How to break the social stigma for Asian women | Ginny Hwang | TEDxDominicanIntlSchool

[@ThuyTran-rc9gh]

A white guy asked me Are you Chinese? I said No, I'm Vietnamese. 5 seconds later he asked me What did you say you were again Chinese? It's funny because he never told me where he was from because this was the first time we met, but I asked him you're from Boston, right? And guess what I was right because he responded by saying How did you know I'm from Boston? I asked him if he really was from Boston and he confirmed that indeed he was from Boston. He said he was born and raised in Boston. Funny how during our whole conversation I showed him more respect than he had shown me about where we came from. In my opinion the guy wasn't very smart not just because he didn't seem to care about where I came from but because of his behaviors and he was old and working at a minimum wage restaurant. The thing is that I couldn't figure out if he asked me if I was Chinese because it was so natural in America to assume someone is Chinese because they look Asian or if it was because of his own stupidity.

Who in the world that's a gut felling

[@shimmer4771]

A lot of Americans assume all Asians are Chinese. It's annoying. I'm not Asian, but my friend told me they call her that Asian girl. So rude...

[@RunhdeepS.Sandhu]

He was probably trying to ask you out...white guys know that you asian women all dream about them...

[@your_spirit_guide]

More and more Caucasians date and marry Asian women nowadays

[@kahilmclaurin8271]

She did a really good job. She taught me something as well and it caused me to realize how uneducated we as a people are when it comes to our actions and how we think

Good job Ginny!!! -by. also a part of Yale Model United Nation😊

[@charondolls]

Brave, thank you Ginny Hwang for raising this issue in regards to asian women in our society.

[@janellesouvane1380]

thank you for this topic very powerful

[@Deymilichaba]

loved it!!

[@angiekelley9038]

Ginny is right about the 'Immoral' stereotype. My dad knew a lot of sailors back in to the day who married Asian women who just wanted to use them so they could bring their family to the US. My dad knew this one guy who married (I think) a Philippine woman and brought her entire family to the US and then she divorced him once everyone was here.

[@ukindian8533]

Hahahaha😁

[@grantchow13]

To Western culture, we all look and act the same... Born,raised and lived in Western culture my whole life but will always be considered an “immigrant”. Even get told I speak English well ? To which I reply “so do you !”

Awesome!!

[@your_spirit_guide]

I noticed that more and more Caucasians are open to dating and marrying Asian women nowadays. Can always see them in my country

[@danleyl8254]

As an actual Chinese citizen, what's even more embarrassing is: when you know people ask you "Are you Chinese?" out of ignorance, stereotypical thoughts or racism, you have no cool answers to fight back with attitude (like at least asking "Why do you assume all Asians are Chinese") coz you ARE Chinese for real……That's hella annoying

[@Dashomin]

im white and honestly i am ashamed of myself for being white

[@scalabrineplayoff3pt46curr7]

blue heart that's why you go marry Asian girls and have a kid to make your white Gene go away so you feel less guilty m now the baby will only have half guilty white colonial Gene.

[@talkattitude9401]

blue heart, I was already ashamed of you before your birth!

[@Ohfishyfishyfish]

I am also ashamed of you.

[@TheAnnaMarie]

blue heart never be ashamed of who you are and never let someone make you think you should be ashamed

[@3l3ctr0mania3]

You should never be ashamed for who you are or your ethnicity. You’re not responsible for anyone’s actions other than your own.

[@veramann]

Asian girls often prefer White boys over other races. In fact, interracial marriages between Asians and Whites consist of about 70% Asian women and about 30% White guys. So if you're an Asian guy, just look at this stat.

[@ukindian8533]

@BRANDON DAVIS that's a study done by whites. 😉

[@3l3ctr0mania3]

Asian women don't face discrimination or racism. They benefit from racial stereotypes.

[@dastreetspart3370]

hahaha. nice try. a bit lazy, but you tried.

[@MyHoangxx]

proof?

[@emmazilla8356]

I’m Asian and I really don’t like the racial stereotypes people put on me

[@3l3ctr0mania3]

Benefit? Do we benefit from discrimination in the workplace? That our accomplishments are because we’re ‘asian’ not because we tried? That we have to be the best or we’re not asian?

[@guysovereign]

@@3l3ctr0mania3 Please presents evidence to support those statements.

[@657111221]

She should return to her ancestral home and see how racism - if this really is racism in its real meaning -and discover that Chinese, Japanese, Koreans have similar attitudes towards all other races - White Black and Polka Dot. Please stop whining everyone.
