My dad's from Honduras and my mom's from Korea we had a very hard time adapting to the US, people would stop me on the street to ask me why I was tan and Asian my mom could barely speak English so I had to translate everything, and my dad had to work like three jobs at a time just to be able to feed me and my sisters saranghae omma♡ﾞ te quiero papi♡ﾞ

You're definetely not korean . you didn' even write that in hangul

[@ceecee3263]

+KookieTime just because you did, doesn't mean she did. plus ethnicity don't matter, I can speak Spanish when I'm not even Spanish myself. I speak 3 languages. she also said she's Mexican, maybe she can't speak Spanish either, but it doesnt mean she isn't Mexican or English just because she didn't use the language correctly. I speak Tagalog but doesn't mean I use the characters to write because you do not have to for someone to undestand.

[@sthefanyferrer7365]

+ceecee Bruh , listen . Even if you're partly Korean , You should at least know how to say I love you , And Korean has a really easy alphabet , its not the same as tje complicated chinese writing system . And yeah i speak English but Im full venezuelan , and Im pretty fluent in korean myself so , Ethnicity has nothing to do with race . She herself said "My mom couldnt speak english so i had to translate for her" , That means she should be AT LEAST conversational in korean. See my point?

[@sailorlunamarii]

White people, no one is saying your parents don't make sacrifices for you but it's not the same. When you're an immigrant you come here with nothing. You have to learn a new language, and still get mad fun of when you don't speak it perfectly. You have to start from the bottom. You work hard while you live your days knowing there are people who don't want you here. This is something white/European immigrants cannot relate to. My parents are now citizens but because of the color of our skin there are still places we won't get hired at. I was born here and I still get told to leave this country all the time. As a white person, you will never know what that feels like. The sacrifices are just not the same.

I'm not Latino but I really can still relate to them all as my parents are also immigrants. It's amazing what they went through for our generation, especially compared to how easy they've made life for us... We literally owe them our lives and we owe it to them to make them proud of our generation after they sacrificed so much to give us this amazing opportunity. This is why I will always love my parents unconditionally :)

My whole family immigrated from Mexico in 2000. I was around five years old around that time. I'll never forget my Dad working 6 days a week from 5am to 11pm. We use to stay up waiting for him so we can see him. I feel like I'll only be able to repay them if I succeed in the life they have given me. I want to give them my whole world. Thank you mama and papi. You are my world.

this comment made me so uncomfortable omfg

[@user-pf3vz3rd9h]

My dad was an immigrant to the Middle East, in his early days there he used to work as a laborer in construction. He told me he once fell from a height on the ground and a nail passed right across through his foot and he couldn't sleep the entire night, kept crying, not because of the pain he was going through.. Because the pain of being away from home, away from family.. Being completely on his own,with no one to comfort him was way unbearable. 😢

[@person-ce8cr]

did he come legally?

[@user-pf3vz3rd9h]

@@person-ce8cr Of course, why would u ask that?

[@leebug4718]

I remember one year (I think I was going into 5th grade) and it was the day before the first day of school and I stayed up all night crying cause I couldn't have the cool book bags everyone else had. Instead I got my moms old book bag because we just didn't have money. I was crying and crying and the next day for school I had a brand new sparkly bookbag and now that I'm older I wonder what my parents had to give up just go get me that bookbag. I feel guilty about to this day and I wish i could've understood the concept of sacrifice

[@aryanisbookcave7272]

My dad left my family when I was about two to give us a better life, and when I turned six years old, my mom took my younger sister with her to the US to meet up with him. I was left in Central America "suffering" while my parents worked their butt off to give me the education/life style I had there (although they didn't know what was actually happening) even now, they still work their butt off so I get a good education. I always blamed them for leaving me alone, but I know that everything they've done is for our family, to give me and my siblings a life that they themselves could never have. As much as a pain that they are, they are also the ones who have given me the chance to be someone in life.

