When people talk bad about you in a foreign language but you understand... 🇻🇳

- 🇻🇳 We're at the Vietnam-Chinese border, on the Vietnamese side, that is! This is the city of Mong Cai. It all started off great, with a nice meal of noodles at a Chinese restaurant chain. After that Max and I went to search for ice cream, which was someone of a failure. Due to that we decided to switch gears and get milk tea. Little did we know we would meet a stupid customer calling us "covid". But it's okay, it sure did feel good to turn around and tell her to her face that I knew exactly what she was saying. She sure was surprised, embarrassed, and at a loss for words. Hopefully it teaches her not to assume things about people next time :)

![Chino Pacas - Modo Capone (with Drake & Fuerza Regida) [Video Oficial]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zjv8TQ0gBkg/mqdefault.jpg)
A note about the video since it's getting a lot of views again - 99% of people in other countries, no matter the country I've been to, are incredibly nice. Don't let this one woman deter you from traveling or get a bad image of other places. Between the languages I speak and the places I've been, I very rarely have crap like this happen. Thanks for watching and keep exploring!
@Ultrahoon still getting a ton of views though 😂
How many languages can you speak?
@@graysontan507 Chinese (mandarin), Vietnamese, Urdu, and just a bit of Spanish.
23:03 the girl insult him
I'd love to learn Spanish. My wife is half Mexican. But it's so hard for me to learn.
The sad thing is knowing that child is being brought up to those standards...
Truth...
That was my first thought
@@chrismixlewis I wish you'd blur out the child's face though. It's creepy to blast a toddler all over the internet
@@AlexeiArntzen OK KAREN YOU DONT HAVE TO WATCH HIS RUclips EASY PIECE CAKE BYE NOW
Nope, she will learn different things when grow up. Most of the uneducated is aged people, the young one is better.
For me, if i see a foreigner i wont talk bad about them. Tbh, i actually feel happy because they’re visiting my country.
Seriously. If anything I wanna know what brings them there. Not to pry, out of legit curiosity. Some folks visit counties for weirdly cute reasons.
@@MediocreTCG yup, some visited other countries to see how the people struggling in day to day basis ( only if u visit 3rd country / developing country ) and some of them visited a well established country to feel the environment there.
@@MediocreTCG Some tourists who visit 3rd world countries romanticize the day to day struggles the locals are facing and we despise them. Some even begs for money from the locals to fund their travels. We call them 'begpackers'. The best course of action is to report and deport them.
Most tourists are fine, though, as long as they respect local customs
Same

"If these foreigners have COVID we'll die!" She opens her mouth widely to say with her mask fully off.
ik. Recently it felt like Vietnam's on an ironic downward spiral, talking as a Vietnamese.
@@donnycorn3086 people just show their true color now because fear and stuff. It's always been there just hidden away.
@@thh1226 you do have some points, but I don't think that's entirely the case. To put it simply, people here don't actually mind that much in socializing before Covid, but now that there's a risk within communication, a lot were put in stress and there's no reliable source of information to base on. And as it goes, troubles began with fake news, something that never has been that hot in Vietnam since 2019.
And correct me if you will, but Vietnam has always been an open country to the world, yet lacks self-awareness in most time.
@@donnycorn3086 yes, you are right but fake news only hot now is somewhat wrong because no matter what people will do everything for fame on the internet. I've seen a lot of fake news since 2010 and there's some that are just stupid but people agree with them and follow them. It's because the people have self awareness issues (like you just said), they also very very superstitious and will believe anything if a lot of people also believe it and that created a chain reaction.
@Donny Corn finally, this is the first time I’ve seen a disagreement and nobody goes into a full blown fight
Mad respect for you for calling her out!! most people just ignore the situation but that just empowers people like her to keep doing it to other people. Love your content bro
Like the saying goes, you can find Karens in every country and race.

Hmm 🧐 yes it appears all humans share like 99.99% of same genes, including the infamous Karen gene 🧬
Yup even yellow ones 😂
she even looked like a Karen holy crap. like exactly is you took a Karen and made her asian. it's crazy

I have been living in Vietnam for 7 years now... my wife who’s Vietnamese and I always get called things behind our backs. When I was first here I could see her getting annoyed, but she never let on to me how much we were getting catcalled, then I learned more of the language and now I understand, and, like you, I call them out instantly now... much to the joy of my wife.
What kinds of things do they say?

