It took a pandemic for these Asian Americans to realize they're not seen as real Americans no matter how hard they tried to fit in by ditching their asian culture (i.e., not knowing how to use chopsticks or speaking their moms language). I have seen it all myself as an Asian American (born and raised in the US).
Which apps she used to learn the language???I needed this to learn Chinese. I need to do my HSK3 in 2 months. I need help
I’m pretty sure she’s smart enough to read a map or buy a one way ticket to repatriate herself.
Everybody has a fabulous. Our shots and boosters baby say I love you and we always a talking about God
I grew up in Chinatown in Seattle Washington Asian ladies running why don't you have any Mase and one lady said she did I said but you both should have it I said you got to take care of yourself glasses you can buy on Amazon that you can see what's behind you and looking straight ahead of you all of us have to look after each other and we got to protect ourselves and try to help one another we're all human beings trying to live on this planet
That's her parents' fault for failing to teach her …same happens in my latino (we're latinos, NOT latinx) community with Spanish
This is the unfortunate cost of American assimilation, losing your cultural heritage, which oftentimes includes your native language.
Great story!! Very heartfelt❤️❤️❤️
Slow news day?
She's playing in the msm's wish to divide America. I have no desire to learn French though my ancestors are from France
I'm a 46 year old black man I have a question for anyone who wants to answer it,,,,Why a ASIAN AMERICAN'S well ASIAN'S in general are being targeted???? ATTACKED???? for what reason & why???If some can help me??
If she's American English is her language no? If Russian Americans made a point of relearning Russian right now we wouldn't trust them.
maybe America should change their name to americasia because there are more immigrants than natives😂😂
More power! Never forget your heritage no matter where you're from!
Russia was causing propagandized racial tensions to divide our countries and our wonderful blending of cultures in the US. China would not support this war if they knew Russia Leader had lied and manipulated them to make them look bad. Thats why they waited until they had Chinas approval or lack of disapproval, Same thing. in my opinion
Putin gives dictators a Bad Name.
Looks like the hmong people in these generation kids… they are hmong but can't speak a single word in hmong. So ashamed and pathetic
Intellectweb has done it again well too be trusted I never regretted dealing with you guys they helped my life
Stop using "Latinxes"
This is the USA, just speak English
Even with war added to Brandon’s long list of failures, his voters still justify and support his spineless incompetence.
Shout out to George Floyd on 648 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!
The whole truth about the coronavirus. Watch the video you will be shocked EVERYDAYS.CF 2021 was an action-packed year I got a feeling 2022 is going to get even crazier /-16
