Aww. Looks like Minji made a new friend. I think it's also important that Korean parents teach their kids how to treat others. That is very important.

As someone that's also half Asian questions about our race and being told we aren't Asian or we aren't our other race happens no matter where we go or what we are mixed with. Any time I see mixed kids with their parents there's a part of me that wants to warn their parents about what will come as they grow up and how other kids will treat them because chances are the parents didn't think much about that, especially if you're in a country like America where it's a big melting pot. Like my parents never thought I would get bullied by other Asian kids or be told I'm not Asian. My mom believed that because America was so diverse that the kids would be more accepting of mixed-raced people but as she met more people with mixed-raced kids she started to realize that this is such a common experience that we all seen to go through. I hope one day it won't be like this.

Liberia is in West Africa; the country has ethnic groups that look similar. Skin distinctions would be less obvious so the Liberian husband may not have as much experience as the African-American mother with questions on appearance and hair. Minji’s mother is far better equipped to teach appropriate responses than the Liberian father. South Koreans share a history and language. Sub-Saharan Africans, African-Americans, Afro-Latinos, and Afro-Caribbeans share far, far less in terms of language, culture, cuisine, religion, nationality, etc. The differences outweigh what most Koreans might assume. This is a good start and I commend Giggle for sharing the perspectives of South Koreans. 👍🏾

I just hope the dad can help her because he lives in South Korea for a while and has experienced racism structurally in his career field. Although it’s a different perspective since he had years, from a baby to adulthood, to build his self confidence and strong sense of cultural identity living in Liberia. To be honest the African dad probably thinks discrimination is just a crazy concept to grasp because it’s illogical since where he is from everyone is the more or less the same race. Still the dad has experienced sone racism in South Korea, so he should have the tools on how to respond to ignorance thrown his way about his race & culture.

It’s quite weird to still have that mindset knowing the country that you are bringing up your child is. Korea has so many problems and one of it being severe bullying. As a parent, you are not only meant to coddle your child but also teach them how to defend themselves. Korean school kids bully those who stand out, those who have tanned skin, those who have curly hair, those who are from poor backgrounds, those who have one parent who is a non-Korean (they don’t have to be black, I have heard of this case where a half Russian-Korean school kid who dropped out of school because of bullying) , those who are overweight and I could go on. Korea literally is still so far when it comes to equality and diversity. She really needs to understand that before she sets her daughter up.

Not saying it’s bad but having mixed kids should be the least reason to enter into an interracial marriage or relationship. That woman saying she may be a celebrity, like really?

While it's great there have been no big incidents yet, I saw a video of a group of half Korean or Korean by nationality kids discussing their experiences and most of the bad experiences happened as they got older, on transport, in bigger schools where kids are more judgemental, have formed ideas that their parents or the internet have given them that may be ignorant to these things or unkind/racist. While things like that will never go away, yes it may get better but it isn't good to pretend they won't happen and it's good to talk about these things with your child in a way to not victimise them but make them aware of how people can be.

[@vamswolfmom4498]

It’s always said that black moms with mixed race kids are more aware and ready to teach their kids the reality of society. As a black mom raising mixed kids, I sometimes wonder if I over expose them to their reality. My 12 year old has been asking many questions relating to identifying recently and I had to take the time to explain further and allow him to be comfortable with who he is. I hate that we have to define these kids, but to protect them from concussion, we have no choice but to have these candid conversations. All moms with biracial kids need to be aware and ready at all times for the constant questions they’ll have.

Bomi’s and her approach is frustrating to hear but so relatable. This was my mom’s approach when he came to them tackling the differences in me and my siblings versus the other kids around us over younger because she wasn’t affected by it her entire life she didn’t understand how racism complaint role in certain aspects of a child growing up in from really young age being exposed to it and she felt very uncomfortable. Honestly that’s what it is at the end of the day feeling uncomfortable trying to navigate that for her child or children. I definitely think that I understand why she feels that way because I’ve definitely had conversations with my mom now as a grown ass adult about those things when I was younger and hell like our dad was very upfront about it he was very upfront about being himself mixed race and living in an east Asian country Like he did not sugarcoat things about that xenophobia and racism that was going to come from us being southeast Asian black and east Asian mix. But for a mom like middle school, high school age even know, we were already doing well being seen and treated as other by some of our peers as early as daycare because that’s how their parents went about talking and seeing non-east Asian or fully east Asian people and children. Honestly, I feel like it’s more of a conversation that you kind of have to have before you even have kids if you’re in an interracial relationship, especially if you’re going to be living in a primarily homogenous country like you have to have those conversations with like this is going to be very uncomfortable. But we’re going to have to talk to her children from a very young age are able to understand and communicate about how people could look at them and how people could question things and teach them the difference between people genuinely being curious like they’re friends people who have not been exposed to the world yet and they don’t know better and then people who are being ignorant or harsh or rude on purpose, because there is a different tone of voice, and children can pick up on it me and my siblings definitely did. But it is understandable how about be something that’s a little bit harder for her to try and like comprehend. Things were not a lot of women in East Asia are used to not speaking up about certain things just grinning and bearing with it so when it’s something that seems like an uncomfy type of conversation either going to have to have I definitely see , and understand why it’s harder for them to have this conversation. It’s not a lot of families in a lot of places over there still have a better seen is not heard mentality when you come to women so the idea of having to sit there and have these uncomfortable conversations regardless of what they’re about is it something that a lot of them are easily able to do. The idea of having to have these conversations or some thing that’s hard for them to digest in an of its self.

