0:00 why he out of breath I was getting over halfway I was like ████ I was like he's taking up the ass I'm like some Asian Americans sound like I'm going to come I'm going to come I'm going to come do you guys believe there is an Asian-American accent asan does it sound like we have an Asian-American accent and that also means we all have a unified accent then yeah that' be kind of Trac similarities between it wow that's like a good good question I do know of one um where I hear it and I'm like oh that sounds like some ████ geeky ass Asian-American ████ and it's the way Freddy W speaks like the wayed so specific the way he speaks like I I close my eyes
0:51 like oh you a Asian dude from Mil pedus or some ████ I don't know how how it's like that but cuz there I feel like there's like like if you study well in school yeah usually you just pronounce things well and if I close my eyes it'll just sound like a a regular white guy but the for for some reason the way Freddy W speaks it sounds like oh you a Asian ass ████ I don't know what it is is it because he sounds like a nerd um I don't know cuz certain words it sounds like he has an accent but he doesn't it's weird I don't know but I I can hear it certain at certain time I would say that I feel like a decent enough linguist should should be able to separate the differences between like an Asian-American accent versus like a an African-American accent to a white American to a Mexican ameran Latino American you know what I mean because
1:41 you'd first be like oh it sounds like they're from California and then you like dig into the slang list more and be like well they're not saying certain vocabulary or certain sling more Regional or how they pronounce things they is it's not what people think so in the sgv it's a bunch of ch and Vietnamese that learn English from Mexicans so they have a Chinese accent with Mexican slang they'll be like n fool that's stupid e but like with a Vietnamese accent so it's like no that's the stupid fool that's the right it depends who you grew up around with yeah and who you're hanging with my accent changes oh really yeah it's it's weird like it changes if I'm with my Turkish friend I'm literally like Habibi brother like I
2:33 talk like that she does cuz she does okay so we're like brother like like we literally like I that's how I talk and then with my Asian friends like somehow just throwing Asian words and Asian as hell like yeah pretty much and then at work yeah and then but if I'm angry and I talk fast and I sound Asian like certain yeah depends how I'm feeling if I'm angry it sounds Asian if I don't sometimes my colleagues will start laughing cuz like oh my God rock you sound so Bogan I like my custom service voice like it's it just really I Chang mine just changes I don't hear it yeah but people do I think there's specific Asian-American uh ways to speak like one is I would say Hawaiian pigeon mhm it's not all Hawaiian cuz I think it's heavily influenced by the Asians yeah
3:24 that grew up there there's like sgv there's like ba area but like all of them are like they took elements of like the black community whatever yeah that's that sounds pretty simple this one dude broke it down pretty funny yeah I think he I think he's black but he said the thing that like I didn't think anyone would say this but he breaks down what it really sounds like to him and it's kind of funny an Asian ACC not this ████ guy I was like that guy's not Blacky Asian sounding voices at a rate higher than chance that sounds white as ████ that gives me anxiety cuz he said he sounds so like s yeah he sounds like a he's a they they like they you tell when it's a they them when they speak that fast with a high pitch voice I'm like I just want to hit them and say slow down ████ I don't know why
4:14 it's going to that video but listen to what that guy has to say he's he's kind of the dude that first like where it kind of that discussion went viral because of what he said they're an Asian-American accent I've had a lot of Asian-American friends tell me they can hear one and there is substantial evidence that listeners can identify Asian sounding voices at a rate higher than chance this is actually so crazy cuz I know exactly what he means by asian-americans have an accent it's like I can't really explain it but okay this might sound crazy but they lowkey sound like white gay men but without the all the extra flamby I did a lot of research and it's honestly really difficult to find trees spot that's kind of what you're talking about that was like your first example kind of is that what you think of said listen to this dude F when yourself public can be super intimidating and sometimes the best way to feel confident is to watch someone else do it that's
5:04 genius that is exactly what it sounds like at least these examples smart ass prop like Freddy W's like that except he like th's he's he speak he sounds those out kind of like a baby like like like like what I don't know effect yeah that is weird huh white gay man without the extra flamboyan that's kind of that's kind of SP that's on point I hate to say it but it's true it is true I don't know if we sound like that but I definitely know people that sound like it's a certain kind of Asian guy I think yeah it's the Asian guy with a stick up his Button he's always explaining ████ to you yeah that's the guy he's overe explaining yeah it's honestly that's him it's the college ones yeah yeah that's true Yeah the more educated ones like you know uh the sixpack shortcuts guy Mike chain Mike CH
5:54 yeah so he's making a comeback but he has one of those guys if you listen like oh E's Asian yeah I don't know how Mike Chang sounds Asian yeah you could just tell that he's like okay that guy's a Asian dude here's another uh explanation video and this dude's is actually more on the uh logical side it actually makes a lot of sense the ji asian-americans who are born in the United States all have a very specific accent and all these individuals speak perfect English but have distinct differences leading to the Asian-American accent and this accent is unique to Korean as well as Chinese Americans who moved to the United States at a young age or who were born here and some of the things that's characteristic of the Asian-American accent is its tone which is often monotone and it has a reputation of being flat compared to other populations who speak English and other features include increased pause between words as well as a jerkier speech overall and some people have even noticed that when we pronounce our Cas it tend to be a lot more Sofer for example when I say cracks
