[@mikeraynaldo3454]

Hoping this video reached you, I hope you had a good time celebrating Christmas with your family, a time to love a time to share, all the way from China I wish you all over the world Merry Christmas with love and abundance. How and where did you celebrate this day?

[@deeford9332]

Hello & happy holidays! Thanks for the video! I'm celebrating Christmas and New Years in the U.S. I'm spending quality time with family and friend enjoying different cultural foods. Tomorrow will be hot pot with friends. New Years will be oxtails! I hope you have an amazing happy safe and blessed holiday season!

I'm always surprised by the lack of understanding about skin color and the creative ideas & misconceptions about "turning white." Thanks for sharing a teachable moment & not becoming upset or offended. People come in various shades of brown. We will not become white over time by changing locations. It is genetically impossible unless there is a medical condition. Contrary to common belief, I can't speak for others, but I have no desire to be white. I'm comfortable in my own skin. I dont believe having lighter or darker skin makes anyone better or worse. We are all unique individuals and should be respected and treated as such.

[@donnawilliams554]

Well said I started to respond in a way that would not have been as nice as you stated. Don’t understand how they ask the questions that they ask. Do they not have access to the world and know that there are people that come in al shades and colors besides white?

[@laughoutloud3404]

They learned that through western movies 😂

That lady who kept joking about paying in US dollars was adorable. I like her personality.

Is that the same one who kept trying to “complement” him by telling him how “differently black” he is? Yeah….”adorable”. 🙄👌🏾

[@sammyslam1]

Awesome video!! Speaking with everyday locals in their language makes them happy i think!

[@Ultra_Fine_Point]

Speaking anyone's heart language or dialect makes them happy. All language learners need to know this simple fact. ~~ :)

[@THE-BASEMENT]

I like how you carry yourself. You are a good dude.

[@youtubeillegallydeletesacc1525]

He’s a 🤡. He allows people to disrespect him. That’s why you “like how he carries himself”. He should’ve smacked her with her own fish. 😂😂😂

[@dedetreek8893]

There are nice and nasty people in every country/ community. The real deal is that most locals will appreciate and like you if you have made the efforts to learn the local language. I see from your videos the love you get and most of the locals think your language knowledge is better than what you think it is.

[@LebogangHappyMasemola]

People are different and they will not always treat you the same but you got to rise above that and stand your ground.

[@youtubeillegallydeletesacc1525]

Oh, PLEASE shut up! 🙄😑😣

[@tijoegronen]

I love your response Mike. People want these insignificant titles but they don’t take into account how the couple feels about each other. 👏👏👏

[@adamajanneh1998]

The brother is fluent in Chinese and it's impressive in daily interactions with locals and surprisingly one can detect Chinese dialect in his spoken English language. Either way is impressive!

Yes, it does matter and you should marry her and make her your official wife. It's about respect, Mike. The Chinese public will respect her and you better. It's their culture after all.

Thanks for sharing information on your time in China. Keep the blog going, and we can check on your progress, understanding of them, and their understanding of you. Thank you. I speak some Mandarin, but I find it better to just talk English when it is best for me. I have bought three houses in China and currently live in a Villa. I prefer a Villa because it resembles my life in Europe and North America.

[@valtranslator]

Thanks for this vlog! Ah ah! Always be careful when you speak your own language, thinking that you can't be understood by foreigners...🤪 I experienced this in England, as a student... Being in a group speaking in French in a park and hearing all sorts of insults and inappropriate comments (there were 4 of us girls)... The embarrassed surprise when we replied in English!..! Bah! There will always be ignorant people, disrespectful towards others. That's how this world goes! ...Fortunately, MOST OF the locals are not all like them and want to interact in a pleasant way.

[@dr.mikeybee]

I've been studying Mandarin for about a year, and I have trouble understanding when people speak, but I can understand some of what you are saying, so thank you.

[@eddo2001]

Living in a foreign country one just need to grow thick skin to move on. I lived overseas and heard people making racial comments about me in their own language, gossip or other kinds of unsavory opinions etc etc. My neighbor was being disrespectful and ended up assaulting me with sucker punch. Not worth it at all. Just know that your wife loves you, your child loves you, and China and their locals will get used to your presence. When they know your Chinese is good they will keep quiet. The world is getting smaller, everybody is moving around the globe to start a new life, so be grateful of the opportunity and avoid conflicts. China has a long way to go from homogenous culture, like many Asian countries. Xenophobia happens everywhere.

[@benhabibs952]

This dude is soooo cool. Such talent.

[@ciku88]

Mke, like what you said, the most important thing is you and your wife is HAPPY, that beat everything anyone have to say about your lifestyles in China, cheers bro.

[@huneydripperp9012]

Its sad the misinformation/ ignorance that people have about other races. I don't know if they truly believe that or if they wanted to ask that to be funny and get a reaction, but the way you handled it was really cool,calm, and collected. I hope they learned something and hopefully don't say that to another black/ African person.

