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.

[@toyinrosea9154]

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.

These people who glamorise mixed kids are the reason why some of these mixed kids have identity issues. The world is cruel and some of these parents live in la la land.

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?

[@ligarowe3300]

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.

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.

It’s always said that black moms with mixed race kids are more aware and ready to teach their kids the reality of society.

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.

[@Roseli-nj6st]

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.

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.

@@herstorylives7405 Most people from Katiopa(endonym for Africa) have a very different approach to racism. They will see it as schizophrenia.

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.

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.

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). But overall, I hope people REALLY look at this and think "ah, so there is progress but we still have work to do" vs "UGH, that's just how they are, stop trying to change things to fit you".

I think these kids are growing up in a much less ignorant time so I’m happy to see that they’re already having a better experience at school. I hope things only improve for them. They have loving and understanding family so even if there are hardships they will have support

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.

[@erikm8372]

0:32 Bomi is only TWO years old?? No way… and Minji is six…. ok, her age makes sense, but Bomi being two? That seems like a translation error to me, or something. Lol. That means she’s the most aware, active, well-spoken (she’s spoken more in past videos) 2-year old then! Not saying they can’t be, but that’s like… extremely so. 🤔 😂

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.

[@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.❤

[@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)

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 💪🥰❤️

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

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!

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

[@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. 😢

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.
