hi friends. i worked really hard on this video and it took a lot of mental energy to create, research, and relive my own racial experiences as an asian woman. i hope you take something away from it ❤️there are a lot of resources and links that i've included in my description box. ALSO, AS A WARNING:
as much as you are entitled to your opinion, this comment section is MY community and you are publicly commenting on it. i will NOT hesitate to block/delete anyone who is being disrespectful.
💗
Amazing 🥰❤️
Very true
💜
thank you for telling us your story amanda!!
Thank you for speaking about your experience, Amanda. It’s been so heartbreaking to watch the news and to hear how you’ve been treated throughout the pandemic and for your entire life. I feel like so many Canadians ignore our issues with racism and pretend we’re an idyllic multicultural society with no xenophobia or discrimination, which is just so far from the truth. I am horrified by the hatred being put on display by so many ignorant people but sadly I am not surprised. I hope the stationery community can come together and support Asian creators, businesses, and art forms. This video was so informative and beautifully done and I so appreciate the emotional labour you put into creating it 🖤
Hi plant based bride
Even being an Indian I do totally understand all the hatred and discrimination but lil doodles and the entire stationary community will surely come together for support
Beautifully said ❤️
You said this perfectly and I agree completely. I am a white American and we also have a lot of work to do in stoping racism and hate. Thank you Amanda for the informative video
yes THIS! thanks elizabeth ❤️❤️
@@amandarachlee hiii
Thank you so much for sharing your story, Amanda. I am sure it was difficult and possibly scary to open up to us this way but your story is important and I am really honored that you chose to do this voiceover for us.
thank you so much kelli!
As an Black Jamaican American woman I relate with this video on so many levels. Black people face the same struggle with racism. It’s an everyday struggle that so mental draining. Thanks for using your platform to bring awareness. I stand with you Amanda. ✊🏾
And we stand with our black sisters and brothers ✊✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽
I'm Indian and I have also occasionally felt like I don't belong. Love you. Hope the situation gets better
Your genetic mix is so cool!!! Black is beautiful. Jamaican is beautiful. Indian is beautiful. American is beautiful. All skin colours are beautiful and it's always the inner beauty that shines through
As a Jamaican-Chinese lady at the start of the pandemic, I went to Walmart to pick up medication and they called my last name. Which is very Chinese. A man yelled that I go back to China, then he notice I was brown and he was just so confused. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
as much of a jerk thing to do that was, it is also extremely funny.
Even tho that is rude and disrespectful, it’s also so funny 😂
I was reading this all emotional then I laughed at the end 😂😂 but in all seriousness Im sorry you had to go through that. you're so strong ♡
that was rude and really disrespectful but also,, really funny 😂
So sorry that happened to you
Thank you for all that you do for the Asian community and for using your platform for anti-racism ❤️
thank YOU as well sarica!! always appreciate you & your work too ❤️🙏🏻
Sarica! I love ur spreads a lot and I personally get inspos from you. Agreed, people need to stop hate crimes on China. They aren’t doing anything but embarrassing themselves
Yess say it louder for the ppl in the back 😫😫😩 thank u for sharing ur experiences too 🥺ily💗
LUV U 🥺💖
I’m a second generation Chinese-Dutch girl, and I used to think it’s normal, the jokes insulting China and my culture, looking at me weird when I go to the Asian supermarket near my school, the questions I get asked when people meet me. You really opened my eyes, making me realise that’s not what people are supposed to go to, so thank you for doing this
Edit: I remembered something I wanted to say. I’m in the middle of choosing my future career path, and when I told the teacher I wanted to study science, and work in the medical world, he asked if that’s what I wanted, or what my parents wanted. It just seemed as a legitimate question, but asking my friends I found out it was only asked to me, my Asians friends that didn’t choose science didn’t get asked that question, and other people didn’t either. It was a question that wasn’t that bad at first, but later I realise it came from stereotypes about Asian parents. Yeah. That’s what I wanted to say I think
Honestly I think this is a question everybody should be asking themselves: is this what I want or am I Just fulfilling someone else expectation? Yes I know is not what you meant, I Just think that in no country, in no culture, in no family There is no prejudice al all
As a Muslim and an Asian, I can totally relate to what you went and even more. Sinophobia and Islamophobia are what I deal with every day, due to my mum being a Russian and my dad being an Indian, I've been called a terrorist and Arab and a whole lot of things. I honestly never understand this hate that people have for people. and I have to mention I love you and you spreads. keep going.
