She from Melbourne, she grew up with whites, her upbringing is different. Im from 90's Sydney Cabramatta, All Viets, Islanders & Cambodians since 90's (Viets where pretty much only Asian sticking up for other Asian on the streets & prison). Late 90's Richmond & Footscray in Melbourne where full of Viets & some Chinese in her state of Melbourne, Filos are all in the western suburb of Melbourne, Koreans been here since 2000's. She sounds like she grew up & hang out with whites majority of her life in Australia. Chonny would give u a better understanding of Australian/Asian. Asian been here since 80's.

[@joemamabiden3893]

nothing wrong woth that tho, it's her perspective from her own experience.

[@mischifhn]

@@joemamabiden3893 Definitely nothing wrong with it, if she is saying it's her experience. But she not, she claiming there wasn't many Asian in Australia until after 2000 nor there is any Filos or Koreans. JK talking about Asian Culture in Australia & she doesn't give an accurate depiction of the Asian/Australian culture. KZbinrs like Chonny or Confit/Zoku Creative would give a better understanding of Asian/Australian Culture since they grew up in Asian suburbs.

I was about to say the same thing lol my great great grandfather is Philippino and came here during the Gold rush. There are like several generations going back to gold rush days in the Northern Territory. I grew up in South West Sydney so Cabramatta is my hood.

To all you non-Australians...while Melbourne is an "okay" comparison for Asian Australian experiences....JK needs to interview a Sydneysider as we have the most Asians out of any city, and would argue for each Asian ethnicity, we have the largest communities for ALL of them...maybe not Indian but definitely everything else. Sydney has a large Korean community and it's a split between 3 groups - fobby Koreans, the Westernised Koreans, and the half-breeds (1.5-ers as they're called by some Koreans I know). Sydney.... especially out west...has a large Filipino community as well. While it's true we don't have alot of Mexicans...Sydney however does have the largest Latin American Community in Australia. Y'all need to interview a Sydneysider (preferably someone who isn't from the Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, or the Shire) if you want better insight into the Australian experience for Asians.

Her experience is very interesting. Having grown up in Brisbane, my experience is complete opposite of hers. I graduated on 05 for context.

[@rachelledellavecchia4951]

My experience in Brisbane was different too. I graduated highschool in 01 @ NCC in Brisbane. There were quite a few Asians in my classes and always top of the class. The school had no tolerance to bullying as it was a Christian school. I think the Asians were pretty popular. Also studied International Business and Japanese @ QUT till 06 and there were a lot of Asian exchange students especially Chinese students in my Japanese class. I also worked at Coles Chermside we had a huge Asian section to cater for the Asian community in and around Chermside. When I was a kid in Mt Isa there were quite a few Chinese- Aboriginal kids. I remember them being really fierce and being the bullies. In highschool the only Asian I saw get bullied was one who was fresh off the boat in Emerald Queensland he got teased for his accent and him limited vocab. My husband who is Swiss Italian experienced the same bullying a decade before when he newly emigrated as a teen. I currently live in outback WA in the wheat belt. There are a lot of Asians in Katanning. I love being a part of a diverse community.

[@thebaddestmofoinoz]

The Asian community is mostly new since the White Australia policy was only dismantled in 1973. So most immigrants made their way here after that, like my family. My parents and my older brother came here in 1980. The bulk of the mass Vietnamese migration wave was pretty much between 1980-1990. But there are some really old communities scattered around. Most people don't know that the Chinese have been in Australia since 1818, so like over 200 years. I've met Chinese folk who've had family here since the 1850s when their ancestors came over for the Gold Rush. That's why one of the Chinese names for Australia is 新金山 New Gold Mountain. America of course, is the OG Gold Mountain. 😂 And up in Northwestern Australia before the White Australia policy was enacted, some Japanese and Chinese labourers came to work in the pearling and sea cucumber industries and eventually settled, some intermingled with the local Aboriginal population. It's why there are some Blackfellas running around with Chinese names, like Jimmy Chi, a popular playwright and musician. Around the same time, quite a few Afghans came here to work in Camel Caravans. One of the oldest mosques in Australia was established by Afghans. And then there's the Sikh banana farmers of Woolgoolga and northern NSW, and they've been there for over a century. Asian migration here is pretty fascinating story. Sorry, as Anthony would say, "You got too real!" 😂 I just like talking about this subject.

