Hey Laowinners!
I have a mixed race (Chinese and white) daughter, and raising her in China has been a challenge and a reward. My friend Michael has raised his mixed children in China for over 8 years. We talk about the advantages, Chinese and western perspective, and our experiences having mixed race children in China.

Having mixed race kids in China, maybe you could pay more attention to whether or not your kids are getting bullied in school. I'm mixed myself and got bullied, some of my classmates in primary school called me "The foreigner"and liked to hold me down on the floor while spitting on my face. Caused me a lot of problems during my childhood. Still even these days the stares from random people on the strees once in a while are enough to trigger my anxiety.

[@therock8224]

A mixed race kid attending an international school will have no such problems. Only in local schools might it be an issue. As for people staring at you on the street, are you sure they are really staring at you? It's easy to be paranoid when you have low self-esteem. That being said, I feel sympathetic towards your situation, but all countries have problems with racial discrimination. It used to be worse than it is today, even in China. Countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Myanmar are a little better as they are more ethnically diverse than China so a mixed-race Asian/Caucasian person barely stands out to begin with.

[@therock8224]

@n i n a In Ireland or where?

[@therock8224]

@n i n a Hmm. When was this? It's rare for me to hear anyone call me a "farang" despite me speaking the language fluently. And no, I'm not even of mixed heritage. The only times I am regularly called a "farang" is by hill tribes at a roadside market in the mountains of northern Thailand - they're trying to be nice though, even though I don't care too much for the word but context is everything. Everywhere else, most Thais are polite and very rarely make such remarks although children and teenagers are more likely to use it than adults. As for my children, most Thais if they're curious, will simply ask what's their other race/ethnicity? Haven't heard anyone call my children "farang" I think times have changed or you are hearing things that aren't there. That isn't to say Thailand isn't a judgmental society, but both westerners and mixed race Eurasian Thais are so common these days, with the number of Thais in relationships with foreigners being far higher than in any other Asian country other than Singapore and the Philippines. Therefore, Thais are by and large more used to seeing farang and Eurasian Thais than Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean and other Asian nationalities.

[@therock8224]

@n i n a Another thing is, a mall is the last place I'd expect passersby to notice differences between people. Many shopping mall restaurants and stores attract foreign shoppers and patrons. It's to be expected that an American restaurant like Sizzler will have westerners as patrons on a daily basis. That shouldn't surprise any Thai. In fact, what surprises me more is that Thais have taken a liking to Sizzler as they have, given it's "farang food". I would expect people to call out "farang" much more at a country fair in rural Isarn where there are few other foreigners around. That being said, the more upmarket the mall, the more sophisticated and diverse the patrons are going to be - no one is going to point out a farang or an Indian or black person at MBK, Paragon or even Mega Bang Na. That would be ridiculous because some of those malls see more foreign patrons than Thais anyway. Conversely, if you go to a Big C in an upcountry town where few foreigners live or travel to, which is where the lower middle class masses shop, then you may find people a little more curious though usually no one pays attention to farang and even less so to mixed race kids (unless they're very cute). 20 years ago, it was different - nowadays Thais have got more important things to do than care about farang or mixed race kids walking through malls. I can't imagine there's a single Thai anywhere in the country who hasn't seen a farang - we're everywhere! This is hardly surprising given the tourism industry.

[@therock8224]

@n i n a I see. Thanks for sharing your story. I certainly hear the word "farang" uttered from time to time, generally more from people I know than strangers but it's usually harmless though I totally get why you don't like the word. Besides, technically you aren't a farang anyway.

[@MrTynanDraper]

I'm pretty sure between the KZbin channel dedicated to his daughter and the modelling and dance/performance training that he wants his daughter to be a celebrity in China. .and it's quite attainable. But I'm not sure it's the best kind of thing for an 8 year old to always be the center of attention. . certainly when she is older it would be great as a career IF she wants it. Child celebrities don't have great track records. I'm saying this as a father of a boy currently in China.

