[REACTION] British Girl Born in Japan - Reacts to Comments from Interview

[@reneabe]

Hi, Sachiko! My parents are Japanese and I was born and raised in… Brazil. Despite of being educated in Brazil and in the US, I do have… Japanese citizenship. That you deserve more than myself. I can completely relate to the fact to be the different one in the room. I’m very happy you nailed it!!! Cheers!

[@JC-ow2ii]

Hi! I also came from Max's video. I feel like I can really relate to your experiences because I spent my childhood in countryside in Northern Japan. I wasn't born in Japan but from age 5 to 18. I was the only "foreigner" around, not knowing there was a kid like me in Wajima, Ishikawa! Watching channels like yours and Max's is sort of therapeutic for me. And I really wish I had chances to watch these type of videos when I was growing up, but as you know, there was nothing like this available back then! I just wanted to say 頑張って！応援してます！

[@keepinpemdazaliv]

I've shared the interview with a bunch of friends and we all agree you're awesome! Keep up the great work :D

[@chrisclifton4609]

I recently came across Max's channel which lead me to your channel and I don't mind watching with the subtitles on . I enjoy learning about other people cultures. Most of my closest friends english is at minimum there second language.

[@xPhantomxify]

Hello, I came from Max's video. It was very interesting and insightful to learn about your upbringing in Japan with Western parents. I learned a lot and I love the message you are trying to spread. ''No matter the race, culture or background, we are all human.'' Thanks for sharing your personal experiences with us! I'm also smitten by your gorgeous beauty. Those eyebrows and eyes!!

Whoa!! This is way better than a sequel to something like ET or some other great movie. Thank you so much! So great to see you again! Max as well! So good, so so so good! Definitely needs to be made into a movie. You as yourself, for sure!

[@SarahJones-wl2eb]

I never comment on KZbin videos… but here it goes! I identified so much with everything you shared in your interview with Max. When I heard you grew up in 輪島 I was like OMG! I grew up like 30 minutes away from you! I’m maybe a little bit older than you but I wish I knew you when I was growing up, because it felt like nobody understood what I was going through. I wanted so badly to fit in and be “purely Japanese” back in those days. I too am very tall (was 176 cm by the time I was 14) and I swear I was the tallest girl anyone had ever met…oh and finding shoes and clothes that fit me was impossible! It’s really cool to find someone who’s had a similar experience. I also love your videos on bilingualism. I grew up only speaking Japanese but moved to the US when I was 15, and at this point my English is “stronger” than Japanese for me. But I’m trying my best to have my daughter grow up bilingual. The way you have mastered both languages is really impressive!! I would love to see more videos from you- great work!

[@vuuspalding]

She is a breath of fresh air. Love her.

[@kh092766]

Hi Sachiko-san, I happened to watch the footage created by Max. I was very impressed to know about your life. You are so positive, britght, nergetic and intelligent. It must have been very lonely for you to live as British child, adlosence in a small twon of Ishikawa-ken but you worked harder than anyone to be who you are now! So impressive! Please take your time and explore/enjoy a new stage of your life after graduation. 焦らずに、頑張ってくださいね！成功をお祈りしています！By the way, your smile is so beatiful！

[@bobbyw1074]

Hi Sachiko. Your story is so interesting and I enjoyed it so much. I can almost feel what you must have been through growing up. The fitting in part is probably the hardest part no matter whoever going through similar experiences. My only two cents that I like to say and not that you need any, is if they don’t accept you for who you are, then just go to a place who will. Thanks for the videos!

[@eckligt]

If the teacher really wanted to single you out, she could have done it in a way that gave you positive attention ... something like: "Class, Jaz here can speak and write two languages at a perfect, native level, and tops the class in Japanese, while the rest of you seem to be struggling with even one" :-) Maybe that would be too confrontational for Japan, though. Greetings from Norway again

[@atatur123]

Hey Sachiko! As someone who got picked on as a kid because of his race (but didn't realise it then), your story about having your feelings of "unworthiness" and "less than" put into context and validated by your mum was really empowering to hear. Thank you so much for articulating so beautifully. I firmly believe that you are/will be a positive influence to many "Third Culture" kids growing up all over the world. I hope you keep speaking your truth and sharing whatever it is that you have to offer.

Sachiko. As the product of a German mum, and a American father... being raised in Montréal in a French-speaking area... I feel your pain, and joys! You're awesome madam!

