Omg lmao! His poor cousin sitting there 40 minutes.
ziljin 我是不是要啊呵呵啊哈哈了么啊哈哈啊
nephew?
Lol
His cousin didn't make it to the intermediate class
The cousin knew what he was doing hah
This video is co-presented by The Korean American Engineers Group.
hahahhahah
William Zhang 😂
😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"You have to put a South in front to include us." Thats a great line
India
the whole having to put the “south” part in front of “asian” just to be included reaaaally hit home. it’s always been really annoying not being considered asian, especially when other asians don’t even recognize that either. i’m so in love w/ this series right now!!
Monique H I always considered you guys/gals as Asian! :-)
I can kinda relate. As an Indian from Northeast (most of the people from northeast part if India traces its origin to Tibetan or Mongolian race and thus have typical "asian" features) we have to call ourselves as Northeast-Indians to be recognised as Indians. Isnt the world messed up?
yet the word Asian was made by white people because they didnt bother to learn the differences between a huge ass continent with 60 percent of world population. Its like if Asians "discovered" afro europe, and decided to call africans and europeans all afropeans, and the afropeans wondee why the europeans and africans tend to dissassociate
@@user-cl7cl4qj9c Asian isnt an ethnogroup. but rather a geographic group. thus it is properly classified.
@@user-cl7cl4qj9c please , please don't tell me you live in the U.S.... it always amazes me when i hear asians disrespecting my country but they are living in the U.S..
Never seen Asian American issues with close to this level of nuance done anywhere else. WFP really deserves a show on televesion.
K.Louis I love they have conversations that we should be having on race - and how do they do it ? BY ACTUALLY HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS. It’s genius.
As an Indian American who goes to an all white school, when the 5 Indian and Chinese kids in our entire grade all grouped up and sat together one day, I realized we relate on so many things things and laughed over them for hours. We came together as the only Asians in our entire school and ended up bonding over our cultural similarities rather than dividing ourself based on differences. I also learn so much about their culture and vice versa. We all are in a similar place in America. Socially, politically, and economically
Omg! This is so wholesome! I am from Bangladesh and whenever the guys from Thailand and Korea ask me to hang out with them saying, "Bro we all Asians" it really feels good!
Lady: "I noticed you have a bunch of Chinese friends in the office!" 😬
Yeah i cringed during that whole conversation.
I could’ve sworn I’ve seen you somewhere before, so I checked my recent followers on Twitter/TikTok and you’re following me on TikTok 💀 Strange to meet you here. I’m gonna follow you back on TikTok for being a Wong Fu supporter.
This is my favorite episode so far - Asian hate against other Asians annoys me so much... all of us are facing similar struggles, we don‘t need to create any more problems
why don‘t we just help each other out instead of looking down on each other! ❤️
Elly Xia I'm all for this and as the modern more progressive generation come forward it will be better. Still in China some of my older relatives still and probably will never get over things like the Nanjing Massacre.
I agree, asian unity is very important. Not just among different Asian ethnicities, but both genders need to be united as well to address asian problems as a whole. Asian males and females both encounter negative stereotypes and struggles #asiansunited
PigStuffy77 totally agree... Looking at the history of Asia it‘s a lot harder for older generations to overcome grudges and prejudices, without doubt
But if you look at it holistically, especially with all the Asians on a global scale who are all being discriminated against, I think that Asians have to first come to terms with each other - we Asians can‘t possibly expect others to not discriminate us, when we can‘t even stop discriminating/hating each other
Elly Xia 的时候我们这边没有了吗哦亲戚啊啊是啊了吗你是不是在哪里呢了
Elly Xia very well said! I definitely find the Asians who are born and raised in culturally diverse countries (America, Canada etc) are way more open to the idea comparitevely to homogenous countries (China, Korea, Japan etc).
We Asians outside of Asia are already a minority why minoritize ourselves more in such a way? #asiansunited
I'm glad they brought to light of the half Asian heritage. I hate when people ask questions like "which half of you is talking right now?" Like bish both. All of me. I'm one person not two lolol
OMG people really ask you that?! That's so weird!
