This Is Asian America

[@EvaAnika]

The deepest part was the contrast between the wealthy Asian-American lady in the car and the poor one picking up the can that she threw out of it. Most people are only exposed to one extreme or the other.

[@kafenwar]

For me that is Langley Park/Adelphi, Maryland in a nutshell.

[@Sabledoux]

I liked it, its important to hear everyones joy and pain. I should say, listen, not just hear.

[@trishacollymore4397]

I liked this version. I don't consider it a parody because it isn't funny. It gives you a different point of view of someone else's experiences. Good job.

[@badlandsatheist7916]

Agreed wholeheartedly. I cry when I watch and listen to it. It is intense.

[@desi00000]

wow. this was SO deep.

[@somerandomyoutubechannel5816]

This is amazing. Not really a parody as much as an unique, enlightening interpretation. Well done. I hope this takes off on youtube and people really consider what they've watched here.

@@christinachan9135 The fetishization of Asian/-American women

[@badlandsatheist7916]

This line gets me every time. All the fetishization of Asian women but never complete acceptance of Asians as a whole. Worse than rejection racism towards them but will still marry their i.e. sister.

Loved the end with them all screaming but no one hears them.. Political for sure.. Great version.

[@NemoEmo5846]

I actually feel sorry for asian people now. . its like they cant go anywhere n get treated with respect. At the end there stressed out. Successful life style is depressing

[@Animerocker11]

The narrative view for this is really small tbh, there could have been larger representation of Asian issues.

[@TowArboledaFilms]

kieu.jpeg we wanted to cover Asian American issues that are not widely talked about. High suicide rates, depression , bullying, tiger parenting, gambling addiction, immigration ice raids, mental health and being silenced. What other topics would you have liked to see?

[@Animerocker11]

Yeah that's really admirable and I super dig that. I felt like there could've been more representation for the specific discriminations beared by other east asians. Like Indians, Lebanese, other brown skin asians, etc. This is really good for a first time piece though I look forward to other stuff you guys dish out

FWIW we were already struggling to cram everything we did into a 2:45 runtime.

@@jasonchumusic Thank you for writing this song and Tow for helping him turn it his lyrics into a video. I thought it was eye opening, thought provoking, deep, intense, painful, brilliant, heartfelt, and became the voice for the silent screams. It was powerful, informative, and impactful. It is amazing. It deserves to go viral. I will share it on other platforms.

I really wish people would stop parodying this song.

[@eekaygames]

Parody = an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect. keyword there is COMIC effect. this is in no way comical and talks about the struggles of Asian Americans.

[@Grumpygrumpo]

EK Productions i bet none of the people have a problem with “this is nigeria” where they coopted black american culture.

[@khmertriad]

is it really necessary to bring up other people who did it as well to justify asian people co-opting black culture? it's like you think have such an infallible argument or something

[@Grumpygrumpo]

KhMErTRiAd LOL not even just pointing out the hypocrisy

[@khmertriad]

true, it's not a parody but the point still stands, do asian people always have to co-opt black movements and re-fit it to their own agendas? especially when the struggles featured in the original video were legitimate AND asian people are always silent about the way black folks are treated in america. it's like, wow you don't care about the struggle black people face, but you feel it's necessary to copy them to point out your own struggles.
