[@thedarksideoftheforce6658]

When interacting with people just some advice let the other guest who are actually Japanese or half speak with the locals. Let them speak first and not control the conversation. You seem to do this every video kind of making it about you. You are the host let them interact and you can after they speak as respect introduce yourself. It comes off as kind of narcissist unintentionally and making the mixed people seem like they are children who must be introduced to people in their own country. It makes me feel tense. No disrespect but you do it every video and they are adults. They literally only speak a few words after you had an entire conversation and then it cuts back to you. 98 percent of the video is about you.

[@thechikuwa284]

Americans are so exclusive that they classify her as African. She just looks Asian. Dividing people into “white and non-white” proves how racist and undiverse America is.

[@fay-yaadhahmoodley3087]

Well if you mixed calling yourself one race will be wierd..and confusing to others.. I am mixed as well.. my moms Indian...

[@Hawk999]

I love Marintia’s positive attitude.

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

Yes, she has an excellent, realistic attitude toward people and life. ++++++++++++++++ Unlike most Whites or other mixed/half's, she's Japanese and Ghanians and having spent, as she said, 70% of her time in Ghana, she KNOWS Japan is NOT as "racist" as most foreigners make it out to be. Because, as she said, she faces much more overt issues in Africa. There, they simply called her a "China girl." She reminded me of being calle "El Chino" in Mexico first time I went down to Mexico, years ago, in my high school days. Mexicans hardly knew, back then, of any other Asians, except Chinese. Former Strong Man of Peru, Alberto Fujimori, used to be called EL CHINO. Whether you're Lao, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Mongols, Vietnamese, Hmong, Cambodian, Filipino... so long as they THOUGHT you "look" Asian, it's EL CHINO! I smiled when Mexican kids called me BRUCE LEE, in fact! There are DIFFERENT levels or degrees of every thing we face in life. We simply have to put them into better perspective. WHITE MEN (especially Christian Conservative White guys) in the USA --- who still dominate politics and many aspects of life in America ---- for example, are 100% sure they are the "most discriminated against," the "most persecuted" segment of the American population! Some POVs are 100% off... but we all --- rich, poor, black, white, asian, male, female, short, tall, fat, skinny, what-not --- face these issues all the time..... My brother, not Japanese but Asian... he's born and raised in San Diego. But he grew up crazy about Japanese anime since his toddler years in the 1990s; he majored Japanese in college and went on to live and teach in Japan the last 15 plus years. For all intents and purposes, he's as Japanese as any foreigner could be... if some random Japanese merely looked at some random pictures with him among other Japanese, it's impossible to ID him apart from them. But once they realized he's an America (Asian America), his high fluency in Japanese didn't matter. But the way the Japanese would ignore some of his colleagues, in outings... where a waitress may only speak to him, even if he's saying, "No, my friend here also speaks Japanese" (usually a White teacher colleague, he said).... again, we all face challenges in life, in all the societies and people we come in contact with. MARINTIA'S ATTITUDE, therefore, is the most healthy one....

Monoracial people often notice traits that do not align with their own. Like, when it comes to Blasians (half black + half Asian), monoracial Asians will often notice their more black features, even if a Blasian has mostly Asian features, before noticing those Asian features.

Her personality just radiates positive vibes. The interactions you both had with various people showed how differently situations can be viewed, even by those involved. There were some truly comedic moments and profound operations and interactions. Moisturized hands is not a phrase one hears often.

In Okinawa and maybe even in Southern Kyushu, if Marintia wore her hair down, most Japanese people would think she was Okinawan as soon as she spoke. On the other hand, if Maritia arrived anywhere in Micronesia, they would think she was a Micronesian person and... here on the beautiful Hawiian Islands, she could pass for a Samoan or Tongan beauty fashion model.

This may sound odd, but I loved hearing about how your grandma grew and changed her perspective about your father. I am american, mixed between black and white, and my family went through the same initial rejection. My mom's family even disowned her when she married my father. But they came around, they grew and changed too, and by the time my brother and I were born we never even knew how they once disapproved of our parent's union. Some of my favorite memories are my mom's mother taking my brother and I to all her social functions and how she would openly boast to her friends about how "beautiful, smart, and talented" we were. She really instilled a lot of self-confidence in me that I was lacking when I was younger. I didnt discover her inital thoughts about my parents' interracial marriage until after my grandmother had passed away and I found an old letter my mom had written to her mother. I was shocked, and saddened by her prejudice. But then I realized, we are all just people making our way in this world and learning about life as we go. And she loved us all so much. I thank God above that he changed her and granddaddy's hearts, and that they were both such strong and positive influences in my life ❤

[@SLee-vc9gd]

I'm from the U.S., Pennsylvania specifically. She reminds me of what my oldest granddaughter may look like at her age.🥰 When she was little, people asked us if she had some sort of Asian heritage but I'm 1/2 black & 1/2 white. My daughter, her mother, is mixed also but my granddaughter's dad is full black. My daughter and I have actually had people argue us down that we were Puerto Rican and my son (who has a different father) is a bit more brown with soft curly hair and everyone always thinks he's Dominican lol. Our area has a multi heritage(?🤷🏽‍♀️) Hispanic population so it makes sense lol.