I live in.france as a foreigner, it's notuch better here even if I speak the language..
23:07 She let her mouth ran without any thought in her mind. She spoke it loud because I believe she thought her idea was funny and she hoped someone to join her bullshit. She definitely learnt a lesson :)
What she said was rude but she wasn't exactly wrong. They were foreigners, and IF they had covid they could've spread it 🤷🏿
@@playdoug12 No she was wrong, that’s like saying anyone that comes to the U.S. from China has Covid, its fucked up and she should be ashamed of herself.
@@scoobydoo3453 She didn't say they have it. She said IF. IF anyone has covid they could spread it, obviously. So like I said, the way she said it was rude but she has a valid concern regardless.
@@playdoug12 It is still wrong because even if thats your way of thinking it shouldnt be said outloud. Whats the point? If you feel like they could have it then just stay home.
@@playdoug12 how about the fact that she were saying it out loud WHILE PUTTING DOWN her mask, IN PUBLIC?
First time my dad and I tried a Vietnamese restaurant in his Houston neighborhood he spoke to the waiter in Vietnamese as he’s a fluent speaker. He got the usual compliment on his fluency and they exchanged pleasantries. As the waiter headed to the kitchen he passed an older man at the cash register telling him in Cantonese to watch what he says as the old white guy can speak Vietnamese. Dad also speaks Cantonese.

I had an English person tell me that I shouldn't be speaking a foreign language in the UK because 'we speak English in Britain'. He said I should go back to where I come from if I want to speak foreign.
My reply was 'I am where I come from' and few choice words.
I was speaking Welsh....in Wales.
Lmao, what a story. People are idiots eh? Thanks for sharing.
I'm from London and have witnessed this attitude unfortunately many times there is a superiority complex with some of the community here, and many will never know the splendour of embracing another culture by talking in a another tongue, they feel English is superior and more useful globally ..therefor will not learn ..... such a shame.
Lol! Mixing with them English foreigners eh! Did you get a nose bleed crossing the border then taffy?
@@jagz888 Here in Berlin i was invited to a dinner party with 14 other people and was told, because one of the guests couldn`t speak german, that we should speak english. I thought to myself sure why not, it would be rude not to do so.
After the meal i asked him, how he liked berlin und how long he will be here for his vacation. He looked at me and said "Vacation? No no, i am living here for 8 years now and i love the city"
I am sure either you or me would not expect, that 14 people had to change to another language, because we didn`t learn the language of the country we are living in for years.
@@The_man_himself_67 I get a headache whenever I cross the border and hear the English failing at using their own language, let alone trying to dictate what language other people should speak.

