What The Chinese Think Of White Foreigners | ASIAN BOSS

We hit the streets of Shanghai, China to find out how ordinary Chinese people feel about white foreigners in China. The opinions expressed in this video are those of individual interviewees alone and do not reflect the views of ASIAN BOSS or the general Chinese population.

it’s probably like
Asian = Wow, British students are smart

British students = Asians are the masters of maths

Edit: Thank you so much for all the likes, I truly hope you all have an awesome day!

I've commented this a thousand times but let me say it again, "Eastern Asians have thousands years of tradition in skin whitening. Saying them whitening skin for whites is like saying Egyptians wearing eyeliners because of Hollywood."

"They are usually better educated"

It kind of makes me sad to see them all say that white people have better facial features. I always thought Asian people were so lovely looking.

[zachela]

Poor and misdirecting translation. They did not say better features at the first few questions, they said liti, which means more dimensional and pronounced, which is factual because asian features are flatter. They did not say western features are better.

Please change your translator because I've been noticing bad translation for your videos esp the Chinese ones, and as an avid watcher of Asian Boss videos this is very disappointing, unless your aim is actually not to show authentic Chinese insights.

Wanting fair skin doesn't mean that they want to look like Western people. In fact, fair skin had always been a beauty standard, because in ancient times, having fairer skin means you aren't outside doing hard work under the sun (like farmers). So having fair skin made you look more "high class". This isnt the case anymore, but the concept of fair skin is so deeply rooted that people still consider it as an ideal.

as a dark skinned chinese, , , i love that girl embracing her skin tone NATURALLY, , , , its what the chinese heavens gave us we must embrace not refuse but i respect anyones desire in changing in promoting their self confidence

The lady in the purple dress answered the first question incredibly honestly and clearly, and always looking at the interviewer in the eye. And then she answered the second question just as self-assured and direct: "I don't think (bairen are more attractive) because I think I'm pretty the way I am". How many people would be able to answer such a question as candidly and gently as that, regardless of race or color? I love this lady to bits! Gives me hope for Chinese people.

I love the girl who said that she doesn't think white skin is prettier because she loves herself. She really is beautiful!!

[kishaunarcher]

The darker Chinese girl didn’t say “I think I’m pretty the way I am” she said “no, because i think I’m more beautiful” at 3:53

[tenchichrono]

Bruh, I'm Chinese and love my features. Love yourself.

My mother told me that when I was little, I came crying to her because I wanted "pretty eyes" like my Asian friend (I'm caucasian). It's so interesting how beauty standards differ from place to place!

GUYS!!!The translation and her questions made this misunderstanding even bigger. Chinese' pursuit of brighter whiter skin has nothing to do with race! It's a beauty standard comes from ancient time when we didn't even know the existence or white people. Not sure why ancient chinese like jade-like skin. But for modern chinese girls, we know we have flatter face. Being a little brighter makes complements the gentleness of our smaller nose and eyes, being fair makes us feels not that flat and gives us more confidance. Fair skin makes us feels ourselves more girly, I guess due to ancient culture somehow as well. It's definately NOT about race. If chinese girls have more dimensional face that looks good with any skintone, nobody would cares about being brighter or not. We are always saying how sexy and healthy the dark skin foreign people look.

The girl in the pink shirt is so sweet and positive! I love her confidence in herself and her optimism! Go girl

[dumbcat]

I'm white and I don't think I'm better looking than Asians. The woman are beautiful and the men tend to have strong jaw lines and chins.