I am half Chinese and half Ethiopian, grew up in China in the early 2000s until I was 8, and totally relate to everything that was said in this video. I very evidently do not look Chinese (darker skin, curly hair, etc.) but speak Mandarin fluently, and that throws people off the most. It must be more accepting now in 2017, but racism was something I experienced very significantly in school. It made me smile hearing all these positive things said about raising mixed children in China now :)

[@atrackbtrack]

I dont want to be all negative here but chinese love mix white and chinese kids. They are still pretty racist.

[@shelli-ann9369]

Unfortunately the Chinese love caucasians, it's not the same to be mixed black, they will admire the white mix but scorn the black mix. They don't even want to get a tan, they don't want to be in the sun so they dont get tanned, double standard, it's really sad.

Hope you don't take this the wrong way. But you probably took a lot more discrimination due to your darker skin color. It's just how it is in China. :|

[@christopherwhiteman6199]

8:00 "Do they treat her like a Chinese person...?" I think he answered that question very well. I'm half-Korean and grew up in Korea and can relate a lot to what that child is experiencing. I think that this father is doing a really good job and seeing things that many interracial parents do not see: that being unique has both strengths and weaknesses but it's mostly important to capitalize on the strengths. Interracial parents who have half-asian children should really see things this way.

@inbred autist Actually, a lot of people in Mexico think that they're all "mestizo", but this is misleading and has led to the invisibilization of other people groups and of the fact that NOT ALL Mexicans are mixed race. Mexico has been a melting pot of cultures since 1521, so it is common to think that by now most people would be mixed, but that is most certainly not the case and even if Mexico was a Spanish colony, that doesn't mean that it is only European/Amerindian. Yes, people from all over Europe came to Mexico, but so did people from Asia and Africa, even if at a lesser extent. In my city everyone is mostly Korean/Lebanese/Afrocaribbean/Mayan/European and we acknowledge our multicultural and multiracial origins, we are not just European/Amerindian. It is the same for the rest of Mexico, Afromexican populations have disappeared from the public eye and most of the Afromexican population got assimilated, but we still carry their genes. The same goes for our Filipino heritage! If you look at me, you'd probably think that I'm white, but I had a DNA test and I saw that I am 70% European (only 30% Iberian), 8% Amerindian, 8% Middle East & Northern Africa... Those are all things you'd expect from Mexican people, since we were a European colony and the Spanish were invaded by the Arabs after all. HOWEVER, the remaining 14% was mostly ASIAN and from places I would've never expected! I have Indonesian, Chinese, Filipino and Vietnamese ancestry, as well as some West African blood! And I am an average "white" Mexican! The thing is, I am not an exception, most Mexicans are the same, no matter what their dominant genes are, we are all a mix of everything and we should be proud of that, because it really does make us unique. There are some people who are not mixed, nevertheless. That is particularly true for some indigenous peoples and for some white people whether it be in Mexico City or in a Menonite community. There are also many first generation Mexicans whose parents are fresh off the boat, and they are most definitely not mixed race! That's whenever I hear people say I am half Mexican (or Brazilian, Colombian, American, Canadian, etc) I don't even know what to expect, because that doesn't say anything about you after all, what does it mean to be Mexican? My grandpa was white and from an upper middle class and he spoke Mayan at home. My grandma came from an impoverished Jewish German household and she spoke Yiddish at home! I get sad when people don't realize how diverse we are and this is mostly because American media and Mexican media as well fail to depict the reality of what we actually are. I wish we could see more Afromexican and Asian-Mexicans on TV shows as main characters, there are so many in my city that I think it is heartbreaking for them not to see themselves represented in their national TV! For them to go to Mexico City and be asked if they speak Spanish or how they learned it. Let's embrace our multicultural heritage and accept each other in spite of our physical differences, we all share the experience of being Mexican, we share our food, traditions, humor, pain and the land we stand on! That is the real essence of being Mexican, not where your genes come from and that is most definitely not only Europe/America. :D

I have a mixed-race daughter in China and raising her here can be very rewarding, however it is also quite difficult at times, especially when random people try to touch and fuss over her. Although this is done with the best of intentions it is somewhat intrusive. Overall, I would say I am happy to be raising her here for the early years of her life but eventually it would make sense if we leave. I want her long-term to feel like part of a community and not on the outside looking in, constantly been labelled based on her ethnicity.