I am so sorry this is happening to you and any Muslim, or Asian or any person because of their "race". It is so wrong! I do not understand this kind of hate either.
I have genuinely never understood why people believe that everyone in islamic attire is "a terrorist"!? Like underneath ANY kind of clothing is a human and EVERYONE deserves an equal amount of respect. People come along with such absurd preconceived notions about anyone who is different from themselves and refuse to even try to build a relationship! No religion is a cult, they are all belief systems each with beautiful traditions and customs!
I am also a Muslim and asian yes and I can totally relate to those things truely we should not be treated like this and hopefully u guys doing well and staying healthy and hope fully we are out of it soon we just have to pray and hopefully it all will be good
Same and it’s even harder wearing hijab may god protect everyone on earth and make it a better place
@@atiyaasif8808 I'm Muslim and Asian too, and I agree with u very much.
Being a 14-year-old 3rd generation Filipino-Chinese, Amanda saying this really helps me because I suffered also from an identity crisis.
Even though I’m only 12, she really does help. Seeing one of my favourites talk about this is really something. I do not live in America, but racism is real and hearing others stories and hearing their voices are very touching. Hopefully you dont have an identity crisis anymore (I dont really know anything about that, well i know what it is but sorry if that was rude) and that you are respected :))
Aw, I hope you feel better
@@quotest4r thanks 😊
@@dreamvelvet_edits thanks 😊

I’m not an Asian, my culture isn’t Asian. I was born America and so were my parents, but this is so sad. Amanda thank you for telling your story and spreading awareness! Your a hero to lots of people! Your the voice to people who are to afraid to speak up sometimes! This takes lots of courage
as a hispanic, it makes me sad to see my asian brothers and sisters suffering. I send all my love and support to you all ❤️
who else thinks amanda should start a podcast? I could listen to her talk for hours
yesss
Yes please
Yess it’ll be the besttt
Yes yea yes and yes
This is your channel. Don't apologize for sharing what is important to you. You don't need to protect the feelings of your audience. Share your story.
where I live, a rapist of an Asian woman was set free because “he didn’t have fun”. It’s so sad that this happens and the police does absolutely nothing.
HE WHAT???????
Absolutely disgusting
EXCUSE ME?
"Oh he didn't have fun so it doesn't really matter"
Wtf is wrong with police, they don't do anything at this point
I've lost faith in humanity
I'm a teen of color and when I imagrated to Canada I felt so so left out... I was bullied too. I got racist comments often saying "go back to your country" or "you aren't us!" These comments made me feel like I wanted to be white instead. Eventually I became friends with people of color and they told me that they felt the same sometimes. I've now started getting more connected to my culture instead and I fight back when I get racist comments. Ty so much for this video Amanda and addressing this problem I salute you!!🙂
I’m an older viewer and hearing your examples of micro aggressions was so helpful. I’m guilty and I apologize. I’m not going to write a long, drawn out guilt trip, because this isn’t about me., but I recognize this problem and my aim is to catch myself and change my process of “just trying to be funny”. Thank you for the bit of history, I learned a lot. Bless you Amanda.
It means a lot that you're willing to be honest and self reflective. I'd say, release the guilt so that you'll have more energy for the pivot.
