I appreciate the older lady bringing up that its not just prejudice against foreigners or someone of a different nationality. There is an extra stigma if you are black. I rarely hear Koreans or others from East Asia admit this. Its important to highlight the unique experience of being Blasian.

[@bhopirl4552]

Yes many people try to defend the racism by saying it’s all xenophobia and whites get discriminated too, but it’s only true to a degree. Whites are generally treated better

[@whostolemybaguette1743]

@@hondagirl2001hmmm I don’t know about your statement being definitive. The roots of colourism in east Asian countries mostly come from an idea of white=purity, as this is a value that has pervaded through history… and in the past East Asian people were not in contact with darker people in order to create prejudiced opinions which would affect colourism. However again, there are people who are racist and colourist as a result of modern society and globalisation… allowing for contact with darker coloured people along with ‘culture’ which encouraged racism in Asian countries. But it would be wrong to say colourism cant exist without racism

[@omggiiirl2077]

Yes it's why even though my mom's family accepted my Mom and Dad being together, My mom still decided to leave Korea with my Dad and not raise us there! I didn't understand it as a youngster why she chose to keep us far away from the place I was born, until I got older and I started to peep stuff out and then I started to realize it for myself. It's why even though I love Korea and the culture I really don't full with Koreans outside my family members. I would see for myself how white and Korean kids really wouldn't get the same negative energy that black and Korean kids would get, and if the more Korean and lighter you were then the easier you would have it. Because I've seen kids of lighter skinned Black people have kids with Koreans and not really get much aggression, but for those of us who visibly look different, it was hatred all day, even here in the USA. And I just never felt accepted by Korean people like that except by my own family. Which is crazy because my great grandma and grandma loved me! And I always understood this! I have so many pictures showing how much they loved me! Not just in private but also in public! But Korean people can be real ignorant like that. It way better than it used to be, but it needs to be much better!

[@niconico_nya]

a very small detail i really appreciate is when bomi was shy and didn't want to give one of the younger women a hug, her mom didn't force her and instead gave her an alternate way to say hi with a high five. that's a really small thing that teaches kids their comfort matters, especially with physical touch with others, and a lot of parents don't do that kind of thing. i know of so many people who's parents would force them to hug people they weren't comfortable hugging, or punish them for not showing affection in a specific way. it was really nice to see bomi's mom respect her daughter's boundaries like that. it was also really cool that she suggested a high five instead, because lots of times kids want to express affection, just not in that specific way, so her giving her daughter another way that was more comfortable was really nice.

[@smshh33]

I was thinking she shouldn't have told her daughter to hug a stranger in the first place. Some kids will just feel obliged. But I appreciated that the girl kind of inherently recognized the "stranger danger" in the hug and stood her ground in her own little way until she decided the hi five was acceptable. And yes, it was good that her mother didn't pressure her any further.

I really enjoyed listening to the young woman. She could tell they were mother and daughter because of their interaction, and she explained to the mom that her mixed-race friends have had traumatic experiences because of racism. I hope the mom changes her mind about helping her child through racism. It's definitely her (and the dad's) responsibility to talk their daughter about racism, to help her understand that people can be fearful and hateful towards differences, but it is not her fault and she doesn't need to change anything about herself. I live in the U.S. and as she said, we have a lot more diversity here, but we still have racism. Parents here (myself included) would never say that it is the responsibility of a child to just get through racism on their own.

[@mlanae20]

Yes, I agree. Don’t just leave her out there by herself to figure it out. I hate this new way of thinking where some believe you should let the child raise themselves. Because kids in school can be cruel and brutal about sharing their thoughts. Also, that’s interesting that Asian people can’t see that they are mother and daughter, I could tell they were right off because of their looks/ the physical.

