm getting CT. What humble dude.
I am a Japanese man who used to live in Texas and speak with a Southern accent. Now I'm back in Japan, don't speak like a Texan no more, but I sure miss the accent.
Cultural appropriation only becomes negative when it’s a “stronger culture” (eg. Europeans) incorrectly practicing the customs of a weaker and closed cultural practice in order to exoticize and subjugate them.
Exactly, he's living the American dream! (And before anyone his and tells me there ain't one, I'm an immigrant who moved here just like him an am living it. Just because when I walk through the doors I don't get handed a wad of cash doesn't mean I'm not living the dream)
@everything everything no it's not! If it was such a bad place why would immigrants be coming here? I literally moved here as an immigrant and let me tell you it's so much better here then other places. Also, the US does allow you to express your own culture, but at the same time, you can't just reject every new thing "when in Rome"
@@NCXitlali well he used em to figure out the vowel sounds and what not, im sure his accent came more from just being around at his college talking to people
@Alfred E. Neuman my family is from Yorkshire, my aunt moved to London decades ago, now she sounds like she's always lived there. Accents come from people imitating each other to better understand each other, often you just subconsciously shift to sound more like people around you overtime. This guy seems to have consciously learned it, but it makes sense if he wants to speak with people in the south of america he'd learn to speak that kind of english
@@oOhydroOo Asking a question is not a hate or fool. I don't hate America. America is a beautiful land but there are some dumb and foolish people living there.
@@ayyImao-b4o yes, but American history permits this, look at black history.....which is technically American history but white people wouldn't consider that
A lot of Cowboys and other workers in the Real Old West (not the Hollywood stuff) were black (who escaped from the reconstruction south), and immigrants (especially of Chinese, Irish, and also Italians)! The Chinese and Irish immigrants played a big role in constructing the Transcontinental Railroad
@@banjoplayingbison2275 alot of the Chinese immigrants weren't even immigrants but uneducated Chinese men who were opium addicts trapped and enslaved by opium dens
There were Chinese people living during those times regardless. It tends to get glossed over. One of the major waves of immigration for Chinese (and of course other people) was during the gold rush. People even tend to forget that the Chinese helped make the railroads. Often being paid less and working the hardest jobs, as per usual for all marginalized immigrants. Heck, I'm a descendant of a gold rush Chinese.
No. I'm Chinese, his mandarin just sounds mandarin (he speaks very well). Same with Dolly the host, but she clearly sounds like American Chinese (which she is).
@@mikumikumiku hey nice to meet you. That's because he is from southern part of China. I'm from the south too, and I know how hard it is for southern people to speak good mandarin he does a pretty good job.
@Vida Cupcake European brainwash but Christianity came from the middle east? Just because bad people did bad stuff in the name of Christ(which was not right) shouldn’t mean you should deny it.
Yeah, I can catch that too from the beginning. I'm Chinese Indonesian and had a passion for Southern accent too, Hillbillies, New Orleans, Deep South you name it. But he's the one that dives in over there, gives him a decade more then he will be more Texan than anybody else.
As a Chinese who’s been living in the states for the past decade, I found his experience extremely relatable. When a person spends 1/3 of your life in a foreign country as a young adult who’s just started to shape his view of the world, it’s hard to just pack up and leave that memory behind. Meanwhile, you are living a different persona when you interact with folks from your native country.
laughing Hawk to be fair, Mongolian don’t act like cowboys either and their particular style of cattle wrangler is different than the cowboys style ( which is actually derived from the Spanish style)
@@frootube5662 I don't know the laws in China but in the US, in the past, cowboys typically didn't own their own land as they worked for ranchers. Many of them saved their money to buy land and become ranchers themselves. Most ranchers today still enjoy living the cowboy lifestyle.
Awesome to see this, seriously. As a Texan living abroad in Singapore, I can appreciate what it's like being transplanted to another culture across the world. Good for him for taking the time to learn and embrace the culture. I really hope people in the near future stop whining about how everything is cultural appropriation though. If there is something you like about another culture and decide to embrace or incorporate into your own life, as long as it's not a disrespectful stereotype or caricature, nobody should give you a hard time.
Singaporean been studying in US for 7 years now, and I appreciate the mixing of cultures, especially when people actually take time to learn and appreciate each other's culture!
@@قرآن_وسنة11 Yes, for example the last sentence, when he says 'on untold America' it sounds a tad unnatural. But otherwise he does a great job! I admire the dedication!
Absolutely! I learned Italian in college from a professor who was from Sicily. When I got to Italy, people there told me I spoke like a southerner. I said, "Well, I am a southerner, I'm from Virginia." They said "No, you speak like you are from the South of Italy." That's how I discovered that I spoke Italian with a Sicilian Accent! Go figure.
@@rhino5100 My mom is Filipino and I was raised in America. We have karaoke nights with my sister and she's gotten me to sing these songs in Tagalog. I sing it like a Filipino. I could probably speak Tagalog like a natural Filipino so I'm pretty proud of myself.
Which American? North or South American? Central American? North America has 3 countries. Embrace of US culture,but he embraces the Texan culture of living