@@pomporomi 😂😂😂😂
Serves her right boo hoo for her she gonna get pounded if she steps foot in America LMAO
The look on her face was priceless !!
Happened to me and my mother. We are Brazilians, live in Brazil. Brazil has a huge Japanese immigration, and after five or six generations, they are completely integrated to our society (just like... well, everyone else, actually, we are a very mixed country and very proud of it).
So, my mom and I were in Liberdade, a place mostly occupied by Japanese, in São Paulo. We were eating in a very crowded restaurant, when those two very old Japanese ladies couldn't find a place to sit and eat. So, we naturally offered the other two chairs in our table. This is a very common cortesy here, we do that all the time, is special to old people and pregnant women.
So, they sat down and immediately started to talk in nihongo (Japanese language) to each other, without any idea I could understand every single word.
They looked at my mother, a big smiling and sweet woman (even if she didn't understand a single word they were saying, it's in our culture to always try to be gentle and smile to everyone, in special foreigners) with tanned indigenous skin and yellowish eyes... and started to loudly whisper to each other, laughing and even pointing, referring to her as "saru". Saru, for those who don't know it, means "monkey". And when they noticed I was looking, my smile disappearing, they laughed even more, loving the fact they were probably confusing me as well.
I let them talk for a while, but even being proud of my patience, this situation reached my limit very soon. So, I stated 'to my mom', in high and clear Brazilian Portuguese for the entire restaurant to hear, how it was funny how we opened our doors to receive everyone from everywhere, but some still refused to learn basic respect... If you enter someone's home, the least you should do is to respect the owner, right? But no, apparently, even 'monkeys' show more respect and kindness than some old and very disrespectful people...
The two imediately stopped talking, looked at me in horror, hurried to get everything and run. I just smiled at them, as my mom, sweet as she is, could just stare, very confused at the entire situation, without a single idea about what they were just talking about her. The staff, all nihongo speakers as well, and just as annoyed by their little act, applauded. I was even gifted a croissant by the owner. Apparently, it wasn't the first time these two ladies were disrespectful to the Brazilians on that same restaurant, but the staff couldn't confront them and most of the targets couldn't understand their language. So, when I did both, everyone there liked it very much.
Always be respectful, people... It doesn't cost anything, and you prevent to be caught acting like an idiot, like these from the video and all the situations on the comments. Thank you, you're welcome.
Csb
Proud of it being "very mixed". That's one of the reasons your country is so fucked up. Globalism is not a good thing.
SHHHHHHHH, YOU ARE BREAKING THE ILLUSION THAT ONLY WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACIST LOL

His girlfriend is vietnamese and he has been in Vietnam for a long time now....That's why his vietnamese is pretty good now
He speaks fluent hindi also.i saw his videos when he was in india..
I’m blonde and blue eyed but live in Mexico. . I live in an area where their aren’t a lot of English speaking people, and I speak Spanish. I’ve had it both ways. Someone says something nice about me, or someone says something nasty.
I love the look on their face of shock when I call them out.
Once I said thank you to a little girl that said something sweet and she blushed. It was so cute.
Do you live in a border town or rural area? I find that in the big cities people speak Spanish to me without batting an eye (especially in Monterrey, where güeros are a peso a dozen).
maybe is normal because racist americans (not everyone) say to hispanic people "don't speak taco, speak american", and then when they are in our countries they don't speak our language a bit
White Mexicans exist
@Phuck RUclips Are you saying the most important thing for you in life is money? That's sad.
@jaehyun lived in america for 4 years ok 4 years yeah, but not too many blonde blue eyed guys

Im so sorry about my country, we have alot mixed opinions about foreigners. On one hand some people are very happy to have you within this country. On the other hand some folk genuinely have a bad opinion about foreigners because simply you look different. You will probably find it more common on older folk too. But majority (include me) welcome you into the country and we appreciate that you put the time and dedication into learning language and cultures. It makes me happy to see a foreigner get to experience another cultur
I think it's important not to generalise everyone due to some incidents. What I notice is many people take some incidents of asians and generalise every asians as being racist. But if same thing happened to another ethnic group and we do the same, it's called racism and generalisation, the double standard.
@kfdhbdj9224 How Nice you are! But Don't worry! There are people like that lady in every country and culture! I just feel sorry that the baby she had with her had to learn bad manners!
As Vietnamese, we don’t claim those uneducated people. What u guys did was sooo satisfying 🙌🏼🙆🏻♀️

She said it loudly thinking everyone was as racist as her...a common mistake.
This happend to me once in Singapore, I may not look like it (people tells me I look like I'm from India) But I am Filipino, so when I was in singapore with my Family, this old Filipina said something about how I look in my native language and when I replied "atleast I'm not as dumb as you" in my native language. She just sat there quitely until the train arrived to the next station. Honestly, it was the best feeling ever, looking at her embarrased face.
In a Church’s Chicken, the Filipina staff said something along the lines of “Why don’t they like spicy?” when my dad ordered fried chicken and specified that it should not be spicy. My dad, who was married to a Filipina, replied “Not everyone likes spicy” in tagalog.
Basically. that branch had a problem with contaminating fryer oil/not separating the fryer vats used for spicy chicken and not spicy chicken. Because I’m a damn pansy when it comes to spice, I prefer my stuff very plain.
Always hated shit-talking and it sucks that its become part of some cultures. Part of me wants to learn another language just so I can reply to shit-talkers lol

