  1. Wow I watched the entire series I learned a lot. The Chinese bring so much to American Culture. I think that’s the beauty of American culture is that there are so many cultures within it to make it what it is. I had no idea the Chinese worked the cotton fields and built a community in Mississippi during Jim Crow. And to think people question them as they’re foreigners is astounding and flat out ridiculous. The one woman’s southern accent is thicker than syrup! I think some people just want to be mean and hateful or their just stupid or both. But this series was fantastic 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

  2. I've lived in Zhengzhou, China for four years. This is central China, Henan, kind of the breadbasket, and noodles are popular here. The food is pretty spicy and it's reasonably priced. It's not as fancy as Beijing or Shanghai.

  3. Super good video! I live super super close to the SGV and I always go to these places just to walk around and eat food, I'm super happy there's a video about the SGV and all the food there is!

  4. JUST A WONDERFUL SERIES THOUGH I'M CHINESE CANADIAN WITH NO CANADIAN BLOOD BUT LOVE SEEING ANYTHING TO DO WITH GREAT CHINESE COOKING. ONE GREAT MOVIE ABOUT THIS AND TAIWANESE PEOPLE IS "EAT, DRINK, MAN WOMAN" A FUNNY WONDERFUL FILM THAT MAKES YOUR MOUTH WATER!!
