Edwyn "Eddie" Huang shares his experience of growing up as an outcast and getting the confidence to self-identify without opposing to the dominant culture.
I love Eddie Huang! He's soo inspirational and funny and smart! I love that he's not afraid to be himself and break stereotypes and give a face to Asians in America!

Damn, i can relate to those first words about not having a home so much. I was born in Russia, lived there till i was 15, but i just felt i dont belong, felt weird, when i moved to China, i was just a "laowai" tourist to most people, when i moved to Canada, i was just a "russian dude" to everybody... Citizen off the world *homeless* ;D

Hey I know this is long ago but when I read your comment it really hit home. I was born Africa moved to Holland at the 7 and now I live in London. In Holland I was black/African in london I'm African/black/Dutch/ British (very confusing I know) 😜. But you know what I see myself a person who's home is our beautiful planet earth. I take it like an MVP and l live it like a boss😎

I dealt with the same stuff growing up as a half-Korean. But if there's one thing I learned about living in the fringes of the social order, it's that you don't belong to any group or class. You are literally forced into figuring out who, exactly, you are, and living your life based on yourself, rather than peers. I hung out with White, Hispanic, and Black kids in the back of the classroom like me. We hung out at the lunch room and grew into ourselves and always supportive of eachother.

I love him. Like Eddie, I'm a Taiwanese immigrant so I can identify with everything he's saying in this talk. Self-identity can be a confusing thing growing up under our circumstances; I just wish I had gotten his message earlier in life... And I get that some people are put off when they see this kind of personality coming out of an asian guy, but if you look past that (which you should in the first place), there's a lot of respect to be had for this dude.

I'm so fuckin' future because like Eddie, and his fuckin' future self, the ethnicity does not have to matter. I'm German, Russian, Irish, Welsh, Scottish, and Ojibwa. The order of designation expresses nothing. What we identify as matters nothing. Who we are as human beings means everything. Respek' (ala- Ali G [with whom I identify with as a human who knows what it is to speak Arabic and not be an Arab even though I speak Arabic better than most ethnic Arabs I grew up with]). We are World citizens. We are the new generation. Give us what we are due. Not what we deserve.

The strongest point is his ideas about oppression being latent. That you fighting against oppression still makes you oppressed, why fight? Why waste your time, because that's what they want you to do. What he did was make his own world, make his own space. I ain't mad at that.

As a British Born Chinese, I can relate to what he is saying from my own experience. I couldn't remember when the shift in my mind when I wanted to eat like other kids. I didn't attack people saying 'Chink'. Fear. But, still considered his realisation that he was a 'reaction' to 'dominant culture' except, I interpret it as aggressive people & that they were not 'dominant society' but types within society. Still trying to live it even at 40. We're all 1 but different.

Most individuals of minority groups share a similar story to that of Eddie's and understand we should be proud of who we are, but that doesn't mean another story of the same kind and the re-utterance of the same message is devalued, because those stories are still able to connect to and resonate with our own experience, reminds us of that simple message worthy of remembrance, and are always a celebration of the uniqueness of an individual.

...connected with and enjoyed Eddie's story, so the talk is a success. Ted videos spread ideas for the people. Just because I myself didn't find some of its videos extraordinary (although it is questionable if extraoridinary-ness is the correct criteria we judge the quality of Ted videos) and I myself find a non-chef talking about food disagreeable (when most people don’t find problem with that), doesn't mean that the whole Ted thing needs to be reassessed.
