Kwabena Boateng Hi Kwabena! Living in a country as a multiracial and/or foreigner is definitely an interesting experience it’s been different for me and all my other biracial friends. It also depends on your circumstance, “are you in an international school?”, “are you in the city or the suburbs?” It might be a lot to explain here I can definitely make a video talking about this if it helps❤️

@@AAA-we2st l don't agree. Africans are generally accommodating of others. I recalled many decades ago when black Americans did not want to associate themselves with Africans or African despite the fact that Africans were willing to accept them with open arms. They saw themselves as superior to Africans and white in black skin. However, as they were not accepted by white and racial intolerance that we are still witnessing was not abetting they, including the mixed race started moving towards Africans and started calling themselves "Afro-Americans" instead of "Black Americans" for their identity. Despite the way we were treated we still welcomed them. U know have many Afro-Americans and mixed race settling in Africa and calling the place their home because they are not being accepted anywhere else.

Remember I did not state that I know how Japanese look like from a specific movie. Here you are equating what I wrote with you saying it’s like you saying that you know how Blacks look like from Tarzan movie. Please, Please don’t put words in my mouth. Your thought and my thought are in parallel movement to each other. I don’t deal in racist talk because I know very well that I cannot produce a hair strand of a human being. The Almighty God created all things and saw them to be good. I can sometimes deduct if someone is Chinese, Arabian, Indian, Japanese, European etc from their looks and I know many people do have those abilities. That was all that I meant. We Africans can even from facial outlook tell the country or tribe our fellow African comes from. I don’t deal in racist talk please. If I had seen this post of yours earlier, my reply to your posts to me would have been different. My policy has been to be very civil on the web all the time.
@lalanaw95344 жыл бұрын
This is so exciting for me to see. I have close friends who are Japanese/Zimbabwean, Korean/Ghanaian and will share this with them. The Japanese or Asian and African mixes produces some amazingly beautiful children eh. I am Polish AND Ghanaian and also grew up, like you, with many others of the same mix, also initially in Poland and then Ghana and then some more Poland, now in the US. I will never exchange the experience for anything. People used to be confused, wondering how one can be from both places, but I never wavered in that I am BOTH. Never only one or the other (I guess having both experiences gave me that conviction). The two cultures differed in many ways but overlapped in the most bizarre aspects at times. My upbringing instilled in me a level of confidence that I am so grateful for. It was especially beneficial to me when I moved to the USA. We grew up being the "black/brown" ones in Poland, the only blacks I must add, and the "obronis" (white persons) in Ghana. See why you should never rely on others to determine who you are? wink wink. Being the only blacks in Poland meant we got a lot of attention and stares, comments were 99% positive. I would hear all the white women in our town and village say "oh my god, how I wish my skin could tan like that," or "how I wish my hair could curl like that" or "look at those pearly white lovely straight teeth." We had many ignorant questions about Africa, but not meant in an offensive way. People had no internet back then and there was nothing on TV about life in Africa until Later when scenes of hunger appeared. Then they would say, when we visited for vacation, "please stay, I hear there is so much hunger in Africa." Ironically we had had a few comments from Ghanaians when we mentioned our upcoming trip to Poland; "why are you going to Poland? People are starving there and have to queue for food." "its a communist country!!" That was in the 80s during and after the strikes in Poland. We were often asked which country we preferred. Our answers: It depends on what -Food, weather, recreational activities etc. We said we don't have everything we like in one place but a bit of everything in both countries. That was our reality. I used to be pissed, as a child, when Polish people said "you are Polish because your mama is Polish," and the Ghanaians would say "you are Ghanaian, because your dad is Ghanaian." Now It does not bother me--even though I never felt the need or void of acceptance this experience is indeed "acceptance from both sides." Either side wanting to claim you. I experienced racism (the most talked about topic in the US now) only when I got here, but, unfortunately for the racists, my formative years were rooted in confidence so I am woke with my nose in the air. Sorry for taking up so much space. These are MY experiences.

I can so well relate to what she is saying at 5:35, though I'm born of African parents. My mom is Cameroonian and my dad Nigerian. I was born and raised in Cameroon and after my primary school education, my parents sent me to a boarding school in Nigeria where I did my first three years of secondary education. In the Cameroonian community my siblings and I were always looked at as Nigerians, while amongst Nigerian we were referred to as Cameroonians. We just felt we didn't belong anywhere. I was blessed to have wonderful siblings and parents so we enjoyed growing up with the love in our home. Now living in and a US Citizen I see a whole different issue going on - white /black and I have come to the conclusion that life is simple but it is in the nature of humans to complicate even the simplest issues of life.

