@@kshinokevin 1974. I grew up in Downey California which I had two great friends Calvin Chung and Steve Kawasaki from 6th grade to 9th grade, we were the first multi cultured kids, I was Mexicano, Chinese and Japanese. My first puppy love was 8th grad Glenda Chung, we were a small family. We shared our food and culture. I practiced Judo and kendo and argue over taquito or egg roll.l. 1990. I meet more Korean brothers and 2000. Vietnamese and combodian brothers. To be honest, Bobby broke all stereo styles.. Downey California. Love it Love 💕
@@Californiansurfer - My first exposure to Bobby Lee and his brother, Steve (Steebee Weebee) was when they were both on "Mad TV." Steve was in a skit, I remembered when he was stuck in the trunk of a car. (Kegan-Michael) Key and (Jodran) Peele were there. Alex Bornestin ("Family Guy's" : the voice of Lois) as a middle-aged Asian woman, Ms Swan. Brilliantly done. I liked Debra Wilson, Will Sasso, Phil Lamarr, Mo Collins and Nicole Sullivan. Anjelah Johnson-Reyes, a Los Angeles comic, was Bon Qui-Qui, a fast food worker with an Blaccent (like Awkwafina). One of Anjelah's best comedy bits has to be the Vietnamese Nail Salon experience. They will give you a mani(cure), a pedi(cure) and then also, talk Ish behind your back.
Like at a shopping center close to my house, there is a hair salon ran by Vietnamese women. Just down the road from my house, there are 3 neighborhood stores: one ran by a couple of Filipinos (they sell fresh poke, balut eggs, lechon (Bakenet pork rinds), fresh seafood, bananas, raw meat (goat), kinda like an Hmart or 99 Ranch Market store; the other one was ran by a Vietnamese lady. the last one was ran by a Korean family; one time, this place got robbed (it got featured on the 10 O'Clock nightly news: a younger and bigger guy (along with an accomplice) was scaring the elderly shop owner/cashier with a weapon, in broad daylight. I thought that this place (a landmark or institution) was going to close down for good. (Back in the day, there used to be more Japanese, Hawaiians and other Polynesian groups: Samoans or Tongans) living here. It is a predominantly Filipino community (I call it "Little Manila"). Now, the newest group of immigrants, to come to my neighborhood (and another place called Waipahu) is the Micronesians and/or Marshallese, from the Marshall Islands. (America used like nuclear bomb tests in the 1960's and then, ruined their way of life.) Yeah..
the continuation of this Ese ("essay"): I think that if these 3 covenience stores were based within the (tri-state) East Coast area (New York, New Jersey, Boston, Philly), it just would be called a "Bodega," along with a signature (unofficial) mascot: it is usually a cat. (But, in the Asian stores, Chinese (take out) restaurants, and Asian-based (Vietnamese, Japanese (think geishas), Korean) hostess bars, there is the mandatory "Ancestor's Shrine/Spirit House," complete with burning incense sticks, a Lucky Cat (that waves its paws), a smiling (skinny; fat and bald) Buddha statue, with a plastic orange (from a fruit basket) and the ancestor's favorite drink of choice (soda, tea (bubble or boba, nowadays), or (Olympia or Primo) beer. It could also be a 40 (oz.) like; Steel Reserve, Keystone, Mickey's, Schlitz malt liquor, Old E (English), Hurricane, St. Ide's, or Colt 45 (Billy Dee Williams/Lando Calrissian from "Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back."). "This is One for (one of) my Dead Homies." (Then, you pour it out on their grave site (headstone).
55:37 this interesting that Hawaiians say and believe this because this is exactly what people say about immigrants, yet they are called xenophobic. Before you shit your pants, I am an immigrant myself, from Africa, but I think it’s important to point out hypocrisy when found
Well, I feel like it's different if you are the ethnic minority in your own homeland, and if you know our history, you would know even our language was illegal until 1972. This is an island, and so much of the money goes abroad, there's only so much resources. The biggest industries in order are; Military Industrial Complex, tourism, construction, and Organized Crime. Most of the big players in these arenas are foreign or Stateside, so the profits go abroad, not much stays here, let alone gets re-invested into the community.
