@shoakman The half Iranian spent basically her whole life in Japan but the half Colombian woman speaks at native-level Japanese? She spent age 3-18 in Colombia so I'm shocked her Japanese is that good.

Italian woman says she's not an native English speaker yet she speaks perfect with 95% American accent and just a touch of accent of 'other' (wouldn't have guessed Italian). She must be really good at picking up languages and accents.

This basically confirms what I had already heard — the US bases are mostly supported but a loud minority of mostly older people are very against it. Most understand the security it brings and the money it brings Though one thing not discussed in the video is that most of these soldiers are 18-22yrs and often get drunk and cause problems. Anywhere where large number of 18-22yr old men are is going to have some issues that come with such a demo.

Que Cooo Also, what's wrong with you? You basically say no one can criticize any other country, then you make a terrible argument that the US has a phenomenal healthcare system when they often rank somewhere around 30-40 in the world?

@avocado8952 what does best global talent have to do with this argument? If it’s too expensive for many, and many aren’t insured, and people go bankrupt, how is it the best health care system? You are smart enough to realize the difference between having the best doctors vs having the best healthcare system, right?

@Zoedreammovies the US is probably half way between Japan and Netherlands / Germany. Japan is extremely timid in how they respond while Dutch / Germans are straight to the point. Americans usually tell you the truth but in a very nice way. Using what I’m sure is not 100% accurate but Illustrates my point, imagine the question “does this clothes make me look fat?” And the actual answer is yes. Dutch / Germans: yes it does Japanese: you look good Americans: there might be something better to wear. (Or “no, but it’s not a good style for you”)

Wow, half Latino/a and half Japanese is really good looking! They all still look mostly latino because lots of Latinos have indigenous ancestry which are basically Asians form 20,000 years ago so many Latinos could Already be confused with being palatially Asian.

Places with few immigrants in their region tend to have children that bully foreigners. Europe use to be like that in certain areas up until the past 20 or so years but now they have large number of non European immigrants. The US is a country of immigrants but an Asian kid in rural white or black (the south has large rural black population) area is likely to be bullied for looking different. Ultimately it’s up to the parents to keep their kids in check on bullying others, especially based on race and ethnicity.

Language barrier is a big problem but I also think people saying “cultural differences” are indeed close minded people.

@LostAngelNest what’s Japanese? The “Japanese” came from mainland China less than 2000 years ago and replaced the indigenous true Japanese. There are still a few true Japanese such as Ainu people.

Something like 20%+ of the people in Oahu are Japanese or of Japanese descent. Its such a great place for Asians to fit right in because 10% are Chines and another 10% are form other Asian countries.

@ocsjc13 you’re right, it’s not like Mexicans born and raised In Mexico go to Los Angeles and make the same tacos they did in Mexico, right? Right?

@ChaposShoota northern Mexico is mostly steak. My family is from central / northern Mexico and it’s equal beef and pork. It’s also 80% corn tortillas and 20% flour. If I went to the border states, I heard it’s even more flour tortillas used there. But in Los Angeles, you find lots of Al pastor. It’s one of the most popular tacos. I’ve traveled all over Mexico and the popular tacos in Mexico are also made in the US in areas with large Mexican population. Same tastes. The differences is mostly all the other meat choices that aren’t made much in the US or at all. In the US they tend to have maybe up to 7 meat options that are commonly found. In Mexico they use every cut of meat so a cheek, head (cabeza, and many others you will rarely find the US.
2
@ChaposShoota let me guess, you’re from south of Zacatecas?
2
@barrettokarate Mexico imports most of its meat. The gmo claim you made makes no sense. And there are Mexican tacos in LA. Taste the same as Mexico they just don’t serve the dozen other cuts that are for poorest people historically like eye balls, cheeks, head, etc. the top 10% tacos I’m Mexico are better but the top 30% tacos in LA are equal to or Better than the average taco in Mexico

Que Cooo western privileges? The United States has terrible healthcare policies and yet even they have a rule that a hospital cannot turn down an emergency.
2
Que Cooo The US has a phenomenal health care system if you do not care about having it available and affordable to all nor if you care about how easy it is to use. Go be annoying with your alt right friends.

You can have a lot of great content from a new scenery like California. You can ask Asian immigrants (or any immigrants) many of these type of questions and how they feel about the US as an immigrant and what they miss about home. With so many immigrants in California and people being more open, I think you can have good material for a while

@karinneeskens She sounds like a lot of Hispanic Americans so I still would have thought she was American but raised in a house with foreign born parents. My parents are from Mexico but I'm born and raised in the US and have a 'mexican-american' accent.

Someone compared it to Hawaii and that’s what it reminds me of. They both have a decent size city, nice beaches, nice nature, and lots of Japanese people! Lol, I think Honolulu is 20% Japanese.

@masterbowler1630 5k years is only the last wave that are in arctic. That’s why many of those groups still look very Asian. Those that went to what is now Latin America are from some wave 20k+ years ago

8:38 he mentioned mixed Race tend to struggle with identity. So do people who are immigrants and aren’t fully white. Lots of people who are Born to Mexican parents also have that identity issue. Are we American American or are we Mexican? Or both? How much of each are we?