This is so beautiful and rarely heard. All of us are guilty at some point for hurting others of a different race, no one is completely innocent in this. Sometimes when we are hurt by others, we can't see how we have hurt someone else in a similar way. Thank you for sharing this.
The music and aesthetics so beautiful 🥺 thank you for bringing more awareness and speaking about your experiences Amanda 💘💘💘
ahhh thank you nami! 🥺❤️
Wow you hit so many points! Thank you for your honesty and using your platform to discuss these very important issues. As a black Brit, I can relate so much and I learned a lot from this video. I hope we can all come together to support Asian creators ❤️
I'm a British Indian and, I feel so lucky that my parents made sure I really connected to my Indian culture. I agree with you that its great that Amanda is using her amazing platform to discuss these things. Love your videos. please reply if you can, no pressure.
This is the most important video I’ve seen from the planner community. Very comprehensive, very well done. Took a lot of courage. I”m Japanese American and live in Hawai’i, so I didn’t face the same animosity that you have, at least not until I went to law school on the mainland. Pointing out how much the planner/stationary community owes to Asian culture was excellent. I hope you get to study Chinese and visit China. It’’s an amazing experience. And I hope you go with your parents and grandparents.
Watching you talk about your feelings while painting was so wholesome and being Asian who lives in Asia, I feel so lucky to still be alive and well and it makes me so emotional to see that Asians are being treated the way that they are. You are honestly so strong to open up about topics like this and I respect you for that....
im not an Asian, but seeing what has been happening to Asians has made me so mad. but yes i agree with you. it’s just sad that they have to live in fear of wondering “will i be next?”
@@alisaklinke3223 😔😔😔😔
As an Asian who experience this in Asia itself, I agree :')
As apart of the Asian community, it is so important to stress that these attacks have been happening for a long time, and people are just starting to bring awareness. People are attacking all Asians but especially our elders, which brings our community a lot of pain seeing that respecting elders are a big part of our culture. I love how you included Canada statistics, obviously since your Canadian, but also since many people assume that Canada doesn’t have racism. Thank you Amanda for speaking out about the Asian hate crimes. They can’t burn us all.
I don't know enough about Canada but I do know that many Chinese ( correct me if I'm wrong) buy apartments and homes in Canada. The homes sit and there are very few places to rent therefore the cost of rent sky rockets. It's not those Chinese families faults they wanted a home in Toronto ( correct me if I wrong) .? Its the Canadian Government that allows rent to be exorbitant. Maybe those of Asian decent are getting the brunt and anger of what the Canadian Government is doing or NOT doing.
we all have to thank Amanda for raising awareness for Asian racism. I personally had no idea and it just breaks my heart to know that our world is falling apart due to our culture and skin colour.
Being an Indian I’ve been treated badly and unfairly by people saying I don’t look Indian and just making me feel bad about myself because of that.
I’ve also been called a “cow-worshipper” and “snake charmer” which just makes me sad 😢that people judge me and my culture with no actual information about it.
Stay strong guys ♥️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤
@@sutlac2 oh, that is so sad🤧
Same. I live in india and I get called "curry" and get asked "do you s*** on the streets?" I'm sensitive and I get very offended even if they say it's a "joke".
I'm Indian too, and it makes me so sad to hear stories like this. Stay strong and rise above the hate. Show them that it is wrong . You go.
it’s that time of the month again everyone, time to bullet journal with Amanda 🥰
Yeah!!
woohoo yass!
I’m white, but many of my friends in high school were Asian because my town has a pretty high Asian population. Much of those friends and their families immigrated from China. It was really interesting to see the diversity among this group in of itself.
There was a lot of variation in their fluency in English (since they were from China, their first language is Chinese) and how they interacted with American culture. But it was also sad to see that the ones who were less fluent in English were less connected with other students or couldn’t get into the higher classes (like honors or AP) because they can’t keep up with the language, even if they’re smart enough to do the class. One kid in one of my classes would have a digital translator for when we took tests so he could actually take the test (which obviously meant he took longer).