'Are you embarrassed yet' 😆 Best comment ever Chris. At work, we had a German tourist make fun of us (We worked at Kodak) to her friend, we let her ramble on for a while at how stupid we looked. My co-worker and I both looked at her, she laughed at us again, then we replied to her in German, each adding our bit, to which she looked absolutely mortified. I guess we got the last laugh that day. I would love to be able to learn Vietnamese but it seems quite difficult. Thank you both for your amazing videos on the wonderful places you live and visit and all the beautiful people you encounter. Hugs from Australia

Nobody noticing him forgetting English lmao. Knowing multiple languages is hard because you'll forget them as soon as you stop practicing, even with your native language as you can tell with him forgetting the word pickle lol. Natural talent to hold in many languages
That did make me laugh a bit haha, and also very curious. I would've thought to know a different language's meaning it would inherently be linked to the native language version, you know?
Like, idk how to explain that, but surely the word pickle in English and the Vietnamese translation of that are always mentally linked together in order to understand Vietnamese in the first place? Or is it more like.. the foreign language you learn gets associated with mental images instead of words, so you see what it is but don't immediately know the word in english? 🤔
Just hard to comprehend how people's brains work lol. Especially since I can only speak one language properly
@@mimthyss I was born and grew up in Romania for 7 years, after 11 years in the UK I'm forgetting a lot of Romanian! So it can take practice to hold onto languages, and i only speak two!
@@dazzeld9704 ohh, I see..!! Well that makes sense, I guess it's easy to fall out of practice even with your native language when you're not really using it..! How interesting ^^
@@mimthyss Very interesting question/comment. The answer is, no, they are not linked at all, at least in my brain, which is why it's so difficult to translate back and forth sometimes, even for something as simple as the world "pickle" It's because all my experiences with a "pickle" in English and a pickle in a language such as Vietnamese are different. "Pickle" in English might make me imagine sour or sweet little round cucumber strips that you put on a sandwich. While the world "pickle" in Vietnamese would make me imagine radish potentially, or pickled mustard greens, which I would eat as a side dish. I have different emotions, thoughts, and experiences when I say the two words. For me they are completely different, even though translation-wise, they would be equatable. Even for a word as simple as dog, "dog" in English makes me think of big dogs liek golden retrievers, while in Vietnam I think of smaller dogs as they don't really raise big dogs much there. Hope that makes sense.
@@chrismixlewis ohh, wow, thanks for the reply! That's so interesting, but makes sense since language doesn't just exist in a void haha. so as somebody actually living immersed in their culture it makes sense you'd therefore make connections to your experiences there, that's so cool. ^^
Chris,
Im Vietnamese - Australian and when my Australian wife and I were over in Vietnam last - we copped the same thing from a restaurant owner... she was having a sook about us looking at the menu and she was saying we were wasting their time etc etc... so I turned around and spoke my native language (Vietnamese) and it blew her socks off and we walked next door and sat down and had dinner there :P.
Good job

Good on ya mate! Always annoying when people speak out loud the things they should just be thinking quietly (or not at all).

The opposite situation happened to me and my friend, he's from France, and we were at the Safeway line up, he said, "oh crap, why always the one line we choose has the customer with all the coupons" ... the lady turned around, and spoke in french, "don't worry I only have 2 coupons, it will be fast" :P
Cannot imagine how embarrassed he was lul =))
Yeah sometimes you run into educated people when you least expect it