@Gary Wood *Why nowadays people are so addicted to mixing up things* ?

Gary Wood saw that exact thing happening at a school I taught at recently. There was one mixed race kid in the school in grade 2 and he was getting that bullshit from others. It just confirmed for me that it’s not worth thinking about sending your kids to school here. Unless you can afford a good international school somewhere like shanghai. Back home they’re guaranteed to have classmates of different races including other mixed raced kids.

I have triplet Irish-American/Hong Kong-Chinese mixed nieces. They were living in Shanghai, and as mixed triplets, they really got too much attention. (Especially in a country with 1 child policy - multiple siblings were already unusual). People are commenting about how much attention mixed kids get in China - imagine triplet mixed kids. They really couldn't go to crowded places - lots of people would be pointing and screaming "san bao tai" (triplets) quite aggressively - to the point it scared the triplets. I hate to say it, but sometimes it felt like they were treated like a freak show. My brother decided to move the family to Canada - now the kids speak English, Mandarin, Cantonese and quite good French and a bit of Japanese. All 3 are superstars!

[@earthstar7534]

In China I didn t fit because I wasn't full Chinese and felt inherently less. I moved to America and was classed as white passing by minorities so treated as inherently less, yet white people see me as obviously other so I get treated like they are afraid to offend me so much so I get put in a corner that is again treated so gently I get treated as less. Mixed Chinese brings a feeling of fitting nowhere, belonging to no group, excluded by everyone. Too white to Chinese, too Chinese to be white. My feeling is I belong nowhere. I expected less racism in America, but people are so obsessed with race and the privilege of being "white" or an entitlement for other minorities to treat people mixed with white as less than. American whites are the least racist people I have delt with, which came as a surprise. I didn't expect to be treated worst by other minorities.

Laowhy86: I continue to love your videos, this was an especially heartwarming one. My wife and I have two daughters half Caucasian and half Japanese, we have similar experiences when we lived in Japan. Everything from who each culture raises a child and the different things parents do (example: in Japan the kids often sleep in the same bed as the parents until they are about 5 or 6) to how society becomes so curious/attracted towards mixed kids. As an American, I totally understand how there is an urge to raise one's kids to enjoy life as you live it and not cram every minute into a child's education, this is a big departure from the Chinese/Japanese style of cramming math and overall education every single second for preparation to the life changing school exams. I think that system definitely works for some kids who are very studious, but for those who are more creative, artistic, creative minded kids, that style of education can be very stressful. Kids are not all made out of the same a cookie mold. It is a pitty more school systems don't test first for learning style and then give kids the plan based off their personality. That's an issue in every country's education system I think...... Anyway, thanks for the video!

I grew up in Beijing China. I am mix raced, my mom is Chinese and my dad is Australian, and some of the things they mentioned is definitely true. The influence of both western culture from my father and the Chinese culture from where I lived and my mother really made growing up interesting.

This was really great to watch as I have a daughter with my Chinese girlfriend. When we went back to Shanghai to visit, my daughter and I definitely got a lot of comments and looks. I think because it's hard for most people to identify where I'm from, I got just as much attention as my daughter did. People would ask my girlfriend where I was from and where she met me. I got guesses as being everything from Russian to Middle Eastern and even being mixed myself. I'm actually Colombian but many even when being told that, had no real idea where that is. My daughter got a lot of positive comments as well but there were a few times when the attention got a little overwhelming.