[@HarshG26]

A real touching story, hats off to your parents and for all their handwork, you are blessed to have them, make the most of your education and make your parents proud, best wishes and may all the blessings be with you :D

[@kenyagonzalez1282]

Eating food on the floor of our apartment as a family and just laughing and smiling at our stories when we came back from school, even though you would have such a hard time at work. Leaving your home to live in a country where you couldn't speak the language. Enduring high prejudice because you had an heavy accent or were a different color of skin. Being a stay at home mom because you couldn't find a job even though you were a university professor in Mexico. Leaving behind your family even though your mom was super sick and you just wanted to stay and take care off your mom. Missing your moms funeral - missing your family especially when you wanted to mourn with them. Working such long hours and working late nights. Quiting your schooling to find a new job to take care of your son when he was sick. Gracias. Gracias gracias gracias por todo lo que haces para nosotros. Thank you.

[@irisnroses1889]

man this just makes me think about my family and makes me thankful. i remeber eating bread and Bologna and how excited my brothers and i where if we got cheese. living off of $90 for food a month for a family of 5. sometimes when had no electricity. it sucked my mom was always working i dont think she slept more than 3hrs a night...

Mom you went through that river before I was born to give me a better life and now when we visit your family I look down on it but as we cross it and thank God for you. You risked your life to give us a better one and there is no way I could ever repay you. I love you Ma.

[@92LovePeace]

I'm so thankful for my parents. They've done so much for me and my sisters as well as their grandchildren. They work so hard to give us anything they can. My mom is still working and my dad recently retired. I remember when I was in third grade and had trouble with math in school; my mom gave up her job to come to school during the day to help me. I will be forever thankful to her for that. She always made sure we had food, warm beds to sleep in, and clothes on our backs. My dad still works so hard to make a good home. He's constantly working on the house and when ever I need him to fix something for me, he's always right there. We go on camping trips together every year, it's our thing. I love doing it because I will forever cherish those memories. Thank you, mom and dad for sacrificing everything for us; for always making sure we had what we needed. You mean the world to me and I don't know what I'd do without you. I love you both with all my heart and soul.

Crossing the border alone with two 2 year olds, a 7th month old baby and no money must gave been tough. i dont remember anything, but her retelling the story brought me to tears. It is because of her that i don't take anything for granted and am striving for a good carrer because its time i take care of her and give ger everything she deserves.

I see a lot of ignorant comments on here, so I'll clear some things up. No, this does not take away from non-Latino white people. No, this isn't all necessarily specific to Latinos. Latinos are a multiracial people. Some Indigenous, other European, others African and many who are mixed between these. Yes, white, non-latino, people struggle too. All foreigners are treated differently. European foreigners who do not speak well English do get made fun of and told to go back to their country.

[@ninetiesanime6984]

unless you're white and privelged

[@cindycindyshine1]

Hi, what you are saying is technically correct...all parents do sacrifice one way or another to help provide a better life for their children. But I would like to add that these videos are made so people of that certain race can identify and relate with each other. There are specific identifiable issues that immigrants with children face, that are far more different and much more difficult than parents that were raised in their own country face. Immigrants face discrimination, language barriers, and have to work harder simply just to survive. So, race really does matter in the quality of life and privileges one gets.

[@giannism6875]

My parents lived in Kosovo in 1999 during the War and genocide, my mom barely escaped dying one night as the soldiers came and killed her father and took her mom and sister then burnt their house down. She never saw them again and walked for a few hours through a war zone along with other refugees to her boyfriend’s (my dad) house who was the only person she knew she could go to. She lived with his family until one day my dad saw an application in the newspaper to move to America, he filled it out, then they forgot about it and a few weeks later by chance won the prize and got a package with plane tickets and a few hundred US dollars to move here. So at 19 and 21 they moved to the New York area by themselves not knowing any English, my dad a construction worker and my mom a waitress. They left virtually everything they knew behind to come here and start a family. They still have never gone back and my dad has only kept in contact with his mom over phone, he couldn’t go to his dads funeral a few years ago sadly due to financial reasons. Honestly I don’t know how to repay and thank them, I really related to some of the people in this video. So I think u can understand why it’d make my blood boil to read comments like urs. Who really has the audacity here?🤔

