East Coast Asians VS. West Coast Asians

Ever wonder if Asians living in the east coast are different than the ones on the west coast U.S.?

It would be interesting to do European Asians vs. American Asians, or even among the different European Asians (I'm a Spanish-born Chinese and there are so many differences with a German-born Chinese, for example).

Nice video! Lots of fun.

You guys should make a video of Asian-Americans VS Asian-Europeans! (Specifically Dutch-Asians haha ;) )

Eat= Yeeeat
East = Yeeeast  xD

I like how these are mostly made by Asians, for Asians type videos. Most Asian culture Youtubers are weeaboos or are into the whole yellow fever degrading bs, so it's a breath of fresh air. A little off topic but for any future videos, it'd be cool to see a video on Chinese manners and general customs. And maybe revisiting Chinese beauty standards (in both China and the US) and its effects for both male and females (and perhaps addressing colorism in Asian culture). Lastly, some places you guys recommend visiting for people who aren't fluent in Chinese but still want to travel around and have fun. Great video anyway!

Thumbs up if you live on the east coast!

This is a very interesting video. I actually have been to New York City and Los Angeles and I felt there was much more diversity in New York. I went to KoreaTown in LA and I felt so judged and I went to China town in New York and felt like the community there was overall very diverse and didn't look at me oddly. Btw I'm Mexican so I'm not Asian. This was a great video and overall enjoyed my experience in the east coast more.

The West Coast is more than just California- we have the PNW! You guys need to check out Seattle!

Vancouver loves you, Mike!! It is awesome that you and dan embrace your east and west cultures with a warm and funny attitude!

This is a good discussion. I was born in the Philippines but grew up in the DMV (D.C., Maryland, and Virginia) area. I have family on both coasts and have been to both coasts. Both Coasts have their own distinct cultures, depending on factors like the weather, socio-economic status and political climates. I am not a fan of stereotyping or pigeon-holing anyone, because I hate it when people do that to me. But discussions like these, hopefully get other productive discussions going.

As someone from Southern Cal., the Mexican influence is apparent even in this lady from L.A.. I see it in Gwen Stefani and Fergi, etc. but the Mexican influence is a dead giveaway that you're from Southern Cal. You have Asians in Mexican makeup & speech and Hispanics with Asian cuisine and a general admiration for Asian values. The best of both worlds are mixing without realizing it.

I'm 16 and Irish and I have no idea why I find all these videos so interesting😂

I like this video. I grew up in Asia(Hong Kong). I have friends from both west coast and east coast and I see everything you guys are saying. Lol Especially that "3rd type of Chinese" Dan mentioned about east coast, tht is so true!! Some of my east coast friends they talk about NYC, say they themselves are very American, this and that, but seriously, things they do are way more traditional than everything I do in Asia!

This group was pretty good YouTube chemistry. Liked the fun edits, too.

Vancouver is the best. I love it here and would not move to anywhere else. Nice polite people, amazing food, many outdoor activities you can do in BC, nice weather (not too hot in the summer and not cold in the winter).

California really isn't that great... I was brought up there and visit regularly and while it's super diverse, the public schools are really bad, there's a drought, and not to mention it's expensive af. Those are just some of the reasons of why my family moved. You guys need to visit Seattle because lots of Asians. Like one of the girls said, we west coast Asians aren't limited to our ethnicity and we hang out in a group of various Asians haha

I think West Coast embraces Americanization but in the East Coast, especially NY, we take pride in being a "melting pot, " we embrace and are prideful of your own individual culture and ethnicity. We do not embrace conformity but instead individualism, people often mistakes this as "living in the bubble" as guys mentioned. I simply love NY and the food is awesome here. Where else is a city full of Indian, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Ukrainian, and Chinese cuisines in one neighborhood?! Only in NY, and in the East Village.