Finally!!!!!! People realize that halfies exist!
And us 1/4 too! For us it waivers into the "not Asian enough" territory T.T
Hapa struggles
No disrespect to anyone. I liked how her father was the asian one and her mom the black one.
The Filipino guy clapping, lol, I was all excited as well and about to clap along with him. 🤣😂 You just have to Filipino to understand.
A blasian has been spotted 👀 and a japanese one too! Shes like me!
Cool
Black people and Asians have a long history of solidarity around the world, it's just not properly represented in the mainstream.
Homer Dulu they are around but their Asian heritage is Erased. Candice Patton who is in The Flash (Barry’s wife) is half Korean but she’s only portrayed as black, same with Nia Long. Unless the hapa is very fair skin the Asian identity is automatically dropped which is really sad.
She fine AF....and you too it seems. ;)
And her asian parent is the dad! Cause that's never acknowledged 😇
I think this one was my fav episode
Joe Jitsukawa way to go with your negative stereotype of Asians, Joe. Good to see your channel is getting smaller and smaller and how you are becoming irrelevant.
De Re It's true and sad that a lot of Asian comedians feel the need to be self-deprecating and make jokes about stereotypes. But you don't have to wish for an Asian entertainer to become irrelevant when he isn't even THAT toxic.
tyler what is more important to you? His content or his Asian ethnicity? It is a sad day that these Asian comedians can’t make it without playing into these negative Asian stereotypes. His content is toxic to the Asian community so the faster he becomes irrelevant, the better.
Don’t listen to the haters when what they are saying is not true. They just don’t understand your content and your mindset. Keep it up joe. Mudda love you long time
De Re shut the fuck up you self righteous bitch
I love this episode. Its so cool to see South and South East Asian representation in the Asian dialogue. Also nice to see a Blasian character because Blasians are also very much generally excluded from being Asian.
She wasn’t lying Hip Hop does have origins in Feudal Japan... y’all never seen Samurai Champloo 😂😂😂
Don't forget Afro Samurai!
Gold loool
Asians are fairly ethnocentric, some more than others, I admit, as revealed in this episode not so subtly and also extremely diverse. How you got so many issues accurately addressed in a single episode was genius. Damn good production.
The fact that this came out on the Fourth Of July is actually so perfect
Lmao at the korean guy
i go to gym for taro milk tea and ramen I live for your username 👌🏼
He was the best 😂
He's also from K-TOWN Cowboys haha
I only came here for Peter Kim :D
Dude that guy killed it in Ktown Cowboys
This show is really interesting. I appreciate them trying to touch on Afro-Asian intercultural relationships. I'd like to see more shows that depict the relationship between different Asian nationalities and Black folx and cultural exchanges. Contrary to popular belief, the Black community isn't as united as we want to believe we are, particularly pertaining to issues of Black immigration from African and Caribbean countries and also having different histories of racism in the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America.
@MATHA NOSHTO-MAN Because in America - it does? Why are you running away from the reality of history?
@@zeewann only in identity politics...The experiment of democracy has brought all groups together, for the most part successfully...It's the George Soros of the world who wants everyone fighting each others so called---GROUP...aka Identity Politics....Most white Americans could care less who comes into the country, as long as they aren't trying to blow the place up....I think that's a pretty fair deal...
I agree that blacks in the usa aren't as united as the video would make it seem, but i think that for many black people around the world there is still a strong legacy of "Pan-Africanism" present in various parts of the continent as well as in the western hemisphere as well as the fact that black americans historically speaking are an incredibly mixed group of people, geographically speaking (not just talking about the original 7 locations that enslaved black people came from), although yes there are tensions that can occur between immigrants and non-immigrants (and separate histories and cultures should be respected). Also while black immigrants come from a different culture, blacks in the united states are still overwhelmingly descendants of enslaved people so that "assimilation" for many black immigrant children means in many ways becoming black american.