As a Vietnamese, I feel a deathly amount of second hand embarrassment when watching that lady. We don’t claim her or others like her 😔
It’s fun reading people’s multilingual stories, but as an only English speaker it makes me kinda jealous 😭😂
I wish I knew when people were talking smack about me, so I could respond back
A person can speak 4 languages on avg, so it's not too late to learn
I'm born bilingual, but honestly it's hard even if it's just my local languages and english(my first/best practiced language)
is that why americans get mad at peopme who arent speaking english near them? hear that one in cancun, mx. fukn mx lmao!
ive been told korean and cantonese are easy ones, good luck learning bro!!
I also with I can always know that🤪😂. Since I’m in a foreign country rn, I am worried sometimes ppl are actually smacking about me but I don’t understand the English slangs they use🤪 or my mind just turns blank when I want to argue back🌝
Well I can speak only two languages one of them is English and other is chinese but sometimes I might talk Thai a little
I was in a department store in Germany. I saw an elderly woman who was having trouble reading the price tags. I noticed immediately that she was a Turkish woman like me. I asked her to help. At the same moment a saleswoman came up to us and said, "No touch clothes. Must have buy." I replied, "Would you please speak to me in German. I am a foreigner, I don't understand you." I have never forgotten that stupid look in her face.
The funniest language mix up I have observed was an Asian guy sat on a train from Hannover to Stuttgart. A German guy sat next him and proceeded to talk english (loudly) for the whole trip to the Asian guy. It was so loud that other passengers were opening luggage to get headphones and several actually moved to another carriage. Not once did he ask if the Asian guy spoke German until near the end of the journey. The Asian guy spoke perfect German and when the rest of the carriage heard this exchange we all fell about laughing. It was quiet after that.
That's just racist
Nah its funny because the german dude trying to be polite and didnt know he could speak german xD and then once the boom is drop boom everyone laugh had the german knew the asian guy can speak german they would have converse in german instead. Rather than racist i find it quite sweet xD

Your channel reminds me of being in Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Singapore. I miss it.
We have a Japanese restaurant here. I tried to speak Japanese to our waiter last time, and he came out with Indonesian. So, I switched to Bahasa Indonesia. 🤣 My husband just laughed when he got so excited. The chef came out to laugh at me and talk in Japanese about distracting his new waiter. I had to keep reminding the waiter of other tables, because he kept coming over to talk with us.
I was in a Mexican restaurant (here in Atlanta) last week and the staff were making fun of my appearance (I have the skeleton of Yoda) in Spanish, just beside me. I don’t know why I let it humiliate me that day, but thats what happened, and I chose to pretend that I didn’t speak Spanish rather than make things more awkward. I definitely regret that now.
I think you should go back to the restaurant and say something, A) they'll never expect it and B) they will get the shock of their lives!! You can do it!!
@@imchezi nah, don’t do this. Racists aren’t worth your time.

Thank you all for your kind replies! I definitely wasn’t the only one they’ve done this to, judging by their Yelp reviews. I was in a lot of pain that day and being on the autism spectrum, my brain was already on overload. I would have lost control of myself emotionally had I approached them that day, and would have left feeling defeated and exhausted. Those douche canoes weren’t worth that. There are so many hurtful remarks and stares I get every time I’m out, this time I just had my guard down. God bless you guys, stay well and joyful 🤗💚🍂🎃

Lol I love that you set her straight. Im from New Zealand and was an exchange student in Brazil for a year and of course learnt the language fluently. Many years later I worked at the Novotel in my home town and like most hotels we have strict rules and fees for the amount of pax/persons that we can accommodate into a room being the max of 4 per room, about 3 in the morning in come a group of 9 party goers trying to discuss among themselves in Portuguese how they can save money so they were coming up with the idea to all bunk in one room and one said " just tell her(me) only 4 of us are staying and that we are only dropping you off but she doesn't have to know that we intend to stay etc" then I kindly proceed with making them a booking. Right when I finalized the booking I started speaking Portuguese telling them all the rules and penalties if they didn't comply or they could simply leave. They ended up booking 3 rooms and it was a good day
💕 So happy & glad you called her out. People think that it's okay to talk mad shit and be ignorant without realizing that ANYONE can speak & understand more than 2 languages. Had an experience like that before.
I'm in NYC (Bklyn), and years ago I was in a store in Boro Park (where I'm now living over 40 yrs later) where it has a huge Hassidic Jewish community. I'm Irish and German but was raised Jewish and knew Yiddish (Jewish slang of German).
I went into a millinery store looking to try on hats, and a woman with her teen daughter was trying on hats and had alot of bags with them from shopping, and I told the girl that I thought the hat looked cute on her. So what does her mother do?? She told her daughter in Yiddish that she should watch their bags- as if I was going to steal them. I was beside myself, and I turned around and said- "Next time- make sure the person your talking about doesn't understand what saying!" She was in shock because I understood what she said, I then turned to the sales girl and thanked her for her time- and walked out! I was more upset that that dork of a woman upset my shopping cause I really liked their hats, but it was a tiny store and I needed to get away from that idiot- nice education you taught your daughter lady!! 😣😡