[@isa_virtual]

I mean, if these people feel so uncomfortable acknowledging racism towards mixed kids, and find it hard to help those kids navigate through world, why are they having mixed kids anyways? 🤡 like you said, these things have to be discussed about before conceiving babies.

[@XGaMeROo]

I think this video should be shown to kids in school and get them to write some opinions about their thoughts or experiences or what they'd do if they had a peer who was like them and what's right and wrong to do, and essentially so the goal is for them to realise there isn't much difference. Rather than ignore it and pretend it'll never happen or they don't need to know about it. If we learn about our own culture, why not others? the world is not just where we are.

[@makutumafwa7496]

@@herstorylives7405 Most people from Katiopa(endonym for Africa) have a very different approach to racism. They will see it as schizophrenia. For instance, if you encounter a person who suffers from schizophrenia you won't try to educate them, you just avoid them and keep on your merry way, and that's it. Unless the person has the physical power to endanger your life, they won't sweat it at all. Maybe that's the mentality of the dad. You just focus on what you can change, and you can't really change somebody's stance or heart on racism, so you don't focus on it, you don't give it your energy, you don't allow your emotions to be ruffled up and you don't feed the kizidi(egregore) of racism with your thoughts and negative emotions. That's it. And it works ...in interpersonal relations.

[@gianellab.4953]

What I understood is that they'll deal with it when the time comes. I think there's good in Minji's mom's approach, but I also think it can prime her kids to think race all the time. That's how my cousins were raised and *everything* was (and is) a racial problem to them. My parents never talked about race or racism with me until I got bullied for being black in school. Probably, if I had learnt to deal early with the situation, it would have hurt less, but I'm also grateful I didn't, so I didn't interpret everything as discrimination and had an innocent and careless childhood. My parents always said race doesn't define me, and I think it's a pretty good message to pass on kids.

As it is, Korea is misogynist, it will definitely be misogynoir. But with that said, she does need to ALSO SLOWLY embrace her child to know how to protect herself and have the confidence to navigate in the society that is still not used to "differences". Jenny has also said she STILL deals with such. So as she grows, it's not going to be easier, get better or go away. But instead acknowledge it and find a way to HELP her NOT guard her, from what is happening (especially as she will be exposed more on SNS).

On the photo with her father, Bomi reminded me the main character of an animated movie of my country (I'm french) named " Dilili à Paris "

[@eridonstewart9973]

It’s really interesting the way the parents are having a deep important discussion and the kids are just innocently playing in front of them

[@SCottLARock19]

They are beautiful little girls wished we lived in a world where there could be peace and love.

As a blackasian i understand your concern. But ignore those trolls. But I'm so lucky & bless by family & friend's who accepts me for who I am. Honestly i also experience racism and discrimination just because I'm a mix race asian filipino. I also experience negativity comments & judgemental person about my stereotypes, that I'm not asian enough, or black enough. But, because of full support my family who loves me no matter what, i became more stronger & better person. I learn to ignore those haters who trolls me and be proud for who I am now. I met so many friends who really love me no matter what color I am. Just be brave and stronger for them, give them a full support and love. Just ignore those haters. You guys are amazing parents you are lucky having those child. God bless you & fighting 💪🥰❤️

[@elizabethnelson10]

OMG they are so cute together. It's like trying to keep puppies apart when all they want to do it play!

[@our_verse96]

Ah so happy seeing these two cute kids having fun together🤭It’s a good thing talking about the difficulties of being mix race and how to solve it. It’s not easy but they seem to know what to do and make their kids confident and comfortable living in Korea👏🏻Applaud to the bravery! I hope everything goes well for both parents and the kids❤They will grow up in a loving and amazing state.

