    North america black soul food is based on the scraps that slaves were given. The cooking style is not based on the garbage that they gave us as slaves. But yea, soul food good AF 😂

    I love you honesty we have some of the most soulfully flavorful dishes we learned to make something amazing out of nothing ✊🤎

    Ironic that Americans call other countries’s food unhealthy while also having an obesity rate off over 33%

    Edit: spelling

    Yeah, for better or worse I never had such adverse racial experiences. Some things probably slipped past my head, and i grew up in an area w a decent asian community, so i think I don’t have much of a painbody in that aspect. It seems Jon cares abt what ppl think a lot and is trying to work towards rewriting "the narrative" to influence a society where ppl don’t say shitty things abt food or something like someone did to him as a kid. And there’s probably always gonna be ppl who care abt what others think in different lvls. Not sure abt "decolonization", but i think if ppl work towards things they believe and try to bring the best of themselves, most of the time it’s not the worst thing

    I guess it’s where you from, because I never heard anything negative about others food. Mostly, that it was healthier.

    Dude who tf says this

  9. WareforCoin on April 5, 2023 at 12:19 pm

    It boggles my mind that anyone actually believed that kind of thing? Like, how are you going to actually believe that the plate full of vegetables you get from Chinese food is worse for you than the plate full of vegetables your mom makes you eat? I get the MSG thing– people were crazy about that, but like… The only difference in the broccoli in the Chinese food from the boiled stuff you get as a side is the Chinese know the true potential of broccoli’s flavor absorbing power.
    Racism is illogical.

    What’s the music playing in the background?

    You, your spirit, your kind eyes, your words, your food, your dog, your home, your kitchen… are beautiful. K bye ☺️

    I love getting white people to try cow brains and tongue

  13. LGBTQ is a hate group on April 5, 2023 at 12:24 pm

    Yea no one was taught that. You’re just justifying your hatred against whites.

  14. Sarah no on April 5, 2023 at 12:26 pm

    My husband was made fun of in school for bringing curries from home. Got told it looked like dog/cat food/vomit.
    He started just taking sandwiches to school even though he hates them and thinks they’re bland.

  15. CB on April 5, 2023 at 12:26 pm

    Lmao wtf are you on about

  16. CallMeX on April 5, 2023 at 12:26 pm

    I’m Jamaican and trust me when I tell you whenever those very same people try ethnic food they refrain from eating the real garbage they consume on a day to day basis.

  17. FABIO VITI on April 5, 2023 at 12:28 pm

    Guess what, EVERY FUCKING CUISINE is made from scraps and garbage.
    The italian cuisine is one of the most famous on the planet but can be reduced to
    "Ok, I have pasta and some poor animal i killed this morning… in how many ways can I combine those things…"
    Cuisine has to be made from scraps because that’s what the poor peoples had to eat; we cannot forget millenias of history because some (casually english native speaker) fucker said that his shitty food his superior for REASONS?!

  18. Mr. Love and Kindness on April 5, 2023 at 12:29 pm

    I hope im not being ignorant or insensitive, if so I apologize, but isn’t it historically accurate that many of these recipes did come from slavery and the scraps that slave owners would throw out? I wasn’t under the impression that was some lie perpetuated by colonialism or however you phrased it.

  19. Coziestbbw on April 5, 2023 at 12:30 pm

    I love you

  20. GameboyBlue on April 5, 2023 at 12:32 pm

    Shoutout to the people who have never even thought about this but can recall a tome it hit them in their childhood

  21. Rose Of Sharon on April 5, 2023 at 12:32 pm

    Love this so much! Thank you!❣️💕

  22. Charlie J. on April 5, 2023 at 12:35 pm

    I did like "Tifa’s Theme" being featured at least.

  23. Keviv Tawar on April 5, 2023 at 12:35 pm

    We indians know we eat healthy ( relatively). Rule of thumb anything u make in ur home with good ingredients( even though it’s fried) will always be better than restaurant bought salads or other "healthy" Menu.

  24. identitybandit on April 5, 2023 at 12:36 pm

    I legit got emotional listening to this. Didn’t even realize I needed to hear it.

