- Ever wonder if Asians living in the east coast are different than the ones on the west coast U.S.?

Thumbs up if you think Mike should move to Vancouver
I'm with Mike, I love Vancouver and go every year. Most of my extended family live there. And if you love food, the best Asian food is out there, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese. The yearly summer night market is like going to Asia without leaving North America.
***** yep, every morning and afternoon, most of us say thank you as we leave the bus. often the driver wishes us a good day or says you're welcome. the rain isn't so bad, most of the time. but if it snows a few inches we are paralysed. Metro Vancouver (aka the Lower Mainland) and Vancouver Island are the Canadian temperature zone where we don't understand the need for puffy coats, other than to go skiing, snowboarding or snowshoeing on the local mountains. but not this year of no snow
Yes!
we love u too come visit
hahaahha YAYY GO MIKE! I am a true Vancouverite and I love it here too! :D Come visit agaiinn sooonnnn
Thumbs up if you live on the east coast!
East coast all the way! But I'm from Florida therefore my perspective is way different than theNew York east coasters. I'm Chinese btw and grew up with little Asians in my school.
caltech is pasadena? that is socal.
***** THAT IS TOTALLY SOCAL
East coast cantonese girls are prettier. Socal chinese girls that are pretty are taiwanese.
Off the Great Wall Toronto 4 life fool!
Thumbs up if you live on the west coast!!
。SAN JOSE!!!!!!!!!!
Joyce Yu YES!
SF bitches
Does Gold Coast and Sydney Australia count?
Does northwest count?
It would be interesting to do European Asians vs. American Asians, or even among the different European Asians (I'm a Spanish-born Chinese and there are so many differences with a German-born Chinese, for example).
Nice video! Lots of fun.
I love how Mike pronounces words that start with E's... lol
Eat= Yeeeat
East = Yeeeast xD
***** So truuue! I was about to write the same. I wonder what he calls actual yeast? East? :P
I am teaching a Chinese friend to speak English here in Spain (she teaches me Chinese). She calls it Yinglish. Like 英文 I guess.
I like how these are mostly made by Asians, for Asians type videos. Most Asian culture RUclipsrs are weeaboos or are into the whole yellow fever degrading bs, so it's a breath of fresh air. A little off topic but for any future videos, it'd be cool to see a video on Chinese manners and general customs. And maybe revisiting Chinese beauty standards (in both China and the US) and its effects for both male and females (and perhaps addressing colorism in Asian culture). Lastly, some places you guys recommend visiting for people who aren't fluent in Chinese but still want to travel around and have fun. Great video anyway!
Micaela Zelk I believe those 2 girls were in a FungBros video about NorCal and South Cal differences.
Lonelyeco These two girls are different girls. It's probably just a coincidence.
Probably. They kinda look like the other girls. But since I took another look at the original, I see the difference,
Thumbs up if you are in between!!!
Yay! lol Im in Texas.
Kansas
Mid-West Asians! Illinois :P
Bitterblue1030 Right behind Yah! Also a Illinois asian. ^_^
Off the Great Wall I thumbed up for this even if I'm not a geographically "in between" Asian, 'cause poor Midwesterners, they never get mentioned lol.
It's like polar opposites attract - it's either people move all the way to the East or all the way to West - very few happen to stay in the middle.
You guys should make a video of Asian-Americans VS Asian-Europeans! (Specifically Dutch-Asians haha ;) )
This is a very interesting video. I actually have been to New York City and Los Angeles and I felt there was much more diversity in New York. I went to KoreaTown in LA and I felt so judged and I went to China town in New York and felt like the community there was overall very diverse and didn't look at me oddly. Btw I'm Mexican so I'm not Asian. This was a great video and overall enjoyed my experience in the east coast more.
I don't think it's a race thing, though, I think LA is just very judgy. I was born there, but emigrated to NorCal ;)
How do you account for the very friendly Korean people I interact with, whether in stores, restaurants, or other parents at my kids' school? If it's a "Korean thing" why wouldn't they be unfriendly?
xinyiquan666 interesting.
yea i live in nyc and there's a lot of tourists and we're use to it so we don't really care much haha(or at least in my opinion)
The West Coast is more than just California- we have the PNW! You guys need to check out Seattle!