Hey Chris, love your content and knowledge of various Asian languages especially Vietnamese. I would love to see more “uneducated’ footage. I think it’s important to bring to light because it happens more than people think.
Thank you for sharing this. My husband from the US has put up with a lot of racism in Vietnam during this pandemic. Some people need to stop saying shit like this.
Thanks for NOT blurring her face lol I imagine this happens a lot without people knowing 😤 lol
Top notch calling her out. That ignorance needs to be checked.
Chris speaks Vietnamese in northern accent - so awesome.
You did a great job Chris that you acted professionally by not getting angry at her. Keep up the good job. I enjoy your video and Matt too.

Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going. To have another language is to possess another soul
and thus, we must keep learning
My Japanese is broken and very basic however I'm realizing this, linguistically speaking Japanese stays as far away from the ego as possible basically.

As I'm a romanian living in Italy I went through a lot hahaha. Like, I don't really look romanian. I was working as a waitress in a pizza restaurant and there were these two romanian guys and a girl, the two of them was complimenting my body in a very not polite way, while the girl was talking shit about me. Lol. I really needed all my control to shut up. I listened everything quietly like I didn't understood anything. I even smiled at them. When their pizzas were ready, I handled it to them and I said "thank you and have a nice meal" in romanian. Oh, their faces were priceless I swear. They even said "sorry" to me lol.

I have a similar story.
My grandfathers cousin was in Japan. He's, if I remember correctly, a translator for many languages at the EU headquarters in Brussels, so he knows like veeery many languages. So he was in some kind of train (I don't really know details since I've only heard this from other people, told in a not that detailed way) and there were these Japenese girls who thought my grandfathers cousin looked strange, they had probably not seen many finnish people in their lives so that's understandable. Then they started to talk to eachother in japanese like "owh that guy has some weird clothes" and stuff like that, assuming that he wouldn't understand anything. Well, he didn't straight up say to them that he understands every single word they are saying, but when it was his stop and he was about to leave the train he said to the girls "you have very strange clothes on you, happy rest of your day" in perfect japanese and left the train. Of course, no one knows what the girls reactions were but I'm assuming they were very suprised. After that it's always been a funny story to tell among our relatives.

@@jonasthemovie no, she was being a bigoted Neanderthal. "If these two foreigners have covid, we'll all die". The survival rate is well above 90% and there's less than 15 people (most of whom are on the other side of the counter). She didn't think she was going to die, she was making a scene because her way of living was interrupted.
Oh, I spotted the person with the superiority complex.
Wow! You are just as ignorant as the so called uneducated people that you are making fun of. You are proof that being educated doesn't mean you can't be stupid.
I was at a mall in Sri Lanka with my mom when two girls behind the counter poked fun of her height, and mom responded in Sinhalese to them. The look on their faces made an otherwise shite trip to that country worthwhile.
That’s hilarious 😄😆

Good for you guys for teaching her a thing or two about talking 💩 on others, and especially in front of a child! In this day and age, don’t ever assume but always look at what could be the possibilities. Sometimes I wonder if those people really live under a rock.

I was on a tour (with my Australian wife and in-laws) where our group had a large number of Chinese tourists. I am of Chinese blood and did spend my first 12 years in Malaysia and Singapore. My wife had also lived and worked in China for a few years as well. The Chinese tourists had started talking about us. I said "Really? That's interesting." in Chinese and their shock and embarrassment was just so funny.
Don't know how they can assume that I won't understand Mandarin when I look Chinese/oriental.
On a different note, I had taken some guests at work to lunch and spoke some French that I had remembered from my backpacking weeks in Quebec. They were surprised that I sounded like a Quebecois. I told them that the only French that I had learnt was from my time at Quebec. I had not realised that I sounded like a Quebecois as I had not travelled in France yet.