Then there’s the name thing- taking up European names to fit in with the culture. Sometimes, it is a practical issue, like it being difficult to pronounce in some languages. Like one of my friends’ names was really hard to pronounce, no matter how much I tried, so I used her English name even when I used the Chinese names of my other friends (which she was very sweet about- I felt really bad about it). But that’s not the case most of the time- it’s just not wanting to use ethnic names. Most of my friends’ names were really easy to pronounce, but they weren’t European so it didn’t come naturally to people here in America.
People don’t like things that are different, so they try to avoid it. None of us are exempt, myself included, but we should all make the effort to embrace the different in our lives :)
Thank you for the beautiful discussion Amanda!
Thank you for trying to pronounce Chinese/Asian names (or every non-European names) really ❤️ Because it is so rare and it warms my heart to see people doing the effort to call us by our "real names"
The part that you said you didn’t show your face at first really made me sad. As an Iranian I really felt everything you said. My profession is art and the fact that western don’t count on Asian arts really sucks. I mean there are lots of countries with amazing art and art history such as Iran, India, China, Japan and more, and if you look at books about art history there’s just few pages about us. It’s only because they define art, and that definition is west art history. Anyway so glad you talked about this. You are really inspiring. Keep going. ✨
I come from the midle of Europe and I haven't heard about this shooting in Atlanta and I was shocked. I never thought, that to have a diferent colour is something wrong. When I was small, my best friends were Japanese and Spanish and now i have two classmades, who are Vietnamese and I find it totaly normal. Honestly, I never thought abot your nationality until now. It was just you, makin these inspireing bulletjournal videos. I wish you all strenght you will ever need :)
This video was amazing and it opened my eyes
OMG ITS BAMBOO THEMED! you really bamboozled us with that hint on your story *pun intended*
haha
AMANDA NEVER FAILS TO IMPRESS US WITH HER CREATIVITY AND PRETTY SPREADS 🥺💗
I am a 15 year old Japanese and everyone in my family and relatives is Japanese born in Japan. From October 2016 to June 2020, I have lived in the United States (I live in Japan now). I was very fortunate to be able to attend race-wise diverse schools throughout the four years, and I was proud of my race and nationality until I realized that I was /only/ proud of the fact that I am Japanese and that I am bilingual. I am still figuring out what I can be proud of about myself and I do have a vague idea now, but at that time, it was crashing my mental health. It was like if I was anything else than Japanese, I wouldn’t be unique enough. Luckily, I was never faced with discrimination and actually had the best four years in my life, but I’d like to say thank you for voicing that Asians aren’t “one.” Even if we are all Asian, we are different and unique individuals.
i could actually cry every single time someone talks about this problem. just why does it have to be this way
The way she's just bullet journaling working on her set-up for April while talking about such a serious topic that has been going around and keeping us informed about it is amazing. Thank you Amanda for always trying to keep us aware 💖
I cannot even say how much this story is relatable. I was born in America but my parents were from India. I felt like I wasn't excepted by either side even though I got it to touch with both cultures. It's really hard to feel where you belong. Especially if you have parents or grandparents who immigrated from other countries. Also, this month's theme is absolutely stunning and I love it because my birthday is in April.
Thank you for so eloquently describing your experience. You were able to explain what it's like growing up Asian in a non-Asian community better than I ever could. I appreciate your openness and readiness to use your platform to speak out for the Asian community! Sending lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for speaking about your own experiences and using your platform to bring attention to the issue. I’m not Asian, I’m Navajo, but still relate to a lot of what you talked about. Solidarity, sister.
tysm for raising awareness, amanda. i am asian as well and my mom is an essential worker at a hospital. she takes the subway to work everyday, but she doesn't sleep anymore like she used to because she is scared that something will happen to her. our grandparents don't go outside anymore either, because they live in a very asian community that has been attacked. our family is lucky to be okay right now though, but sending love to anyone else who is strugging 💕
Aw, I am so sorry, I appreciate doctors and essential workers like your mom. I understand. Sending hope and love 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

even though i am not a Chinese or Korean but i am still an Asian...listening to you just broke my heart! and using Asians as a scapegoat to hurt even black Americans... this society--- i and all of us support you and will contribute as much as we all can!