I'm very lucky to have the parents I have. They've been through so many of the struggles mention and millions more. I remember when I first asked my mom about how her and my grandparents came to america, she looked at me and cried. After telling the stories of her troubles, I cried too. I may not have as much as the next person, but as long as I have my family that's all I'll ever need. They've both already given up so much for me, I just wish I could repay them and give them so much more. Here's a story my dad tells me about all the time: When he was young, he never got to travel anywhere with his parents because they only had enough money to get by. He would travel with the basketball team when they had away games (my mom the same with volleyball). The farthest he traveled was Arizona and the team got to see the grand canyon, which to him is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Ever since that day, he told himself that he was going to work his hardest so that his kids wouldn't have to struggle and he could take them to all the places his parents couldn't take him. He kept that promise even though he would have to work harder. What are some of your stories?

Its weird how the video about black families is the only one that got a bunch of hate...weirdd

[@SmittenInLove]

LITERALLY what I was thinking smh

[@Clearoutcloset]

Where is the lie? *sips tea*

[@Watermelon_Man]

That's cause people don't think their race is better than every other race but that blacks are below every other race.

[@averagecitizen9565]

Obviously you're not reading hard enough because the same comments were on the asian one and this one. There will be plenty of racist comments on the white one too Oh wait There won't be one.w

[@mb-ms6mx]

the thing is you have to look hard for the racist comments on this and the asian one, on the black one you dont even have to look, just glance and see everyone had something negative to say about it as if the struggles werent real or didnt matter.

[@zlDefcon]

As a hispanic 19 year old, its sad watching your parents grow old from working 8+ hours everyday. My father missed the death of my uncle, my grandma, my grandpa, and yet he still wakes up at 4 am every morning for us. Thats a challenge in itself. I just hope I'm made of the same thing he and my mom are made of.

[@americatorres3978]

Buzzffeed, STOP chopping onions whenever I watch these types of videos

[@jonathanaguilar7448]

This makes me cry my mom left Mexico when she was 12 now she just turned 40 and she has not seen her mom or any of her siblings since she left makes me cry every time

[@ordersithysith9733]

It's good to see this. as a Caucasian who came from poverty I see what they went through and what my grandparents when t hr ough. NEVER LET THIER LABOR AND LOVE go unknown. love this video reminds me of my youth

great video! without our families sacrifice we wouldn't have the opportunities that we have today.

[@victora7310]

Beans and rice because we couldn't afford anything else, Donation clothes No car Pero al final del día nunca faltaba techo y nunca faltaba felicidad ^But at the end of the day we always had a roof over our heads and happiness was never a issue ^ Thank you, Mom

[@jenni9951]

i will never be able to be brave enough like them to tell my parents how i.truly feel and.for.them to do.that infornt of thousands of people shows that they really care . I hope that one day i.can do the same

[@translanguager]

me rompieron el corazon con sus historias. besos y abrazos a sus parents, y a ustedes.

[@ksaint7308]

I cried like a baby for the Asian , black and Latino video about their parents

[@MultiBelieber100]

What kills me is that my parents have been working since they came here and they're still in the same place, don't know English very well or buy a new place all because there's always bills to pay and mouths to feed and since I'm graduating in a couple months I want to go to college and get a decent job so I can repay them for everything they've done for me and my brothers, they have my word.

[@ChrisCorner123]

Where are all the white people complaining about not getting their's like on the black video?

[@WatchHeadsRoll]

There are a few of them, but I bet it's not even mildly comparable to the hate on the video about black people, from my previous experiences with this channel.