PNW represent! I know how you feel. Whenever people asked me where I'm from, I used to say "the west coast", but almost every person just asked "oh, california?" It got so bad and I got so annoyed, I just specifically say "the west coast, not california", just to remind them that there is more to the west coast than just f*cking california ;) Portland, seattle, and vancouver are some of the best cities I've ever been to.
Nick Mason Lol the three cities you mentioned, with exception to Vancouver, are full of hippies! But that generally makes them very nice people :).
***** And by East Coast, they mean New York and Boston.
I'm from Seattle and I think this city is lame.
And we have las vegas
San Francisco asian here previously living in Boston. West Coast 4 lyfe.
Great video! Btw, Caltech is in SoCal, not in NorCal LOL
I'm 16 and Irish and I have no idea why I find all these videos so interesting😂
good for u for having diverse interests sophie.
As someone from Southern Cal., the Mexican influence is apparent even in this lady from L.A.. I see it in Gwen Stefani and Fergi, etc. but the Mexican influence is a dead giveaway that you're from Southern Cal. You have Asians in Mexican makeup & speech and Hispanics with Asian cuisine and a general admiration for Asian values. The best of both worlds are mixing without realizing it.
This is a good discussion. I was born in the Philippines but grew up in the DMV (D.C., Maryland, and Virginia) area. I have family on both coasts and have been to both coasts. Both Coasts have their own distinct cultures, depending on factors like the weather, socio-economic status and political climates. I am not a fan of stereotyping or pigeon-holing anyone, because I hate it when people do that to me. But discussions like these, hopefully get other productive discussions going.
Vancouver loves you, Mike!! It is awesome that you and dan embrace your east and west cultures with a warm and funny attitude!
California really isn't that great... I was brought up there and visit regularly and while it's super diverse, the public schools are really bad, there's a drought, and not to mention it's expensive af. Those are just some of the reasons of why my family moved. You guys need to visit Seattle because lots of Asians. Like one of the girls said, we west coast Asians aren't limited to our ethnicity and we hang out in a group of various Asians haha
chris1117 Seattle is SF/Vancouver's little bro.
chris1117 omg yes! i've told everyone i know that if i had a choice, i would move to Seattle! Close enough to the West to get somewhat mild weather, yet full of bustling NICE Asian people in general. I did hear it's harder to make friends since everyone is a bit more closed off, but I don't mind that.
Agree. Seattle is still provincial. Very Protestant.
Houston area is pretty great, and there are a lot of Asians. The weather on the other hand...
Oghenekaro Ezekwesili Hunh? You mean too hot? We just over a very bad winter here!! Too much snow!
I was born and lived on the east cost, then lived in Taiwan, and now I live in Hawaii. I don't think I fit into any of these categories.
What are you like then? if that's not a rude question
Not at all. I guess I would consider myself pretty chill all around.
Lardman678 Thanks. Care to be more specific?
Umm, like I don't really stress about too much. I do fine in school, but I'm not a huge studier or anything. I don't really know how to describe it, but I feel like I'm definitely more relaxed than my friends here in California, probably that Hawaii influence.
Lardman678 lol, good for you man!
I think West Coast embraces Americanization but in the East Coast, especially NY, we take pride in being a "melting pot," we embrace and are prideful of your own individual culture and ethnicity. We do not embrace conformity but instead individualism, people often mistakes this as "living in the bubble" as guys mentioned. I simply love NY and the food is awesome here. Where else is a city full of Indian, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Ukrainian, and Chinese cuisines in one neighborhood?! Only in NY, and in the East Village.
that's basically one block of street not 5 minutes from my house. and I live in Toronto. I think pretty much all big north american cities are like this so NY is not at all unique in that aspect.
Yep same thing here in SF as far as food is concerned. Do agree with the Americanization thing though.
Come over to Vancouver - you'll be surprised at the amount of diversity here!
Jyanne Skye Nothing like NYC, that's fo sure :D
***** Yeah, lots of diversity in Vancouver. And even LA, I think. Kind of like Toronto.
I like this video. I grew up in Asia(Hong Kong). I have friends from both west coast and east coast and I see everything you guys are saying. Lol Especially that "3rd type of Chinese" Dan mentioned about east coast, tht is so true!! Some of my east coast friends they talk about NYC, say they themselves are very American, this and that, but seriously, things they do are way more traditional than everything I do in Asia!