On the other hand for lots of people in Asia while I'm sure it changes in America for Asian-Americans, the tensions are real and acute. I live in Japan where there is a persistent anti-Korean sentiment that should be considered to be equal to white on black racism in the united states, especially when thinking about the Korean minority that lives here according to local racial justice activists i know. The history of Japanese colonialism (and other tensions) make for complex and very real divisions imo.
@MATHA NOSHTO-MAN because everything in our American experience involves combating & overcoming racism. Consider yourself privileged that you are ignorant to this, then take responsibility and educate yourself.
Yes, I was gonna comment that the black diaspora could use learning this too. I often see african americans excluding black people from the islands or latin american countries. And then there are Africans who look down on any black people who aren't from africa.
This is gonna be lost in the sea of comments, but I just wanna say how happy and grateful that you guys exist making these shorts/films. As an Asian-American that lives in a predominantly Hispanic community and knowing almost one to three Asians personally in my life, these videos help me create an arguably connected feeling towards my culture/nationality. Not just a feeling, but also a conversation that has always been on my mind like if how I behave, whether it is within my family or socially, would be considered "Asian"; which has been stated in many of your videos. I've been a fan since the first season of wong fu weekends and I've never put yall down for a second. I can't wait till I see what all of you working in Wong Fu will become in the next 5 to 10 years! Much love from a Filipino in Arizona
Don’t worry, to the current 88 people who have liked this comment it’s made a difference.
Finally some South Asian represent on Wong Fu!!! Felt good. Here's to more in the future hopefully!
They've been included in past videos too
This is still the most significant South Asian role to date if i remember correctly. So not an insignificant thing by any means
Exactly what I meant. The only other one that comes to mind is the one Desi dude in Asian Bachelorette.
Where viet
There is not much south asian representation on wong fu, and you can't blame them for it exactly because of the subject matter of this video. They include us a little but how many South Asians are inclusive of East asians or pacific asians? Actually there is not much South Asian representation from America on RUclips period. South Asians also need to get up and start talking about topics like these and show solidarity with other people. The problem is we're too busy fighting about North vs. South Indian or Indian vs Pakistan or Punjabi vs Gujrati or Telugu vs. Tamil etc.
*co-presented by the korean american engineers group*
Ok, this just opened my eyes. I am African, East African, and this just made me realise how united Africans can get. A good example is the music, we pick elements from each other every now and then, even the dancing, the food.. and where opportunities rise for one of ours to shine, we celebrate them as a continent, generally. And I would say the same about African Americans, regardless of ethnicity, they usually join hands and stand as a single unit and that has promoted a general African, or African American culture which I think is a great way of sharing one's culture. Start with the general and break it down the more you get into it. Great message, great video.
I agree but I feel we should more aware of each other like when I lived in Nigeria I barely knew anything about other parts of Africa and I still don't.
@@tmoney579 True. Until I travelled around other countries in East Africa, I assumed we were more like the same but I was surprised at how different things are in other countries in the same region!
@@tmoney579 If you are or have been in school. What do you learn about the other African countries at school?
Well kinda, it's not really like that anymore, i live in Africa we only unite with songs but then fight over the dances, we barely support each other and label each other as "foreigners", we kill each other and that just leads other stronger continents or countries take our fortunes, i think the uniting thing is more w African Americans coz they dunno where in Africa they came from or just arent Africans, Africa is just like the Asians fighting except we're poorer
The fact y’all consider north africans as being JUST AS AFRICAN even though so many are very light there is what makes me really happy. Considering the ‘middle east’ (literally not even a real thing) is made up of north africa and west asia. West asians are constantly told we are just Europeans living in asia .. we literally the same skin tone as north africans too lol we come in very deep to light skin
anyone else feel like it was a missed opportunity at 1:50 for the line to be "are you here to pick me up, or pick her up?"
we need this haha they've been hitting all these topics and questions right on the nose and tied it beautifully. dude this series definitely deserves more eyes and its own tv slot
seriously agree
this is fax
“Don’t tell Hasan Minhaj” 😂😂😂
Shama Rahman honestly the best line
That dudes Netflix special is really good! And actually pretty relatable even to me as a first-gen Filipino Canadian!