Amanda I am so sad. I'm so sorry to hear of your pain. I'm west asian and have been a victim of anti asian violence. I am here for you, friend. Thank you so much for your content, I love your stuff.
Wow. Amanda, this video spoke to me. My mother was born in Korea but was married to a white American man. Growing up I never saw myself as asian. Not until someone pointed it out. And I so desperately wanted to be accepted by others that if they made jokes I would just laugh with them. But looking back it’s just so sad to even think about. The only connection I have with my culture is through cooking, and unfortunately I can’t speak Korean. So everything you’ve just said I have felt at some point in my life. I really thought I was the only one who has dealt with identity crisis until recently and although it’s so sad, I almost feel at ease because I’m not alone like I once thought I was. And you know, people have always told me that I’m beautiful but it makes you wonder if it’s because I’m unique. Does that make sense? Just because I’m Asian in a white mans world makes me attractive.
love the theme, Amanda. I'm glad you're choosing to use your platform to share your thoughts on the Asian hate crimes. I really hope this stops happening, it sucks that we live in a time that's supposed to be advanced and people still behave like this. Sending all the love to all Asians and people affected by this.
As an Indian myself, i have seen intense hate towards people from north-eastern India because they "look Asian", during the start of the pandemic. It's just horrible (to say the least) the hate towards Asians around the world. Thank you Amanda for sharing your experiences, and informing us rightfully.
All of my love to my Asian friends, y'all are so strong! xx
Thank you Amanda for speaking up for the Asian community! I too am disappointed in the lack of engagement from people in the stationary community, almost everyone who talks about hate against Asians are, well, Asians.. And your personal story really resonates with me as well, I'm a Korean that can't speak Korean. Love this theme, it's a beautiful tribute!!
I am Filipino but studied in a Chinese Buddhist School in the Philippines. A class is specially allocated for Chinese calligraphy and that is where I learned how to hold brushes and the strokes that we use now for brush calligraphy.
As an asian working in the middle east, racism is manifested on our payroll - arab vs non arab, local or not. And added to that fact is the gender discrimination. It is a daily struggle and I am glad to see people speak up about this. Thank you Amanda for dedicating your April Plan With me for racism (this also happens to be my birth month).
Can we just appreciate the art- Its so aesthetically pleasing and everything about her is just SO ORGANIZED 🥺❤️💖
tysm for this amanda, you made me smile while watching this video and i’m glad that you’re willing to speak up about everything happening to the asian community right now. ilysm ♡︎♡︎♡︎
Dear Amanda! I hace silently followed you for more than a year by now. As a Jew growing up in Argentina, with such a strong catholic white occidental culture, I can fully understand you. It is a whole different experience but still can understand how is to be part of a cultural minority. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I am an art historian and I love your work. Hugs from Buenos Aires!!!
As a first generation Filipino-American, this video is really true, and one of the most accurate, and best way that I’ve seen someone support Anti-Racism. Thank you for using your platform to do this, it must have been very scary. I love you so much, and I hope people just treat others based on the content of their character, have a great day!
Also, for anyone that is interested in books, “They Called Us Enemy” is a great story about a first generation Japanese-American boy during WW2, while being kept in the Japanese internment camps
Her spreads inspire me so much but I can never actually do something as flawless as hers
Samee
Me as well
But by time you will find your own style and everyone make mistakes
Yea, same. But i also think it's important to show yourself in your spreads, that gives them an individuality thats more important than doing them flawlessly
@@maibi. I agree with you. I watch others videos for inspirations but at the end I do my own thing
Bamboo is super creative! My theme is lavender fields.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Amanda.