Vancouver is the best. I love it here and would not move to anywhere else. Nice polite people, amazing food, many outdoor activities you can do in BC, nice weather (not too hot in the summer and not cold in the winter).
Thank you guys for these videos, I find this kind of stuff so fascinating. I enjoy learning about other cultures, even within my own country. Keep up the good work.
NY is too damn cold and SF is too damn expensive. L.A. has good weather but too much traffic.
CoffeeLover east coast tops west in every aspect. We have all four seasons and our vibe and people are real not plastic.
lol at you guys saying "Asians" when you mean Chinese. The West coasters were like "do you mean Chinese"?
This group was pretty good RUclips chemistry. Liked the fun edits, too.
Dude, Cal tech is in Pasadena. That's So Cal!
I've been to LA and its not Like Boston. People from the East Coast have the best sea food we're so in love with the Atlantic the only bad thing is that we get so much snow witch is a small price to pay because we get the best ocean views.
A lot of these are shared with the white populations of the East Coast and West Coast. People in the northeast, especially in New England are quite reserved and who you know and related to is much more important than it is on the West Coast. Not to mention the serious intellectualism.
Exactly. Everything they were describing could be said about the regions in general.
Spencer O'Dowd Intellectualism......Yeah Your Right...Mass Is Loaded With Ignorant liberal Leftist's!
*you're.
Spencer O'Dowd While I haven't been to the East coast I can for sure say that in the West coast, your own merit is more important than who you are related too or the merits of your family. Though I can't say that we don't consider the "who you know" part unimportant, because, there are a lot of startups as well as a lot of place like Silicon valley, Emeryville, Hollywood, and Napa (heck you can even put San Bruno/San Mateo because that's were the main RUclips HQ is at), so knowing the right person can put you in a good position in your career.
I'm neither asian, nor american, but I'm majoring in east asian sciences here in Germany and well, you guys are so entertaining to watch :) Very interesting!! You got a new subscriber now ;)
You guys are just so funny and entertaining even if you talk about like more "serious" subject, it's just so fun to watch you.
As a born and bred New Yorker, I can honestly say that this city is not for everyone. I personally love it buuuuuuut I know for a lot of people the biggest complaint is that it's just "too much". Too much noise, too much traffic, so on and so forth. But as a New Yorker I say that it's ok not to love the city, just go out there and find what fits you, and that will be the best place for you. 😊
I really enjoyed this video and the panel style of answering questions. I definitely agree with most of you. My mother is Chinese and I've lived in New England all of my life. I love the West Coast, but yes, the traffic is killer, but damn, the food, weather, women, and larger Asian populations offset that by so much. I plan to make my way to West Coast as soon as I can afford it!
Although raising a family may be very relaxed, and suburban in the west coast, I would much prefer the urban life. I would love to have my kids be city kids like me, with the MTA struggles, diverse schools, and the culture of NY is amazing. So many opportunities, and stories. Although its fast paced, if you stop for a second and look around, the colors are amazing!
I thought about attitude: one hypothesis is...winter. Midwest (me) & east coast people (not just Asian) get our ass kick by annual winter while west coast never felt the humbling effects of nature.
This may produce an attitude where west coast people "invulnerable" (it's hard to explain!!! I'm still thinking about this after a year of pondering). West coast are more chill. East coast are more "vulnerable" (winter) and "have your guard up".
"Winter is coming"
I've probably watch 10 or 15 of your videos. All of them are well made and very informative. Thanks.
I thought this video was going to be about Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans and Japanese VS Kazakhs, Turkmen and Uzbeks.
but san francisco has really good public transportation
That’s cap stop tryna make that shithole look good
I grew up in the west coast where my best friends were Chinese/Japanese and Japanese.
Now I live in New York, and all my friends are Chinese.
But I'm Korean.
This video turned out to be much more enjoyable than I expected! As an Asian (not Asian-American) who regularly visits both coasts, I've noticed that West-coast Americans in general tend to be more comfortable with and receptive of different races and cultures than their East-coast counterparts. So, for instance, I would have no qualms over striking up a conversation with a white or black person in California, whereas I would experience a fleeting sense of apprehension in New York or New Jersey if I were to do the same. I'm sure numbers has a lot to do with it: I'm constantly amazed by the sheer number of Asians (both Asian-American and Asian-Asian) in California.
never been to WC
but have been Hawaii you gals fn stunning
i do agree with the point that the east coast seems more intense, more ...i don't know if i want to stay fast-paced, but, it seems more like everyone's in a hurry. while in the west coast, it does seem like everyone is super relaxed.
