Big thanks to Millie for sharing her story. This would be the final episode of the series and I hope you find it interesting in some way if you're also mixed race.

I wonder how many people pointed and stared simply because she was beautiful.

[dascyne]

I'm Chinese. My wife is light-skinned Gujarati. Our two little daughters are absolutely pretty and have great hair, big eyes and wonderful smiles. They turn heads everywhere. We didn't raise them thinking they were "half-Chinese" or "half-Indian" but that they were Chinese and Indian both. We didn't want them to grow up thinking they were a lesser form any race. Instead they are doubly blessed to have multiple cultures.

[Talex-vuiu]

And you're beautiful and emotionally grounded

[shimizukebin]

It's the cute girl again, YEAH!!!

[danielvonliechtenstein]

As a mixed man, I've learned to embrace everything about me.
Born in Switzerland with a German father, and an Angolan mother; grew up in Portugal, lived around the world, now living in Luxembourg with my wife who is half Dutch (father), and half Japanese (mother), and with whom I have 5 children.
Life is beautiful. 🍾

this video was so sweet and heartwarming

Huge identity crisis. Korean/white grew up in Sagamihara Japan. I remember I hated being Korean when I was younger. Then the full on Korean discovery mode in my teens. As an adult I don’t really think so much about it just appreciate my culture and experiences. This video hits pretty close, is it like this for the majority of multiracial people?

I learned a long time ago, that what makes you who you are is not skin deep.
Why are so many people so hung up on race?
Sure there are many different races of human. Asian, Arab, Caucasian, African, Tribal America's, Islanders and so forth.
Each defined by thousands of years of singular breeding to create seperate genetic lines.
But is that all we are?
I say no. When looking at the individual, do we see race, or personality?
Sure we have lineage, but that does not defind us independently.
You can come from a bad background and come out a good person, and vice versa.
But today we are so caught up in identity that we are forgetting the personality.

Super cute when Millie explained how friendly Japan was, when she visited, she fit in so evenly that she felt at home & looked the same so everyone assumed she's Japanese. And she liked that feeling in Japan... Wonderful!

When Asians say you look white, and whites say you look Asian, they are both right. You have to see it through their eyes. In the UK, the predominant race is "European", but in Taiwan, the dominant race is "Asian". If everyone around you looks Asian, then they see a halfie, you're going to look very white to them. If everyone around you looks white European, then they see a halfie, you're going to look very Asian to them.

Hi Nobita and thank you for this topic and your wonderful interviewing style where you let Millie talk fully about her experiences. Also, for Millie she is at great advantage knowing two cultures, two languages, two countries....in any metric she is blessed by her background and this will become more obvious as time goes on. Thanks to you both for this video.

[cernejr]

Why last? I loved every single video in this series. Please reconsider.

[tonygriego]

Great content as always Nobita. Also, she's very attractive.

[bajalately]

I’m not 1/2 & 1/2, but as an American living in Mexico since I was a toddler, naturalized now, I can definitely relate to your interviewee in so many ways. Happy and Proud to be 🇲🇽🇺🇸 though! Much love, Nobita!

Im irish, Hispanic, asian, and native American and i couldnt care less everyone thinks im white

[AhidoMikaro]

It is certainly probably easier when you are a pretty girl.

I am of Korean/Italian descent and both my beautiful parents are still married. My parents lovingly instilled culture in my upbringing, so growing up learning 3 languages was somewhat of a norm. The times where I felt an identity crisis growing up in Seoul, South Korea and the US, was when I was around other children who saw me different. Sometimes these kids would be indifferent, and sometimes they would be flat out cruel to where a physical altercation would ensue. Regardless of how others treated me, I always stood my ground, defended myself, and proudly spoke of my multi-cultural heritage.

I think it depends on every mixed race person's experiences and where they live and how they are raised. In many places in the US, it is really normal to see mixed race people, and sometimes many places outside of the US. As multiracial, I have never had identity crisis. Can't say the same for people elsewhere though, since everyone's experiences differ.

[jenesoleil]

If I saw Millie, without knowing where she’s from, I would guess she’s a Latina. Living in Los Angeles, we assume that everyone is from here until we learn otherwise. And being mixed race is very normal.

That was a wonderful experience to share thank you!!! I’m Half Asian/Caucasian American. Your return and craving to learn more about your mom’s culture and reestablishing your identity is inspiring to me. Thank you!
