Wrong we are brown africans not black, we have black hair. Please get it right young lady, I am disgusted with this false label placed on my people since slavery days. Even worse is when my people call themselves black people, thats slavery mentality and majority of my people don't even realise it. How terrible. I am clearly brown and my ethnicity is african NOT Black as the majority ignants regurgitate. People who are wise know full well we are NOT black people. THIS IS A GOD DANG LIE ON MY PEOPLES.Just like the mexican and taino side of my family are NOT indians but native american tribes people. I love mankind but the stupidity and collective bs is is too much to tolerant in 2024.

As a Korean, I feel the Korean spirit in you. I'm sure your mother must have loved you very much. Back then, Korea was so poor and the environment was so hard for a mixed-race child to live in, that your mother must have sent you away in tears for her daughter's happiness. I wish you nothing but happiness now that your pain is behind you. I will remember your name for a long time.

Insane! Back to the topic, your perseverance is amazing. Thank you for sharing your story, of identity, acceptance, and connecting with your past.

Im fully korean. I would never ever be able to experience what Ms. Jack Lee went through, but I can relate to being rejected by other koreans. I remember i was in my Korean church with thirty other korean kids. I was the only one who only knew how to speak english. They were talking about their grades, in korean and stuff. I remember one of them looked at me and said something to me in korean. I told them I was sorry and didn’t speak korean. They all looked at me in shock. Then the same person asked me in english “Really? Well what I was asking was…what are your grades?” I remember telling them I had Cs and Bs, and one A minus. The whole room of korean kids stared at me in shock. One of them said “Wait, so you’re Korean, but you can’t speak it, and you don’t get good grades? So you aren’t a REAL korean.” I got really embarrassed and didn’t say anything. From then on these kids wouldn’t speak much to me, and would always bring up the fact that I didn’t get good grades. They’d speak Korean around me, and they’d stare and laugh at me, and when I asked what they were saying they would tell me “it’s nothing.” When I tried to come close and speak to them, they’d yell and run away from me. That’s really the only experience Ive had with other Koreans outside my family. Even so, other asian communities wouldn’t accept me either. I remember in high school being the only one on The badminton team (which were all asians) at my tiny school who sat out at games since I was the only JV team member. I was also excluded from the team groupchat they made, and only found out when I saw messages on the other teammates phones pop up when I was sitting on the bench as they were practicing. I was told straight up by the team captain that I made the team’s performance worse, which was why I was the only JV member. One guy even told me jokingly, “You’re at risk of getting kicked off the team because of your grades, and you can’t even hit birdies very well. you’re like the opposite of an asian lol” as the other teammates laughed and agreed. I’d never felt so distant and ashamed of being born as an asian. It really, really hurt being told by my only blood community, that I wasn’t “allowed” or “deserving” to be called a “Korean.” I felt so disconnected that every time I’d even eat Korean food, I couldn’t help but feel like I was appropriating someone else’s culture. That I was a fraud. Its really, really hard to be proud of a culture that has disowned you. Its really hard to raise that Korean flag when all of Korea has told you that you’re not deserving to wave it. I still haven’t found resolve within myself. I still call myself a “Person of Korean ethnicity” but never a “Korean.” Even other communities, the black and hispanic, and other communities who have loved and cared for me more than the Korean community has ever, I know I am not and will never be a community member of those groups. (Which I understand, and am totally fine with.) I have been living my life with no true identity. But Like Ms. Jacky Lee, I hope one day I can.

I'm sorry you experienced that. But those sound like stereotypes. Not all Asians get good grades. It's actually a really harmful stereotype and I'm sorry you were the victim of it. Nobody can tell you who you are or what your identity is. That's for you to say, not other people. Wishing you well.

Omg, the things she had to endure in silence makes me cry inside. Being Black and Korean I can understand so much, because even in my generation (i'm genx born in '78) these things were still going on, I was just lucky that my parents stayed together and they decided to not raise me in Korea. Her Mom made the best choice possible for her at that time, because she would have gone through horrible bullying, and not just from kids, adults too. That's why my Mom was not having it. But I did experience some rejection from other Black kids, and even now some Black people who don't know me want to argue with me and try to tell me their opinion about my racial/cultural identity but I refuse to entertain it. I also get it from Koreans too. I just see it as part and parcel of being mixed. Most will understand that that i'm both at the same time, and a select special few just don't and refuse to understand and want to fight about it. But as long as we know ourselves then nothing can shake us. I just made me glad she could have that time to make peace with her Mother. I know her Mom probably spent the rest of her life worrying and thinking of her baby girls. So many women gave up children during those days, and many never got to see them again. That breaks my heart for all these mothers who have to face that type of decision, no mother should have to feel they need to give up their children due to poverty and society.

What’s sad is that when you’re a naive kid in grade school and you see people of different races, you tend to make fun of them not realizing the negative impact that you can have on them throughout their lives. When those kids made fun of her and went home to their families not thinking about the mental damage that they caused this young girl at the time, she on the other hand went home and thought about those cruel insults and probably questioned her life. You can tell even though she’s a 60 year old woman now, she’s still bothered by those insults from long ago. I pray that she finds peace. ❤

Also I’m sure it’s mention 50 million times in the comments but you have aged so gracefully, it’s so cool maybe because it’s so rare to see an older blasian woman! It’s super hard to find your people, especially when either side isn’t always fully receptive, I’m glad to hear you were able to connect and find your identity, because (this is what I tell myself) at the end of the day you are you, the people who cherish and love you, love you for you, not because of where you came from or your race (s) . I am trying to learn 한국 and am reconnecting with my maternal 할머니 who’s Korean this weekend for the second time ever in life. Hoping to actually visit Korea one day! I wish you the best on the rest of your journey and thank y’all a ton for sharing your story!!

What a beautiful interview. Such an incredible life experience. We humans suffer so much at the hands of other's judgmental views. So glad Jackie got her story out so the rest of us can grow a little in our appreciation of diversity in humankind. Be well, Jacky Lee. Sending you love ❤️ Edited spelling

Wow! So beautiful, she is! My daughter is half -Asian, Thai to be specific. People are so strange when they are young adults. Parents do these things to their children. I learned from my own experiences and I have been sure to speak to my daughters openly. I do not want them to have the issues that I had. As a parent, I want to elevate them, not hinder them emotionally or to harm them emotionally.

You are beautiful inside and out. Your story touched my heart - I am crying tears of joy that you were able to embrace your Asian heritage. I am 1st generation Filipina-American born in U.S. and still experienced “Asian prejudice” - I would be ashamed and would just stay quiet. I am now in my 40s and am very proud to represent the Asian culture - I now educate ppl about my heritage. Peace be with you 💜

A remarkable touching recounting of a vital part of your life. The difficulty of having to ignore and deny the beginning of a time for which you have memory makes it more heart wrenching. I only wish you could have kept every important segment of your life in equal proportion...but you have thrived, experienced some measure of healing and found solace by becoming comfortable what you were always destined to be...a Korean & Black woman.

What a powerful story and message. Her life and transformation is inspiring and encouraging to all who have self doubt and a longing for an identity that lay suppressed for so many years. I hope her life, moving forward is easier and filled with joy.

You are a beautiful blessing of a person. I have learned in life (I am a 53 year old Black woman) that you are never too old to learn or find out about yourself. The more you learned about your Korean side; the more your God given soul beautifully shines through. Stay beautifully blessed. 🤎🙏🤎🙏🤎