[@spulwasser]

She said the daughter will have to go through accepting that she looks different than the other teenage girls and basically how to be fine with that. She never mentioned that in the context of racism

[@michalsextion9664]

The mom's comments about the future are sort of sad. She is living in the bubble that people are more accepting, even while someone is telling her about second hand experiences. Bullying happens whether someone is Korean, poor, unpopular, etc. But, it happens worse when you're Black no matter if you're mixed-race or not. I hope she sees what the girl was telling her and better prepare her daughter for that. For now, I'm glad that her daughter is happy and healthy.

[@lavender4658]

yes, I agree. I was hoping someone else noticed that. Though I still think she's a good mom, she's a bit ignorant of what Black/darker skinned ppl go thru in Korean society. I do agree with all the points she brought up, but I believe as a mother of a mixed race child, it is her responsibility (as well as the fathers) to teach their daughter about the realities of living in Korea as a mixed race person. she chose to have a child with a Black person, so that means she needs to accept all the aspects of having a mixed child, including the racism they'll have to deal with in the future (cuz its inevitable.) Bomi should be able to come to either of her parents and ask about how/why she's different from others, and get an answer, not a "u have to figure it out urself." her mom prolly wont say it like that, but she is implying it in the vid.

[@LadidaShaw]

Totally agree. She seems totally unprepared for that and just wants her daughter to deal with it when it happens. Made me sad.

[@Eclecticlly]

yes, I totally agree. Kids will be bullied for every little thing, but Bomi being half black in a place like Korea the bulling will be even worse. I personally didn't like the mothers notion of when she faces racism and feelings of otherness it will be a her problem thing, and not her( the mother and fathers) job to help and build up confidence and strength to deal with prejudice. The child did not asked to be born and the mother new what could happen by having kids outside her race especially with a black man. When Korea is very anti-black/ any darkskin. Them as parents should be taking the active efforts to prepare their child for the outside world and their views and show her how to deal with them. Instead of thinking or hoping the world is a better place or she will not go through those things purely because you wish it so.

[@thestreetstylereport6607]

You're absolutely right! I was shocked when she said; "oh well, she'll have to deal with it and figure it out"...

[@cinnabhyun8585]

Exactly. And I find it highly problematic that the mom has this mindset that she’s not going to approach the situation with “youre different” like there’s nothing wrong with being different. Telling your visually biracial child that she’s just like other Koreans and she blends in is just setting her up. People will stare, people will ask questions not to mention at SOME point her daughter will deal with the insecuirty of her skin color and hair not being like everybody else’s. you can’t just ignore this part of her identity and just be like “well, I’m Korean and she’s half of me so she’s Korean” the world is not going to see or treat her that way. It is her responsibility as a parent to prepare her daughter for that. This is why i hate when black men procreate with non black women bc they leave all the responsibility of making sure the child is secure in their blackness to the NON-black mom.

[@70RY]

I love the way she is talking. Every time something backhanded or prejudice comes up she calls it bad or prejudice in such a polite way.

[@shikyo13]

I hope they connect with older Black and Korean mixed people so that she can directly learn from their experiences and use that to guide her daughter. It's also very important that she is in community with Black people, whether they're relatives or family friends so thay she can feel pride in all aspects of her heritage. Also hope that the mom realizes she can't just expect her daughter to face everything on her own.... she needs to advocate for her.... that makes me feel a bit nervous for the child...

Some koreans have never met a black person their whole life, nor do they see blasians. I'm pretty sure they just couldn't think of it because it's their first time meeting a blasian child.

Mom is going to have to do a lot more than cheer for Bomi from the sidelines. She needs to commit to supporting her. I hope this mother learns quickly that the opposition that her daughter will indeed face will be strong. Choosing to have a bi-racial child is an extra responsibility on the parents to ensure her safety, her confidence and her exposure/immersion to the ‘minority’ culture. Bomi will especially need her mother to embrace Black culture and create a community of Black women to support them. Bomi will need to have inner strength to face the challenges that are coming for her - She’ll need to know that she is worthy and beautiful. Protect her at all costs.