Hawaii Asians vs Mainland US Asians
Yeah you! Mainland asians dont have anything on Hawaii peeps. We are way more diverse and can speak pidjin. LOL
On the north east we have winter. So we're basically dormant for a quarter to a third of the year. Don't blame us :3
ConWolf exactly it gets cold
Regionally people will always be different. No matter what race, gender, religion people will build influence webs that affect them and how they act.
Caltech isn't in NorCal... It's in Pasadena which is in SoCal.
Asians in generally are flashy with material items. don't matter where you're from.
I am living in NYC, but I'm from SF.
SF is a town compare to NYC.
New Yorkers have their guard up, but it's a front. Give it right to them if they're rude.
I'm from the Central Valley in cali specifically a small farmer city named Delano and there a lot of filipinos here and they hang out with a lot of Mexicans. We love each here lol.
This is the exact same thing for Nigerian parents. You get 4 options: Medicine, Law, Engineering, or Comp Sci. Anything else you 're considered a failure and your parents will refuse to pay for your college tuition and will be considered a black sheep of family.
In my family, my mom and I live together, rent together, and we never thought that was weird. But we are pretty much each others immediate family and don't really have connections with anyone else. There are all sorts of families out there. There's nothing wrong with different family structures.
Interesting video. West coast is definitely more likely to interact with non-Asians, but that is generally true for all groups. I'm German/Scot and grew up in the Inland Empire near Hispanics and Koreans. I dated a Chinese girl from Monterey Park during college. My wife grew up in Torrance. Since she ran with the nerdy group, she had a lot of Japanese friends.
Vancouver has better food than New York? You're crazy, Mike!
I loved visiting New York, but I'm a Bay Area girl at heart. That's home and I adore the diversity!
hahaha! The big head emphasis at the traffic bit was hilarious!!
When it comes to being friends, I don't think it matters. I'm from Atlanta, so most Asians that I know hang out with other Asians... ABC, new immigrants, Japanese, Viet, Thai, Cambodian... I will say though that Koreans definitely tend to stay with other Koreans.... Dating on the other hand... Maybe not so much... I see many Chinese actually going out with white, while the rest all stay with their own ethnic background. Maybe the ABC and new immigrants don't really intermingle quite as much because of a language barrier. Most ABC that I know do not speak a lot of Chinese.. They can understand it. The new immigrated usually don't know too much English or is very hard to understand. Most new immigrants that I knew actually were here learning English.
Dan, CalTech is in Southern California and, you're always welcome in Silver Lake. The major difference is the density of population. So Cal, we're all spread out. East coast, it;s dense with beautiful green space in between.
i agree Vancouver!! I live in LA and traffic starts at 2 and ends at 7, 7 days a week especially in the San Gabriel Valley. If i had to move definitely Vancouver
please come back to San Fran. We have good Asian food also. San Jose , Santa Clara area for family, kid school is better.
Cal tech isn't in Norcal...
Great video love watching you guys thank you
You guys should do a video on Pacific Northwest Asians: Seattle, Portland, Vancouver B.C. too. I'm an Asian living in Seattle and I can't stand most of it. Would love to know your opinions on the NW region :) There's Asians here too!
Not asian specifically related but to me, it sounds like south east UK (London and surronding) and west country. London people are way more direct and blunt and west country people are more chummy but I get a feeling thay west country people are doing it because they have to be nice. it doesnt feel genuine half the time. It's really confusing and a pain. At least in London, if people don't like you, you will know straight away, no one has time or the energy to faff about. But hey, me being untrusting is probably due to having my guard up haha. The subtle difference between North and South UK people is insane too, there even is this little wide spread rift lool.
Great stuff! Very funny. Also cool to see Asians discuss how they get along and perceive each other.