@@tatianalp2847 Hi there! This was a couple of years ago. The sentiment has changed towards foreigners, particularly Americans. Back when I went, China hadn't made the swing toward being more Nationalistic. If you're Colombian, play up on that more as sentiment towards America has soured. To be honest, I won't even go back because I am an American citizen. Check out Laowhy's video when he had to escape from China. I'm not trying to scare you, but just know that the political climate has changed since I went.

The one thing I find interesting about Adelai is how she has very American facial expressions. How people smile, smirk etc. can be distinct depending on the culture and when I see her talking my brain is having a hard time reconciling the fact she was not raised in the United States.

[@gregbrogan9061]

I'm a white American guy, but raised in Asia without any childhood memories of America... I began to notice that when I'm speaking Mandarin with Chinese my body language was different than when I was with foreigners speaking English... It really stood out to me one particular day - I had moved to America for university (which had very few Asians) and I saw a group of Chinese parents & kids on campus who looked lost. So I walked up to them and asked in Mandarin if I could help them... but I hadn't been speaking mandarin for a while and I was actually struck by how my body mannerisms felt different as I spoke mandarin.

[@blondegaijin]

c-Milk u have quite a bit of natural talent for interviewing - good flow, active listening, transitions, voice inflection, gestures. It's rare that people have all those, but you do.

[@Greataronski]

This is honestly such a good video

[@MarieF0528]

How are you not super famous yet??? These videos are amazing!

[@bradwall8596]

Great video. I can't believe I haven't seen this one until now. But it's definitely a great video. Always so interesting and informative. Thanks for all your wonderful videos brother. Stay safe and always god bless you and your beautiful family.

[@Wysiwyg43]

Laopapas!! Everything I wanted to know, but were afraid to ask! Excellent video with mad editing skills, C-Milk! As a parent of a mixed race child in the USA, nobody bats an eye at us anymore. It only happened when my kid was younger and people would ask me if I was the nanny or babysitting! WTF?! My kid's a teen now and the looks have changed to where my kid looks more latino or from the middle east. People are still shocked when they meet me as the mother... sigh~ I'm too black and pretty, I guess. LOL

[@WISH-vw1tg]

Wow! People asked if you were the nanny?? You are owed an apology...people need to stop stereotyping people from what the see on TV. You sound like a great mom!! Good vibes to you and your family!!!

[@laowhy86]

That is a pretty rude comment to call you a nanny. Even if you are too pretty! Keep up the awesome comments!

[@Quarksi]

Ben Hussain, well aren't you a bundle of sunshine. At any rate...this is the privilege people speak of...the privilege to not be harassed by trolls for simply mentioning that you're black lol

[@twincherry4958]

Maybe you looked too young to have a child....back then????

[@sandeew.544]

wysiwyg43 agggh I too had the nanny question, but only by racist people who never broke me or my spirit, it's more their ignorance, with the 20 questions before they get that you are the mother and he is the father, in my case white husband, Mexican and black me lol, to most we are just 2 Americans with gorgeous kids! So good job to you and all the others helping to make this truly one world!

[@aniek4489]

awesome vid, once again

[@extraordinary3171]

Listen to EXO- Monster Hi fellow EXO-L. 👋🏻😁

[@tokorojj]

I felt ABSOLUTELY identified with both of you, guys! great channels!

[@pamelabatchelor9204]

What a fabulous video C-Milk. Thank you so much this is such a great perspective. I will enjoy family videos and what kids and families are doing. Are there more Japan trip videos coming.?

[@laowhy86]

The series will come out soon, I have at least 10 vids!

[@raquelalbano170]

I'm surprised no one is mentioning how incredibly GORGEOUS she is! Mixed or not, who cares? People probably stare at her because she is breathtaking and everyone wants to know who gave birth to such a beauty. She is not only exotic but also graceful looking. Congrats to the parents and good luck, she is going to be a heartbreaker.

