Dialogue: 0,0:08:17.22,0:08:21.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, you bring that into the 20th century,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:21.50,0:08:27.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a lot of Black people may equate lighter skin with more privilege,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:27.20,0:08:33.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that's why they don't see that you would have a problem that we would have.

Dialogue: 0,0:10:03.43,0:10:06.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that Asians are perceived as privileged,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:06.85,0:10:12.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that educationally we've achieved, economically we've achieved, we're almost like white people dammit,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:13.09,0:10:16.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and therefore we're hated just, I mean...
Dialogue: 0,0:10:17.26,0:10:23.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Loren] What you can do, and maybe I'm putting too much pressure on you but,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:23.28,0:10:28.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think what you can do is make people understand how you achieve what you achieve,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:28.79,0:10:32.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,show em how you worked hard for it, that you weren't given anything.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:32.89,0:10:37.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Again, I want to dispel the myth that all Asians have made it economically,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:37.43,0:10:41.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because, that's not the truth,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:41.14,0:10:44.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but the ones that do are very visible.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:44.14,0:10:49.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Victor] I was just thinking "the model minority", y'know, and that it's... what a set up.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:49.44,0:10:54.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Y'know, it's like "why can't you people be more like those people?
Dialogue: 0,0:10:54.85,0:10:58.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then you wouldn't have the problems that you have"
Dialogue: 0,0:10:58.32,0:11:03.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[David L] I think we are comparing each other based on white people.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:03.22,0:11:09.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We are not white enough and therefore we chastise or criticize each other
Dialogue: 0,0:11:09.82,0:11:11.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for not being like the white model.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:11.59,0:11:15.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think that's, that's why I call it internalized racism,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:15.27,0:11:21.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cause I don't think that I in a vacuum am racist against Blacks,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:21.64,0:11:27.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but because I come from a white context that Blacks are not like whites,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:27.65,0:11:30.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and therefore I should be against Blacks,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:30.88,0:11:36.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or Asians are not like whites, therefore I criticize Asians for not being like whites.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:38.66,0:11:42.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was wanting to think that I was white.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:42.16,0:11:43.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was wanting to blend in,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:43.86,0:11:47.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was just wanting to assimilate to this extreme degree,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:47.80,0:11:50.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,til I realized who I really wanted to be,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:50.30,0:11:51.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I looked back,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:51.61,0:11:57.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and my family's internment in the concentration camps had a huge impact on them.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:57.58,0:12:00.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They didn't want to identify with being Japanese,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:00.22,0:12:02.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because when they said they were Japanese,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:02.12,0:12:07.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they were discriminated against severely & locked up.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:07.09,0:12:11.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They didn't want to identify as being Buddhist anymore,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:11.19,0:12:14.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so my grandfather became Christian to blend in,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:14.26,0:12:17.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he like lost his real religion,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:17.80,0:12:20.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and just now I'm starting to reclaim that.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:21.50,0:12:24.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My dad taught me a lot of lessons.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:24.00,0:12:29.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Family jokes about him being the Archie Bunker of the family, y'know?
Dialogue: 0,0:12:29.88,0:12:38.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And um, Chinese are like loud and noisy businessmen that try to take your money or something like that.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:38.79,0:12:41.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Several of my family members do not like Japanese.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:41.49,0:12:43.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think a lot of the older ones especially
Dialogue: 0,0:12:43.76,0:12:46.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,still remember the Sino-Japanese war,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:46.50,0:12:53.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in which Japan invaded China and prettymuch brutalized a lot of people.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:53.17,0:12:54.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Yutaka]... int he process...
Dialogue: 0,0:12:54.40,0:12:57.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[David L] Yeah, and a lot of them remember that, and that continues.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:57.27,0:13:03.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think they perceive the Japanese as arrogant, distrustful, extremely violent, and repressed.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:03.94,0:13:11.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Yutaka] ...a lot of that... so much of that's true too, that's the hard thing to deny.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:11.92,0:13:14.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[David L] But it's not true for a lot of Japanese people...
Dialogue: 0,0:13:14.76,0:13:17.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Yutaka]... right, for us sitting right here...
Dialogue: 0,0:13:19.73,0:13:26.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The number of times where I have not intervened on your behalf, or on your behalf,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:26.07,0:13:30.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even on your behalf, for my own people, you know,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:30.70,0:13:34.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where racism has flown, and I've let it fly
Dialogue: 0,0:13:34.04,0:13:39.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about Black people, about Asians, about other Latinos even, about Indians,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:39.71,0:13:43.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I've, I think I have a lot of shame about that,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:43.68,0:13:47.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so if I expose that, what are you gonna think of me now?
Dialogue: 0,0:13:47.42,0:13:53.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know, that kind of stuff is part of what makes this heavy for me.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:53.16,0:13:57.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A woman was talking about "oh those Cubans are taking over Florida",
Dialogue: 0,0:13:57.10,0:14:00.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know, just running with it,
Dialogue: 0,0:14:00.87,0:14:04.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I sat there, and I didn't say anything.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:04.14,0:14:06.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And finally she said "Hugh, I wanna ask you something.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:06.94,0:14:09.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I hope you know I wasn't wanting to offend you".
Dialogue: 0,0:14:12.51,0:14:15.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And all of the things that I wanted to say, I sat on.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:15.92,0:14:17.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know, I sat on it.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:17.62,0:14:21.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's an example to me of being shameful and embarrassed
Dialogue: 0,0:14:21.12,0:14:26.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of not coming to intervene on your behalf, or on my behalf for that matter.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:27.30,0:14:29.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I understand.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:29.20,0:14:33.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Earlier in my life I was totally surrounded by white people,
Dialogue: 0,0:14:33.47,0:14:36.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that was my life aside from my family.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:36.14,0:14:38.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was all white people around me.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:38.71,0:14:43.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And every once in awhile, I'd hear a comment like that, or something like that
Dialogue: 0,0:14:43.14,0:14:45.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about Cubans or Mexicans or whatever,
Dialogue: 0,0:14:45.45,0:14:48.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"oh but Roberto you're not like that, I mean, I wasn't talking..."
Dialogue: 0,0:14:48.88,0:14:51.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wasn't even Roberto then, I was Bob or something like that.