Sadly, it would be different. They are desperate to do anything that brings them closer to white people. Koreans are known to do the most plastic surgery too (nose, eyes, skin whitening etc). But yes, that child is absolutely gorgeous.

[@rosesavocado8557]

It’d be a different kind of racism. In high school, the guys would think she’s easy since Korean men tend to think as foreigners as promiscuous. She’d face a lot of sexual harassment and fetishization from the guys there if she was half white. If the kid were to have blue eyes, she’d get made fun of as well since obviously Koreans don’t usually have blue eyes. Overall it wouldn’t be harder or easier if the kid was half-white. She’d just experience the racism in a different way. People there just aren’t as open to new cultures and races compared to the west since it’s a very homogenous country.

[@tsuyuasui7297]

​@@rosesavocado8557idk I do think in some way it would be "easier", because most of the time wasians fit the beauty standards more than blasians, we can see this by the way that the only mixed k-idols we have seen so far tend to be half white and asian, and not half black or asian bc they tend to not have pale skin for asian standards.

[@jimihendrix7524]

You really believe what you just said?😂😂😂 you think a half white Korean is going to be made fun of because she has blue eyes……Koreans women wear color contacts all the time she is definitely not going to experience the same amount of racism as a half black Korean. The racism is base off skin color and stereotypes. Even south East Asian experience racism based of having olive skin In Korea

[@rosesavocado8557]

​@@jimihendrix7524 A lot of kids in school in Korea get bullied for having blue eyes. They get called “blink” and “ugly”. I once saw this with a child who had two different colored eyes - one brown and one blue. The kids at school constantly picked on her.

[@alwaysbored47]

I'd like to think that Asian people don't hate black people. One would be that most of them didn't grow up with black people so it is most likely they consider black people as entirely different (rather unknown). Second, unfortunately, prejudice against dark skin came because people working in fields and other physical laborious tasks under the sun had darker skin in these countries. Darker skin simply meant that you were less affluent in a lot of these communities and marriage and kids resulting thereby would have also be abject to that same prejudice. Definitely not justified but rather trying to get across the point that the prejudice isn't against black people.

[@Saliha366]

​@rock_lee3145white are favored because since they initiated colonialism they are seen as superior

[@kitty_s23456]

@rock_lee3145 it's not hate against black people per se, but Korean society (and to an extent, other Asian societies) are colorist. They prefer lighter skin because (as the other person said), it was mostly a class issue. Dark skin meant that you worked in the fields/ manual labor/ farmers while having light skin meant that you're rich/ belonged to the upper class (landlords, white collar jobs, etc). Many (not all) Koreans look down on SE Asians because they (we) are darker. They also look down on darker Koreans. Lots of skin whitening products in Korea (and elsewhere) - even though most Koreans are already fair-skinned. I think the mom is being overly optimistic of their situation. The young lady (the one with the mixed race friend) told her of stories of bullying. I agree with what some others said that she's living in a bubble. I hope they (the parents of Bomi) will be able to help the child navigate this situation as she grows up.

You have a gorgeous daughter and don´t let nobody tell you otherwise.

She´s adorable, and she has such a beautiful mix of facial traits. If you think the little bunny could manage to hold still to play dress up and take photos, and actually enjoy it, you should consider modelling. It could open a world of future connections for her, give her self validation, help her see how different the world and the beauty standards are outside of Korea, and also help her build a reputation for her future. You might want to ponder it, taking into account her exposure in Giggle could give her a push to get her started (but be careful to maintain a proper balance in her life, fame can be a powerful tool, but a dangerous one too). Best of lucks!

I'm a Black Queen that celebrates ALL shades of Black beauty. Black women and Black girls are equally beautiful in EVERY shade. Our skin tones are Exquisite Beauty. Respect the complexion! Black people have the most dominant genes. dark-pigmented, people have a lower chance of developing skin cancer and conditions related to folate deficiency, such as neural tube defects. An SPF of 2 means the doubling of protection of the skin against sunburn. Dark skin, which contains more melanin than fair skin is better protected against UV-induced damage, and melanin is thought to be superior to pheomelanin in its photoprotective properties.

