I’m a bit older generation Chinese American, and from my experience, I would say Xiaoma’s accent when speaking Mandarin would seem kind of rare for Chinese-Americans. It has quite a strong Beijing regional tone to it, which implies someone who actually grew up in that part of China or someone who learned Chinese as an adult from someone from there. From what I’ve heard, Chinese-Americans who speak Mandarin tend to have more of flatter standard accent, unless they’re joking around or speaking with close family, which becomes like a dialect. Of course it could also depend if they immigrated to the US, and if so at what age, and how or where they learned/studied Mandarin.

[@fuzzzone]

He definitely went wrong by choosing to say he was Chinese-American raised in the US. He should have at least said that he went to college in Beijing or something because, you're right, he has a clear regional accent.

[@user-jk5um1om8l]

ABCs tend to lose the more flavorful regional ‘flourishes’ for some reason. 😂 Equally telling was his English accent - very white as Caleb says. Asian-American English accents are just slightly different (can’t quite put my finger on it, it’s very subtle - like one layer under what may be a Brooklyn accent, or some other thick regional American accent, there’s sometimes/often? an Asian-American tonality).

[@mcRydes]

It isn't really an Asian thing per se, but I notice a lot of Asian Americans and Canadians have a subtle "west coast" English dialect. I think just because they live disproportionately on the west coast and British Columbia. The west coast of North America doesn't have a strong accent, but if you listen carefully you can notice.@@user-jk5um1om8l

Also, the pronunciation of the words in Tagalog was atrocious but the Filipino people obviously will be nice because he is white and white people speaking Asian languages fascinates people.

Hi Xiaoma. Just want to say I enjoyed the video. You don't need to worry about your "existential threat", you speak and sound really good so there's absolutely nothing to worry about. As you know, tiny nuances in accents are actually very normal in every language. Even the "American" accent came from a combination of people who brought it to America, and then evolved in America itself too, it's not even one "accent" depending on where you are in America! TBH, your accent is great for a northerner, and I actually got you on your choice of words when you talked about the cilantro!

I agree, but our American culture is really stupid and people are afraid to do that. Learning to speak like a foreigner in their accent is one of the best ways to learn how to interpret English as a 2nd language. I learned to speak English like a Japanese person, and it's much easier to understand them. You're learning which substitutions they're making due to the limits of their language. English has limits too, like we do not roll r's. Being afraid of offending people has crippled us in many ways. You can bet no foreigner is going to be afraid to try to mimic us. That is a huge advantage.

My Japanese mother tells me that wearing shoes in the house caused other problems besides tracking in the outside filth. Traditional Japanese houses used (and still use) Tatami mats as floor coverings, and if you walked on them with hard shoes (like Geta), the reeds would break in the mat and you would be left with sharp ends that poked you in the butt when you sat on the mat. This necessitated the early replacement of the mat before it was actually worn out. So, it was seen as not only unsanitary, but very wasteful.

Good job on jubilee! As a Chinese American who’s spent over a decade in China, a few things from the video gave away your non-Asianness: 1. When you said “Pocky”; the ultimate goal for an Asian American is to make your parents proud; 2. Favorite part of your culture is almost always food; the thing you said about China resonates more with mainland Chinese; 3. Chinese Americans tend to watch more k-pop, c-pop/k-drama, c-drama than Bollywood. Because I can speak fluent Chinese and Cantonese, it’d be much easier for me to tell that you are the mole.

That's AMAZING! I'm so glad you had such fun on a game show especially one that seemed to be made to find Xiaoman LOL! I'm happy you had fun doing the show. I was on a game show many years ago called Trivial Pursuit America Plays and I was Team America. I'm not an actor so having so many cameras around me and people telling where to stand, how to stand, how to speak was quite the experience. The man who hosted the show was the actor who played Greg Brady from "The Brady Bunch" Barry Williams. I never actually met him I was just recruited in a mall in NJ for the show and I had trivia questions. One of them made the show and because the contestants didn't know the answer Team America won that episode and I was paid $600 USD for a question about crochet. I watched the show religiously when it aired until my episode aired and I recorded it and saved it because I wanted to freak my brother out seeing my face on tv on a game show. It was so great! Unfortunately I was not able to get that episode from the network. I had the money to buy it but there was so much red tape back in the early 2000's and that show was cancelled so sadly I can't get that episode. I can say it was so much fun to film it because I was asked what questions do you think ppl can't answer and I had many. It came down to a very specific question about stitching in crochet that is very different from knitting and while the contestant was close he didn't say crochet. I purposely chose crochet because it's a lost art and while knitting and crochet can look similar and even have similar names for stitches, they are not the same having known how to do both. But yes being on a game show is fucking fun!

[@anthonythomas3848]

XIOMA THIS IS SO COOOOL PLEASE DO MOREEEEE

[@rikmoran3963]

That was one of my favourite videos that you have done. 😁 I loved the way you cringed at various times in the video. 😂

[@Otis151]

You were fine. You were not cringe. Stop being so hard on yourself. You did great and we love you.