Tony E honestly Asian culture is pretty much the same throughout the whole continent. As a Bangladeshi Canadian, I relate so much to Wong Fu stuff.
is it just me or his cousins voice is really nice omg
Could totally pass for Zuko for the live action Avatar adaptation. But Dante Basco will forever be the 'honor'-able Fire Lord Zuko
@@shukrysii828omg that was what i was thinking the entire time!!! especially after watching avatar a week ago
This Asian history month thing was well portrayed, cause I never understood the division in Asian community. I never understood why they are so divided.
Again, I make the observation that no group makes sketches/productions that manages to capture the perspective of the modern Asian-American with all its subtle cultural identities without ever over-generalizing. It's the kind of quality you'd expect from a much more successful brand, which begs the question - why isn't Wong Fu Productions a bigger deal?
James Li I KNOWWW! It's so infuriating that shitty channels get famous but high production value, amazing, non-sellout channels like wong fu take so much time to gain traction, and honestly that reduces my faith in the world by the minute
its cringy basic b*tch level SJW cultural marxist drivel, kinda sad that there are actually EAST Asian-Americans that buy into this... then again "antifa" is populated by trust funder white kids so I guess every community has its sjw loser populations
James Li Because Asians are still hesitant to support other Asians. If there was an Asian version of Black Panther, a lot of Asian people still wouldnt watch it.
Calm down Spencer, I think you should tone it down on your Milo/Ben Shapiro consumption.
The acting isn't up to par. The script and dialogue delivery are cheesy and heavy-handed, even if at their core they would be fine if better acted. WFP sketches still feel campy for the most part, very grassroots which has its charm but not on the level that makes them more acclaimed. It's like how CW shows are commonly derided as campy, despite them making millions due to history and existing network connections.
Affinity war? Infinity war?
Phil doesn't feel so good
He doesn't phil so good
OMG MY HEART THEY LIKED MY COMMENT 😭❤️
Diane237 in a good way?
Diane237 yeah..
I want to go to a party where they are just playing John Woo DVDs
"are you done yet?"
Me😂
*Screams in Loki voice* "I HAVE BEEN SITTING FOR TWENTY MINUTES!!!"
Wednesdays are my new favourite day of the week
"i love claiming bruno mars" SFKHSDKHSDFKHS UNDERRATED QUOTE
The saddest but best part about the roundtable inspirational party talk, is that it should be applied to humans as a whole.
Human beings have become so unreasonably divided over things that, grand scheme, don't matter.
"Under the stars, under the heavens, there is but one family".
Of course not to take away anything from what you're doing and saying here, it's just that, I don't know, it's unfortunate that we have to have these talks within minority groups because the majority is so used to ignoring and rejecting the sentiment.
For a moment I thought the title of this episode was infinity war😂
I think that's the joke :D
Tina Lin they saw the chance and they took it
Andrew? We don't feel so good....
Tina Lin I thought the same thing 😂
Man, i feel like these episodes fly by so fast! I'm like super invested and then it ends lol
Philip B. 😁 Hahaha you too huh?
Same.... ;-(
The title of this episode should be Co-Presented by The Korean American Engineers Group.
The best episode yet! Philip's comedic timing is spot-on.
Wong Fu always making great and hilarious videos about being Asian. Awesome.
So many fucking shills it's unreal
NO U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ziljin how is the way you respond any different than alt right trolls
EmilyW well I didn't say any racial slurs or say any insults. So that's the difference.
ziljin I don't think you've interacted with any of these individuals in your life. Are you one of those Asian Americans that live in a little bubble that doesn't expand beyond bougie Asian niche groups and the internet?
This is quite accurate. I've seen that chinese americans tend to actually be good at bridging the gap between the different asian americans and lumping them all as asian, not in a bad way but more like a unified way. Where was the Vietnamese, Malay, Singapore, Thai, Indonesian, Cambodian, and Japanese representation in the board room though? ;) JK I get the jist of it. No harm no foul. :) Entertaining series so far, doing a very good job at sharing some other wise very sensetive topics. This series, so far gets good positive discussions going and more awareness ! Positive reviews all around so far for this Yappie series from me!!