6:45 or takes I tend to not emphasize the K and maybe it's something that I do in particular but it's something that I do without thinking and much of this might be influenced by how asian-americans grew up in America for example we learned a lot of our languages or how we pronounce things from our parents and Asian language have unique featur for instance languages like Mandarin is syllable time meaning that every single syllable takes roughly the same amount of time and this could to transfer it over to how many asian-americans now speak and what's really interesting is that St these have shown that people can tell exactly if you're Asian or Not by listening only to your speech and I want to know if you guys can tell that I'm Asian-American just by listening to my ████ yeah cand why breathing it's cuz he sounds like a white gay man with that that's all I'm thinking about that that one's way better dude it sounds like he's taking up the ass but he's still trying to like support why he out of breath I was getting over halfway I was
7:36 like ████ I like he's taking up the ass I'm like huhan americ sound like I'm going to come I'm going to come I'm going to come it's like the seated swordfish where he's like hacking no this reminds me when I was in Vegas this Asian guy walked past me then he came back he's like and he sounding like that but he I thought he like he look gay like a gayan he was like hey how are you I thought you really pretty I have to come back and I was like huh and he's like yeah he said he's now I don't remember he's like what's your name like oh rockan he's like oh rockan beautiful name like like hold on oh it's so fast too much yeah but the way he was talking is very like high pitch in a way I've got a low voice and I know I do so when a guy has like a high voice to me I'm looking I'm like what's wrong with you the ████ wrong with you yeah I'm like I'm already from like I'm already visiting here he's like I can change that I was like oh God he grabbed my arm and I was like that's a
8:26 good you want to marry you do you know what I said to him I don't like it now he's going to go on next shark and like complain about it imagine he watches this asan I was like like Asians and he's like oh you're you're those type of Asian he's like well I have a good number dude these are the guys that are forever mad about it yeah he'll be talking ████ about me these are the dudes that are mad about it but it's like dude it's you you're bad yeah he came up really wrong the part that's scary is you don't know what you sound like and then so Gio already tells me I'm very non-expressive I I'm ████ do I sound like one of these ████ no cuz like was like we're FaceTiming yesterday and she's like what's wrong and I was like oh I'm just so happy to see you I I I finished driving I'm here she was that's her happy to see me face bro compared to
9:17 Latinos everybody's unexpressive Latinos I think are like erex expressive yeah that's different but yeah I totally agree I think like uh the thing of the what the dude said about it sounds like a white guy minus the flamboyant stuff taking it up the ass extra flamboyancy you think we sound like that I think I do I think I sound like that a lot of the time I'm thinking about it I'm like yeah sound like that like the first I mean maybe not all the time but like I remember the first time I went on I think Megan Bon's podcast and that was like the first time I'd ever done a podcast and I listen to it after I'm like I sound gay as ████ can I just look at Jordan's eyes and I'm here and I'm here talking about girls in relationships like I I sound gay yeah I need to go back I don't hear it from you guys I don't think I think I actively triy not to sound as gay if I can help it but I think yeah I think my
10:08 default voice really is that yeah that's my default higher pitched gay guy no flamboyant gay guy I totally understand why he said that he's got to own it then I think my English got much better over the years and as it gets better I get gayer because of the quality of your English yeah the better yeah when your vocab gets higher yeah when you start to enunciate I think anybody says it gets gayer yeah gay not is gay when somebody uses big words that I don't understand I'm like you gay yeah like teachers yeah I want to beat you trying to my gay friends yeah my gay friends like yeah they just pronounce every word like absolutely like they like but imagine you're like imagine your like your gay friend that's not flamboyant Probably sounds just like
11:00 an Asian guy yeah probably probably an Asian American are some like white ████ Tik tokers or whatever if you close your ears you're like I mean your eyes are like dance sounds Asian do you do that often what just try to test if like your voice sounds Asian I don't do that often but I do listen intently to voices yeah that's a pretty I'm so glad that that black dude said that ████ cuz I don't think anybody else would have like been willing to say that that's so good he was like hear me out hear me out we're not a good judge cuz we can't hear ourselves yeah for real we're biased yeah we're like no way we sound like that that's what we were saying no but that's like the Wong Fu Asians yeah I know it is yeah I think so too I think it's like that's the proper ones gentle proper Asians yeah they're the proper ones that did life right do you think we're proper Asians we're getting there I think yeah just a few steps behind one
11:51 investment at a yeah like I said the better my vocabulary and the more educated I become the gayer I am natural order of being an evolved human yeah evolving yeah cuz the Pinnacle of man yours is beyond just sounding gay it's just you're gay no cuz the Pinnacle of man is a gay man oh so once you reach the Apex of manhood yeah you can't get more manner than a gay guy it's true true what's more manlier than having sex with a man that's the madest thing you can do that's so mad I me having sex with 100 women at the same time I mean Jesus got nailed yeah he did and that's so that's so mad that's so the mest ████ you can be that's true yeah