Surprised about the lack of Koreans in Melbourne. I’m from a Korean/Chinese area of Sydney. The Korean population is significant and is in many areas such as Strathfield through to Eastwood which covers many suburbs. And it’s certainly visible now in Korean with many K-Pop groups having more Australian members than American members of late. But for me it was funny walking through the Lotte department store in Seoul and hearing a couple with Aussie accents around me speaking English. I turned to them and say “G’Day 😂”. It was a group from near me in Sydney in Korea to visit grandparents. I’m sure there are plenty of LA Koreans doing exactly the same thing. In terms of population comparison there is a higher percentage of Koreans living in Sydney than LA but higher in LA than Melbourne. Mexicans…. Well they’re here (all my mates are either Latino or Asian), but Mexicans are only 4000 in total for all of Australia. Filipinos are primarily in Sydney too

In Melbourne there's a huge Filo population in the western suburbs. There's tons of Koreans in Sydney (just visit Strathfield). Guzman is absolute trash. Majority of asians are newish immigrants, however we do have a small population of Chinese that came during the gold rush. Immigration in the 60s-80s was mainly from HK, Singapore, Malaysia. 80's-90's, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia. 00's-10's, mainland Chinese. 10's-now, subcontinent (India).

I love a lot of different Asian cultures, and I absolutely love the food.✌️

[@rachelledellavecchia4951]

I'm here for the food. I love learning about other cultures through food.

[@ems1488]

An interesting viewpoint on Asian Culture in Melbourne specifically, obviously she can't speak for Asians in Sydney because she doesn't reside there. But interesting you talked about racism and how the "white people" used to be racist, and then around the @6.15 - 6.18 you make it pretty obvious you feel away about Indians. Contradict yourself much.

[@adam.o8183]

Thank you.... i'm glad somebody said it and the 'Jungle Asians' comment.

American food has too much salt and sugar

I have so much insight into this, growing up in Sydney in the north shore Chatswood, or Chatswong haha. Then I moved to the west I’ve seen it all. Sydney was mainly old school Viets , Chinese and hongkis that moved during the 60s and of course lots of subterranean brothers. Then the in the 80s to 90s a lot of Koreans moved over along with a steady flow of Japanese people and a handful of Filos and the jungle asians; Indos, Malaysians and Thai. Now a lot of Nepalese and Mongolian post covid but it’s amazing what each cultures contributed to Sydney. There’s always a Thai, Chinese, Indian restaurant in most places in Sydney, sushi is a staple and Korean barbecue and soju is a typical night out with friends. Sydney is basically so Asian even if you can not speak English and get by lol. Eastwood or Ewoo is divided into two sides, The Korean side and Chinese/Hongki side and you would feel like a stranger if you were white haha. The Viets usually reside in the west, like Cabramatta, Bankstown along with the Filos in Mount Druitt and Blacktown which is a bit north but. Chinese people live everywhere but places like Burwood, and the city is where they live. Harris park and Westmead has a lot of Indians. A lot of Koreans live in Chatswood, Strathfield, Lidcombe. And Japanese live in Artarmon but they’re usually scattered. What’s more interesting though is our Arabic cousins add a bit of spice to Sydney haha they have their own accent and their influence in Sydney is huge. Can’t forget to mention our fellow oceanic islander brothers, they’re like our version of Mexicans? 😅 very hard working honest people Our version of abg is lg lol, you go to a rave it’s all asians and arabs here 😂

[@lilth501]

In Australia I think the dominant sugar is fructose or sucrose, whilst in America they tend to use corn syrup to Australians that would have a very different sweetness to are taste buds it would appear to sugary. I think the hook-up culture particularly for Asian women just like in America they seem to prefer white or European.

[@kappa_feel]

It’s crazy how much people think asians are good kids but we go hard at raves.😂😂😂

Yeah, it used to be, you'd go to a Japanese restaurant in melb and all the staff would be korean.

[@SigmaLegendus69]

That intro sounded like a mix between traditional accent, aussie accent, with aussie english mixed with accented english from your own race and ethnicity and its diversity. It happens to any foreign race or ethnicity, once the culture mixes in with another country's culture, starting as an immigrant, then settling in and own culture blends in especially with language and communication.

[@fazalihtisham4421]

As someone born and raised in Hong Kong, her Cantonese accent is pretty bad, sounds like if a foreigner has been learning Cantonese for a few years

[@anonymousblogger3964]

She's an aussie born and raised

[@CuddlyBarkxo]

Thai is so amazing here in Aus. I get it weekly for about a decade. It’s so good. Edit: I absolutely love that Australia is so multicultural and have access to great quality ingredients. We have pretty decent Sushi, Chinese, Indian, especially Thai but ykwim, it’s an amazing place for different types of food.

[@tje3660]

“We care about our farmers” Can you interview a real Asian-Australian?

[@user-ut3dy5jz6s]

when she said theres no Koreans shes talking about her city Melbourne has she been to Sydney Bankstown

[@divid3d]

she's hardly an expert on Melbourne either - there's plenty of Mexican options (fast food and proper restaurants) other than guzman. it's not like North America, but to narrow it down to one franchise is ridiculous. there have also been Chinese people here since the gold rush.

[@DekThai101]

Koreans = Bankstown? More like Viet and Arab plus African. If you wanna see Korean vibe, head straight to Strathfield or Burwood

[@annanguyen6087]

So they ask her why there is no night life and she simply answers “it’s just dumb”. She provides no history on why states in Australia have introduced lock out laws, and very little information that is actually helpful or provides actual insight into life in Australia.