[@homiekeen23]

It would be nice to have places that are known amongst mixed families to go to , so the kids don't feel that they're so weird or so alone in their difference. Not saying isolate and only go to mixed places, not at all, but it's extremely helpful to have somewhere where you feel 100% normal or 100% like everyone else around you, even if for short periods of time, but regularly. (From personal experience)

[@raivazquez175]

They should meet Jenny Park

[@Trinity25Apr]

It's great that they are having this conversation. It's sad that it's necessary because of their choice to marry outside of their culture, how great would it be if it was simply accepted. The girls are a credit to their parents, so well behaved and despite the age difference they played so well together. I hope they continue to communicate after this. They are both bright, beautiful girls,Minji's twin brother Jun is handsome and clever too, Korea should be proud of the fact that they have Korean heritage.

[@isa_virtual]

listen, everyone should be aware of racism 💀 not only when they marry someone who's black.

[@yvlani]

Minji meets a new friend! Very nice. The girls are great , especially expecting them to sit still so long, while parents discuss issses Bravo.

Now, Giggle, I liked y’all before BUT after featuring my fav girl #JennyPark 💕(and inviting my fellow American, Diana’s family)…ahhh, I seem to like y’all just a tad bit more 😉👍

[@marchelleminerve8760]

Excellent interview and much-needed conversation. I hope the kids grow up without much concern that the rest of the world and its cast system places on people of color.❤

[@feehanfan9079]

Minji and Bomi need a play date. It would be cool for Minji to have other little girls to play with.😊

[@니니-x4y2k]

Minji and Bomi should meet Park Jenny!!!! 👇

[@arbitrarylib]

Bomis mom needs to talk about race with her daughter. She will look to you to guide her. Dont abandon her because YOU are afraid. You're giving the burden of her understanding her place in the world alone. You're scared but she's even more scared of facing rejection. It hurts but learning to face it you find your courage.

[@goosekevin420]

I just finished watching the video where they do Bomi's hair! So I'm glad to see Bomi's hair is still being well taken care of and nicely styled!

[@rushelleforrest8733]

Minji singing super shy 😂😂😂😂

[@link3523]

미국에 이민간 한국인들이 얼굴 왜 노랗냐는 질문받고 놀림받았다고 그걸 인종차별이라면서 격분하던데 우리나라도 똑같네. 우리나라 사람들은 뭐 크게 별거 아닌거에도 인종차별이라고 격분하면서 자기들이 하는 행위가 다른 인종에게는 차별이 된다는 것에 대해서는 더 대수롭지 않게 생각하고 교육이 잘 안되어 있는 편인거 같음.

[@dayangnaziehah7114]

their kids sooooo pretty tho 🥺

[@mandandi]

Kids just naturally make friends and find activities to share. It would be nice if these families could make it a point to make dates for their children on a regular basis.

[@robynabadie5861]

This is very good i had to do the same when my children were young they are Japanese, and white and black. ❤😊

Both of the girls are absolutely adorable... Looking like their Mothers 😍

[@nicolenorman4686]

They are so cute ❤

[@dw7312]

I don’t know why because they are beautiful human beings. AND the person exhibiting racism is SUB HUMAN.

[@LeliaVoinea]

Bomi looks so much like her mother the same facial structure , smile and eyes. She is so cute!❤

[@87Otter]

the issue here is neither of the korean parents understand how to talk about race with their kids. Its important and you must build child confidence to not run into issues as they get older

[@AA-qt1hi]

I thought they were sisters! So adorable. It's amazing how cultures mold people. There was a point in my 20s when my awareness was expanded big time when I realized that skin color wasn't limiited to geography because many places are becoming meltiing pots of a sort. I hope these kids grow to recognize that they can pull from both their parent's cultures and it is a big advantage!

[@tendousfingertapesatori2972]

This video was made on the same day that lady did their hair

[@ARajantara777]

Yeah

[@ShanneshaBaughn-pu8cb]

Awe thoses two are so adorable 👍 cute little girls there so pretty ❤ theres nothing wrong there mix or half there beautiful

[@FezCaliph]

Didn’t realize how long ago 2020 was till she said she was born then 😅

[@kimleemoon]

Minji & Bomi are so cute. ❤ However I feel Bomi will grow up with self-esteem issues because her mom is too lazy or too ignorant to teach her the skills she will need to survive as a mixed race child in Korea. Her mom is living in fantasyland expecting a CHILD to “naturally” deal with bullying, teasing and discrimination. That way it takes all the responsibility off of the mom to properly parent and teach Bomi. If she didn’t want to do the work, she shouldn’t have had a child with a black man. She doesn’t want to force “anything” on Bomi when it comes to a different culture, but already has Bomi’s future as an entertainer planned out. She needs to do better or Bomi will suffer. 😢

[@georgie9722]

Rgth!