What is American culture thought? The south is very different from the East or the west or the north. In each state I would say white Americans from Oregon are extremely different from people in Pennsylvania. How do we define what is "American". White guy in Tennessee will say guns while the white guy in Washington DC will say politics.
As a southerner, it is pretty astonishing to see how great his accent is. Of course, I can tell he isn’t actually a southerner and that the accent is put on; sometimes the Chinese-English accent creeps through in sentences. However, for the most part, it’s pretty spot on.
@@اللهأكبر-د3ل6ل It's not a Mexican company. If being made in Mexico makes it an Mexican thens is Volkswagen a Mexican company? Of course not. It's HQ is in the US, it has plants in the US (2 of them) plus the one in Mexico. GM, Ford, Nissan, etc. make cars in Mexico, doesn't mean they're Mexican companies.

AMERICA REALLY IS A CONTINENT, NOT A COUNTRY I do not understand the desire to appropriate the term "America", used by Spain to designate an entire continent. It was the German cartographer Martín Waldseemüller, who baptized the new discovered lands as one continent (not two, not a single country). In honor of Amerigo Vespucci, Italian-Spanish navigator, at the service of Spain. On Martin Waldseemüller's map, America appears as a "continent" where, in addition, for the first time, America appeared surrounded by water and perfectly differentiated from Asia, with Spanish flags and legends indicating that these lands had been discovered by mandatum regis Castelle . The great International Institutions confirm this. They want more arguments. The International Olympic Committee how many flags does it use? The International Olympic Committee has a flag with five rings, because each one embodies a continent, the five continents. The United Nations asked Salvador Dali for a logo in 1966 called ‘The 5 Continents’ because for this organization the world also - at least for then - had 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 continents. Not one less nor one more. AMERICA IS A CONTINENT, AND IT IS NOT A COUNTRY.
Constancio Rosellini Yes, I agree with you on that. But, like I said, some people from the United States of America like to use the term “America” for their country. You don’t have to agree with it, that’s just what they do. In the United States, people say “Americas” or “North and South America” to refer to the land masses that contain many countries above and below the USA. Again, you do not have to agree with that way of saying things, but it is just how most people from the USA say it.
I love the southern accent. Sadly, american pop culture shames people with it. This is what tolerance, respect, and integration really look like. Edit for the people who replied: For the guys that have had to hide their accents, that sucks. I've seen so many defenses of immigrants not even needing to speak English (!) as well as how Ebonics is not slang or accent but a language in itself, that it makes me genuinely upset that you guys are so casually discriminated against. The literati need to be more consistent and less self-hating. For the guys who think that this discrimination doesn't exist, you are wrong. Pop culture associates it with lack of education at least, racism and incest at worst. For everyone: Integrating (assimilating? Meh.) is necessary. When you move somewhere, you need to show respect. Learn the culture, participate, join the community. It doesn't have to be the accent, and there are different "requirements" everywhere. But if you watched this video thinking that an Asian man being respected as a cowboy was somehow oppressive or distasteful, you've been in a bubble for too long.
Many learn learn language, mostly for self. For this man to take the time and effort to learn not only English, but the regional flavor.... that's big respect. I think he deserves big respect in return.
So if he were to be himself, bringing back the original China accent along with acting like a touristy Asian instead of a cowboy with southern accent, the response will be different.
@@johnwig285 what does that mean? If you mean we would be racist to him that's only some idiots here, not all of us. Plus, he prolly gained his country accent over time in the US, so he prolly had a Chinese accent when he first came and we'll never know how he was treated until he says
@@johnwig285 Well he kind of is himself now and yeah if he would act like a plain Chinese guy the response would be different and rightfully so. There is something to be said about a guy who chose to embrace your culture rather than the one he was born into. That`s what immigrants should do when they come to the US. That`s what I want to do when I come to the US.
Bruce Wang, you’re a legend! I love that you stepped out if your comfort zone. So many international students, particularly from China, seem to have a poor experience in large part due to self isolation. You understand the American spirit and embody it! I hope you decide to stick around! 牛仔up!

As a southerner I think it’s cool that he’s doing what he loves. We need to put this dumb stigma of “cultural appropriation” to rest.
That’s a Democrat concept. No one outside Democratic Party circles even care about that.
Cultural appropriation only becomes negative when it’s a “stronger culture” (eg. Europeans) incorrectly practicing the customs of a weaker and closed cultural practice in order to exoticize and subjugate them.

