 the internet wants to know will interracial relationships outside of white people be accepted within the asian community who let's talk about it yeah this went viral on reddit guys i mean this one has a potential to be very controversial very spicy we're gonna do our best to give our quick thoughts analyze the comment section so make sure you like subscribe and turn on your notifications but andrew you know what else is spicy small ass sauce it is our very own finishing oil very delicious it's shipping out very soon so you guys check it out instagram.com slash at small ass sauce a lot of cool content from search one assistively guys you know andrew we don't shy away from these potentially sensitive topics right because if the internet asks it and a lot of people are up voting on it clearly a lot of people have been wondering whether they want to be the ones to vocalize it or not obviously this poster betty rizzo's whose mother is a afro latina from columbia her father is korean that's what makes maybe possibly her feel more comfortable asking this question right because she's basically wondering hey i'm blazian but when my parents got together it was a rare thing not obviously as rare as white and asian but uh is a like a blazian couple gonna be more accepted in the future amongst the asian community because it seems like and she's basically implying that the asian community as a whole more accepts the white and asian couples than the black and asian couples but she's saying not just on a micro familial level but also in media movies tv shows uh k-pop music videos uh if the love interest is in asian they're always white so this is like her as a half afro latina half korean asking this question of like how come i don't see myself be represented so yeah of course the internet comment section went everywhere and back and we gotta get get into it first of all i do want to point out and that a lot of people were pointing out that in recent years there have been a lot more asian guys actually paired with uh black women or you know what i mean in music videos whether it's scissor's music video young manzino all the way back to romeo must die with jet lee and aliyah even though that romance got like removed from it yeah what i've seen most recently is yes obviously i think there are in media a lot more asian male black woman pairings and then there's also uh in the sports world david there's quite a few half asian athletes now between the nfl mba and even hockey and tennis and tennis tennis and golf there's a lot of mixture of asian and black in that world right and oftentimes the mother is asian and the father's black but either way those are blazing kids and they're on the main stage and they're very famous you know so i think that this whole blazing coupling is actually gaining more and more like visibility in media even uh so i think that's a good thing right you're talking about like her to more indie artists like toro yi moi and then like you said all the athletes rory hachimura even sweeties half asian her is half asian like oh there's a lot of singers who are half asian anderson pack amary you know what i mean so i think that these things they are definitely increasing and i think that obviously uh you would look at white european dominant culture and that was gonna mix first in the most because even white people went more to asia you know i think of that amount of black people had went to asia or colonized asia or whatever you know business that they were doing or even traveled there for business i do think there would have been more black and asian couples even back then they i mean over the past 400 years you would say that european guys they were outside they would they were outside even even latin america obviously there's a heavy european mix in there and even amongst black americans right yes exactly so uh i guess the elephant of the room that i would address is i just generally think that i think if the black and asian person come from a similar culture or economic socioeconomic background they're more likely to get together like like if if if the asian girl or asian guy meets the black partner at ucla or berkeley i don't think that many asian families would make a fuss about it i honestly don't think so there's gonna be some old school thinking of course that is gonna be a little bit more racial but i don't think that if they come from a similar place that everybody that anybody's really tripping yeah i think that ultra traditional old school thinking that was like maybe portrayed in movies in the 80s and possibly the early 90s it is going away and i actually think amongst all second generation third generation immigrants that are born in america like them sharing the same industry and being into the same interests together and like having the same goals in life is almost going to transcend whatever uh culture their grandparents came from or their parents came from in 2023 or it's moving towards that slider wise i'm not saying it's fully there but probably every year it inches towards that at least right so i think that actually um to answer her question so one on a functional irl level yes i do think that mixed asian relationships with any race outside of white people will become become more normalized as are the relationships with white people already right it will be but will it we see that reflected in a hollywood tv sense and then we're gonna get into the mechanics of that because a lot of people are saying well i don't know if you're fully gonna see it because what if you still need to sell the show to a white audience wouldn't it make more sense to mix the asian with the white again i don't know well a lot of people were talking about basically do you think that white people will want to watch media where their look is not centered in the story um i mean i guess and or did any thoughts yes or no i mean i guess it is also humanistic not to fault them if it was a hundred percent not to fault them but it's like people want to watch pieces where they feel represented right but probably white people they're the most accustomed to seeing themselves be represented like when i'm on an airplane and people are watching the media on the back of the screens usually i see oftentimes this is just my observation my own so i have no stats it's usually a white person watching a tv show or movie full of almost all white