Half Black Half Japanese boy : Interview in Japanese

[@PolyglotStories]

皆さん、たくさんのコメントを頂きありがとうございます。皆さんからのコメントに対して、私の考えをいくつかシェアしたいと思います。 「タリクはどこから来ましたか？」という質問に対して、私はてっきりタリクが「日本」と答えると思っていました。ところが、タリクが「わかんない」と言ったので驚いて、「タリク日本人？」という質問をしました。タリクが何人なのかについて、私の考えを押し付けるつもりは全くなく、彼が自分のアイデンティティーについてどう考えているのか知りたかったのです。 私自身も子供の頃、フランス生まれのインド人として、学校でいじめられていたので、タリクももしかしたら同じような経験をしているのではないかと思っていました。（私と同様、彼はクラスメートと外見が違うからです。） タリクにあだ名をつけた子供たちは人種差別をしているつもりはなかったと思いますが、1.いじめは差別です（必ずしも人種差別ではないかもしれませんが、少なくとも差別です。）2.子供たちはタリクを傷つけるつもりはなかったかもしれませんが、タリクにとってネガティブな影響があります。なので、これは議論するべき価値のあるトピックだと考えています。 タリクが他の子供たちと同じ様に日本人であるということを、親が子供たちに理解させるべきだと思います。タリクは日本で生まれ育ち、日本国籍です。 （彼は他の国に行ったことがなく、他の言語も話せません。）周りの人々が「タリクはみんなと違う」と言い続けたので、タリクは自分を日本人だと感じていません。私は、日本社会がタリクを完全に日本人と見なしてくれるようになることを願っています。 （もちろん、これは日本だけの問題ではなく世界中のあらゆる国で起こっている問題です。だからと言って、この問題を解決しなくて良いということにはならないと思います） タリクが日本とマリの両方の文化を知ることは重要だと思いますが、彼がダブルであり、二つの文化を持っていることを教えるのは私の役割ではありません（私は日本に住んでいないので、残念ながら彼に頻繁に会うことができません）。私がタリクにインタビューをするまでは、タリクのお父さんは学校でのいじめについて知らず、タリクは学校で褒められるだけだと思っていました。また、お父さんは当然タリクがマリの文化に興味を持っているだろうと思っていましたが、そうではありませんでした。お父さんが教えない限り、タリクはマリの文化を知ることができないのです。

@@titangarg44 Translation Thank you everyone for all your comments. I would like to share some of my thoughts on your comments. When asked "Where did Tariq come from?", I thought Tariq would answer "Japan". However, I was surprised when Tariq said "I don't know" and asked the question "Tarik Japanese?" I had no intention of imposing my thoughts on how many Tariqs were, I wanted to know what he thought of his identity. As a French-born Indian, I was bullied at school when I was a kid, so I thought Tariq might have had a similar experience. (Because he looks different from his classmates, like me.) I don't think the kids who nicknamed Tariq were going to be racist, but 1. Bullying is discrimination (not necessarily people). It may not be racism, but at least it is discrimination.) 2. The children may not have intended to hurt Tariq, but they have a negative impact on Tariq. So I think this is a topic worth discussing. I think parents should make their children understand that Tariq is as Japanese as any other child. Tariq was born and raised in Japan and is a Japanese national. (He has never been to another country and can't speak any other language.) Tariq doesn't feel he is Japanese because the people around him keep saying, "Tarik is different from everyone." Hmm. I hope that Japanese society will consider Tariq completely Japanese. (Of course, this is not just a problem in Japan, it's a problem in every country in the world. That doesn't mean that we don't have to solve this problem.) Tariku is Japan and Mali I think it's important to know both cultures, but it's not my role to teach him to be double and have two cultures (unfortunately because I don't live in Japan) I can't see him often). Until I interviewed Tariq, Tariq's dad didn't know about bullying at school and thought he would only be complimented at school. Also, my dad naturally thought that Tariq would be interested in Mali's culture, but he wasn't. Tariq cannot know Mali's culture unless his father teaches him.

グジーザXYZA グジーザXYZA Children are pure and innocent, yes, but their hateful comments are learned from adults, even if those adults don't realize that what they're saying is wrong. It doesn't matter what country you come from, EVERY country has discrimination problems and EVERY country has people who don't think racism exists or is a problem. And those same people get mad when it's pointed out to them because they themselves have their own prejudices and hateful thoughts, but don't realize that their thinking or upbringing is wrong. All everybody can do is learn to be better and learn to be more open minded. Because while hate and racism can be learned, it can be unlearned too. The organization Life After Hate in the US is proof of that because it has a serious problem with neo-Nazis. But there are plenty of other people around the world, too, who have learned to be better people instead of hateful ones.

