    I’m Belgian and i grew up in West- Germany and i currently still live there. I love Daniel’s way of thinking. His thoughts on how some historical places get literally erased/ demolished just to be replaced by (insignificant) hypermodern new stuff to fit in today’s world, instead of trying to preserve the true beauty of their past history is so true. Daniel is one fine and authentic young man who genuinely cares about tradition and the elements of past times. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Greetings from Germany ☀️ PS. I‘ve lived In a house that was actually bombed in WW2. The destroyed parts of the house were replaced by new elements and down the hallway on the floor the architects integrated memorials to always remember us of its history. That’s an impressive way to preserve the beauty and ugly of the past.

      It is not necessarily being interracial kid. You might live in a country where has so many regional languages and has its own national language on national level. You can speak more than one language by that circumstances. Like myself, I can speak Javanese (Mother language), Indonesian (National Level), English (on academic and professional environment). Of cource a lil korean from its k-drama. Lol

    As a mother of two half Korean teenagers, I am very pleased to find this channel and watch this interview. The interview was very well done and particularly Daniel’s approach on North Korean architecture is very thoughtful. One distraction is the camera angle. Why doesn’t it capture both of them in one frame when it’s necessary? It’s strange to keeping showing one person when the other is talking.

    He seems like a really nice guy and almost criminally handsome.
    I'm German and I didn't even think about how he stems from two countries that have experienced/are experiencing separation until I got to that part in the interview.
    I have an East German and a West German parent, so I'm a little bit of half/half :) Which doesn't result in any major problems or discrimination of course, I (growing up in the West) just got kind of angry when people started saying stupid things like "East Germans are lazy and don't work", or that they wouldn't go to any universities in Saxony, because they have "ugly accents", stuff like that. Especially the thing about the accents annoyed me, because some of those classmates who said that had rather thick northern German accents, but somehow felt like their way of speaking was more proper.

    It is interesting how much you look like a cousin of mine when he was younger. His mother is American of Scottish, Welch, English and Holland descent. His father is Cree (Native Indian/First Nation Canadian) and French. My Uncle went to Korea 10 months before the Korean war. He evacuated during the war and returned to Korea for the rest of his life. Because of him our whole family is very interested in South Korea. One of my cousins married a North Korean adoptee and had 4 daughters. Another cousin adopted 2 Korean children. We have a multi racial family. Some others are Black and white and Arab and white. I think it is good to know our roots and learn the cultures of those countries of origin. I study family history and try to learn the cultures, and histories of each generation going back in time. I am glad you are looking into your own too.

I was 19 when the reunification happened in Germany and I always thought back then, and still think today, that Western Germany has overrun Eastern Germany. His answer actually is very wise, and human. BTW: I have a Greek, Croatian background born in Germany :)

  • @Elythia
    @Elythia 5 лет назад +4

    Well, our brain is a very simple tool and likes to create categories like boxes, where it can put things into. Race is one of those boxes. I will quote an article from NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC here: »All non-Africans today, the genetics tells us, are descended from a few thousand humans who left Africa maybe 60,000 years.[…] Beneficial mutations tend to be passed on to offspring and to spread through a population. […] In regions with less sun, lighter skin allows the body to absorb enough UV rays to synthesize vitamin D.«
    Source: www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/04/race-genetics-science-africa/
    After sharing this information we can hopefully leave »the idea of races« aside for a moment. So what we can actually talk about is »culture«. The cultural background of our parents and the culture we grow up in. Those things, also our native language(s), have an influence on us. Like how we think and how we behave. And certain ways of thinking and behaving are associated with a certain region.
    Personally I don’t believe that people want to change their personality to completely fit in somewhere. Instead most people want to fulfil their need of belonging, since this is a basic human desire. But you can also belong to a group of friends, your family or your partner, to have something to call »home«. This is also a more healthy approach, in my opinion, since you can not change the people around you. But at least you can decide how much credit you want to give to their opinion in the future.