A lot of Cowboys and other workers in the Real Old West (not the Hollywood stuff) were black (who escaped from the reconstruction south), and immigrants (especially of Chinese, Irish, and also Italians)!
The Chinese and Irish immigrants played a big role in constructing the Transcontinental Railroad
Well not cowboys but usually railroad workers
@@banjoplayingbison2275 alot of the Chinese immigrants weren't even immigrants but uneducated Chinese men who were opium addicts trapped and enslaved by opium dens
Little known fact, there were Chinese cowboys both in Canada and the US during the gold rush and early pioneer days
There were Chinese people living during those times regardless. It tends to get glossed over. One of the major waves of immigration for Chinese (and of course other people) was during the gold rush. People even tend to forget that the Chinese helped make the railroads. Often being paid less and working the hardest jobs, as per usual for all marginalized immigrants. Heck, I'm a descendant of a gold rush Chinese.
25% of the cowboys were African Americans. Chinese fought on both sides of the American civil war. The Mongolian Cowboy (singer) brought me here.
it is not unknown, they helped build the rail roads

As a Chinese who’s been living in the states for the past decade, I found his experience extremely relatable. When a person spends 1/3 of your life in a foreign country as a young adult who’s just started to shape his view of the world, it’s hard to just pack up and leave that memory behind. Meanwhile, you are living a different persona when you interact with folks from your native country.

@@laughinghawk8522 but in china can you own a large amount of land like most cowboys? Cowboys work for private ranches not the state.
@@frootube5662 I don't know the laws in China but in the US, in the past, cowboys typically didn't own their own land as they worked for ranchers. Many of them saved their money to buy land and become ranchers themselves. Most ranchers today still enjoy living the cowboy lifestyle.
Awesome to see this, seriously. As a Texan living abroad in Singapore, I can appreciate what it's like being transplanted to another culture across the world. Good for him for taking the time to learn and embrace the culture. I really hope people in the near future stop whining about how everything is cultural appropriation though. If there is something you like about another culture and decide to embrace or incorporate into your own life, as long as it's not a disrespectful stereotype or caricature, nobody should give you a hard time.

America is a Continent, not a Country
Constancio Rosellini what...
Constancio Rosellini True, but people from the United States of America usually call their country “America”.
AMERICA REALLY IS A CONTINENT, NOT A COUNTRY
I do not understand the desire to appropriate the term "America", used by Spain to designate an entire continent.
It was the German cartographer Martín Waldseemüller, who baptized the new discovered lands as one continent (not two, not a single country).
In honor of Amerigo Vespucci, Italian-Spanish navigator, at the service of Spain.
On Martin Waldseemüller's map, America appears as a "continent" where, in addition, for the first time, America appeared surrounded by water and perfectly differentiated from Asia, with Spanish flags and legends indicating that these lands had been discovered by mandatum regis Castelle .
The great International Institutions confirm this.
They want more arguments.
The International Olympic Committee how many flags does it use?
The International Olympic Committee has a flag with five rings, because each one embodies a continent, the five continents. The United Nations asked Salvador Dali for a logo in 1966 called ‘The 5 Continents’ because for this organization the world also - at least for then - had 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 continents.
Not one less nor one more.
AMERICA IS A CONTINENT, AND IT IS NOT A COUNTRY.
Constancio Rosellini Yes, I agree with you on that. But, like I said, some people from the United States of America like to use the term “America” for their country. You don’t have to agree with it, that’s just what they do. In the United States, people say “Americas” or “North and South America” to refer to the land masses that contain many countries above and below the USA. Again, you do not have to agree with that way of saying things, but it is just how most people from the USA say it.
I love the southern accent. Sadly, american pop culture shames people with it. This is what tolerance, respect, and integration really look like.
Edit for the people who replied:
For the guys that have had to hide their accents, that sucks. I've seen so many defenses of immigrants not even needing to speak English (!) as well as how Ebonics is not slang or accent but a language in itself, that it makes me genuinely upset that you guys are so casually discriminated against. The literati need to be more consistent and less self-hating.
For the guys who think that this discrimination doesn't exist, you are wrong. Pop culture associates it with lack of education at least, racism and incest at worst.
For everyone: Integrating (assimilating? Meh.) is necessary. When you move somewhere, you need to show respect. Learn the culture, participate, join the community. It doesn't have to be the accent, and there are different "requirements" everywhere. But if you watched this video thinking that an Asian man being respected as a cowboy was somehow oppressive or distasteful, you've been in a bubble for too long.
Technically thats not integration its assimilation