I can tell you as a 30-something hafu myself, that after going through the identity crisis stuff earlier on you will find that you are actually double, not half of anything. I think the most important thing is to have both sets of parents love and accept you exactly as you are and teach their children about both their cultures and if possibly the language. It really helps you to be proud of your non japanese side when you know it through the wisdom of your parents! I can tell Tariku has very loving parents who will raise him be proud of who he is, inside and out. When you're little you feel so desperate to fit in but when you're older people actually admire your differences! Gambare Tariku!!!!!

Isaiah ftb I do not understand English. This is Google Translate. He asked his son. It's about being given an unpleasant nickname in Japan. But he doesn't ask his son. About fun and happy things with friends. I felt that this was a biased question. If you really want to know your son's opinions and thoughts, you should ask multiple questions. However, they seemed to focus solely on having their children report discrimination from their mouths. Also, his son seemed to be very stressed by this. At least it looked like that to me. He refused to answer many times. He was smiling all the time, but he was constantly moving. Children may smile or move when trying to escape stress. He asks son what his race is. He seemed to expect his son to say, "I'm black." But that's a bad question for him. Because it means denying the mother's blood that flows to him. So he replies, "I'm half-jin” I think he answered that because he loves both dad and mom. Please do not hunt down the child. That is my opinion. I hope the translation hasn't failed. On a different note, when I was in elementary school, I belonged to the boy basketball team. At that time, the other player called me "Fly". Even though I was small, I was good at clinging to my opponent, stopping him, and stealing the ball. Of course, I am a genuine Japanese person. Not all curses are determined by skin color.

@@mahyar2727 I beg to differ. It's how we tell the kids that makes them think that way. Instead of being considered "half" of something, I'd consider him to be of "both" cultures. I am half English and half Italian, a product of an Anglo and a Latin culture and my two families on both ends couldn't be different. Everybody kept stressing I had to choose a side and decide what I was, but I decided it was like being in a swimming pool: I'm swimming in the same medium and I emerge on one side alternatively or when I want to, because I'm BOTH. It's empowering, rather than detracting.

This kid is super smart. When my sis and I lived in Korea, we were often bullied by children in our neighborhood who would call us offensive racial slurs... the worst part was that their parents taught and encouraged this behavior. LOL. how ignorant some people can be. Anyway, we had a very poor self image as children in Korea, despite loving our culture, people and identifying with it strongly. We did not feel like we fit in. However, my mom's family has always been loving and open and never made us feel weird for being half BLACK. These days Asians are a bit better but the fact this kid has to deal with any level racial displacement at school, is still sad. And he is very strong and smart to not let their word affect him to the point where he is showing his anger. Takes a lot of discipline. So proud of this little BLASIAN kid, whom I don't know, but totally feel for. Let's be better about teaching our kids to accept others the way they are.

なんか無理やり子供に差別意識を強要してませんか？ 日本人が心から嫌いなのは自分勝手に他人に迷惑かけたり、いけない事をする人だけです。 子供同士が思ったことを深く考えずに言い合ったりするのは当たり前のことです。そこから成長するにつれ自分の事と他人の事を学んで行く。こげたブロッコリーって言った子供は想像力、表現力があると思います。大事なのはそれを悪意を持って言ったかどうかの問題です。むしろ大人が子供の言葉に過剰に反応する事こそ子供じみてる。日本人の子供同士だって身体的な特徴を言い合ったりする。それと同じ。 あとお父さんの気持ちも分かるけど子供さんは日本の文化の中で育っているのだから何人？って聞かれても日本人としか思ってないだろうし、そうであるのなら俺は今彼は日本人であると思います。そして未来的にどうあるかは彼が決める事です。

コメントありがとうございます。 本当に過度の差別意識の問題提起は間違っていると思います。 現実や事実や他者のことを自分が気に入らないからと言ってすべて悪として封殺しようとするのは間違っていると思います。他人への自分の願望の押し付け行為は事実を湾曲する事にもつながりそもそもそれも自分勝手な行為でありおかしな事なのです。事実は事実なのです。 もちろんそれが捏造やでっち上げを含んでいたり、他者を不条理に傷つけることをわかってやっている、悪意を持った自分勝手な発言や行為なら論外です。それこそは差別でありむしろ犯罪です。しかしこれは別次元の話です。 大人が子供に教えなければならないのは自分が気に入らない現実や事実や他者に対し攻撃をすることではなく、現実や事実や他者を認識したうえできちんと生きていける強い自我を形成することだと思います。そして自分がされて嫌なことは他人にしないようにすることだと思います。 現実として海外では激しい差別問題があると思いますが自分がいやな気持ちになる原因をなんでもかんでも差別意識に結びつけてその原因を他者に見つけ、必要以上に攻撃するのは危険だと思います。

I am a big fan of you, Christine. I love Polyglot Stories :) I was born and raised in Japan, but my nationality is 한국. I have enjoyed this interview, because I often think about my identity as well. Tariku looks very cute. I like his hair style, too. I think he will be interested in his father's country near future. Also, I really like his father's character. He looks very nice. Their conversation is heartwarming. What a wonderful family. I am happy they live in Japan. ありがとうございます。

[@PolyglotStories]

감사합니다~ I find your comment very heartwarming too Yumi, thanks a lot.

