[Part 2] Korean Grandma Meets a Black Person

[@el3264]

Why am I sitting here smiling like an idiot? Forget race, a generational gap was bridged and a genuine friendship was formed. I'll be starting a petition for them to have their own channel 😂

[@maimaz2910]

My face hurts from smiling this hard and from ear to ear 😂 so I feel you. The respect and honesty they have and naturally bonding over everything really got me grinning 😁

[@malaikaracheapen]

Imma join you🤧💞

[@ED-ie3et]

YES.

[@gloriasheppard7747]

I'm so choked up. Many barriers were overcome after their honest and open conversation. It was a beautiful interaction. Miss you Grandma OK. You and Zoey have turned a lot of frowns upside down. God bless!

Them bonding over food and them complimenting each other with their whole hearts while laughing together made me so happy. I’m proud of Grandma Ok for being so open to discussion with people and opening her mind and heart to them, seeing them as people no matter where they come from and who they are. She is the sweetest, how can you not love her?

[@mairaleao]

I felt so sad with Grandma worrying that her great-grandchildren would be discriminated against if they were to be interracial. It's a travesty that we still live in a world where this is such a real issue. Overall her whole interaction with Isaac was so beautiful, touching, poignant and fun to watch. I have to confess I'm a bit in love with him for being such a sweet and thoughtful guy and as always when I think i cannot love Grandma OK even more there she comes proving me wrong.

I saw that video she talked about with the “N” word stuck on the kid’s back and some people just secretly took it off, but one group stopped the kid and told him something like, “Look, if your friends do this to you, they ain’t your friends.” Was great to see, because these are very don’t get involved cultures. So for someone to try to help the kid that much...

I took a deep breath at the first question then sighed in relief at her answer. We need more Asian grandmothers like her.

[@MrsAlmightyKey]

Same I was so scared

[@vomit_ghost]

She obviously has an opinion against racism and even apologised to Issac for her behavior to the solider she met when she was a kid, so I fully expected her to not like the relationship only because of the hardships that the child might face in life

[@beansonbread7452]

Issac is so adorable

[@betterknownas4106]

Okay, so that was the issue that Grandma OK had (where it cut off in Part 1) about interracial relationships that I had hoped was the case; her concern was about how racist people would treat her biracial great-grandchild if her granddaughter married someone Black/African-descent. Seeing the rest of the video in full context was needed, but also cathartic seeing through their interaction what we should see everyday...how very CONNECTED humans are to each other, no matter how vastly dissimilar our cultural experiences are, because the universal thing that binds us together (should we choose to utilize it) is our humanity and showing love to each other. That translates over no matter where you come from on this planet. I'm sure that this experience leaves an even greater impression on Grandma OK, speaking to a foreigner/African for the first time, and in her own language. Isaac is very intelligent as well as a truly beautiful soul, as is OK, and watching the two of them bond made my heart feel good. People like them are the ones who save me from becoming a full-out misanthrope.Great job with this series, Zoe, and please keep this going!

[@namitales]

Right? Makes a lot of sense. I’m mixed, raised by my white mother and she has so many concerns. She’s yelled at store owners for discriminating against my African family. They denied us access but my family spoke French so they didn’t understand the racial slurs. My mom did, and she FLIPPED. She even encouraged me to choose a doctor of color cause she KNEW I needed someone of color to understand me better and make sure I wasn’t treated differently. I never noticed any racism, but she always did and protected me from it. Growing up, I started realizing in how much fear my mom always lived, fighting for my rights as a person of color and calling out racism all the time. I totally understand grandma OK’s fears in that sense and I respect her for saying it, because it is a fear a lot of parents with mixed children or adopted children deal with. ❤️

[@michaelcinelli4120]

From what I've heard, there's a good few villages out in rural parts of Africa, and a few countries therein that need relief aid, but I'm pretty sure the charity commercials you see are all filming the same village from different angles; even looking at a whole continent, that level of poverty CANNOT be that common

[@Cruxador]

It's also focusing on specific events where it's extra bad, like when a civil war disrupts things, or the famine in Ethiopia, which was a big deal in 1984 but even now is happening again in Tigray due to the genocide

Rural Africa? You mean rural parts within select African counties. Thinking of Africa as one country seems so ingrained in western minds. It's a deliberate propaganda that's taken root unfortunately.

[@michaelcinelli4120]

WOW! I did not even realize that I was smiling from ear to ear the entire video until it ended because my cheeks feel sore from how hard I was smiling. This has to be the most beautiful video I’ve ever seen and will be sharing it with everyone and anyone I can in hope it fills their heart with love as it did for mine. And make their cheeks hurt from smiling so hard at the pure magic of humanity uniting. The genuine and honest answers made it that much more meaningful. Your grandma and this young man do not see eye to eye on everything and have ways to go in each of their journeys to truly understand each other. But despite that, their enormous hearts and genuine connection overpowered that and naturally took them in such a deep and beautiful conversation. If you were to show me just the last 4 minutes of this videos and that picture of them without showing me the beginning of this video or part 1, then I would have sworn that they are family and have known each other forever. They navigated and found a way to understand each other with such respect and meaning. I really appreciate you sharing this beautiful moment with all of us, it’s touched me and inspired me in such a big way and I look forward to opening these conversations with more people around me. I wish you and your family so much happiness and a lifetime of good health and laughter. ❤️🙏

Learned so much about their exchanges--from the Korean language, the culture, racism/discrimination, etc--to life in general.

This literally brings me back to when I worked at another nail salon a month before I started a new place. I was so shocked and surprised that one of the nail techs and a client were speaking to each other like they’re best friends. The customer who happens to be black spoke fluent Vietnamese, which really got everyone in the salon dropped their mouth open in shock and admiration. Everyone was wondering how the heck was she able to speak Vietnamese so well especially without an accent when she speaks. The client said that she moved to Vietnam to live there for 4 years to teach English, math, and Black Culture which was jaw dropping.

First off, very dear Zoe, I am so very incredibly sorry for the crappy and shitty racist things you went through, you fucking deserve an apology and a heartfelt huge hug. I am glad that I lived to see day to see this, a Korean grandma and a Ghanaian young man holding hands laughing and bonding over their love of food. I tried to kill myself several time in the past without success and I always viewed me being alive still as a failure. Whenever I was in such dark place and in so much unbearable pain I would always reach out to suicide as an outlet to end it all. But, for the very first in like ever I AM really, really, really glad to have survived all those attempts. I am in the same place again but for the first in my life I WANT TO LIVE, I CHOOSE LIFE. I choose to planning for the future; I choose change the world for the better I choose to connect people, I choose ME. You will never know how much YOU, YOUMI and GRANDMA OK have changed my life for the better and have truly pushed me to start my Korean language classes. Love to The Reacting Team but most importantly to GRANDMA OK, Forever and always …..Sandrine💞💓💓💕💖💗❣️💝