I noticed Benson in the conference room with no speaking part. He could have been playing a Vietnamese, Malay, Singaporean, Cambodian, or Japanese. Take your pick.
Perhaps Benson represents all of the missing asians (in the boardroom) all in one person. As it would be difficult to cast every single asian type in one boardroom, probably due to time constraints on film. =)
Except that Singaporean are mostly Chinese anyway
Tell us how you really feel, "David" ? ;)
*singapore, we are made up of mostly chinese anyways lol
"2 Karaoke machines for 3 hours?" Oh that had me crackin 😂
Great episode!! Love how yall addressed how even though we're asian/pacific we're also very "divided" something that we really need to work on if we want things to change tbh
It's sad how all asians can and normally get grouped under one name. As a latina, watching the different asian ethnicities interact reminded me of how latin cultures do too- even if we have the same damn language! We have dialects and different slang - but that's another topic. I love learning more about cultural differences and i /hope/ this will give me a better understand beyond my own heritage
tooearlyforapril yup umbrella terms happen to simplify everything. Sometimes it's just easier that way although less inclusive. Fun fact in Mainland china there are 56 different ethnic groups and there are over 200 chinese dialects spoken.
PigStuffy77 with how american culture is changing and becoming more enlightened, not counting the whole trump and... Entire political landscape, i would hope we wouldnt need umbrella terms. But like you said, it is easier.
And i didnt know about Mainland china being so diverse! A fact for yourself, Mexico has 68 indigenous and 350 dialects- spanish being the overall language since colonization. We have an amount of diversity that is hard to track, since it is so mixed!
Thanks for the information! I never knew how diverse Mexico was either! It's crazy how small our own little world bubble is when there is so much more in the world on such a vast scale.
I think umbrella terms are OK however to not be used ignorantly...ideally lol and I hope more people to seek on learning and admitting their ignorance.
"Asian American" is just sjw social constructivist cultural marxism politics. there is no such thing organically.
Spencer Austin-Martin not sure who you're responding to in your reply since neither of us stated 'asiant American's in the specific comment thread. Personally I'm not American, I'm Canadian. And I don't usually use the term Asian Canadian for myself. Maybe 'Chinese, born in Canada' but that's a mouthful
i never want these episodes to end ahhhhhh
Love this series so far!
Thank you for shining light on the reality of Asian’s struggles in America. And thank you for creating videos that are substantial and really shares the truth.
Another great episode. Alot of great topics covered in this one. I love everything about this series. Very well written.
Yooo andrew’s take about AAPHM was so true, I think that even though we’re all different, each time we hear someone asian in the media just brings joy to us! I love this show! + the soundtracks yall got is perfect
Yes they really resounded with me. Any country remotely asian gets my family's support in world cup, olympics, etc. I 🤣
Wong Fu productions always giving me some food for thought. There is a whole group of Asian people of all backgrounds creating their new identity in Anglosphere countries.
Super proud of Wong Fu and how far they've come. These shorts are legit awesome! 😍 Keep up the good work guys!!!
I'm so glad I clicked on the first episode of yappie. It was in my recommendations & now I'm binging on all of your videos! Thank you!
This series feels like a breathe of fresh air
"I love claiming Bruno Mars" 😍🤩
Bruno Mars is asian??????
f Forecast he's half Filipino I think.
f Forecast half filipino
He's a very talented entertainer
"I love claiming Bruno Mars" LOL HAHA
Loved this one!! Also, Hasan Minhaj and Jeremy Lin references, followed by a Will Jay song at the end? Gold.
Aaaaaaahhhh it’s great!!! Can’t wait for next week. The issue of Asians being greatly diversified because of different ethnic backgrounds really struck a chord. We lack unity and that is something the African American had a lot of. Sometimes I feel like Asia should be divided up into North, South, West, and East since there’s way to many groups of people.
I hope people are buying this, it's really disgusting that this quality of content is free. I know, such a weird thing to complain about, I just feel like WongFu doesn't get their dues.