people yeah yeah i mean i don't know i yeah of course i don't think the black and asian pairing is gonna be as commonly seen as the white and asian pairing i mean even if you just look at demographics wise uh there's gonna be technically less of it but i think that no i think more and more people are not gonna be afraid of it you know i mean there's just more like it's it's just gonna continue to increase in real life and in media but maybe not skyrocket right and i'm not gonna lie man i really think people do like to watch things where like they're involved in it i know a lot of nerdy asian guys andrew they watch a lot of what's it called starcraft or warcraft like pro gaming from asia i've seen that or league of legends a lot of my black friends they enjoy watching a lot of uh nba nfl i know a lot of white people they enjoy watching mlb and nhl i mean people watch the things that like their culture is more i guess heavily involved in that industry right um somebody said you know i'm half white and half asian and i hundred percent agree i never realized how much privilege i have over my friends that are half asian and half latino or half asian and half black basically a biracial asian that is not half white half asian uh how true do you think that is that like when you're just thinking of a mixed asian immediately you're thinking of hoppa half white yeah i mean i do think that's what most people immediately think of it's true yeah um some people were saying uh no there's a bunch of examples sandra o and isaiah washington in uh gray's anatomy and then uh mingna wenz character with um i forgot his kai makai fai yeah makai fai for an er so actually they're actually what is funny because andrew when people were bringing up the pop cultural receipts because i'm not like i don't know as much pop culture as pop cultural people mavens on reddit i was like there is a lot of examples yeah there is quite a few but uh some people were saying in k-pop videos even if the love interest is asian they're always white one time a k-pop group flew flew to the philippines to film a video and the love interest was still white or like white passing you know it could have been a white philippino i mean a white passing philippino i guess yeah i mean how much of it is it that just like i sometimes i do feel like especially like east asians andrew they're very like hierarchical in the sense and if and it's not like it's take the right and wrong out of it but i would say like western european people like anglos or scandals they've been at the top of the hierarchy for so long like dude and i'm just like i'm not saying that i'm saying that i'm just going off a macro read of the global society yeah yeah yeah i don't want to make excuses but i will say that even asian parents old school thinking asian parents can kind of be racist towards other asians right and i don't think it's racism in the worst way they might say something um but i do know in america i believe that more and more asians are marrying different types of asians like they're not just marrying their own specific ethnicity possibly even south asians mixing with southeast asians or south asians mixing with east asians yes there's even more of that so i think the whole world is mixing a little bit more especially in america um obviously i wouldn't rely on k listen when it comes to k dramas and k-pop if it's made in korea it's very unlikely like i wouldn't bet on those shows to lead the interracial imagery you know what i mean like that's gonna be in asia and it's always gonna be more from an asian perspective from asia but i think what you have to look at is the american-made pieces here and i think that it is increasing and asian guys are getting more visibility asian women are still also getting more visibility you know in their coupling too and just like you know it's uh so i think it's just gonna increase yeah i really think it just depends on like what culture you want to live in too you know and it's like for example like i know suede's mom was working in entertainment i believe suede's dad is a black entertainment executive you know what i mean but like very much in the entertainment world you know what i mean like it just really depends on what like industries and sectors you want to live in it feels like there's so many like well developed like i don't want to say fragmentation but there's so many like different fish balls within american society nowadays some people also said uh shout out to apple the app uh tiger tiger woods keruchi uh kimora lee simons cameron bynum from the nfl and then you've got asian latino such as enrique englesias bruno mars and harry shum jr so harry shum jr i believe is full cantonese but he's from coastorica he's just born in coastory yeah bruno mars is half filipino and half porto rica born in hawaii and enrique englesias is i believe half from spain and half his mom is filipino but she was a spanish filipino yeah or i mean you can talk about brandon lee who is half his dad's korean his mom is hispanic he's a boxer you know so i think like again it's just i don't know i guess my answer is to this person wondering will they be more accepted uh yes i think so in time in in in years to come yeah just getting more and more for sure for sure but as it should be i you know i can understand the question especially as somebody who's she's a k-pop fan she's probably a fan of asian american media as well and she's not seeing necessarily the pairing that represents her parents as reflected but you have to understand one thing i say this uh change is for sure like change always happens surely but it's almost also for sure happening very slow right but it's slow and steady and i would say that that's uh the bright side of it and i do see it changing for more uh diversity and more inclusion of everybody and everybody just getting along with each other better especially obviously if they have shared ideals and shared interests and things like that so let us know what you guys think of her question in the comment section below will interracial dating in media but also on a micro level be more accepted outside of white in the asian american community let us know what you think in the comment section below please keep it civil we encourage debate like we said it was a difficult discussion but you know we're willing to have it until next time we to hop out boys be out
