This song makes me think of my mom. She's a brown woman from Cuba married to a white American man. They're rrly in love, but their cultures and personalities clash. She almost cried the other night because we don't have any family traditions, because my dad's family really doesn't, and she grew up with a lot of family traditions that she treasures.

being a 1st gen woc with strict and toxic parents this song just hits me in the heart, i just want to experience fun relationships with guys or girls like most my age are, i feel so left out, all i do is stress over online school, clean the house 24/7, cry, sleep, eat and that's it? i wish i could be normal and pretty enough for people to want me, i grew out of my white validation phase thankfully, but part of me is still holding on, i just want someone to make me feel loved without me having to change myself to fit the damn beauty standard

I'm a half-asian guy. As a kid growing up I used to be embarrassed by my Chinese mother's ways and second-language English. I've since 180'd and kinda wish I was more Chinese, super proud to be half. This song is great; love to all the women out there and people in general with whom this song resonates. You don't need "fixing."

If I could, I'd be your little spoon
And kiss your fingers forevermore
But, big spoon, you have so much to do
And I have nothing ahead of me
You're the sun, you've never seen the night
But you hear its song from the morning birds
Well, I'm not the moon, I'm not even a star
But awake at night I'll be singing to the birds
Don't wait for me, I can't come
Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me
But I do, I think I do
And you're an all-American boy
I guess I couldn't help trying to be your best American girl
You're the one
You're all I ever wanted
I think I'll regret this
Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me
But I do, I finally do
And you're an all-American boy
I guess I couldn't help trying to be the best American girl
Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me
But I do, I think I do

a half japanese half white woman who is from america made this song. (ik she was born in japan, but she wasnāt raised there, and iām pretty sure sheās in america now which is a struggle being poc) itās amazing. the feeling of being a poc but feeling distant from both sides, and not fitting into the standards of america.

i know a lot of people interpret this song to be about being in love with/in a relationship with someone and feeling alienated because of your culture/upbringing, but to me this song makes me think of growing up and thinking this exact way about everyone, especially friends. i always felt embarrassed and ashamed of how i was raised and tried to hide it around my american friends. i wish i was actually strong enough to get to the point where i can say "you mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me but i do i finally do." it's so hard to actually accept and love who you are when everyone around you makes you feel so different

It makes me sad knowing that Iāll never fit his beauty standards, not just his but any boys beauty standards. They always choose the white girls, and they donāt even know how lucky they are. Then some of them complain about being brunette instead of having blonde hair, imagine being a 1st Gen immigrant :/