[@xenotypos]

Was thinking the same thing. I often "heard" that in east asia, half asians half caucasians are considered beautiful, especially in places like Japan (I even heard a Japanese (just one) saying that that particular mix erase the aesthical downsides of each races). Honestly, I was thinking "it's just because we only see the beautiful ones and not the others", and I still think it's not totally wrong. But I have to admit that from my personal (limited) experience, each time I saw a random half white half asian girl, even if the parents aren't that stunning (no offense for the dad here), she's gorgeous. Even those that don't do any youtube stuff, regular people (though the one on this video was beyond them honestly). Why is that.

[@raquelalbano170]

xenotypos Lucky genes! I need to find myself some good Asian male genes to make a beautiful baby hihihihi (this is obviously a joke). On a purely scientific level though, I wonder why that happens. Maybe the best features are dominant?

[@xenotypos]

Since it's the features liked in east asia, and not "especially" liked (or disliked) in the west, I think their preference may also be due to their own beauty standard (and mine it seems). Since it's cultural ("best features" is a subjective concept), science may not be of a great a help. Let's say it's a nice coincidence. At the very least it totally works on me (and them).

[@raquelalbano170]

xenotypos You'd be surprised. I meant symmetry and the like when I said best features. Although beauty standards differ greatly around the world, humans have some basic common preferences that makes us attractive, and maybe these are dominant? Survival of the species and all that. Now, about the other characteristics you are referring to, I honestly don't know... thinking of starting your own harem? :p

[@xenotypos]

Lol I didn't mean it that way, I guess my crappy english skills made it confusing. It's just that I also personally admire that aesthetics, as east asians often do. But in reality, ethnicity is rarely taken into account when I'm dating someone.

[@Hydroponic21]

laowhy you are one of my favorite youtubers keep up the good work i love how you teach us the chinese culture god bless you and your beautiful family :) #laowhyforpresident

[@laowhy86]

I humbly accept

[@rogerburns7055]

Great video and greater discussion, especially since my family is multi cultural from different parts of Asia, different colors, different cultures. Thanks for posting this !

[@Teej.Images]

Hey! Love your channel and seeing China from your view! It's quite refreshing

[@KILLITWITHFIRE]

She is a very cute kid! There's no doubt when she grows up, she'll be a beautiful lady!

[@NordicAdvRider]

This was one of the best vlogs you ever done. Continue in same style and I will subscribe

[@mercedesmaguire1413]

My new favorite channel 😊❤️

[@brians900]

Just watched your video and it brings back a lot of very fond memories. Straight away, I'd like to say that you both have very lovely daughters and you have every right as fathers to be as proud as you can be. I have two Eurasian daughters myself, the eldest of which I just sent off to college. They grew up until their middle school years in Asia, and a lot of what you say resonates with me. Ignore what the detractors say, as their comments come from a place of complete ignorance. With that being said, mixed race kids will always have a unique perspective and be able to understand issues from more than one side. They are also generally more empathetic and slower to judge. They possess a very heightened level of curiosity and are voracious consumers of both their parents' cultures as well. As much as they learn from you, you will also learn from them. Just as you say, they have an unbiased outlook on new experiences and it's great to be able to tap into that as a parent. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and looks forward to your adventures and also seeing your daughter grow! ^_^

[@ashleyrose4196]

She’s sooo pretty I’m so jealous 😭

[@gambucino1260]

im so glad that these guys actually care about their partners culture.

[@kaitlynb7215]

I bet she has such a bright future! It's so interesting to hear about different cultures

[@asceses1]

Ive just discovered your channel ... this is with out doubt one of the most interesting channels ive come across in a long time .... love it! and what a beautiful family you guys all are (both families)

[@dncviorel]

Moral of the story: complete white + complete Chinese = almost complete Chinese 😁

[@Drachepower]

Andrei Piatra she look white

[@dncviorel]

I think she looks beautiful. She obviously got the best from both parents.