[@kellylovesbeautyxx]

+Mike Jorisch STOP COMMENTING THIS. WE DONT NEED COMPLAINS

[@colombiansweety01]

Ugh this made me cry I started to think of the sacrifices my mom made for me she was in college when she had me and my grandparents and auntie had taken me to Miami while she stayed in Colombia and I was away from her for two years she did this to make sure I was safe because it was dangerous in Colombia at the time and after two years my mom could not take not being with me and dropped out of college to come get me multiple times she worked 2 jobs while I was growing up to make sure I had I ever wanted and she's still doing it now working two jobs so I can go to college and focus on school. She's given up so much for me and my little brother and I don't think she will ever understand how great-full I am for her. Even though she always tells me that she wishes that she could give me more, she does not know she's already given me the world....

[@thatgirl3458]

I'm grateful i never had to face those things and my parents didn't immigrate though it was really easy for them. They provided us with a lavish lifestyle here in our own country for which I cannot thank them enough in words!

[@tiptipzz]

waiting for all the negative comments like on the black people videos

[@jari3080]

I know right people are so rude

[@13202LO]

For real! That's what I'm looking for! Smh. The racism in this country is real af.

[@88BeEazy]

I was looking 2...but its no where 2 be found smh

[@alejandra1za420]

It's not all about black people you guys have everything in this generation lots of independent black people who are successful black president people love your music and more so why still complain? Just because you guys got negative comments why should this video get negative comments as well

[@fuckthisshiet3594]

JumpStar25 As far as I see there are little to no negative comments on this video. But I cannot say the same for the video about black people. There is a certain colorism going on. People of different races who are all colored too (Asian, Latino) tend to get treated better. I hate when other minorities act like they get treated just as bad as black people. Not saying that they don't have their own problems, mind you. But it's frustrating it's like, "no, you don't know what it's like to be black just because you are a minority. We do not get treated the same way." I also noticed that when black people talk about their problems everyone is telling them to get over it. But when it is Latinos, Asians, Feminists, Gays, etc. I see more people being supportive rather than hateful.

[@iamhannahmontana1153]

*Children From White Families Reveal Sacrifices Their Parents Made*"Thanks mom, for sending me to rehab. Like, I totally get it now"

[@DominicanMerida]

So let me get this straight...some of you really just came here to talk about how the other video got so much bashing....so..you want this video of another minority to get bashed as well? --_-- anyways, I'm a latina and I couldn't relate to them that much because their stories are coming from Latinos who were born in the U.S. I was born and raised outside of it so the way I saw the struggles is different. Something that keeps popping up in the videos is that some of them didn't understand the struggle as children which is something that you don't commonly see in children born in 3rd world countries. When you're a child, you definitely notice all that's happening and you have to grow up a quicker. It's a different experience.

[@Jour_Den]

You totally missed the point. No one's asking for anyone to get bashed. They're only pointing out the fact that everyone left negative comments on the video about black families but there's barely any negative comments on this one nor the one on Asian families. .. I wonder why that is. 😒

[@gigiblack2231]

+Jourden Toliver who cares?

[@Jour_Den]

+gigi black Me, the four people who liked the comment, and you since you cared enough to reply to a comment I made a week ago.✋😘

[@gigiblack2231]

Jourden Toliver Just because I replied, doesn't mean I care. Caring is much more than replying.

[@Jour_Den]

+gigi black Thanks for the second response... Though it does seem like you have lot of time on your hands!

[@NikkiHarrisFilms]

Being 2nd generation, the resonates so deeply. No matter where you're from there is no greater love on this earth than the love parents have for their children.

[@madelinemedellin1500]

1st generation and I thank all my accomplishments due to the fact that my parents left all they knew behind for my siblings and I to have a better future then they ever had or could give us back in Mexico. Thanks to them I have a college degree and my dreams are not dreams but a reality.