Whoa sounds great! Mine is a hot air balloon 🎈
@@esther8298 cute! I’ll have to write that one down, I’m doing a cottagecore theme for my full bujo. I’m sure I can fit that in somewhere 😂
@@ava-cn6ct oooo sounds great!
Thank you so much for sharing your story! Being "only" mixed myself, I thought it wasn't fair of me to feel like I was affected by Asian hate/racism and part of the Asian community, but you talking about the topic and your experiences in particular have helped to show me how wrong I was. I don't speak Korean & have never been there, & especially the part where you talk about micro-aggressions hit me hard because I have experienced all of them myself. I'm sorry it was so exhausting for you to speak about this (I hope you feel better soon!!) but I'm very grateful you did! This video reminded me that my experiences with racism are valid and showed me I'm not alone ♥️
i really appreciate you taking your time to educate and bring attention to this very hard topic. It takes a lot of guts and vulnerability to do this on a platform you’ve created for yourself and i’m grateful to have you as a voice to listen to.
also this months spread was beautiful thank you
I'm proud to be a Bangladeshi Asian woman even though my personal ezperiw 've is different to that of more eastern Asian people we still share some of the same experiences. I am thankful that you have spoken up about this and I hope i can do that too.
Aaaaa!! Your all spreads are so beautiful and aesthetic ✨ I really try to hand letter and doodle like her but I can't 😔🥺
But I am not going to give up cuz I have Amanda to go get inspiration🥰
Lysm Amanda and All friends❤️
Really ❤️❤️
Hey, i feel you. I am an asian but im from india. We fans will give all the support you need. Love from India!
Being an asian this is soo mentally disturbing but thank you to all you big creators to talk about it letting people know and we DEEPLY HOPE this reduces and gradually stops😔
This video isn't only a drawing but an a lesson to a lot of people. I watching your video for years and I just understand what you have been through. 😔❤
I'm so happy that Amanda is supporting Asian women
Good job girl❤
Thank you for sharing 💙❤ As a South Asian muslim girl born and raised in Australia a lot of the things you talked about were really relatable. Especially the part about feeling like you don't fully belong in either of the cultures you grew up in.
Also, I love the bamboo theme it is really beautiful. 😊
It made me cry, Asian hate is just so.....I don't know what to say. I'm from Bangladesh, and it really hurts. I'm really interested in history of China and southeast Asia. Thank you for letting me know so much. Love you!
In love with this Asian celebration!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences! Very informative video, and so important. 💛💛💛
Loved the asmr part at the start 😂😂 but seriously, I’m Asian too! Parents: mom from China but parents are Korean/Chinese. Dad from Malaysia but looks Japanese (Because of ancestors probably) and there’s me who has no idea what I am. I am born in Malaysia speaks a whole bunch of languages (mostly know English idk why) looks Korean/Japanese/Chinese?) So in my new school it’s pretty hard for me to fit in just because of that. Sometimes I get water poured on me, drinks and food “accidentally” spilled on me, treated bad by teachers in class etc.
I'm so sorry for hearing this :( No one deserved being treat like this because of their race being different from most other
(I'm also from Malaysia, but I live here :] )
amanda: making few grey lines and make a masterpiece
me: trys for days and ends up with a ruined paper with a big mess to clean up
Amanda: Making paintings without drawing
Poor me: Drawing it atleast 100 times then painting it
I can relate 😂
I'm just the same😂
thank you amanda for using your platform for anti-racism and to spread awareness about this prevalent issue in the world ❤️ i’m half vietnamese but i don’t look asian at all, so i feel privileged that i haven’t experienced racism, but hurt that so many asians have. hearing about the numerous hate crimes in the world, especially america where i live, is heartbreaking to hear. from the bottom of my heart, thank you amanda
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this post! Everything you talked about had very strong connections to my own experiences and feelings of being a half-Korean female. It wasn't until my mom passed away 4 years ago did I begin to really embrace the beautiful Korean side of myself and all of the culture and extended family that I did not fully appreciate. It is so painful to realize that racism's push for assimilation can cause a human being to once upon a time want to completely erase a part of herself. I am 47 and much wiser and wish I could go back and hold my younger self and give her the strength to see the truths. Now I know it has all given me a unique perspective and wisdom that I can use to better educate my students and others about racism.