Wdym We have filos in Australia , idk about Melbourne but nsw and Sydney we definitely have Philippinos, and they aren’t weird , they’re normal . And Sydney has a plenty of Koreans but, but they don’t go out of Sydney much. But Indians are everywhere in Australia

[@MRjayytee89]

Melbourne culture is a little different than Sydney. To her point at 9:25 there are a lot asian people who are 2nd generation even 3rd generation raised here. Of course we have a lot of international students, but venture to other parts of Sydney besides inner city (Blacktown - Filipino, Cabra - Vietnamese, Eastwood - Korean, Hurstville - Chinese).

[@NinjaSaitama]

So she is that type of Australian Asian. Im Australian Asian myself. Also got bullied in my early teens, but also had many non asian friends. I discovered Asians can be just as racist as white ppl. As for Asians migration goes back as far gold rush. She should know better since shes from Victoria where i live. Places like Ballarat and Bendigo have generations of asians. As for Mexicans yes there are not many however we have many latin migrants that come from other latin countries.

[@Keyrose-my3xr]

Yet she is being racist.

[@milosayshi]

Sydney has a huge Korean population. Since 1990. She needs to get out more

[@coniah568]

True but most of the Koreans in Australia repatriated back to Korea

[@christinecoombs3536]

I am a Caucasian , Australian , middle aged woman and tried to be part of a church in my Chinese dominated area. I was bullied excluded and it was quite a traumatic experience.

[@qihaowu3229]

That dude was right, if someone is blocking your way on a busy street or something there's a phrase for asking someone to scoot over in Cantonese that goes "条街你噶" which translates to "so you own this street? Or is this street yours?" But this is a pretty rude way to say it

[@darkydoom]

Australia is the most multicultural country, you have so many different cultures and immigrants, multi-generational from 50, 100+ years ago. Perth in the last census is THE most mixed. And the food is fire if you know where to go.

[@CeasefireNow2024]

First Chinese arrived in Australia in 1818 thats 206 years ago. Darwin a city in the north had Chinese gold mining camps in 1874 thats a 150 year Chinese history in Northern Australia. It got to the point that there were more Chinese population in Darwin than Whites and Aboriginals.

[@ailitakano5290]

Dad's Japanese, mum was raised in east Coast, divorced and moved me to rural WA in young childhood... Same same but different, now days food/ hospitality industry/farming are suffering a great deal here and so going out culture is expensive and minimal. Much more worth cooking your own meals using good local produce. As for school I think I was the only one Japanese, but there were other Asians without huge communities also. I Albany WA, Filipino culture grew as I was growing up, I had a friend who went to Catholic Church and had alot more Filipino community, and was much more along the stereotype of being academic and the way they handled relationships. My dad lives in the gold Coast running a dojo - he has community there Up north in Broome there are some Asian aboriginal mixes- ... aboriginals , the original landowners, were only allowed to vote since the 70s and given its only been 50yrs, that culture is still suffering today. It's a weird jumble trying to make a timeline of Australia's history...it's just a lot of of new cultures and community pockets joining the party.

[@ttpham]

In the last 20 years or so, Sydney has been getting more Indian immigrants. When I was younger in the 90s and the early 2000s, there weren't as many Indians at the time.

[@downundabrotha]

For those wondering. Australia shuts early to cater towards families and State and Federal Labour laws.

[@caitlindavis4384]

Here's my experience. I'm not Asian, but we had a pretty good diversity of different ethnicities in our community. I'm from Perth and from my experience, high school and primary school were different. In primary school, practically half our school population were Asian if not more. Through, I have to be honest, in early primary schooling, a Chinese girl moved to our primary school, and because it was new information to us that the pinky was the "rude finger" for the Chinese, a lot of us showed her our pinky, thinking it was a joke. Of course, none of us knew at the time that what we were doing was bullying until she left, then we all felt stupid (not everybody was doing it, but I was a part of it). The Asian population in my primary school mainly consisted of: a handful of Philippinos, a few Indians, and two from Bhutan (they were brothers), a guy from Thailand, another from Burma, some from Iraq or Iran, and some that looked Asian but I don't know where they said their family was from. In the high school I went to, there were definitely Asians, but not much compared to the white people in the school. There were a few Asian kids that, I don't know if they were joking or not, but every time somebody disagreed with them, they called that person racist "just because [they were] Asian", even if that other person that disagreed with them were also Asian. There were also a lot of people that forgot that India was an Asian country, a lot of the Indians were insulted, and rightfully so.

9:10 back in the 1800's, alot of chinese miners came over to Australia to mine the gold rush. They had their camps next to the local indigenous people, and shortly after that had families with some indigenous Australians. There are many indigenous families, where im from in Queensland, with chinese and/or Asian heritage.

[@richardknight8061]

Brisbane had the Vietnamese boat people arrive in the 70s and already had a China town in the city. NOW the suburb I grew up in and the next one over is 40% Viet/30%white/30%sudanese and islanders.
