10/12/20 • 32 min

ep 1.2

{We want our kids to watch tv and be like, that Asian actor in there is very normal. It's normalize, it's not like "omg dad, there's an Asian guy!"} - Jack

In part 2 of my conversation with Jack and Gavin of DIU Podcast, we talked about a topic that we talk often about amongst ourselves which is Asian representation in the media.

We talked about how Asian representation in the media was like, how Asian representation in media is right now, and what we hope Asian representation in media would be like in the future.

We also talked about who is able to tell Asian specific stories and if it even matters who tells it as long as they are good. To end the episode, we recommended some good Asian representation media to check out and also talked about a famous Diaspora Asian.

Listen and find out who we talked about.

"There are going to be those reminders that you are not one of them. So you can front as much as you want, no one is going to look at you if you are walking down the street. But, don't be fooled, as diaspora kids it's hard to say we belong there as well (Asia)." - Gavin

Being Asian and do we feel Asian enough as we didn't grow up in the East.
Being Diaspora Asian living in the west.
What would it really be like if we diaspora kids actually go back to our homelands for good?

2－THE VIETNAMESE HUSTLE - BEING A VIETNAMESE CANADIAN FEMALE FT. NINA (PASS THE POUTINE)

Send us a text

I've made it to S1S2! And it's over an hour long!

In today's conversation, I talked to Nina, a Vietnamese Canadian from the podcast PASS THE POUTINE, a podcast that Nina produces, records, and edits on her own.

We talked a little about her family's history being refugees in Hong Kong after the Vietnam war, their time living in Canada after immigrating, her experience growing up in Canada not feeling Vietnamese, her time working abroad in Asia, and of course talked about her podcast, PASS THE POUTINE and about the journey of podcasting.

Throughout our conversation, she keeps dropping gems like:

1. How petty her Asian dad is

2. The Vietnamese Hustle Lifestyle and how Vietnamese Men are like

3. How she ate in the teacher's room during lunch because no one wanted to eat with her

4. How she ended up making friends in high school with Korean international students

5. Travelling to Korea and Vietnam after she graduated high school at 18

6. Her podcast journey, recording podcasts with strangers in her car

7. How Asian American men be winning on Tinder in Asia and how it is very easy to get an Asian girlfriend as an Asian American men

8. How she didn't feel Vietnamese growing up as she was like the classic ABG (or if you are old and Canadian, you called them NAMMER GIRLS)

9. Being Vietnamese Canadian