I was born in Holland, in 1994 we moved to Ghana and I stayed there for 5 years because I was a borderline delinquent. My parents were strict but, I was hardheaded and so I was also migrated to Ghana as a form of punishment to straighten me out. All I can say is, in my 2nd year of being there, I understood. Ghana also opened my mind and I became wiser through my experiences. Teachers didn't like me not necessarily because I was Western but, because I was a rude and an intelligent kid but mentally lazy kid and they saw me wasting it. They did a fine job, stomping that out of me with discipline. In my 3rd year, I was a straight A student with responsibilities and utmost respect for my teachers and peers alike. One thing that also contributed to that growth was my involvement in Boys Scout. This is one of my most cherished memories whilst in Ghana. The community we had was unmatched. In Ghana, you don't go hungry. Everyone is family and any elder is akin to a dad. If you were caught in some misdemeanor, any parent could drag your arse to your parents with a few slaps up their head and then tell your parents what has been, your own parents would then also agree with the fair punishment and then continue to give you a good fatherly and motherly whooping in front of the other parents. In the West, one may think it's public humiliation but, that's exactly what makes people better unless they are not remorseful. Everyone watches the other, hence the terminology "konkonsa", for those that are familiar with that saying. The best community and love I experienced was when i moved with my family in Kumasi for like 5months.I never realized how big a family I had. My mother's family is BIG, I can't begin to explain how big even but, that's another story. Ghana is great, I haven't been back for over 18 years and I'm now preparing to revisit. I'd like to retire there. We have an 8 bed room home which is being refurbished as it got partially burned by family members we kept in the home, whilst in Europe. Now it's been expanded to 8 from 4 rooms. It's a big project and I can't wait.

@8:44 As someone who loves for his boundaries to be respected, it seems Japan is the country I've been looking for. Packing my bags. lol @9:43 One of the very few things I like about Ghana as a Ghanaian is the hospitality. Having visted quite a number, I'd say Ghanaian hospitality is probably unmatched worldwide. Aside that, there's a lot to dislike about the country lol

@william Khims Last time I checked, Ghana is in West Africa, where parts of the Jamaican ancestry are from. Hence, Ghanaians have familial claim if they so wish.

Thank you so much for doing this video. It was very interesting. I'm half Ghanaian, and my mum is French/Irish! They met in the 50's. My dad had just come over from Ghana with a friend of his. I spent most of my life in Ghana on and off throughout my childhood. I went to kindergarten which is where my mum teached also. My mum who was a nurse then started working in the local hospital which was 37 Military hospital in Accra. She didn't need to work as my dad had his own business but she didn't want to sit doing nothing lol. To be honest, being in Ghana were the best days of my life. I love everything Ghanaian, the food, the clothes, the culture, the people, and of course the country. I went to private school whilst when I was 12 and the first school I went to was Archimota. Second was Ghanaian International School, both in Accra. You mentioned you went to a International school was it the same G.I.S. The funny thing is, my husband is from Barbados everyone is surprised I'm the Ghanaian and not him lool. I felt I wanted to put my 2 cents in lol. Great video and I've just subscribed to your channel. Take care and keep safe. Oh, I just watched the video with your uncle, auntie, and cousin doing the IG reviews and your uncle was funny. I laughed when he chose the bikini photo of you as one of his favourites and your aunt's face in response 😂😂😂😂. I thought he's in for it now 😂😂😂😂 ❤

Hello there! am glad you ladies are making such videos to diminish the ignorances Ghanaians had with mixed kids, I am also mixed, Mom is Ghanaian and Dad is Japanese, growing up in Ghana back in the days was very difficult, as a mixed kid, we were never mentioned anywhere, we were the unfortunate kids, and a taboo not to be mentioned, lots of hatred, school admissions were very had for us cus we looked different, am really happy that this days and age Ghanaians have grown out of their ignorance and hatred towards mixed kids, I just found this video, am happy for M Gotto, you ladies keep doing all you doing to get Ghanaians out of their negative thinking towards mixed kids born in Ghana, by the way in Tema we had about 47 Ghana/Japanese kids of which I was one of them, we’ve all survived and all grown now, if it’s possible have M Gotto send her email I would really love to get intouch with her, kuddos to you girls and keep it up, thanks

The world need to wake up and stop all this rubbish towards mixed race children. I strongly believe the people who discriminate against mixed race people are extremely envious, very jealous of them. That is my believe. I think it is absolutely marvelous having a unique heritage. Please stay confident. The majority of people in the world are fine with mixed heritage. Stay strong.

I’m really attracted to Korean men and my friends are baffled by it. But to me a lot of Asian cultures remind me of African in terms of the pride, richer as in tradition, culture around food, focus on education and business. Korean ppl remind me my naija ppl, and Japanese ppl remind me of Ghanaian. White ppl and monarchs have spent millennials trying to separate ppl. Imagine if we were able to unite
