@Miguel Hernandez you must have misread his comment because, judging by your comment you refer to Aztecs, you think that all native americans before 1492 in Mexico where bloodthirsty demon worshipers, yet acknowledged the Aztec had many enemies who where not human sacrificing slaveholders who willingly attacked them and revolted to oppose their brutality. Take your strawman argument elsewhere.

She then met my step dad when I was a couple of months old and I can tell ya, they have done and keep doing a great job of parenting. They are amazing people in general, people who help America.

What do you mean by intergenerational trauma?
@Vale-dh1tn3 жыл бұрын
@@toddmaek5436 Trauma is toxic, dysregulating stress hormones released in stressful situations/environments. It happens inside you and shapes how you view and react to the world based on threats from past stressful situations. It’s intergenerational (meaning past down from generation to generation) because 1. Epigenetics and gene expression 2. What you don’t heal and process through therapy, you inevitably pass down to your children. Just look it up to get more information and then come back to the video to see exactly what I mean.

@@toddmaek5436 The trauma talked about includes: Poverty, witnessing and participating in war as a child, escaping communist revolution (China and Venezuela, abuse, corporal punishment (is physical abuse), death of close family members (grandparents, aunts and uncles mentioned), parents fear that child will be bullied so they force assimilation, parents fear that child will lose culture/language so they force them to learn/speak language, recurrent yelling/screaming at children when mad (is verbal abuse/violence), mental health issues in parent especially in childhood if went undiagnosed and untreated (ie, depression), never talking about feelings or banning/punishing emotional expression, childhood mental health issues undiagnosed and rejected by caregivers, religious persecution and discrimination, racial discrimination, fear-based parenting, never feeling good enough for parents/caregiver,....... The list goes on and on. All of these examples create dysregulating toxic stress, and it is more damaging if recurring or for extended periods of time. They affect the mind and body physically and emotionally. The affect the way a child’s brain develops and their psychological blueprint which all directly affect physical and mental health for a lifetime.

@@toddmaek5436 let me give you another example in addition to the ones above. My parents were racially abused. My mum had a knife held to her as a teen by racists because she was Indian. I never knew this. But growing up any time I did anything "not indian" e.g. wanting to go on a date, she would say "oh so you think youre one of them now". Because of that I didnt date until my mid 20s and lacked the social skills. Its stopped me assimilating and feeling part of my country. I feel like an 'other'. After I found this out about my mum/the knife it made sense - but it doesnt change the fact the trauma was passed down. Now I don't easily fit in even with people of my own background because this wasnt a shared trauma that everyone experienced. It sucks but it is what it is.

We do have white privilege, and especially in my community, many of us are white-collar, but at the same time, especially in today's political climate, it's difficult to see your country and people vilified. I feel like - and I would say this is true for all immigrant communities, it's just that I can only speak for my own - often the "positive" aspects of your culture and the struggles you go through are ignored, while the negative aspects are heightened and used as blanket statements.

Looking at him, he definitely gets white privilege until he opens his mouth, or is asked where he’s from. He actually had an FBI investigation, due to someone thinking he was Muslim.

When the girl in red, Christine, said she wished her parents told them that they were proud of them, that made me tear up instantly. You always feel like you are not good enough, that they are always unhappy with who you are, even if they aren't. And it's not like you can just ask them if they are proud of you, because when they say it after you ask, it doesn't feel real. So, it's very conflicting. Wishing they would say they are proud of you, but you can't ask them because you won't believe them even if they told you so, or you are afraid they would say they aren't proud of you. All I can do is that if I ever become a parent, I would say that to my kids. Make them feel loved, and that they belong.

After many years my answer to this issue is simple: if they can't do what they ask of you then they have no right to criticize you for your shortcomings. Tiger moms sometimes annoy me because their expectations of their kids is hypocritical, because if they and their husbands don't have a natural tendency for study and learning then its harder to cultivate this kind of mindset for their kids. If the parents are indeed academically oriented then the kids will find it easier to adopt the academic mindset, then there's a case that the kid should try harder, because s/he has the potential to. Edit: genetic to natural

TheBirdierouge this statement comes from the experiences that Mexican Americans have with everyone they interact with. There are a lot of times when we make friends with Latinos and they tell us how white washed we are, how we can’t speak Spanish very well, how it’s crazy if we don’t like a certain Mexican food. Stuff like that, so it feels like we have to be more and more Mexican or Latino. But when we interact with Americans, we get “speak English”, learn to cook American food, be patriotic, this is America, act American. So we feel pressured to be more and more American. That’s the experiences some Mexican Americans have had, and that’s where the mindset behind the phrase comes from. It’s not that we don’t have positive experiences with people, this is just the way Latino Americans are constantly feeling.

And interestingly enough, my Mother's parents were immigrants as well! They were from Sweden, so already then as a very young girl she experienced bullying and a bit of a language and culture difference because she was different. It's hard, to see your parents recount traumatic instances from their childhood, there's a lot of expectation that goes along with it too, but nonetheless i am extremely grateful for my immigrant parents and it's a huge source of pride for me.

I have spent my entire life in the States, I definitely feel American, but on top of that, I feel very strongly connected to my Indian and Russian side as well. One thing that helped me connect to all my cultures very well was continuing them at home while incorporating American aspects as well. For example, we often had Indian food and Russian food at home but we still had American food as well. Why I thought it was a good idea for my parents to incorporate their culture at home was because I was surrounded by so much American culture outside that it gave me a good blend between both and I never felt like I had to choose any of them over another.

Being raised to fear your parents is something we need to talk about more.. especially in the Nigerian community. This made me cry 😢

We should be raised the same but just with love, they need to tell us they are proud of us and that they love is no matter what

Perhaps, what you guys call fear is what Nigerians and Africa general consider respecting the parents.

IT was a bit dismissive to tell him that "a billion persons in china" so he shouldn't feel that way. His intro to the language makes him associate w trauma...acknowledge that and create a space for him to unlearn it without being so mean/dismissive.

She spoke way too many times over other peoples experiences when it was not warranted. Her interjections were the only part of the video I really didn't enjoy.

Exactly, it was irrelevant and ignorant. It pains me to know people do this every day to people like him in these moments where instead of showing compassion, they add on to the neglect and abuse. It’s not that hard to just be quiet and listen and not judge and not provide unsolicited advice.

I'm a child of two immigrants. My mum still to this day tries to push me to being "American" and not "British" even though culturally I do not fit in with Americans, but when I go back home, my family will point out how I'm not like my cousins because I'm not British. When Marco said he doesn't feel American enough or Asian enough, my heart sank. I feel your pain. I want to be in one 'box' if you would, but everyone else pushes me out of it or tries to put me in another. Or in Marco's case, he wants to fit in both boxes, but people are rejecting him when he tries to enter.