[@Neku628]

Well, very few people are completely one race.

[@-haclong2366]

It's funny, Asians see an Asian+White "that person looks completely white", Whites see an Asian+White "that person looks completely Asian".

[@therock8224]

@@Drachepower Don't be ridiculous. She looks more Asian than white.

[@user-eb4dv7py4m]

You can be a below average looking white guy with a below average looking asian wife. And you'd still make a beautiful baby. Even those who look nearly fully asian or fully white are still a beautiful mix. Him and his wife are on the average scale in terms of looks and have been blessed with a beauty's daughter who FITS the beauty standard of asia. Lighter skin/hair and a bit bigger eyes or at least has a crease. Asian women see white men regardless what you look like as a social status and white men are fascinated by asian women because its different to their own culture. I'm all for those who loves someone regardless what their ethic background is, however, I don't appericate seeing people boasting about their children being better than any other child. I know this because I'm a product of a asian woman and a white man. It's true mixed children in Asia get extra benefits and it's so sad that I see parents parading their mixed children about like it's some sort of achievement. Yes you should be proud of your child regardless but wanting a mixed child simply because they would be mixed .. Internal racism is a massive thing in asian society. Of course I understand not everyone thinks this way, but the countless of times I seen it I do worry about it. Showing your child off like that can be damaging to the child because they can either think they are superior, making other beautiful children feel inferior or the opposite, get self conscious to fit into the beauty standard. My friend who's mixed race was teased because she looked nearly full asian. The asian gene is very dominant so white and asian parents should be prepared to understand that their children might not come out looking as "white" as they thought. You should love your child regardless if they are full asian. And those people who are fascinated of these biracial people, of course you can be fascinated, but treated them like they are superior and boosting their ego won't make them any better than any other. And don't take advantage just because your child is classed as "unique" looking. The beauty world is really unfair. (I had to edit because after posting I noticed my spelling mistakes)

[@Deedric_Kee]

Great video, I love these positive vibes in the video. The looks adorable you did great, I love listening to you guys 👏

[@igorhenrique835]

Awesome video!!

[@Will-sq3ip]

I’m a Westernized Asian, you may heard of “Twinkie” or “Banana”; Yellow on the outside; White in the inside. Sometimes I think myself related with mixed-blooded Asians. We’re both in between different cultures. The difference is how we look.

[@aislinnsexkitten18]

Soooo not to throw the race card out there(I hate doing that😒) But we all know if he was any other race he would be singing a different tone. I'm just saying the Asian culture prides themselves on white skin, and I'm not saying they see Caucasian people as superior but let's be honest if that kid had dark skin it will be different.

[@lolamonroe2501]

PinkPanda Rage There's a lot of YT videos touching on that subject "growing up Black in China"..it's sad how racism towards Blacks transcends across continents..

[@BB-mp4ih]

Yeah you’re right they pride themselves only on white people I was in China with my boyfriend we are both blond green eyed they were starring at us 🤨

[@myshanamakisi6063]

Valid point. Unfortunately, the ideal of white 'supremacy' has been adopted throughout the world. I hope her life is more focused on other than her 'mixed' raced. bc to be quite honest, i wouldn't know she was bi-racial unless she told me. To the eye, they look Chinese.

[@cesteres]

Indeed see the Ethiopian example in earlier comment.

[@dominicfastbender4029]

That was really really racist. Wow. China is very homogenous. Yes of course people will react to someone radically different but they wont necessarily be negative.

