---The interviewer is so damn beautiful and hearing the Chinese woman with a deep southern accent always shocks me
----Ebony W. When i see blacks speak perfect white English on news thats pretty much how i can relate to what you say. The difference is these Chinese American are genuine while these black news reporter and anchor is on act for the job
---How are they suppose to talk/speak? every Black person don't have the same type of accent
---Close your eyes and you would assume either Black or White Southern Belle was talking. That's life
----I was blown away by that also....but it's actually pretty cool
---Blacks open their mouth and it's usually shameful and disrespectful. They fall back to excuses like ignorance and the race card. True, whites are racist, but my experience is that blacks aren't any better.
---- LOL. I met a few Asians from Texas who had the deepest Texan accents and they all wore big buckles, cowboy boots, and 10 gallon hats too. Goes to show you that deep down inside, we are all the same human beings.
----They speak like true red necks
----It shocked me too! In the back of my head I always thought you were born with your accent, but then you think about, accents are learned from the community your grew up in.
----I'm officially shook by her accent. It's like being in twilight zone.
----Hey y'all need to save some money and take a trip around the U.S.A. and visit small city/town U.S.A. by bus or train, just stay in them 1 to two days and then on to the next place take about a 1 to 1&1/2 months, plan it out have fun
----Well, getover it. How about a black with a British accent? It's expected that people have the accents of where they live, you know. Americans are so ignorant of the rest of the world it makes my skin crawl.
----Don't let the small minded people get you down, Ebony. I agree completely that some people are looking so much for offense that they'll jump on any comment that doesn't completely match their expectation of what you should say or how you should say it. I know exactly what you mean, as I work with many Chinese people and have lots of contact with Japanese, so hearing some accent from an Asian person feels normal for me. But only part of it is seeing an ethnicity and expecting an accent, because certain accents are closely associated with specific ethnicities, too. For example, if I heard someone talking with a deep Italian New York accent and then saw it was a black man it would surprise me. Expectation does not always equal discrimination, and something can be racial without it being racist.
---Lol America is such a mixed country, loads of people have the wrong accent! I saw a black dude, who spoke like a Hispanic but was apparently Pakistani! Of course, nothing wrong with it, but that shocked me.
----Ebony W. it's weird they picked up the white southern accent instead of the black southern accent.
----Well the so-called black accent is just another white accent, who do you think they learned that from?
----I was lol, when I first saw a white person blurt out Chinese more authentic than some Chinese immigrant out there, I had the same feeling hearing southern accent from that Chinese American lady in the video
----That lady with that southern accent! if i closed my eyes, i would definitely thought she was a white woman! There are things which change our judgement just because of a person's appearance
----Well thank God you can at least close your eyes. God forbid you see she's Chinese
---- If you ever get a chance and go to memphis or greenville, you can meet Chinese, Persians, Italians, Jews, Irish, and Lebanese people that speak in the drawl
----Accents are cultural and not colorful. She has a true MS accent.
----Right she sounds like Paula deen
----Paula Dean is from Georgia, not Mississippi.
----I don't personally think Memphis though. I'm from there and haven't met a Chinese person with a southern drawl. Plus Memphis is an urban city and city "slickers" don't usually speak in a southern drawl unless they moved from the country.
----I grew up on south main street, know plenty that do. Tons of people whove lived in Midtown or east memphis all their life sound that way but yeah theres definitely people who lived there all their life and have little to no accent either
----That's super weird to hear her accent, and see them outdoor enjoy the sun.
----damn you need to make more friends - you're ignorant
-- wholly cow yes even i couldnt believe when she said "Chaneaise" like a cowboy flamboyance
----Accents can be tied to race though. There is African-American Vernacular English, and they tend to pronounce things differently from white people. These things are studied by linguists, so dont just take my word for it. There's plenty of research. The women in the video have much more of a "white" Southern accent as opposed to a "black" Southern accent.
----'m Chinese but I was born and raised in Georgia, and her accent fascinated me too cuz I've never met any Chinese person with such a southern accent with no hints of Chinese accent in it.
----chinese redneck!
---Not all ppl of colour are immigrants- chinese and arabs were among the first immigrants when america was still british colony!
----It is a weird feeling that I really like the southern accent spoken by these Asian people.
----they still kinda have that Chinese precise tone, but the twang is dope
--- jews with a drawl?? Really? I've met southern jews and they sound rural but not southern
===============================================================
---The Chinese have never gotten their fair share of credit for building this country. Our railroads would never have been built without them which means we sure as hell wouldnt be where we are today.
---Irish and Italian immigrants actually built most of the railroads.
---nope!! chinese built 90% of transcontinental railroad
---Someone else would have built the railroads, someone else would have picked the cotton, relax and get off your high horse.... Our actual disposable workforace was the poor irish and italian by the way, not what Al Jazeera tells you, like right now how the "Chinese were brought to pick the cotton the slaves did for free" Maybe the idea was to pick up some of the slack but the amount that actually migrated is miniscule, made no difference lol. The ones coming by the boatload where the poor southern/east/irish europeans.
----oh so when Chinese ask for recognition, we need to get off our high horse, but what black history month and affirmative action make you? Get off your throne
----The Chinese made significant contributions to the railroads. They were considered hard working and sober compared the Irish. But often Chinese were left out of photos at completion time.
They also cleared alot of land for use as farmland during expansion to the west. In Canada they actually seemed to found small towns / outposts----Chinese built many western stretches of the railroads, the Sierra Nevada, the mountainous regions. They lower themselves in baskets to set dynamites into holes in order to blast the mountains to clear ways for the tracts
---It was some Chinese and some Irish and some poor Southern and Eastern Europeans. There was plenty of work for all sorts of marginalized people, the descents of many of whom are lectured for their "white privilege" today. The "white devil" narrative doesn't fit here. The American dream and melting pot fit much better. The fact that the children of these Chinese Immigrants went on to respectable to middle class careers thanks to their parents hard work and have Southern Accents shows how integration and moving up was possible.
----And blacks destroyed everything we built
---- so true!! while they were building the railroad they were massacred by irish whites in riots cause chinese out competed those hateful racist whites. hundreds of chinese were massacred none of those irish devils were convicted of the crime. america is built on racism!!!
---- Wow, I thought the Vietnamese were the only Asian group in Mississippi, but this video opened up my mind
----word got out on the streets that Mississippi was short on nail techs but when Vietnamese got there they found out rednecks like to chew off their nails instead so they resorted to fishing
----Awesome video. really happy asian americans are getting more positive exposure for their roles in american society. we need to stop being viewed as perpetual foreigners since so many of us have done so much for america
----I look at this video and I think it's awesome to see how different people contributed to America. As a black person, I'm proud of the contributions that African Americans have made, but I realized that contributing to America is a team effort. Some of you have tried to generalize certain groups of people not realising that every tree has its bad apples. Some have gotten upset because they feel that the video is implying that black people didn't work hard or had successful businesses. However, the video is not implying that at all because the title speaks for itself. Look at it as a saga of American history. There is the African American Saga, The Asian American Saga, The Latino American Saga, The Native American Saga, and so many more sagas of American history.
---Their southern accents are awesome. I'm Asian and was raised in Texas. When I joined the military people would ask "are you from Texas?" I would say yes why? It was because of my Texas drawl. Lol.
----Oh Lordy! I luv it. "Are you Ornamental?" Response: "Well, sometimes!" Classic. These people -- these trailblazing Chinese Americans who weathered all this b.s., suffered, persevered and came out ahead -- are phenomenal and heroic in their own way. Real salt-of-the-earth warriors and role models for us all, especially the current generation of Asian Americans..
