I Pretended To Be Chinese on a Blindfolded Game Show (IT WORKED)
I went on a game show with @jubilee where I pretended to be Chinese to win $$$. Time to really put my Mandarin skills to the test! This was for their Odd One Out video “6 Asians Vs 1 Secret White Guy (ft. Xiaomanyc 小马在纽约)” which you can see in full here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6vdzeLG8S4

Secret Asian Man 😅
I would rather hook up with a random latina from the mall than any women who has ever won ms univers lol
The way you said cilantro…
This is basically cheating we have gone over how he literally has a traditional accent this was a win for him from the start
Lyanne definitely speak fluent Mandarin. Her English has more mandarin accent then Cantonese accent.
Outside shoes and inside sandals
Yo bro you are literally a YouTuber but it's still kind of cringe to watch yourself that amazes me
The way he pronounces Cilantro is upsetting to me, I’ve never heard it pronounced that way before
That was cool and a good experience for you and the others!
I was watching the video thinking what I’d have to do to blend in as a mole completely forgetting the fact that the Middle East is in Asia 😂
They goot you set up my man. They got 3 females and two of them are of the same ethnicity? Of course they'll team up. They set you up, breh.
Yo is nobody going to bring up homegirls ears lol.
This was sooo much fun to watch lol
1:35 three of my cousins are named Kevin and they are Asian American
You real for this one dude. Much love from UK
Kinda clickbait
white is a color in which any ethnicity can be for black people you'd have to be albino thats the only way but what's really grinding my gears is when people are saying "black and white" and then say "asian" which is not a color. just use the proper terminology instead, caucasian, asian, black people are a little trickier i guess since you need to add like "african american" etc.
this is a huge pet peeve of mine. lol
watch out jubilee might delete your channel for even reacting to to your own appearence in that video! (yes this is happening)
And im white 😁
It’s a shame they didn’t get you to talk more in chinese, I mean what’s the point to bring an American who speaks chinese if he doesn’t talk? 🤔
That indian girl is from the state karnataka which is where im from as well.
Native mandarin speaker generally has the ability to interpret what you’re saying even if you pronounce badly, as long as you can link it up into a proper sentence.
Xiao Ma has good standard of Chinese by proper training. He will sound Chinese to Asian Americans for sure, especially those who are beyond second generations.
But to a native Chinese speaker, there is still an accent, pronunciation and structuring gap. If you are not a native speaker, you tend to speak more formal, and it’s very hard to speak casual. The slangs will feel forced in, and here and there you will add in extra words that natives sometimes would skip etc.
I’m not someone who will praise another just cos they “speak the language”. Because I’m trying to learn Thai now and I know I often sound like a joke 😂 Saw a reply to a comment, I think Asian Mother tongue is disappearing/ became less important. So in general, older generations people will be very happy to see you speaking their language. Even if you said “ni hao” they’ll be happy and say good job.
But I would say for Xiao Ma, his pronunciation while still “white” is pretty good. Can tell he makes an effort to sound native/chinese. He doesn’t “sh” too much. Example, many “white” ppl who speaks Chinese (claimed fluently) would have pronounced “shiao ma” and I can see he attempts to prevent it from peeking through. But also because of that, his sentence sounds a bit too intentional to be local.
Being multi-lingual is a hard-earned benefit. It’s good enough for those who speaks only their language to understand you. Let’s not be obsessed about sounding “local/native”. It may not always benefit you to seem local anyway. 🤷🏻♀️
I could swear that the title of the video on youtubes front page was "i pretended to be blindfolded on a chinese game show". Nice bait 🙂
“ you can always learn a language” that lady is next level lol
Isn't it weird how Americans call Aisans Asian but Europeans are White!? Why is that?? They all sound American to me!
yoo any tips for starting to learn chinese
Who wanna be a polyglot like him?
but now imagine the chaos if you spoke ALL the languages
LMFAO
THIS IS GENIUS !! LOVED THE VIDEO !!
So it sounds like "Kevin" was Chinese and American, and not Chinese-American
The hottest asian was a trap. If you said Japanese it was all over.
anusha? poor thing
I am 0% asian, the cilantro pronunciation would’ve sealed it for me immediately
Wait, I just wanted to say about the "You're look fatter" comment is, most of the time, said in goodwill as a way to comment on how the person they're talking to looks like they've been taking care of themselves and basically it's trying to say "Oh, I care about you". While I do think maybe since times have changed a bit and just saying it like that is a bit crude to some people, I think it's a cultural thing which most people who didn't fully grow up there would get.
if that makes sense?
My jaw dropped when the last girl spoke "kannada" (03:20) my local language, that was Outta no where, i knew she was Indian but didn't know she was from KA.
As an Asian, your biggest mistake is to praise China. Anyone from China loathed China that's why they left. They only go back to visit relatives but they are not awed by all the development or the achievement, they couldn't care less because whatever it is, not being in China is always much better for most overseas Chinese.
7:26 best reaction ever
I am a white american and I make everybody take off their shoes and I have slippers that I wash for guests LOL
The women just eliminated the men 1×1. This is kind of funny, because my wife is Indian-American, I am a mix of Ukrainian-American and Irish-American, and she says I am more Indian than most Americanized Indians. Maybe Asian women think the men aren't Asian enough for them?
“Pocky” what a legend
10:31 I should have said I was indiginous australian 🤣🤣🤣
Ain't cringy at all bro.
STANDIN ON BIDNESS
Blue dress’ ears were so big