@@PolyglotStories 언니 답장 고마워요 ㅠㅠ 앞으로도 응원할게요~ I am studying English, Korean and German. そして、언니 日本語も한국어も、どの言語も本当に上手です。 저는 감동 받았어요.

I am mixed too. Navajo and white. It's funny to me because I have the same attitude. I did not grow up in the rez or speak the language so I don't consider myself Navajo. I don't look white at all so I don't say I'm that either. I just say that I am American honestly haha

[@japanesesmiles8515]

Great video.😊🇯🇵🌸

[@elevenlee1001]

I wish I could read Japanese's character... it would be amazing if I was be able to understand both subtitles, all I heard only nani, wakanai, gibun (it's similar with Korean tho) mai ichi, nihonjin etc

I started watching this video with a smile but then quickly remembered how bitter Japan can be. My son’s dad is Japanese and even if he looks way more Asian than French or Tunisian he keeps on being called a 外人... Even my physician called him a gaijin, when he’s half Japanese. Japan is so discriminatory, whether you’re a kid or an adult it can be really really hard sometimes!

[@kumanagi]

i’m also half asian half black, this was nice to watch

Haha so adorable! This lil kid's gonna be alright. 😁

[@manaswitar.7185]

He is such a beautiful boy😍 It breaks my heart that kids at school are mean to him, especially for something he is supposed to proud of: his identity. I sincerely hope he grows up to be a kind and strong person, and doesn't let the bullies get to him❤️

[@Galidorquest]

Look at it as the equivalent of an Asian boy in a black school who was teased for his eyes and his bowlcut. Those Asian kids were just making ignorant observations 'cause they're not used to seeing black people in real life. In my opinion, parents should prepare their kids in advance for r cist reactions in such scenarios.

タリクはどの人種か分からないと言いました時、めっちゃ悲しくなりました。学校の子はタリクにいやな事を言ってかわいそう、そして彼らの理由はタリクはハーフだから？それはおかしいじゃん。僕もハーフですけどトロント、カナダに住んでいますからそういう差別を聞いた事がありません。タリクは本当に強い子ですよ〜

[@viswas18]

Hi Christine... Wishes from India. R u in Seoul now...

[@timo1578]

いろいろ考えさせられらますね。日本にはあまり差別がないって思う人、いらっしゃいますけどそれは間違いです。僕は沢山の海外からの友達がいますけど一緒に遊んでる時でさえそれを感じました。今回の件を通してもっと沢山の人がこの問題について学べたらいいですね。タリクくんのポジティブさに救われます

[@rick2jpn]

Since the day I subscribed this channel, I knew something good would happen to my life and this inspiration including all your language learning motivation and such kinds of stories are just the things !!! Thank you for such beautiful content ❤

[@mmlemonade]

He shouldn't be forced to talk about things he doesn't want. If he was an adult, we would have respected his wish to not talk about it.

[@coconutpineapple2489]

She is an insensitive person.

[@PolyglotStories]

He wasn't forced to talk about these things. He didn't really understand why I was asking these questions. Why would I ask his name or where he is from when I already know that? That's why he was reticent to talk at first. I lived the same things as him and that's why I asked these questions, I could imagine he might be living something like this and his dad had no idea. If your adult friend told you that people were telling him awful things, wouldn't you ask at least twice what these awful things were? Would that be considered as forcing him to talk?

[@prabhakanakam2630]

Hi I really like your videos..❤. I wanted to ask you, can you please make a video based on pronunciation?For example the way you speak korean, Chinese &other languages it's so good😍 you speak just like the citizen of that country.i really want to know how can you really speak fluently,like how much time did it took you to speak fluently .I really love languages 😀.

[@loaf9672]

Woaaa... I loved it. Such a nice content, the boy it's so strong minded. Not wanting do diminish in anyways the negative side of the things he said. But I trully believe that this is not just another chance for us to talk about racism and everything that is wrong out there. I see it, instead, as an opportunity to emphasize his strong attitude towards such a pitiful behavior. I believe it's a good time for humans to emphasize how we are all the same, instead of the "respect the differences" idea. Perhaps by enhance how similar we are, the differences will stop looking something different, and respect towards the other beings ought to became simply the next rational choice to take.