[@small_and_dangerous2068]

I think a confusing statement from the mother is that she will let Bomi deal with problems regarding her race herself. And this is where I think it is complicated. Bomi’s mother may have grown with a more open mindset and obviously fell in love with a black man and had a beautiful child with him. But that doesn’t mean some of the way she finds that her culture handles problems is problematic. She might recognize that Bomi will have it tougher than most kids in school, but think with the Korean mindset that she needs to independently work through it on her own no matter how hard it is. That’s where multicultural relationships can be tricky. It’s not just the difference in skin color, it’s the mindset of how to raise children. Maybe the mom will realize Bomi needs more education on self love and confidence. Maybe Bomi will have to “tough it out” so to speak and will come out the other side tougher because of it. Or maybe Bomi will be the reason that Korean culture evolves and changes for the better when she is older and falls in love because she will learn from her experiences growing up what her future children (should she decide to have any) might need in order to work through these same situations. The future is uncertain for all countries and all generations. The best we can do is learn and grow and try our best to do right by the people younger than us to hopefully continue to bring positive change in every country, regardless of where each country is in terms of diversity and acceptance.

[@niggblehlm5818]

People need to be comfortable with the fact that certain things aren't appealing for certain people and that's life.

[@kathleencove]

I love that Bomi loves her own hair, and isn’t asking why her skin is darker. I’m sure that with her father around all the time, even at a young age she’s capable of basic logic to deduce where her skin tone comes from. And I think a lot of this early exposure of positive experiences with giggle is helping her see that some people might make racist comments, but her mother is immediately politely rebutting those comments, and exposing her daughter to positive influences like the black woman Rianna who did her hair for her. And we see that Bomi’s mother took the hair advice to heart, she looks so pretty and well taken care of. The fact that her daughter loves her hair is probably a direct relationship to these early positive experiences. Even if other kids or grown-ups have mean things to say, she’s probably going to handle it a lot better than a child who didn’t have these early experiences that associate her hair and face with pleasant memories and loving connection, open curiosity and polite conversations. Good for Bomi and her mother being proactive this way. Better for Bomi to overhear loving remarks from Rianna and then the “pretty lady” she high-fives, and overhear her mother standing up to any worries from an elder, than to overhear these concepts as nasty arguments from a young age. Those nasty arguments and bullying will eventually happen out in the world for her, but she’s so fortunate to have these positive experiences as her FIRST experiences, to help nurture her heart and help her through this. I don’t think the mother was being dismissive at all or saying she’ll let Bomi handle it on her own down the line, I think Bomi’s mother is clearly demonstrating by being involved in this project how seriously she takes creating a loving and supportive and educational but civil environment for her daughter, so that she has the support she needs. A lot of people misunderstood, I think Bomi’s mother is getting it right here. I don’t think she’s saying she’s not going to be there to love and console and comfort her daughter or stand up for her in those times. I think she’s just saying, she’s doing her best to give her the tools to be confident and well-rounded now, so that she can face these things better when that time comes. That’s how I understood what she was trying to say anyway, sometimes actions speak louder than words and you have to take the translated-across-languages words within the context of what actions someone is taking. This mother is clearly not neglecting her daughter’s emotional needs, and is really doing her best to be supportive as much as she humanly can.

The mum is so hopeful and really loves her daughter which the daughter fully deserves but it's so important to show the reality of Korea as a country where bullying is a never ending problem. She's most likely has grown up there and knows that it's not sunshine and daisies there and knows being different or standing out will get you picked on. Even foreign people who live in Korea, have a job there, have a house there are still considered an outsider even if they know Korean even better than a Korean person so what difference would there be with a mixed child?
