Perpetual Foreigner

A light-hearted look at stereotypes. Even in a diverse city such as San Francisco, Asians are seen as "perptual foreigners" simply by virtue of their physical traits despite their long history in the U.S.

I applaud you on this! There is an irony I see in some people who claim to be unbiased, non racist and never stereo type anyone and yet they go on witch hunts looking for people who are, and by doing so they stereo type what constitutes prejudice, with hit and miss results. Did that make any sense?

But yeah - this video had an artistic quality about it, speaking volumes without be stark or in one's face with the message. Kudos!

Thanks for your comment. I think having a sense of humor helps to keep things in perspective. Otherwise you become just as rigid and shortsighted as those you are criticizing.

I'm a white guy living in South Korea. Lived in Asia for seven years, speak Korean very well. Been physically assaulted twice in the past year and today, some crazy woman on the subway, for no reason, starting screaming at me in front of the whole car about how me text messaging a Korean girl made me a pervert (변태) and a sex fiend. People who think discrimination is strictly whites against Asians are wrong. However, you seldom hear the other side of the story since immigration is mostly one-way.

You make a good point. People living in homogenized societies tend to be suspicious of outsiders and very exclusive. Koreans, just like any other groups, can be very racist in their own homeland.

People sometimes treated me like a foreigner when I was a kid. Up to the time I was about 12, I had a speech impediment where I pronounced my R's as W's. I'm Half filipino and when I said that people would think I have a filipino accent. Filipino accents dont sound like that though, they don't say their R's as W's. It was hard for me. Now that I corrected my speech impediment, people still sometimes assume I am foreign but not as much. They now treat me more as an American, which I always was.