[@hikosaemon]

Hey Jaz! Loved meeting you. I think what is a bit frustrating about this kind of thing from the teacher is it is one of those examples of where Japanese people are generally very good at being empathetic to the position of other people they are talking to or about, but when someone who looks foreign is in front of them, it is like they turn off that "seeing things from your perspective" view and instead group themselves with other Japanese in the room. Which is two layers of awkward - kids in Japan generally don't want to be singled out from their peers for anything (including praise) and there is the undertone of it also being based on your background so... yeah... 'Read the room dude!' Congrats on the viral vid!

[@etherdog]

Lovely interview and questions, Jazmine! If you are living an honest life, it is probably best not to worry about what you think other people think of you, as your presumptions are probably not that accurate (as academic studies have shown).

[@realnizefilms]

I really liked the original interview and you’ve got a great channel too. I’m half and half so very interesting to hear these different perspectives.

[@gaweyn]

she is so pretty and has so cute facial expressions that I had to rewatch to read the subtitles

[@spirits_]

Just saw the video with all the views, please make more videos about different topics, I think the concept of growing up as a foreigner-yet-native is a very interesting perspective when seen from a "westerners" perspective. It's usually the other way around.

[@TonyWKoo]

The pursuit of excellence versus the pursuit of acceptance. What is the right answer? I’ve met some Japanese people and when I was a child, I really admired Japanese culture. But I also understand just how much pressure Japanese people experience in the pursuit of perfection and conformity to social norms. In my own life, I’ve tried to pursue perfection, but I’ve found it to be an impossible goal. So now, I pursue acceptance. I don’t push myself and other people as hard as I used to. I try to let myself be me and I try to appreciate all of my qualities. And I try to accept others as well, and to appreciate their qualities also. Everyone is different. But I think in Japan, they try to make everyone the same. It’s ok to be different. It’s ok to be who you are. As long as you’re not hurting yourself or anyone else, it’s ok to be you. That’s just my opinion.

[@leskfan1277]

Great video! I realize you're probably busy, but are you planning to upload the video with Tiffany Rachel that Max D Capo mentioned? I'm really looking forward to it. Thanks.

[@jazmine_sachi]

Stay tuned! It’s coming out first thing New Year!!

[@iHeartFerenc]

Hi Sachiko - thanks for your content. I'm curious about something - if you only speak English at home, did you know Japanese as a child just starting school? Do you remember having to learn anything to catch up to other kids or was your Japanese already there from other exposure? How is your parents' Japanese, do you guys ever speak Japanese together? Did they ever ask you and your sister to help them improve their Japanese?

[@owaffs]

I am also curious about this. I assume her mother at the very least learnt/knew some Japanese when she came over to master lacquering but it'd be interesting to hear more about your parents Jazmine. Maybe you could do a video about them or, perhaps even better, with them that discusses how they met each other (was it in the UK? was it in Japan?) and the challenges they faced/overcame regarding learning Japanese, finding work, being able to buy a home and settle in, etc.

[@mozartjpn137]

I took a biology class at an American university. One day, the professor said to his American students, "This student from Japan cannot speak English properly. But he always gets top marks in his exams. You should study more".

[@kai223noa6]

I really don't like when managers set you as the example because it causes resentment against you from your co-workers. Same would apply for students, but I've never been an "A+" student.

[@cfutdoy2]

Hi, Sachiko Really enjoyed your videos. Congratulations on your success. I think your teacher was probably more guilty of lack of tact and sensitivity than bigotry. She could have stated your situation as follows: Sachiko has achieved the highest grade in your class and she has done so in spite of the fact she speaks English at home. She has shown you all that she has worked harder than the rest of you. All of you should and can do better. Her criticism should have directed towards your classmates.

[@Macs]

I agree, they way you deliver a message makes a lot of difference, he could have been inclusive and recognise what hard work can archive and take her as example rather than pointing out that they should be better than her because she is foreigner.

[@gkanai1400]

Thanks for the follow up video. In the shots of only you, the camera is focusing on the metal mesh behind you. When you're doing a talking head, sit down video, you can focus on your face (your eyes) and turn off the auto focus. Or set the aperture to f16 or f22 and that way everything in the frame will be in focus. Complex patterns sometimes can confuse auto focus systems unfortunately.

As some who only knows 1 language, I always find the code switching interesting. How someone can start a sentence in one language and switch halfway though without missing a beat. I know you talked in another video about how your thoughts are in a language depending on what language you learned the material in, but on some basic level you must be thinking in both languages at the some time in order for the seamless transition.