[@kimberlymackey4417]

Stfu how are you gonna sit here and judge her parenting, first of all it should be the DAD'S JOB to teach their daughter about racism and prepare her for those situations since he's dealt with it before

[@georgie9722]

@@kimberlymackey4417 Nothing bad, no judgment. Otherwise the experiences in my family, my children all have a husband or wife of another ethnic group and I did the job for my grandchildren whose mother living in her reality did not return Taking into account these problems experienced, this is not the case for my daughters. otherwise, I really liked that we showed a Korean father and a Korean mother. It's really well made. I am a therapist.

[@nicolenorman4686]

I think the mum participating in this shows that she will actually try a bit

[@DreamiMusho]

​@@kimberlymackey4417 No it should be both of their jobs because children deserve better and shouldn't have to learn on their own when you have two people who made you. Since they made you they need to take charge otherwise we will end up with no more generations of good, Understanding or happy people who can say they know they're backgrounds.

한국도 인종차별에 대해 진지하게 공부해야됨... 본인들이 인종차별한적 없다지만 해외에선 이미 한국 인종차별 국가라고 낙인 찍힘

[@Zôfiëmakeup]

When I was in PK it really bothered me when kids would ask out loud questions or say derogative words to my father and I. What bothered me the most and often made me not want to go to school, was seeing the parents of the kids group together and laugh at us or give us mean looks and also hearing kids repeat comments that even at 5 years old I was aware that they probably heard those from their parents.

[@papichris4117]

love and bravo to you both keep showing world love doesnt have color its what in your hearyt

I hope they become life long friends. So adorable.❤ ❤❤

[@이상민-k2i]

한국의 인종차별은 다른방향으로 봐야 됨. 외국인이라고 무작정 차별한다기 보다 외국인에 대한 존중 자체가 없음 관심도 없고. 너무 폐쇄적임.. 그냥 외국인이니까 한국 좋아서 왔구나. KPOP 인기 좋구나 딱 이 생각만 가지고 있음. 이 모든게 과도한 국뽕으로 인해 생긴 현상... 이래서 요즘 인도나 인도네시아 같은 국가에서 한국인은 다 무례하고 거만하고 자기들만 잘났다는 식으로 한국은 인종차별 국가로 낙인 찍혀서 이미지 엄청 안좋음

Blasian babies are literally the cutest

[@whatsupyallitsurgirlkanae746]

Not the girl liking newjeans and there is a member from newjeans named minji to

[@광동아재廣東大叔]

Raising a mixed race kid in Korea is not like it would be in the US or in Europe where you can see different races almost every day. Especially when the kid is a blasian. Real problems rise up when the kids grow bigger and start attending school. That's why most of them leave Korea eventually.

[@AtarahChannahAshar]

At first I thought they were siblings until I played the video and heard from separate families. More should meet eachother so know others like them living in same country etc.

[@notaspeck6104]

3:36, it was never not natural tbh, if you raise two kids of a different ‘race’ together they’ll most likely see each other as family. It’s the prejudices of adults that poison children’s minds.

[@juliannanobrega4601]

Minji looks just like her father

[@Musicislife0613]

I was wondering why Minjis dad looked familiar and than they showed the family pic with Dianna 💜💜

I hope everyone knows the world is changing. We are finally entering a world where everyone is mixing their race and i love it! If you ever have mixed kids please teach them both traditions and languages 🩷

[@shakitashontajones]

These ppl erk my soul. They treat their kids like side shows in a circus for every one to look at.

[@aliciajames8038]

This is cool I love how their answer to why is your skin brown is because " I have a foreign parent!" I wonder does Minji speak English fluently and Bomi Nigerian?

[@Chels4hair]

Minji speaks Korean and English fluently. I'm not sure about Bomi, she should speak her native African tongue fluently as well as English.

[@エミリ-v1l]

wooow they look so alike ! Their face shape, nose, etc I am black but I do not know if they look similar because they are blasian Black / Korean? :O

[@Kimmy234L]

Maybe she thinks, as she said herself, racism won't be a problem, because she'll be making money from exhibiting her daughter on social media, modelling, music star.... Too many parents like this.

[@thomasgreene8054]

Good to see these two Biracial children being healthy and cheerful. I hope we get to see Chevalier de Saint-Georges in Fate Grand Order because he had a fencing match with Chevalier D'Eon in real life history so it's weird only one is in the game.

Let’s end, colorism and conversations like this are helpful and can erase ignorant stereotypes perpetrated by others about people of color.