  25. Dan Benson on April 5, 2023 at 12:37 pm

    The song is called Tifa’s Theme from Final Fantasy 7. Hope everyone is doing well and holding on too hope for better days ❤️🦦🦝❤️

  26. Jaca on April 5, 2023 at 12:38 pm

    If you’re people/anyone are that insecure about your food, you’re an inferior person. Just be secure

  27. Glogalog on April 5, 2023 at 12:41 pm

    I’m Korean, I’m in my 40’s, but born and raised in America. This has literally never happened to me. And until I saw a few of your shorts, I have never heard someone say that ethnic food is unhealthy, ever. Msg as an ingredient, yes, but never Asian food as a whole. You are pushing a narrative that is untrue a seems like you are looking for validation. Stop it.

  28. Eric Delvalle on April 5, 2023 at 12:42 pm

    Well said 🙂

  29. r d on April 5, 2023 at 12:42 pm

    I…think you’re trippin.

  30. Hunger on April 5, 2023 at 12:43 pm

    If these people dont like your food, they could just not eat it. I like bland food. I really do not see why people are complaining about other peoples food. Its just food if they like it let em eat it. (This is where ill get people complaining) i feel like the people in America are too free, people getting freedom just makes them more likely to complain. (Im not talking about freedom of specific groups of people, like people can say whatever they want and nothing happens

  31. Beyond Star on April 5, 2023 at 12:45 pm

    you’re so fine chef

  32. Dez Chase on April 5, 2023 at 12:48 pm

    On God if someone cooks me a meal and then starts going into race theory and theory and s*** like that I’m gonna smack his a**

  33. Slimegoose on April 5, 2023 at 12:48 pm

    Sorry I stopped listening in the middle of your story bcs I found you eating soup attractive 👀
    I don’t mind watching the second time tho… 😏

  34. soyoy on April 5, 2023 at 12:49 pm

    no but msg is actually really unhealthy 🤨

  35. Your Pro-Mag will jam on April 5, 2023 at 12:49 pm

    I feel you but MSG gives me headaches

  36. cooljoe1920 on April 5, 2023 at 12:49 pm

    What the fuck are you talking about? Just stop being weird

  37. Plague Doctor on April 5, 2023 at 12:50 pm

    Im so thankful my parents raised me in a very integrated community. Ive had food from every nationality around me, and so far my absolute favorite (even as a mainly meat based diet person) has been Indian vegetarian food

  38. marie kastler on April 5, 2023 at 12:52 pm

    Love you, friend, but I genuinely got migraines from MSG, even if I didn’t know I was eating it.

  39. T on April 5, 2023 at 12:56 pm

    Oh my god, get the fuck off my feed.

  40. Walker Dillingham on April 5, 2023 at 12:56 pm

    I mean if food is caked in grease and sugar it’s going to make you feel like shit due to how unhealthy it is to cake something in grease and sugar

  41. Tina Diggs on April 5, 2023 at 12:58 pm

    Chef Jon Kung, nothing but the truth!!!

  42. Ms. Diva007 on April 5, 2023 at 1:00 pm

    Oh my gosh thank you for such a beautiful post! I have watched you cook and this solidifies your intelligence understanding of history and culture; you rock!💜

  43. Oliver Kalamata on April 5, 2023 at 1:02 pm

    You don’t like white people do you?

  44. Gibson Lee on April 5, 2023 at 1:03 pm

    Great video, I always like the deep mindset that you have about the world and how cooking relates to it.
    I couldn’t help but notice that you put an FF7 remix as the music! Great choice

  45. Rich Stone on April 5, 2023 at 1:05 pm

    Such Bullsxxt. Everyone in America loves soul food and Asian cuisine. No ONE refers to it as " inferior". Frankly, our love of potatoes comes from the UK, while our love of sugar, comes from France, and literally NOONE defends them as healthy. Sorry to interrupt your big woke BLM with a moment of reality.

  46. Yurrii on April 5, 2023 at 1:06 pm

    Wow thanks for refreshing 😌 my mind🫶🙌🙌🙌

  47. Lando Wilson on April 5, 2023 at 1:10 pm

    Love you bro , thanks for this ..

  48. Ever'body Auntie on April 5, 2023 at 1:10 pm

    No one will ever tell me my cultural food isn’t magnificent. I have the entire African _continent_ of cuisine distinctly telling me otherwise. 👏🏾❤️

  49. Im Woofer on April 5, 2023 at 1:10 pm

    Ok colonized

  50. King Grimm on April 5, 2023 at 1:11 pm

    Shit if Mexican food was healthy I wouldn’t have been fat as a kid