I just feel so grateful to be an Asian. Also thank you so so much I actually got to know a lot more about this topic that I didn’t already. Love you Amanda you are literally the best influencer I have ever seen!🖤🤍🖤🤍
Currently doing my set up and this makes me want to redo omg- But top tier quality, love this new style of video!
Also as an Asian person, anti-Asian hate has actually been going on during the BLM movement but the news had no idea about innocent people being beaten up because they were Asian. Now it's actually a problem being issued, I just really hope the next generation doesn't have to suffer from this!
AMANDA - This is everything!!!!! Your story and inspiration encourage me to push my creative outlook to the edge! Appreciate everything you do for us viewers!!
Thank you Amanda for speaking about this! This is so touching! I moved from China to Canada almost 6 years ago. I’m glad that I haven’t experienced any racist or disrespect against me, or maybe I just didn’t feel it at all. But I’ve heard stories of my Asian friends being insulted or discriminated for no reason. It was so sad. As the vulnerables, and also because we group up being taught to be tolerant and modest, we are not speaking loud enough. Listening to you talking about this really encourages me! We should not be silent anymore!
I wanted to say that although we are angry about the whole Asian hate issue and all the other discrimination issues, let’s not let those bad things influence ourselves. Let’s still be happy and positive!
Im not Chinese, but I lived in china for 9 years and I have to say that everyday felt like I was home so I'm so sorry to the chinese to go through this
A 30 minute plan with me video?
Yes please! This is amazing!❤️✨
I love this video (even though I haven’t watched the whole thing yet)! Love the new style!!
And it’s beautiful that you’re talking about this and spreading awareness.
Beautiful set up and I really like that you’re talking about hate crime and your asian culture. Awareness is so important and learning about these kind of things is also so important❤️
I have always always loved learning about and experiencing other cultures. I am always looking for ways to grow so thank you for teaching me more and for being proud of where you come from!! Everyone should be proud of where they come from. Everyone needs to be celebrated!!!! Praying for all nations
amanda.

and yes, im asian too
love u amanda! keep going
So excited for this! i love you Amanda!
I LOVE the monochromatic bamboo look! So cute! Love your vids Amanda! The Asian Artists page is just awesome!
Why can’t everyone appreciate the diverse cultures and traditions of the world for being fascinating and beautiful? There are imperfect people in every culture and in every time. People can be cruel and selfish and mean in any culture. But there can also be good and kind and beautiful human beings in any culture. Can’t we embrace who we are, flaws and all, and embrace others with their imperfections but also with their beauty. I personally am from a pretty sheltered small town, so I don’t see other cultures very often, but when I do, I find them beautiful and fascinating and love learning about their personal stories and hearing some of their languages. I think you’re beautiful, Amanda, inside and out. ❤️
As a 1st generation mixed-Japanese, Asian American woman. Thank you. Using your platform to talk about your experiences as well as the experiences many of us face makes such a difference. I appreciate it so much and I understand your experiences and I feel it all so much. 💖
Yayayayyyyyyyy it's here!!!!
