What it means to grow up in an ASIAN household | Hey Tablo Ep. 33

It's not just in an Asian household.

A lot of people, uh, seem to relate to what it was like being raised in a very strict, um...

Well, for me, an Asian household, which meant, like, you had shit flying at you all the time.

You weren't allowed to, like, you know, voice normal human opinions.

If you posted it on Reddit, things that, that would, like, have people call the police on your family, uh, it's normal if it was in an Asian household.

[laughs] A lot of people related.

Look at this.

"We're Asian.

Our love language is physical attack." [laughs] "Asian household, handshake emoji, Latin American household." [laughs] Here's one.

"This totally works in Latin homes too, because we got a chancla." So I, I looked up what that is and it, it just means flip-flops.

[laughs] Or slippers.

So a projectile that Asian parents and apparently Latin American parents, uh, use as tools- [laughs] ... tools to put us back in our place.

[laughs] "My mom was Italian American.

She was heavy on the hitting with whatever was available." [laughs] Okay, so Italy has entered the chat.

[laughs] Okay, so far Asian households, uh, Latin America, and Italian Americans have entered the chat.

"We joke about their choice of weapon, which could be a belt, a hanger, or slippers." The wildest thing [laughs] I got hit with...

Okay, mind you, I'm not condoning any of this, okay? And none of the people commenting here are condoning this or saying that this is okay or that we should pass this on to our f- future generations.

What we're saying is that it's not okay, but because it's so not okay, uh, that's why we're coming together like this and discussing this.

It's, it's a, it's a way to, like, let go of, of all the pain.

Oh my God, I just...

Hang on.

I'm having PTSD right now.

Okay.

The, the craziest thing I got hit with, uh, you know, people will throw out stuff like, you know, my members will say stuff like golf clubs.

[laughs] Which was a favorite when we were raised.