[@michaeldorn9121]

After listening to what you said concerning your wife/girlfriend, its apparent to me that's a blogger, you struggle to make enough money to fully support your wife/girlfriend accordingto Chinese customs. I know it's not easy for a foreigner to find work in China, and now you have a baby with her. You need to do the right thing by her and her family. If you want the milk, you need to buy the cow.

[@slylockfox85]

I fail to see how what the first part of your comment has to do with the last sentence.

"Pakistan urgently needs to control its population growth as it directly impacts the country's future. With a rapidly increasing number of people, the availability of resources, jobs, and opportunities continues to shrink. This uncontrolled growth is not just about numbers; it translates into bringing more humans into a world of limited prospects and widespread misery. A growing population without proper planning only amplifies poverty, unemployment, and societal issues. It's high time for Pakistan to focus on sustainable development and population control measures to secure a better future for the coming generations."

[@StefStef438]

But Pakistani’s are all over the world. Maybe you guys should allow women to take contraceptives

[@man08839]

@StefStef438 Having kids can be a big responsibility. We should think carefully before bringing a new life into the world. Can we give them a stable and happy future? It's not fair to bring a child into a world with many problems. Being a parent is a big job, and we should try to make the world a better place before having more children

[@williamlewandowski129]

Don’t try to race bait these Chinese bro. They treat you pretty good given your the first black man they every seen before. Can’t imagine a Chinese would be treated as good in Africa.

You'd be surprised.

[@Vee-yc5ht]

They are treated very well in Africa; that's why they have invaded the continent

[@nicolewilson4058]

He is not the first black man they have ever seen. Remember the two women said they didn't believe he was black because he wasn't as dark as the others they have seen.

[@lindseyfraser4408]

You really cannot get offended by the comments of the Chinese people. My sister was in Shanghai on a bank holiday and a lot of people were shocked to see real blonde hair and blue eyes. She stuck out like a sore thumb. Genuine curiosity,questions and photo requests to show back at the village.

Mike congratulations on becoming a father, lam 72 years young my son is 36 , the ladies in China like to bargain and give good deals

[@daelanbro]

you say its not a big deal but making someone your wife implies a significant level of dedication, not that having a baby or being girlfriend and boyfriend doesnt, but i think taking that big steps shows how serious you are about her. being a black man the last thing you want to do is confirm the bias and have a child out of wedlock and end up divorced or separated. take the step, be a man and marry the girl you claim you love.

[@rtypedeltaful]

Wowww......that Chinese man got caught off guard....

[@williamlewandowski129]

If they say ' what is this black guy doing here' it could have a less sinister connotation. It could mean, is he doing a documentary on China for his country? I could also mean, what was the draw that brought this African man here? My answer would be that I live here with my Chinese wife. I love China! I brought a Chinese man to tears when I replied this way (thru my translator wife). The Chinese people are particularly kind and curious. Having said this, are there people who are distrustful of foreigners and also black people. Probably. But I would just smile and assume the best. Good luck!

[@ojokisaac954]

Mike, I accept your concept around no difference in calling her “my wife” or “my girlfriend”; however, I want you to enlighten me more or perhaps make a video regarding the bride price (dowry). My lady asked her mom to let her marry me, her mom agreed. I work in a hotel as a front desk agent and I will be getting my master degree in May 2025. Please make a long video on marriage and bride price. My lady and I want a traditional Chinese wedding.

Hahaha, I was asked a similar question, multiple times in South Korea, usually by children and the elderly: "How did your skin become so white?" Hahaha~! I always smiled....It wasn't a process...I was just born this way...in fact, White people are kind of awesome, because we can turn other colors: "Redneck", "green with envy", "pale as a ghost", and "lovely tan", "dark-hearted", and "blue blooded"...hahahaha. Ultimately, Sir, I understand your plight....I lived a good long time in South Korea and Japan and, despite whatever level of language proficiency I got to, I had to accept that I will always be considered a foreigner, despite working for their government and being recognized as a citizen.

[@SgForeverSg]

Actually it’s an interesting question. Most of the Africans are in Guangzhou and I think Nigerians, and they are usually very dark. That’s my own observation. Not sure if you are rare or there’s really a difference between countries or groups?

[@gloriasponner654]

I lived in CHINS in the early 70s . I was the only black person walking down the street..6ft tall wowsm. If O must say beautiful. The Chinese never saw a dark drink person up close. I ground out it was curiosity nit prejudice. I spoke no Chinesr they spoke no English I found out they would do everything too make sure I felt comfortable. Shopping they would try too explain they would give me things. Invite to have a meal. I was happy Went too HONG KONG. Who knew I made my fortune. The Chinese people gave me a platform too excel. Don't judge everything in black and white but then I'm not Ametican. I actually in my country grew up with Chinese. I was one up

[@Raymond-h1s]

It does not matter. You are a foreigner. I am also a foreigner. Some areas are more tolerante of foreigners. I have had the same problem. But I do not confront the Old Man as you do. I think better that way. I have had some friends wanting a confrontation with people. Stay safe there.