"i work as hard as i do to make you proud, and ill never stop because you gave me that drive" oh man, the feels are damn real today...

[@mony13454]

Made me think about all the sacrifices my parents have made, from leaving their families back in Mexico and coming here just to give my siblings and me a better life than they had when they were kids, also to the fact that they work so many hours just to provide us with all the necessary things..❤

[@naty9948]

Even thou this is was touching I don't think it gave Hispanic immigrants justice, having Cuban family and coming from a Colombian family who all worked and still work their asses off

[@kulsumh1334]

The Asian immigrants and this Latino immigrant vid has no hate. Asian immigrant one had a Muslim girl crying about how she treated her mom. As a Muslim that me proud to see people comforting her and relating to her. I was so happy that the comments didn't have any racist comments against Latinos and Asains...but the black vid got sooooo much hate and that just makes me angry. Why? I don't get why people feel the need to say their ignorant comments on here when they know they can hurt people. It's sickening. People are getting shot at for the color of their skin. The hate inside you and your close minded self is the same. One just expresses their hate better. You sit behind a screen. (You is not to the one reading, but to the racist pieces of crap)

[@nightlythoughts4701]

I love these videos, but I REALLY wish there was one that was titled "Children Reveal Sacrifices Their Parents Made" No matter what race, almost everyone goes through something. I just wish we stopped focusing on different races and focused on the race we all are: the human race.

[@abigailgutierrez3744]

NightlyThoughts true

[@nightlythoughts4701]

Christabel marie I know, I understand that completely, I just wish we didn't have to focus on specific races. Labels are horrible things, and these videos are just keeping labels attached to people. I don't want to view people as black, white, latino, asian, or whatever. And I sure hope our future generations don't either. Labels are stupid and I want to work on removing the labels... but these types of videos aren't helping. :/

[@tentenonmymind1387]

[@valentinareyes6684]

My parents immigrated from Mexico to Florida when my mom was pregnant with me. And they sacrificed everything for me and my sister. They worked all the time just so that we could get what we wanted and I regret being so ungrateful and being so awful to them when they did everything for me and my sister. I love my parents more than anything

[@danielaleon2346]

my dad came when he was 16 and he really did many sacrifices and he is still making those sacrifices he hasn't seen his mom in soooooo many year I can tell how much he has accomplished

can you do one on adoptive kids..?

[@yarirzacidelyarce5179]

i would like to see a video just like this one but with family that have immigrated, not only their parents, the kids too. Like the story of current immigrants. Because those are barely little examples of how it really is.

[@browsethatchannel]

Of course my parents being brought over by my grandparents from Mexico when they were little, they had it very rough being in America working in the fields with low pay and working in different jobs with low pay. They had to learn English without any help and be the translators for their parents because they spoke zero/fee words of English. My mom had to work two jobs and go to school at the same time in order to give us the best life we could have possible and help us get by. I may never know what it was like to be in the position that you guys were in but I now know why you push me because you want me to have the things you didn't have and get the opportunities you guys never had. You broke your backs in order to make sure I didn't have to do so as much in the next generation and I appreciate you all so much

How am I being ignorant?

[@jeremybarrios3805]

I'm so thankful my parents never gave up cause if not they would have only made it to five years and that would have been it, and I wouldn't be alive. Thankful for the life you gave me and two younger siblings, always putting us first, even when you guys need something the most, making sure our happiness came first before your needs. Very thankful for the support you give me constantly on my choices in life, (even if not all of them) and never ever stoppee believing in me. Los amo mucho y qué dios siempre los bendiga.

[@WhisperILoveYou1]

wanna thank my mom for everything she's done and is still doing for me. How she left Mexico, her family, her dreams behind to give my sister and I a better life than we would have back home. She's the strongest single mother I've ever met.

[@Nevastopcashin]

All I see is do blah blah blah or why didn't you do this race or they're not the only race that make sacrifices. Calm Down!!!!