Just for general information: In Europe, more precisely in the Netherlands, live the tallest people (regardless of whether woman or man) in the world on average. And in many countries in Europe (e.g. in Germany) the people are not much smaller or almost the same size as in the Netherlands. But Italy isn't really known for necessarily having such tall people there….. I’d like to tell that, because you (Jazmine) thought there were already a lot of tall people living there, in Italy. 😄🙄

[@user-yk1cw8im4h]

Italy people has short pp as well 😂

[@Nitidus]

The Netherlands and Germany are "more or less" the same thing, anyways. If you look at it from like a global persoective. It's interesting to see that Holland is ahead in that respect at all. That being said, women who are 1.86m tall like Jazmine are still incredibly rare here. I'd love to meet one as I'm 2.05m tall myself. Luckily, height doesn't really matter to me - my first girlfriend was 1.64m, haha.. Maybe I should look for acquaintances in the Netherlands instead 😁 I love that country so much.

[@nicolad8822]

Tall compared to Japan though. And are northern Italians different to Germany? Not sure I heard why she was Italy, I did hear she was a swimmer, if she was swimming at a high level there would definitely be some taller girls.

Absolutely fasinating, love to see a lot more content like this, taking about cultural differences. How do you feel when you visit family in England?

[@kamitera1]

The same thing happened to me in Dallas as a Japanese teenager, a few years into moving there from Japan. This other Chinese kid and I always scored best in our English grammar tests and the teacher told the rest of the students, something like, “Can’t y’all do better? English isn’t their first language and they are beating y’all at this!” It felt wrong and I still feel bad thinking about it.

[@No1sonuk]

Watching this, and your instant switching between Japanese and English, kind of reminded me of the short-lived TV series "Firefly", where the characters speak mostly English with some Chinese mixed in. Do you do it consciously? It seems like when in bilingual company it may be easier to get the point across in one language than the other? I have a German friend who says she can't mix or easily translate between English and German because she "switches" her brain to English OR German.

[@makoto5071]

Hi Sachiko! I resubscribed (somehow KZbin unsubscribes me from some channels) How are you? Do you have a switch in your head when you're faced with a foreigner face, that you automatically switch to English, while on the otherhand, if your facing a Japanese person, your head switches to Japanese mode? For an instance, I have a Japanese looking co-worker (that says he's a Japanese) that I met in person for the first time (I'm working remotely 95% of the time and haven't been to the office in like three months), so obviously, my mind is in Japanese when I meet him at the office. Soo... I was shocked that he addressed himself in English and spoke it as fluently as I do. (I learned later that he's a 4th Generation Japanese American, who is still in the process of learning 日本語) If I met you not knowing you're fluent in 日本語 (probably your'e fluent in 日本語 moreso than me, since I never went to a 日本語学校) I would be in a English mindset and would definitely be shocked at your fluency in 日本語 😆😳

[@ashred9616]

You look like a model. I wonder if your performance was the only reason the teacher decided to have that class assembly? Do you know if other students performed particularly poorly? It’s kind of a curious situation and probably shouldn’t have happened like it did but yeah. Keep up the fun videos.

[@captainobvious9188]

Do you think you’ll naturalize to Japan after you’ve had your residency for five years? I have English neighbors here (from Leicester) in southwest Utah that moved here at the same time we did about 12 years ago. They can’t see themselves leaving, but prefer permanent residency over naturalizing - which makes sense to me, because they are leaving it open that they could change their mind and move back to “their homeland” if they wanted to. Where you were born and raised in Japan, Japan seems to be your actual homeland.

[@nicolad8822]

You can be a dual US/UK citizen, they could go back anytime they want. Unless maybe they have a background from elsewhere pre England which might complicate things.

I agree with the japanese students. When I heard that Japan uses 5 alphabets I noped and decided I dont care and will not learn to read. We're doing just fine with a 26 character alphabet to communicate everything and hope Japan may come to their senses. For instance oracle bone script is just the pictures of the thing youre trying to describe but then some one completely broke it and made it by memorization only. Thats broken not genki and not my fault. Also Mcdonalds. By learning that word you just learned 1/3 of the english alphabet..wow, so easy.