I agree with the ladies, 4pm on a Friday, you're already wrong right there! Friday at 4pm in LA is the start of RUSH HOUR, which is at 5pm M-Th. Also the 10 FWY is extremely congested, especially the Sta. Monica/West LA eastbound stretch. As a nearly lifelong Angeleno, been here since I was 2, I know. No one from LA would make dinner plans with someone in Vegas for the same night. Well, unless you were planning to leave at like 2pm, then maybe... Hahaha... So funny even thinking about it. Whenever I drive to Vegas, I leave in the middle of the night to avoid traffic. Takes me maybe an hour or 45 mins to get out of SoCal, 30 if I'm extremely lucky, then about 2 1/2 to 3 hours to get there. But if you leave at a respectable decent hour, it'll take about 6 hours.
HAHA I AGREE, SF needs to have better food. Whenever I go to NY or LA, I'm always amazed at how much good food there is.
Thumbs up here and you got a new subscriber. This quarter Japanese person is glad he found your channel.
I would say San Marino is more of the Asian Beverly Hills than Arcadia.
I'm from Singapore ;) I visited LA before and loved it. I think I'll prefer LA over San Francisco / New York.
As for locally-born and bred Singaporean Chinese like myself which are usually 3rd gen, we are more like East Coast Asians, probably due to the Chinese majority in the country and the fact that we have hung onto Chinese culture rather well considering the fact that we are still situated in Asia.
I'm Filipino and the Filipino community is very large in NJ. My parents are very laid-back as long as I do well in school and don't do drugs etc. It's very nice here (not the hustle and bustle of the city) in South Jersey :)
i think the difference between the fast-paced life and just being "rude" in general is a GENERAL difference between east coast and west coast people of all ages, races, and creeds! i'm from just outside nyc and grew up here and i didn't really meet anyone from the west coast until high school when i had the opportunity to spend some time in oregon; when i got there, everyone was sooooo relaxed; people would sit outside and drink wine, EVERYONE SAID "HELLO!" TO EVERYONE ... and i was just like "why are you talking to me?" "who ARE you!?!" i know that sounds awful but it's true! i'm really happy i was able to experience both "coasts'" lifestyles because i'm sure i wouldn't be nearly as friendly otherwise!
p.s. i know it's not really "east coast" and it's CERTAINLY NOT midwestern ... but pittsburgh is really an amazing city.... my favorite american city by far! plus you're not TOO far from the big east coast cities. i can't argue with many (not all, but most!) canadian cities though, vancouver especially!
Dan's crazy laugh @3:39. Had to replay that bit a few times HAHAHA
Generally, west coast is more diverse and so call "Americanize" but east coast Asians are more "foreign" and tend to not diverge with other groups.
Nice videos you guys are making~
When u say Vancouver ,, say Canada ,, !!!! Canadian are nice whatever you go eh !
I love LA.. It seems to be cleaner than San Francisco and NYC. The weather is awesome. I would definitely chose to live in LA.
OMG! Caltech is in Pasadena (suburb of L.A.), which is firmly in SoCal not NorCal!
Mike needs to find the holes in the wall in SF. There really are good places to eat here!
I like this. I live in Asia and don't know that there is a big difference between living in different states. Hope this clip is longer. Hope you can say more on why Vancouver is better. Or la better than New York.
Actually there are a lot of fobs and 1st generation Asians in SF too. SF has been getting lots of immigrants and transplants moving in. And there are good places to eat in SF. You just have to know where to go and read them yelp reviews. But other than that, I think this video was pretty accurate. Having lived in both coasts, I have to agree with how you said the east coast toughens you up. People in the east coast are meaner and they definitely put up a tougher front, so they will test you. But yeah, like you said, it's good to at least experience living in both coasts because it does teach you life lessons, gives you more perspective of the world, and makes you a more rounded individual.
how about doing one about asians from the homeland vs asians in america? much more of a drastic difference.
Indian's are also asian but sadly the Stereotypical asian are the Chinese, Korean and Japanese :D the brownies are always left out from the asian bag :D
You guys should do one on Asians who grew up in the South or Midwest. I feel like we're a little different from either West coast or East coast Asians.
I'm from Vancouver (woot!) and moving to NYC (from Texas), eeks, you guys make me anxious about the move haha.
3:54 Damn I’m Asian from the East Coast and I didn’t have a single Asian friend let alone the same ethnicity until I was a senior High school. Most my friends were White, Black, and Hispanic (Puerto Rican and Mexican). My cousin didn’t have any Asian friends until he moved out to Northern California for college.
