[@DZ-bz1ww]

@@noelakn That lady was kinda aggressive even for Chinese patrons. Then again, with Chinese customers they don't need to do so much explaining because they kinda know what is inside different dim sum. I think the underlying problem is that most of these mom n pop restaurants are understaffed coupled with their poor English, makes them more frustrated than they should be. AND, it's NYC where everyone is grumpy all the time. LOL.

@@DZ-bz1ww I think as waitress and server they should be more welcoming to customer. In NYC most of shop weren't aggressive as Chinese shop(i hope that doesn't sound racist) based through my experience. Ofc we should always look at the bad side. Not all Chinese food are aggressive and non-hospitable. Ik that nyc peeps are grumpy and aren't friendly. But i think as restaurant employees they should serve us with kindess.

Even more, CCP members arent the CCP. My ex gf was a party member and associate professor at Tsinghua, she was very ignorant about how China was viewed and what laws were being passed by the government. The control of information is just so intense, the fear of saying the wrong opinion or the split between the factions. Try to look at everyone as an individual and make sure they have the most information to make their own choices/opinions

Being American of Chinese descent and having documented Chicago's Chinatown, seeing their resilience is astounding and makes me proud to share a culture with. A hundred or so years ago they were forced out of downtown Chicago, due to crime and high rent, and started their own community a mile south on the south side. It's the only Chinatown that's growing, due to strong leadership and community. Without those key things, they would have never have thrived. Someone has got to look out for the older generations. It's a shame they're living in fear all over the country. They're the most vulnerable to people who can't keep a grip, and that's why they're constantly targeted. People want to direct their own suffering onto those who are like them on the bottom of the social ladder but still have it in them to keep their wits together. It's such a shame. Thank you for your honest assessment, wisdom, and for showing the state of NYC Chinatown to such a wide audience. Hopefully, people will shake off their misconceptions, visit, and help stand up against people trying to harm the community.

DeBozio and his stupid "progressive" ideology including catch & release "bail reform," disbanding the undercover police illegal gun confiscation units along with the demonization of the police and an elite ruling class that gaslights the public into believing that opposing crime, looting and arson somehow is "racist" led to the resurgence in crime.

These types of videos are incredibly valuable. They don't contain all the fancy editing and fluff that more established media outlets and other content on KZbin may have. I appreciate how each video just dives right into the heart of the exploration. There is no mumble jumble, no fancy intro and outro, no scripts and the questions are very sincere and thoughtful. Good work on your independent work and eliciting the thoughts and feelings of people who live in various communities. Also, it's super that you're from SF; that is super awesome.

Great points made at the beginning of the video. Coming to NYC soon for a visit. Love to look around and embrace the Chinatown there and see how it differs from Toronto's

[@yellowoceanoriginalsongs7142]

Enjoyed watching your video thanks 😊

[@bobofthestorm]

I love how there was an awkward fistbump-handshake. For sure fistbump might be ideal in the current situation we are in, but still it's great to see you not refusing a handshake when a man preferred it.

[@charliedillon1400]

Mask on his chin, shaking hands in the street, wishes more tourists would come eat in his restaurant.

[@kilobyte8321]

Aren't you supposed to do that retarded elbow bump now? LOL Scamdemic nonsense.

[@Chicago_Goofies]

Chicago's Chinatown is pretty much the same like in New York. Lots of people speaking againts the ccp and they used to have up to 20 cars driving up and down the downtown area every Saturday with signs against the ccp. The crime there has skyrocketed as well

they are fa lun gong cult members，CIA funded them，more notorious than antifa or proud boy，

Hey Peter i would like to hear from you about the topic of Cuba. I am a Cuban american and alot of people in the US ARE MISLEAD about what communism really is.. we are blessed in this free country

Thanks Peter. Enjoyed your tour.

[@jackienaiditch7965]

There is a huge Chinese community in the San Gabriel Valley (SGV), which is close to our house in Altadena (by Pasadena, CA). My husband and I often go to the SGV to eat, and especially for dim sum. We are typically the only non-Asians in these restaurants, and have always been treated with much kindness. I feel terrible about the violence Chinese communities are experiencing all over the U.S. during the pandemic. It's a very sad situation.

mate that PS logo on the top right just makes me think I'm watching a Mount Sinai Hospital sponsored clip. Also happy to hear your thoughts in the opening of the clip. Can't agree more.

[@PeterSantenello]

😂I know it's not a good logo. I'm actually in the process of rebranding with a new logo which is a huge improvement.

Another great vid my man!! A good insight into China Town NYC - please god the people will return soon and people can move forward. Thank u from London Town (Uk)!

Another great video! I love Chinatown in NYC & San Fran… Little Tokyo in LA, I’ve had one of the best times there… but like anywhere we go, you have to watch your back 😁

You deff have to go to flushing peter the largest chinatown in the US!! And theres a koreantown next door as well so a mixed of Chinese and koreans deff gotta take a trip there 👍👍

[@taiweannoona1204]

I agree, go to Koreatown. I want to see that too.

Has Flushing overtaken Manhattan Chinatown as the largest?

This makes me so sad, I’m a country girl at heart but I loved to visit pre-pandemic NYC. I’m a lover of the theater, especially musical theater. I’ve been to China town numerous times. But now, due to the rise in crime and many of the new regulations I can no longer go. NYC relies heavily on tourism, they are already suffering due to the shutdowns but now they are discriminating towards people like me and it’s sad to see how it’s effecting the ordinary people of the city who have worked hard to make a new life for themselves. I am also an immigrant so I know that side as well. 💕 I can’t wait for the day that I can go back and enjoy the things and places I have come to love.

I really want you to check out the less popular cities that have been thriving during the pandemic. If you come out here to Arizona (really any city) you'll think nothing ever happened here. Can't promise it'll give you good content, haha! But I think it'll be interesting to show your audience the dichotomy between the big cities that you've shown and how the rest of the states are working out during COVID times.

"People are not politics" Never a better word said in these modern times. Time and time again I try to tell my friends to stop arguing over politics. Politicians at the top have all been corrupted long before they got there left and right.

[@miaadAl-sm3ng]

Thanks for the video And I ask everyone who reads my comment to accept this important issue. The people are separate from the government and a government should not be representative of the people because this is an unfair view. In dictatorial and aunormal governments, the people of that country suffer the most. Love and peace from Iran.