I can relate to how you feel about coming top in a language which is not supposed to be your native language. Many years ago, as a Chinese Malaysian, I attended a British boarding school in Shropshire for my secondary schooling. During my fifth form, I came top of the whole form for English language, including English literature. My English teacher was non-committal, just saying well done. However, my English friends basically blew their tops when they found out. They were ok with foreigners being top for science or maths based subjects, but this was the first time that a foreigner had came top for English. I supposed it didn't help that I decided to hit back by asking them if they would like me to tutor them for English :) Let's just say that I wasn't very popular with them for some time! Having worked for a Japanese company for some years, I can see that your social reactions and thinking are Japanese, and not English. Main difference is that English are more individualistic but the Japanese (like most Asians) are more group/family oriented, where belonging is more important than standing out. In many ways, I don't think you would be happy living in England because the mentality and social integration are very different from that in Japan. Just enjoy being Japanese even though you may not be a Japanese citizen. Cheers!

People in Japan feel inferior being monolingual, so make a big deal out of being multilingual. Language is just one of the skills and some are good at languages and some are not, just like any other subject, like math, science, sports, etc. so it’s perfectly ok for Japanese to not being good at 国語.

I'm glad you talked about relationships growing up because I was curious about it. I thought you might be highly desired by the Japanese boys because you were the exotic female with the blonde hair and European features. Of course, you explained the characteristics of Japanese beauty. In a way, I wish you could have experienced the tall English boyfriend dating/romance experience growing up, but as you say, you made the best of the circumstances you were given. I was just in Tokyo three months ago and experienced as much as I could in two weeks. The Grand Hyatt in Tokyo is very nice, highly recommend it. Other questions I had watching the original video: - What other aspects of Japanese culture did you experience growing up? Karate (空手)? Kyūdō (弓道)? Calligraphy (書道)? - Have you ever worn a Kimono (rented or expensive custom made)? - Do you like Japanese anime? - Have you ever cosplayed a Japanese character? Ever dress up for Halloween? - What was it like getting a Japanese drivers license? What was your first car? I love JDM cars! I've owned them all my life. - You're an attractive European female who speaks fluent Japanese, ever try earning money modeling or filming commercials? The Japanese have an interesting relationship with beautiful Caucasians in advertisements. I have other questions, but that's all for now. 😅

1:15 What Matt was trying to explain at the beginning about using the word “racist” is the result of an entire (American) generation using that word for everything that involves race. Young adults are no longer able to succinctly express situations of racial bias, favoritism, stereotypes etc., or discern instances of preconceived notions, bigotry, prejudice, discrimination etc., based on race. Everything is (inappropriately) thrown under the term “racism” which is a particularly serious term that is losing its impact bc it’s being used as a catch all with little to no regard for meaning, intent or context or it’s used “jokingly” like Matt (though he correctly shifted to the term “racially insensitive.”) I also think kids use this term so loosely precisely bc of its more severe connotation. They want to give their feelings and words strength, and what better way to do that than to constantly use the most powerful term they can think of? Why say someone is being racial insensitive when you can just call them racist to really get your point across?! Anyway, sorry for the rant, the video was very lovely and I love this exploration of multicultural upbringing and experiences, especially as someone who is biracial. I just wish there was more emphasis on explaining what’s going on here sociologically than just instances of “racism,” bc that’s not the case. 4:16 Saying Asian kids are smarter is an instance of a racial stereotype that is insensitive and potentially hurtful but it should *not* be conflated with “racism.” It actually speaks to a deeper truth about the higher standards of learning within the asian education system including a cultural difference in which many asian parents place higher expectations upon their children than most Americans do. All of this lends itself to the preconceived notion that asian kids are “smarter” but many folks simply don’t understand this and will default to calling this phenomenon as just another instance of “racism.” Know the difference!

I dont think the teacher realy understand, its one thing when you have talked the native language the whole life and another thing, even though you have dun the same but for her you are not native becouse you look european, you only wanted to be best but for her you are not Japanese, she didnt realy get it.

Do Japanese people talk about racism as much as the west? And do they try to make changes for the better? It doesn't matter if we are talking about White foreigners or Blacks or even other Asians. (Korean, Thai, Chinese, etc...) We all know the Japanese people are quiet about it. Some may not be racist but some are but they are racist in a polite way. They just don't want to talk to you. Or watch any of your movies if you are a famous person. I've seen some Anime & Mangas where they portrayed Black people as only rappers or gangsters and there are almost no Black main characters in any of their series. There might be some dark skin characters but they are not Black people.