Love this episode so much!! Thank you guys so much for this series...You guys hit so many points that are hard to explain in words. I really mean it when I want every Asian American to see this.
Really enjoyed this episode! Glad to see you guys raising awareness on Asian community overseas! 😊
This series keeps getting interesting. Andrew journey in carving out an active role in living they life he wants. Top notch series yet again.
This has to be the best episode yet. Good dialogue and clear message from the main and supporting cast. And I liked the story. Looking forward to the next episode
Good episode! The series is getting stronger. I liked the writing in this!
I'm loving this series. Y'all are so talented!
Also, Will Jay's "Leading Man" at the end was a pleasant surprise.💜
Yesss this is everything! It’s so relatable and it’s so real and so true! I cannot with these series! It’s amazing
As a Korean, I must admit that I did relate to David... 😔
heheheheh
This is content. THIS IS AMAZING!!!
You guys deserve sooo much more recognition. I’ve been watching your videos since the early days of your channel and your content has only gotten better.
This reminded me of when my Asian Association, at my university, held a API panel. It was hard marketing it to all of the Asian groups bc they all wanted to do something different. In the end we had a representative from almost all of the organizations! It’s so nice seeing everyone come together for a single purpose:)
Omg, I'm really loving this series!!!! Also love that you used a Will Jay song!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's true that the black community has a stronger bound because its shared tragic history in America. However in that process an entire continent has been reduced to simply 'Africa' neglecting the individual identities of the many countries on this continent. So I do find it better for the white collective understanding of 'Asia' when each country's history and tradition is being represented.
Hami Hoax so true, east asian get the they all the same thing. Africans are just wondering when people will know that Africa is a country but a continent with many countries. Like for instance i said i was nigeria someone asked me if i knew her Kenyan friend. Like No No i don't and also i don't speak African bcuz that language does not exist.
Hahahaha! They have like over 100 Bantu languages alone over there. It's so funny when people talk about speaking "African."
White people still see Asia as a monolith. While us Asians see Asia as very diverse and in conflict with eachother.
And since black people came to the US a lot more years ago and were forced into slavery, that also forced them to abandon the African part of their culture.
It’s very rare for people to understand the full complexity of the African Diaspora. There are people from Africa (54 countries and 11 official languages FYI), the Caribbean, and let’s not forget our Afro-Latinx brothers and sisters. As much as we have this common thread of slavery and oppression, we are not a monolith and have a countless number of differences. Hope to see that reflected more often!
My country, South Africa, has 11 official languages on its own - way more official languages than that on our continent.
this series deserves so much more views!
I love this series! I hope that someday you might include something about the struggles faced by 1/4 asians!
This was the best episode so far IMO. Got to see some problem solving and initiative along with some funny dialogue. Great job
sozen360 I have to agree, I mean this episode seemed like a different series altogether (in a nice way). The transitions, and a big improvement in the writing. I was waiting for the comedic moments to be delivered in a more confident way, and this is definitely a more positive step, in my opinion. 😊
sozen360 Seriously, this was by far the best episode! Everything was interwoven so beautifully and i really liked the pacing. Never once did I feel, i wanted it to end. Like i wanted more! I could see the potential character development of the side characters! If only there were more seasons? :-)
The Korean guy reminds me of every korean I've met at college lol
well, koreans are the master race so...
I know, right? I was thinking "OF COURSE it's the Korean guy who refuses to go along with the plan because of national pride"...they have the most insufferable culture.
East Korea uhh you mean the ones that were starved or the ones that are being protected by america from total destruction? - vietnamese guy lmao
No compassion towards the N and S Korea eh, especially from an ethnic group that recently went through a horrible war. Being at war is a very tragic thing so no need to poke fun at it. Also there is no such thing as master race East Korea (eye roll).
East Korea are you a troll? Literally you're in like every single RUclips video that's about Asians and you make koreans look bad with your ignorant bs. And there's no such thing as a "master race" lmao you sound like a fucking Nazi
Thank you for the series I didn’t know I needed. Very informative and real!!! Well done!!!