[@markh1085]

Awesome video Matt. I must say you have a lovely family. It is great to see what life is like on the ground in China. I find it fascinating to see it from a family mans point of view. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@vollsticks]

Two proud parents! Lovely, interesting video, all the best to both your families :)

[@badw01f23]

This is so cool. im so glad she gets all these awesome opportunities. She has such a bright future ahead of her. I just hope it doenst get to her head as she gets older. A culture that is so obsessed with your outer appearance and is giving someome privilege because of it can be detrimental to a young child and make a more undesirable adult. to put it kindly

[@gonzalos4379]

Pretty girl always gets away with a lot of things no matter you are mix-blood or 100% chinese, and by the way, she looks really really differently pretty in China

[@fishlikeyoio2198]

I am from boston and really find your channel addictive.I don't how are u behind the camera but u seems like a really good human too.

[@modustollens5713]

Great video as always.

[@ronrichmond9916]

These stories about mixed-race children are always about daughters. I'm familiar with a few cases of mixed-race sons....the boys don't seem to be as successful as the girls.

[@ronrichmond9916]

True, but I meant to confine my observations to the White-Chinese mix.

[@therock8224]

I doubt this is true. Plenty of successful boys too. Just seems to be the case that people are having more girls than boys. Most families I know have girls; a few with 2 children have been blessed to have a boy and girl but many end up with 2 girls.

[@chadchadson3894]

These two guys' wives boyfriends must love it when they're out youtubing and podcasting

[@tonywang5864]

This is nice topic. Delighted to watch your channel. My baby girl is about 1 year older. Challenge is on the way, but stay positive that what we always do. :)

thanks for the video, the only one on youtube which actually is informative on this topic, my wife is Chinese and we are expecting a baby for this year

[@extremeguy967]

by the love of god I severly hope he's not going to make her take the gaokao and make her go to a Chinese uni, I hope he let's her finish school internationally

[@kimmelzhang4185]

extreme nope, even she will go to a Chinese university, which is not very possible, because of her foreign identity, she can take a exam that way easier than GAO kao, and has a wide variety of choices. Moreover, even for Chinese kids, gaokao is not the only choice, especially for rich ones, they can just take sat and study in American unis

[@ryansadventuresontheintern7967]

I do believe she would have a much happier life in the West

[@honkhonk8009]

Gaokao is terrible. No one should be subject to that.

[@crystaltheo8494]

Wow so people who are born in China but are mixed with something arent allowed to go to university??

They think America is racist 😆 try China

Thanks for another great video. It's interesting to see the differences between the two cultures. But, how do the kids feel??

[@user-gr9zw9cj2w]

Beth Roesch *hi Mary... Some of them after grown up will feel being rejected from either side societies. Some of them will learn how to take the advantage of this mix* ... *I am pretty positive of those mixed kids between Americans and Chinese. When they grow up. They will find they got two most powerful and developed motherlands* .

[@mandowarrior123]

How people make them feel, thus that doesn't really matter. In a place that makes them feel bad, the fault is the place, not the children or parents.

[@MrMaxGoldman]

I lived in China as a mixed kid from 1994-2009. I thoroughly enjoyed this video!

[@colinp2238]

This was a really nice video. She is so cute and you both made sensible comments (not like you do with Prozzy).Cmilk when you said Wow you really sounded Chinese! Michael needs to visit the States because the song isn't Small Town Alabama but Sweet Home Alabama. Well done and I think that I will check out Michael's channel and please make more sober videos like this in future.

[@damo9dong]

Michael's daughter has a star quality

[@MumblesMarbleMouth]

Not trying to sound like a creep but his daughter is absolutely beautiful. She could go into acting or something like Angelababy. My wife and I are both very curious how our kids will look. Most half Asians boys and girls look very good.

[@forteastro6996]

Not creepy at all. I am thinking likewise of how my children will look: Half Filipino Half white skinned Mexican

[@Spodeboy]

I think mixed kids are the cutest kids. I have 2 of them myself. I immigrated here from Taiwan 44 years ago. My wife is Caucasian. In the US, we get stares from older white people and as well as Chinese people that point and stare at us. When my kids were toddlers, they looked very Chinese. When my wife would take them to the store sometimes people ask her if our kids were adopted from China.

[@AMTFan1]

Such an interesting video, story and life! :D