[@jdotsalter910]

Even though she said she's Japanese in fluent Japanese, the man still made the distinction between Japanese and her being Black. He said "Japanese like Black people" as if she isn't Japanese. Blackness supersedes everything else in all societies outside Africa. As a half Black/Chinese American, I feel you sister. Be proud to be Black, mixed, Japanese.

[@llv9111]

This is is another interesting perspective. In the opposite way, Black is deemed inferior too or anyone with a mix to but within the Black culture, Black people LOVE anyone who is mixed with other race along with Black. Black people will accept mixed folks who are mixed with black and Black people find them always beautiful and exotic. Food for thought 😊

So interesting to learn different perspectives about living as a "foreigner" in Japan. Amazing that the one lady thought that Marintia was actually Japanese.

[@SailorYuki]

Marintia looks like she could be from Okinawa though. But then again, the racial bias Japanese have against anyone with anything but snow white skin is well known. It isn't just the forigners, it's the native people too. Sure, some are truly racists, but I think most just lack the awareness and introduction to others. It's also a cultural thing of "everyone must be the same", so if you stick out in any way you'll be judged as a disturber of the peace. It would be interesting to hear what the Japanese say about this. MAybe interview Japanese relatives of halfs and see if their biases have changed.

[@llv9111]

I really appreciate these videos from Oriental Pearl because they provide valuable insights into our perspectives. Not only about race but also the concept of ethnicity and xenophobia. It's clear that our first impressions are often shaped by appearance. We all have biases that lead us to categorize others based on how they look. This happens everywhere. Even in the U.S., specifically, I've noticed a unique fascination with mixed-race individuals, likely due to the country's diversity and the blending of various ethnic groups. Which isnt so prevelant in other countries but I can be wrong about this (I just know through watching these videos). But it seems America (since I live here too, lol) has a obsession of mixed race. People here often admire the aesthetics of mixed-race individuals, which also shapes how racism manifests differently compared to other countries. While racism is a global issue, I believe the way it plays out here varies significantly based on many factors (its too many to lost lol). I do have to also add that anyone who is mixed with black seems to be judged alittle more harshly than being mixed with European, Indian or Hispanic. Sad to say but true. Being Black or having features that are perceived as more Black often seems to be deemed as inferior in many societies. No one can't deny this. This perception stems from deeply embedded racial hierarchies in America (sad to say) and in other countries too but America has so many other ethnic groups that the racism hierarchy and preferences runs DEEP. Historically in many countries, having lighter skin with Eurocentric features is still valued. Any other mixture with other ethnicities is deemed even more exotic and beautful. Having more Black features isnt. As a result, Black individuals, especially those with darker skin tones, may face more discrimination and stereotyping. I know it may trigger some opinions but due to even my experience and from what I have seen and heard, it's very true. Overall, these videos are an excellent way to explore how people in different countries react to those who may not look like them but they have birth right to along with growing up as natives, knowing the language and culture. And also, through media representations like these videos, societal norms, and systemic inequalities, we have to challenge the harmful ideals of perceived beauty, culture, and xenophobia and learn to appreciate everyone for who they are and what they look like❤.

Beautiful video of Marintia diversity. I am mixed with Japanese and African American. My mom is Japanese and father is African American. I can relate to Marintia.

Oh wow I remember watching one of her videos a long time ago, so this was a pleasant surprise!

[@rachelherrera5867]

She's gorgeous and has a great personality!

[@giftcardbill]

Marintia is a breath of fresh air. She is quite mature and speaks frankly about the reactions in Ghana and Japan. She embraces her notoriety. Not a victim. Also she is very, very pretty.

This was a fun video and it's good to see someone "hafu" seeming to be positive and taken things how they come. It's crazy how I was wondering all video why they were speaking Chinese in the intro on a Japanese video. I realized I shouldn't be so hard on myself for being bad at all the languages I've wanted to learn because I can understand some Spanish Japanese French Korean Chinese. But of course I should definitely study more. I'll be back now that I see you also teach Japanese ❤️

I think I'm in love. She's so sane it's maddening!

[@ntrg3248]

Most half black half Japanese I've seen, I find I can generally see both sides of heir heritage but for Marintia I would believe she was just Japanese if I didn't know her dad was from Ghana. She doesn't look that half to me even with it. I'm surprised Japanese people think she's a foreigner

She is full Black for Japanese people.

Ok Anming....another wonderful video as usual.....your language skills are exceptional. Marintia is a humble and charming girl, her English sounds more like she's from America, she has that twang...LOL. Congrats on 1.12 million subscribers! 🥰

Marintia, you are a beautiful lady, and from the way you conduct yourself, one can easily see you came from a loving home with great parents, they should be so proud of you!