As a SouthEast Asian Blasian, this episode hits home and what’s been in my mind my entire life. WONG FU YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️
Ali Wong and Hasan Minhaj were mentioned. I'm pleased.
loving the ENCOURAGING Asian speech.. PREACHHHHHH!!!!!
This series will probably be a hit on youtube. I really love the vibe and passion behind each and every videos you guys made. Its really a good influence to the society. Keep up the work !!! Wongfu for life 😁
You guys just keep getting better and better! Thank you so much!!
Thanks Wong Fu! This made my day again. And if by the end of the day you have changed someone's perspective of life, made him a better person or just more happy...then your real goal in life has been achieved! THUMBS UP!
*Wong fu binge has been activated* again.
Each time, each episode gets better. I love this so much!
I've only just seen these today and I'm actually so gassed for every episode. So hype
Each episode is better than the previous one
lololo the korean guy
as a korean I laughed out loud at the korean pride thing they touch on in these videos. so true.
Omg support!! Please keep doing this high quality content!! We need this !
literally the best series ever. I only subscribed to wong fu recently but i love their stuff and can't wait for more!
Being one of the only 3 Asians at the agency I work for, I’m usually the one that puts on the AAPI heritage month celebration. Instead of solely focusing on my own heritage, I dedicate each year to a different Asian group to bring awareness to their history and culture (as I do not know other Asians’ stories/ histories myself). This year focused on the Japanese Internment Camp, as the Central Valley was one of the many locations- it was a story close to home. A documentary was just made this year on ValleyPBS.
As a Korean, the Korean engineer was so on point with Koreans i grew up with lol k-pride~ lol love this series, watching for a second time.
my favorite episode so far. this highlighted one of my struggles and pet peeves. thank you for mentioning that we should all set aside our differences and unite together!
God this series makes me so happy. I don't live in America but dang I just love that I can see (and kinda relate to) the content you guys put out here on RUclips. Thanks so much!!
I think this video brought up some great topics like being inclusive and working together as Asians. Another important thing is when the dance teacher said that Middle Eastern and Russian people are not considered as Asians. I would like to disagree with that because I know many Middle Easterners that do identify as Asian. This mostly stems from similar cultural background to many South Asians and also being part of the continent of Asia. However, they are not really recognized or acknowledged as part of this heritage month. Overall, I do really like this show and totally routing for its success!!
Mona Yousuf Agreed. I hope Phil can incorporate that in the future. In previous comments on Yappie, people were commenting that since West Asian (or Middle Eastern), and Russian’s skin color can be lighter that they don’t count as Asian because they can look like they’re just “white people” (i.e. just a skin color without a culture). It’s annoying, especially since I have east Russian and northwest Asian in my (immediate) ancestry. 🤦🏻♀️ Oh well, hopefully next time? ✌🏻
Only Europe recognizes Middle Eastern as Asians or Central Asians. East Asian looking Russians or Eskimos are grouped as "Native Americans" in the US.
I love this series! Aaand I'm so happy that you know Will Jay ^-^
i love this show so much! thanks for creating a show about asians discussing asian topics whilst keeping it interesting. can't wait for episode four!
I totally love the message of this episode! Been trying to do this in my community so it's great to see this!! YAY!
Omg, I felt it when they were talking about how fragmented Asians are. We’re so divided. Yes, I know we all have our own history, our own culture, and our own traditions/beliefs but at the end of the day we also have SO many things in common. So many of our traditions/cultures are devolved from one another and at the end of the day we all have pride when one of our Asian brothers/sisters are successful. There’s so much hate and racism in the Asian community towards our own ASIAN people and it’s sad 😔 I wish we could all just uplift and support one another instead of hating on each other.
This is my favorite episode so far!

Wongfu thank you for existing! A new video from you on my subscription list always makes my day! xx
I have been a Wong Fu fan for ages, at least from back in the days of the David Choi vids...and I loved this last installment of Yappie. As an OG in the Asian American struggle...this episode made me laugh and cry at the same time. Wong Fu...you guys are amazing and doing great work. I am embarrassed to have not been one of your first Patons...but I will join the ranks of the many supporters today. Thank you for representing.