Great video as always! As a non-Asian living in a predominantly Chinese neighborhood in Queens, I agree with many of the observations here re: 1st generations vs. 2nd generations. But, I don't know if that's entirely an Asian phenomenon because when Queens and Brooklyn was more European a few decades back, the same thing was happening. There was also kind of a 1st generation European "Tiger Mom" thing going on. Plenty of people my family knew who's parents came from Gemany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands were very, very strict. So maybe it's just a FOB thing (no matter where you come from). Also, don't assume that Asians in the financial field are sticking together because they are Asian. I have close family who work in Finance and in general, people in Finance are EXTREMELY tight with each other. They will only associate with people from their company, associates, from their financial college and they have admitted to me that no matter what your credentials or your background - if you aren't related to someone in Finance or come with a close friend's OK from particular colleges, you aren't getting hired or promoted to the good jobs - ever. Financial people live in their own bubble.
Maryland!!!! We have a good asian community(I'm half black half white), and most of my friends are asian, and there are a lot of good job opportunities because of Washington DC
I grew up and still live in the Washington DC suburbs. There are so many Asians here, but they are much different compared to NY Asians. And I have been to Chinatown in SF. Also much different. I think it's more about the city than which coast your on.
On the UW Seattle campus, I've noticed a lot of different asian ethnicities be friends with one another, but there are still a lot of asians who stick to their ethnicities. For instance, Chinese people befriend other Chinese people and Korean people befriend other Korean people. But that might be due to the amount of international students here.
I love San Fran! I wish to live in a suburban part of San Fran that is also close to the city, that would be nice. Vancouver sounds fun, but I've never been to Canada so I wouldn't know
SAN JOSE REPRESENT!!! send them over here to gunderson high ^_^
Omg my dad went to gunderson and my California family lives like 5 minutes from there. I used to take swim lessons in the summer when I was a kid lol
Totally true! East and West coast Asians are VERY different. I grew up in NorCal and now I live in Boston. EC Asians do tend to stick to fellow Asians where WC are more diverse in friends.
There are other parts of the west coast than just California
For example, I like in the Seattle area, and there is a different vibe. Microsoft brings in very hard-core academic Asians, all my friends in school are very, VERY academically driven.
Mia should take Mike to stroll SF's food destinations.
I am interest about Vancouver too as SF is too expensive and becoming to look like NY.
it weird, my dad is in the military and i spent a significant amount of my time in the southeast, i was born and pretty much grew up in the south, i even had a small southern accent). It wasnt till i started watching these RUclips videos of Asian Americans that i realized that that was a big subculture. Out in these neck of the woods its pretty much Black and White. me and my siblings were like one of the only asians at the school. I think we just merged into other races.
I've been living in LA for almost my entire life. Sometimes, it takes an hour to just drive 5 miles, but 10-15 minutes by bike! I am proud to say that I am one of the very few fastest commuter in LA (anywhere north to south, east to west) because I choose to bike everywhere. Though biking is an efficient way, esp during rush hours, you still have to be very careful with car doors opening, pot holes and exhausted/aggressive LA drivers! Mike and Dan, give LA another chance with its people, culture, food and new festivities! There is a new expo line from West to East, super fast. The city is also adding in more and safer bike lanes.
Hey what about the Asians in Montreal? Mike if you love Vancouver then you would love Montreal more.
WOOHOO I'M KOREAN! Living in the east coast. Born in NY but living in ATL GA! I think friend wise is different in the south east coast. 😂
My husband and I are in Philly. There's a big Asian community here. We think the perception of Asians is different by coast too. Ppl tend to think you're fob on the east coast
From Florida here!
I think you guys should visit Toronto. I've been to NY and I feel Toronto had everything NY has with none of the drawbacks. Toronto's Asian population is larger than Vancouver, Asian food is crazy, people are nicer than in NY and Toronto is MUCH cleaner and safer than NY. Vancouver's weather and nature is better though, but Toronto has a big city feel that Vancouver doesn't.
You forgot to include Gulf Coast or Southern Asians compared to Northern Asians .... btw I was born & raised in the south I.e. New Orleans, Louisiana... but it was fun watching your videos...
The best!!! So accurate so far aha