Love the theme.... I'm indian and totally understand the struggles.... It's really sad that even today there are people with such discriminatory mind sets
Ahhh.. this looks super pretty!! Love it ❤️❤️
I literally have gone through racism, soo i felt like crying hearing these things that are happening in many countries.
i can tell that this topic is really hard for you to talk about , i can also tell it is something that is really important to you . thank you for speaking up about your feelings sending all my love from london xx
I actually learned so much from your video Amanda, thank you for sharing your experiences and research with us, which wasn't easy to do. You are such a light and inspiring to so many people. Love you always, and I stand with you!
Hello Amanda I’m early. I think that this is so important for Amanda to speak out her feeling and I love that she has managed to educate me really well on this topic.
As a white woman I thank you for sharing your experiences so I can learn and be a better ally for any asian/people of color out there. It's a tough world and I've been very privileged as I've never received any kind of racist hate, but I've always been very aware that it exists. People can be so mean and hateful, we need to bring anyone's attention to this problem by correcting "jokes" or comments! Very important!
This video was incredible, Amanda. Thank you for educating your audience! You are awesome
I know what you feel too. I used to feel the same. Especially trying to distance myself from people of my race.
I've been sheltered from it when I was younger, but now I understand more. Thanks for this video.
It is frustrating that so many ppl are like this.
Wow Amanda, thanks for doing this for the Asian community. I appreciate that you’re using your platform to spread awareness and bring light to the many misconceptions and hardships that Asians face. I can tell that you did a ton of research. You brought forth many relevant topics that a lot Asian people are too scared to talk about. Your words are truly genuine, and it shows that you deeply care about this topic. Thanks for taking the time make this video and sharing it with followers. I have no doubt that it will help to not only inform them, but also inspire them to become a better version of themselves.
Liking the video before even watching is a habit now..love you Amanda!! ❤️
amanda is literally glowing she's so pretty omg
This is a topic that very much needs to be heard. It’s horrifying watching how people treat people different from themselves insensitively and disrespectfully. Keep inspiring and sharing, Amanda! POC’s perspectives and specifically Asian perspectives greatly need to be heard right now. Thank you thank you thank you.
I never realized that this was affecting so many people, I’m so sorry Amanda. You are inspiring, its really interesting to hear all of the history. Thank you 🙏🏼 💜
amanda's videos are just so aesthetically pleasing i can't -
I know you probably won't see this but I just want to say thank you for raising awareness on such a current, real issue. You are incredibly well-spoken and as someone who doesn't know as much I should on this topic, I feel very well educated. Thank you Amanda xxx
I am so sorry this is what you are going through in the pandemic, thank you for openly speaking out and staying so strong. You are a role model to hundreds of thousands of people.
THANK YOU for this video. I’m Korean American and I really related to what you said. I know it takes a lot to be open about our experiences with racial injustices. I think you’re criticism of the stationary community is valid and fair. Consuming our culture without allyship feels wrong. Thank you for this video! The artwork was really beautiful too!
I'm so excited, I feel like a part of me is missing since you didn't stream today. So this is what I really needed. 🥰🥰
Ooo I’m so excited! I’m finally early for once lol. I’m sure the spread will look great :D I wish I had a billet journal to follow along but somehow watching Amanda being so awesome and organized just makes you want to get your life together, ya know?
After watching the whole video I think it’s immensely sweet and eye-opening to hear all the things she talked about in the video. Racism and hate is definitely something that needs to stop, something we need to unite against, so thank you for spreading this message.
I'm so glad you decided to speak about this, and thank you for sharing your experience. The hatred, discrimination, and violence the Asian community has faced not just today but throughout history breaks my heart, and I'll be the first one to admit that I didn't know how bad it was and still is. This horrible act of violence and hatred in Atlanta has driven me to do research, understand the history, and see how I can improve in supporting the Asian community. So once again, thank you for sharing your experience and being so open about the struggles you've faced. You were the first stationery/art creator whose content I really fell in love with, and I always look forward to your videos. Sending you love from Denmark ❤️
Dear Amanda.
During these pandemic.
Watching your art is my happiness.
Thank you a lot.
No matter what.
Your are an angel.
