  • Maybe it doesn't affect the parents love of the child, but it can affect the child. The kid looks asian. America is going to see a chinese person, China is going to see a foreigner. The kid will wonder, where do they fit?

  • I love how defensive white parents are getting even if the guy isn't saying anything about it being bad to adopt Chinese girls. Stop being so offended and LISTEN.

  • it doesnt matter whats on the inside, people only see the outside, its a fact, we must all accept it

  • We feel pretty segregated greatly... we don't pass the test.

  • is it just me more does he sound like seth rogan

  • Do people only feel secure not to be themselves but have to be part of this "white race" or "chinese race"? I thought in America they cherish the value of "individualism", but no, this collectivist group mentality still persisted in American's way of thinking, not very far from the underdeveloped, backward China.

    Let just recognize the reality; racism is real and liberty is not. America should institutionalize racism and abolish liberalism, so we continue enjoy our fetish for white skin.

  • It is very true about the Chinese chinese vs american chinese. I was born in China and came to the USA with my family when I was 7 but even though I grew up in China and have a Chinese family, now that I am in college I don't fit in at all with any of the Chinese International students.

  • Well some people don't hav the choice to get back their roots. Especially if you were abandoned like me. Since most parents who adopt have a lot of money and are white you are usually raised in a community like that and you feel really different. No one really understands until you've been through it yourself. 

  • its very interesting to see that many 100%chinese-Americans look physically different from original chinese .its becasue of the lanuage ?i dont know>

  • @ykltc I don't think you have any idea what it's like and you're probably a lao wai who hopes to one day become fluent in Chinese. Sorry, but Frank's right. He's not self conscious, he's speaking the truth. Unless you are a Chinese American, you really aren't qualified to be making judgments on it. and you'll never know how it feels.

  • This man has a very nice speaking voice.

  • @anythingnew Good luck. Without the Africans migrating, your people and culture wouldn't exist.