@lightup6751 you said “real tacos are from Mexico”. That suggest you either think the Mexicans born and raised in Mexico opening taquerias In Los Angeles are not real Mexicans or could not make the same tacos. They are Mexicans and they often do make the same tacos Cali Tacos are not a thing. It’s Mexican tacos. Or if you want to claim no food can be made like in the home country, than it’s street tacos. But oh guess there’s no Neapolitan pizza anywhere but Naples? American tacos are Taco Bell style

@ocsjc13 My parents are from mexico and i went every summer to mexico. I also go as an adult, i've been 5 times in the past 3 years and going again this summer. So you think all those Mexicans coming to the US as adults and starting taquerias don't know how to make tacos? You think as soon as they cross from Nuevo Laredo to Laredo they can no longer make the same tacos?
1
@ocsjc13 "Mexicans born and raised in the US? Lol those are called Americans". Oh yeah, the moment they arrive as adults they forget how to be mexican dummy.
1
@ChaposShoota You're right, the moment adults from Mexico come to the US they forget how to make tacos. They just somehow forget. "The meat taste complete different and there is no debate to that". If it's beef, it's the exact same beef. Mexico imports $42b a year in agricultural goods, $32b from the US mostly grains, oilseeds, meat, or related products. Mexico does not produce enough grains and oilseeds to meet internal demand, so the country’s food and livestock producers import sizable volumes of these commodities to make value-added products such as meat, vegetable oil, and wheat products

@ChaposShoota " if u think tacos in Mexico taste the same as any taco in US" If you think there aren't tacos in the US that the same, then you don't like facts. I'm not saying all tacos in the US (more specifically southwest) taste the same as mexico but you can find many that do.
1
@lightup6751 "Mexicans obviously know to make Mexican tacos". Yes, and they don't forget the moment they cross into the US. "But more often that not the flavor changes because the food is being adapted to the local palate. " Sometimes yes, sometimes no. There are mexican restaurants who don't adapt to the local palate just like there are those that do. Historically, adapting to local palates was cheap versions so think Taco bell style tacos though now you are seeing 'upgraded' or modern versions. Better ingredients like higher end cuts of meats. "Tacos in LA typically do use different recipes, ingredients and taste not quiet the same. Of course, even inside Mexico the flavors can totally differ." I am Mexican American. I'm also a bit old compared to the typical person leaving comments on youtube (which are usually teens or 20 something year olds). I don't live in LA but I've been there a dozen times (work plus have some family in the area). I've grew up going to Mexico to visit family every summer and then didn't go to Mexico (not counting cancun strip lol) after high school until I was around 30. I've been to different parts of Mexico the past 6 or so years from local spots in riveria maya (not the tourist area) to San Luis Potosi to Guanajuato to San Miguel de Allende to Queretaro. The tacos are often a little different everywhere but are still generally the same and you can find similar tastes and ingredients in the US with some Mexican tacos. But that's not to say all so called authentic tacos in the US are the same as Mexico but there are certainly many of them in Mexican neighborhoods, including LA. The biggest difference is just that in the US, most authentic tacos stick to roughly the same 6-8 meat fillings. In Mexico, while most taco places have 3-6 meat fillings at their location, they often vary from restaurant to restaurant (or cart to cart). That's where Mexico easily outshines the US -- you can walk around and find many different fillings. If it's an actual store (taqueria), they might have 20+ fillings as options with half of them rarely found in the US if at all. But overall, if it's the same fillings, there isn't much difference between between a typical taco in mexico and a typical one in the US from a true authentic Mexican restaurant. My ex is from China. She sees some of the same with Chinese food. There are of course lots of Chinese American restaurants. She dislikes people calling them Chinese but she things some are good like PF Chang or for being fast food, she thinks Panda Express is good value. She mostly dislikes the hole in wall old Cantonese restaurants. Those have been made cheap and Americanized heavily. But we would go to restaurants she picked that she found to be very authentic. Those restaurants would sometimes have two menus -- traditional/authentic and American Chinese. One thing Chinese restaurants in the US do better than Mexican restaurants is that authentic Chinese restaurants offer far more options that are typical in China which is why their menus can be huge. Mexican restaurants, as I said, even when authentic tend to just limit what is served so you will miss out on some foods from Mexico.
1
@lightup6751 " But it is a bit surprising that you never seem to have heard that traditional dishes change in a new country. The way you act it seems you think that food never changed " this almost feels like you completely ignored everything I had said before or just didn't read the other 5 or 6 comments I made to others. I said you COULD find tacos in the US that are authentic and same as Mexico but also that there restaurants that serve less authentic tacos.

@foxhound_ps9149 Heck, even if get hurt in the US and have health insurance, depending on the medical care needed and your coverage, you can spend a lot of money and go bankrupt. My plan has a cap (maybe $6k a year?) but there are probably things it doesn't cover that could make go over the $6k cap.

@katharynemartins565 yes, the joke is that Hawái and especially Oahu have a lot of Japanese. Just looked it up, Hawaii in 1920’s was 42% Japanese. Today it’s 14%. Honolulu is 20%.
