The guy in the article is completely different from the Kevin Kreider guy in the video lol.
I can relate quite a bit with the guy in the video though about being asian. My mom was from the Philippines, but my dad was American, and I was born in NJ.
When I was younger, I did get quite a lot of Asian jokes thrown my way, all the time. I was called ching chang chong quite a bit, like the guy in the video, I guess kids are just uncreative all over. My nickname on the wrestling team was simply, "Asian". "Hey Asian, over here". I would often get asked where I was from, with one time, me saying "I was born here", and they simply replied in an exaggerated stereotypical Asian accent "Wah dat, you weh bohn eeya?" pulling their eyes into a squint. I didn't even have an accent. The wrestling coach himself used me quite a lot for his jokes, often making Hiroshima, Godzilla, and other stereotypical jokes and what not. The older I got, the more Hispanic I started to look I guess, because then a bunch of beaner jokes were starting to get included along side all the chinese and japanese jokes. That backhandd compliment the guy in the video was talking about, my version was, "Girls would find you so much more attractive if you were white".
Sounds rather mundane now, but at the time to a kid getting singled out like that, yeah, it was disheartening. I did often wish I was white, and was often embarrassed, ashamed, and even angry at the fact that I was part asian. I hated how easy it was just to tear me down by picking from such a large pool of Asian jokes and stereotypes without even knowing me.
Nowadays, I don't really encounter that problem as much. I've filled out quite a bit since then, and I look more ambiguous in terms of race than before I'd say.
In terms of dating at least, while I was aware it was certainly a factor, the women I pursued at least, didn't really care about me being Asian.
