Jimmy O. Yang: "How to American" | Talks at Google

yes, yes, but I don't want to give parenting advice. Thanks thanks. I feel incredibly grateful. I'm the last one, so I did it. This better be good, yeah. First of all, it will be long, hello dad. I mean, I didn't get the hot dog signature on the book, but that's not a complaint, there's just one, yeah, kudos on your comments about crazy rich Asians being the Black Panther to really strong agents. I feel strong about that too, this is the thought leadership of a boss, so I'm also a 1.5 generation Asian Canadian and I went to Canada when I was 14, my voice might be shaking right now, sorry guys, too excited , oh, they are good, yes, I also like the leadership a lot.

How did you say that the French say that the difference between the boring Asian America, I mean ABC, here and the point five generations that I see, there is a change like in the total classification of ABC, 1.5 more generation as Asia increases specifically in China after 2005, is there still more to do? To do and the thought leadership part is I don't want to divide anyone. We think all these labels are like that too. The version is like a chat on Google as globally. How do you like to tell people that we are equal? Like we're all immigrants and you should be proud of who you are, yeah, like they haven't been in your shoes, yeah, I think it's hard to tell people that, even if you turn on a TV like something like the immigration thing.

It's so politicized that there are two sides and there are two people arguing that they never get anywhere right and that's why I want to write a book like this where it's just me telling my story and hopefully humanizing the experience of immigrants and so maybe people can see it from my point of view and in a fun and happy way and really understand what it was like to be an immigrant. It's not always soft stories like oh whatever, but you know it in a real way, like this is a real person, so I think that's important to me and it's hard to convince people, but sometimes it's easier. , it's like telling jokes to the writers' room, you don't want to tell them, hey, this is the joke I want to make, but you want to write. of making them believe that they came up with that right idea, you should make them think that it's their idea and and how you do it, maybe by telling them a story through different media, standing books or just telling my story in person , so I think and just showing them who you are, letting them know that you're an immigrant and I think that works more than arguing with someone and pushing a point down that they throw at you.

I think we are all very lucky to be able to listen. your story and thanks guys