[@charlieb9064]

Caleb's like "SEE, SEE, I TOLD YOU I'M NOT CRAZY!!!!!"

[@karen3602]

I think your language skills are amazing. I’ve been watching you since the beginning and you always amaze me!

[@philipread1005]

This was super funny and your reactions were absolutely priceless and ADORABLE!

[@ensontaylor4836]

Im asian, and I laughed so hard in the beginning after everyone saying they were asian, and u said u were white. Idk why thats funny.

[@king.raccoon]

I think your pronunciation of cilantro was the giveaway.

[@CrazyMurica]

Awwww this was so wholesome.. I kept smiling the whole video 😊

[@usugajonathan]

5:09 your face here is priceless lol

[@tpjames2020]

You did a great job on the show. Watching you squirm was hilarious 😂

[@thisspacenotforrent]

Yo so have to do more of these, this was so entertaining to watch! :)

[@Shelleysnail]

Cool. Really enjoyed watching you on this, Puppy, your expressions are so honest.

[@myhlosic]

why are you calling him puppy

[@Shelleysnail]

@@myhlosic his Chinese name means puppy dog

[@joannemckinley2487]

This was so fun to watch! Thanks for sharing your reactions to it. The cringe you did when you said "and I'm white" was hilarious!

[@gaygranola]

I feel like the fact that Xiaoma can blend in so well with these people and rival their knowledge on Asian culture really highlights the cultural disconnect between 2nd/3rd generation American ethnic minorities and their native counterparts 😶 Xiaoma probably has more exposure, etiquette and cultural knowledge than all of those people combined…

[@ryanh7167]

I mean he did live in China for a bit and is married to a Chinese woman too. It makes sense he has some knowledge of that culture given how much of it is now intertwined into his life

[@puppetshack4931]

Love it. Your videos are cool seeing peoples reactions of your well spoken Chinese. I get that when I speak Spanish people start to speak and I have to reveal “hey I only speak a little.” lol love it

[@Dan5819]

LOL! "one secret white guy' -- That's you, Ari! I studied Chinese Medicine for a couple years and we always removed our shoes right inside the door and walked around the building in socks or whatever. Ever since then, I also CANNOT stand wearing shoes in someone's home AND I can't stand watching someone come in my home with their street shoes and trudging all over my clean carpet. I'm convinced that is everyone really thought about it, they also would never wear their street shoes indoors. It's disgusting -- we step on other people' spit, bird poop, gum, oil, etc. Yuck.

[@lisahoshowsky4251]

I saw someone once try to argue no shoes are more disgusting you never know what disease people have on their feet and I’m like, have you seen the outdoors???? If that’s your issue give them guest slippers then but outdoor shoes in a house is wild!

[@thecamillarose9806]

If someone did that and didn't ask looool

[@clarehidalgo]

you didn't have indoor shoes/slippers you changed into?

[@alanamullen2294]

0:46 "And I'm white!!!" X-D

[@stuffedsatire]

I never would have guessed you’d be on Jubilee, how fun to watch

[@richardalonzo2879]

THIS IS GENIUS !! LOVED THE VIDEO !!

[@Ebonforge]

I think you did an amazing job! My children were born in Japan and I don't think they could pull off their "Japanese" as well as you did your Chinese.

[@toddpatrick8254]

Dude this was fun to watch. It was smart to try and head fake with the stereotypes. Smart! Well done my friend.

[@LeeXiaoMei]

Ari! Xiaoma! I watch your channel as an Asian-British mongrel to not feel so alienated by my own culture 😊 At home I am very Chinese, I cook medicinal Chinese foods to overcome autoimmune illness against odds of 2 year survival, but I am proud that I fight this yet I am not accepted by Chinese as one of them. Thank you for doing this Channel and making me feel closer to homeland as an inside-out person.

[@traditionalnative]

Even if people might not accept you, the fact you're traditional is something they can never take from you, and you are valid as Chinese even if people say you aren't. Live for yourself and love yourself, be proud of your Chinese ancestors, they are proud of you, I'm sure of it! Love from the Lakȟóta O'yaté (O'yaté - Nation, People) As a Native guy, I do have to obligatorily say fuck the British lol

[@LeeXiaoMei]

@@traditionalnative thank you so much! That was very heartwarming to hear I really appreciated that belly laugh

[@traditionalnative]

@@LeeXiaoMei I was being serious, but I'm glad I made you laugh anyway!

[@LeeXiaoMei]

@@traditionalnative I laughed at f. The British 🤣🤣 its all good! I wasn’t laughing at you. I rarely comment because taken out of context I worry my responses might offend anyone, so I rarely respond to anyones videos. But this video was important to me, as natives judge their own much harsher. I felt for them saying they never had to prove they were Asian to anyone before. Me? I’ve never been accepted as Asian, it’s hard for me to make friends. So I study everything alone. But I study hard in the hope that I can one day be accepted as well as XiaoMa

[@star-army]

Stay awesome, Xiaoma!
