- If I'm being real, I
hesitate a lot talking
about interracial
relationships on our channel.
I want you guys to understand
that it's like a real issue
that goes on.
(upbeat music)

So we can get to a million subscribers!
If you've seen our old videos,
you know we did a series
called Slice N Rice Gives
- Advice.
- So today, we're gonna talk to you guys
about interracial relationships.
So we're gonna start
at the very beginnin'.
I know personally, me,
I get a lot of DMs of,
dudes be like, yo Slice
I like Asian girls,
but actually you guy and girl,
what I gotta do to get the Asian girl?
- You know what those
same people message me?
- What?
- Hey, Rice, you got any sisters?
(laughing)
(beep)
- Goin' to the beginnin',
what I wanna talk about,
and I wanna make this clear,
'cause even though we are in
a interracial relationship
and we do a lot of cultural videos,
when it comes to our love
and what I love about Glory.
It's not based off of her race.
Wasn't like I was goin' out there goin',
I'm searchin' for a Korean woman.
Like no, that didn't happen at all.
This all came naturally.
It just so happens,
she's Asian and I'm black
and what matters most was
how we treated each other
and what we found common ground in.
- Yeah and also, that being
said, don't limit yourself
to only one race, 'cause
then you'll be missin' out
on all the Skittles of the world.
- Why you lookin' me up and
down, what you missin' out?
What you missin' out for?
I got everything you need, girl.
- No, I'm serious though.
If you limit yourself to one race,
you're missin' out on
all of that opportunity.
What?
- So what, you missin' out?
What you're body check--
Yo, what are you practicin' for the NFL?
Goin' deeper into that, let's just say,
hypothetically speaking,
or if this really applies
to you, the big one that's in the back
of your head is of like,
How am I going to introduce
the person I'm with
to the parents?
What are they gonna think?
They're not even into it,
and that's a message
that we get constantly.
So, I think the best thing to do,
'cause a lot of people,
if you know eventually
you're gonna talk with someone's parents,
you know, first impressions
are the biggest thing.
And like I said in a previous video,
you never wanna compromise
yourself of who you are,
tryin' to impress, but
you also wanna be mindful
and understand the
background and the history.
- Yeah.
- Of their culture, and where
they might see things from.
And then, really just
use that positive energy
and love to really try
to overtake it and win.
If you see the relationship
that you are in going somewhere.
- Yeah.
- And that was really important,
so when I came over to Glory's
house and I met her family
for the first time,
and especially her mom.
And her mom saw me in
flesh, and I was like,
yeah what's up?
(laughing)
And she was like, yeah.
- No!
- I'm just playin'.
- I have something to say too,
this might be not good advice,
I'm just being real though.
Something that Matt would do
when he came into my house
for the first time is
he wouldn't wear a hat,
he kinda like covered his tattoo.
I mean like, I'm not saying
you gotta please others
and just dress the way
or act a certain way
to impress others, but I
think he was respectful
to my parents in a way where
he knew these stereotypes
that they may have had
in their head about Matt
before even meeting him.
He kind of like, eased them
into who he really was,
slowly, do you kinda get what I'm saying?
- Well that applies not just
for interracial relationships,
I think that applies to all relationships,
when you're meeting the parents,
it's a respectful thing.
You go to a job interview,
you're gonna dress up.
- [Rice] Exactly.
- You go to church, you're gonna dress up
to show respect, like,
hey I really care about
whoever I'm with and I
wanna give you my best.
It's good to present yourself in that way.
- Yeah.
- To show like, hey I
took the time to look nice
for you today because I
knew I was gonna meet you.
If I had it my way.
(laughing)
I woulda showed up shirtless
or oil all over my body.
- Oh my God!
(beep)
No, but that was really well put.
Like I just think he was so
polite and respectful to them.
He was always down no matter
what to eat what they made,
you know, he wasn't like,
no I'm not into that.
- No.
Your dad was offering me
prune juice and I felt like
that was a test, and that was
the one thing I kept refusin'.
I'm like, yo her dad really
want my butt to like, leak.
- To be fair that wasn't
like, Korean juice.
- It was prune juice, man, he kept goin',
like, yo you sure you
don't want no prune juice?
(laughing)
- I think the main point
when it comes to family,
I think very cliche, but
you need to be patient.
To be honest, when I was
dating Matt, I would cry a lot.
I would see all this nasty stuff,
but the moment you attack someone,
they put on a defense mode
and they're less likely
to listen to you, so you
gotta be really patient.
I gave you a lot of credit for that.
You were really patient.
And he was the one telling me,
you gotta understand
where they're coming from,
I don't speak Korean, that
might be hard for them
to have a relationship with me.
There might be stereotypes that
they've met in other people
that made them have a
bad impression of me.
He was the one telling me this!
That made me love you even more.
I'm not gonna cry, but.
(skin smacking)
(laughing)
Oh, sorry!
Is it the f--
Okay, mm!
(record scratching)
Yeah.
(bass drum drumming)
Yeah!
It's right, it's right,
am I right, am I right?
Am I right, am I right?
Yeah, I am!
- Okay, God.
- Yeah.
What were you gonna say next?
- I don't know, I'm just
lookin' at you actin' like
you malfunctionin' again.
- Ha!
- You malfunction at
every video that we do.
When we roll-a-sheep.
Nah!
Yeah.
Uu-oo.
(laughing)
And then she do that little.
(laughing)
- I was so proud of myself.
- Because I didn't say, oh baby.
- Yeah, no.
- It's okay, you'd be on a
history of chrono-la-evry-vid.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I'm not tryin' to cry.
(laughing)
Yeah!
(rock music)
- Come on.
(laughing)
My family instilled in me
to just love everyone and.
(record scratching)
- Let me just say something real quick.
If I'm being real, I
hesitate a lot talking
about interracial
relationships on our channel
'cause I never want it
to look like I'm talking
about my parents in a bad light.
I want you guys to understand
that it's like a real issue
that goes on.
The way that they grew
up was very traditional
and it was just one way,
and so when you are taught
one thing for your whole life
since you're born till you're
whatever age years old,
it's hard to be open-minded
until someone breaks that.
I don't want to seem like my
parents are the bad people
because that's definitely not it.
- No, I definitely agree.
I would say when it
comes to black families,
in one end of the spectrum you have,
hey we don't love ourselves,
we don't love our own people
so we outsource to other people.
You know, especially in
the entertainment industry
where you see a successful
guy and it's like,
oh he's just gonna end
up with a white girl
or someone else, but not a black woman.
Or vice versa.
And you know, there's
like a crowd that's like,
dang, we don't love
each other as ourselves
and even though I'm with a Asian woman,
I do feel like that same exact
way in the sense of like,
you know, I still love
my people in general,
I just happened to fall in
love with a Asian woman.
So, I do get happy when I do
see beautiful black families
comin' together and doin'
somethin' very very special.
You know, I wanna give a shout
out to Beleaf in Fatherhood.
This is a beautiful family,
and I love them so much.
- Oh yeah, yeah.
- Just to see how wonderful
and special that family is.
I'm just nit-picking people
that you guys can like,
identify off the top.
And you guys also know the
stigmatism that we get,
because I feel like, we feel the need
that we have to explain
ourselves as to why
we feel the way that we do every time.
- And I have a question for you
that I want an honest answer with.
It's a question I never
really thought about.
- 'Bout to hit me hard.
- But it's a really honest question,
and if you tell me the truth
and it hurts, I'll be okay.
Do you ever feel insecure
that there may be other people
that judge you for not
being with a black woman?
- Oh, yeah yeah.
There's a lot of people
out there like that,
but I mean, it's gonna sound hard but
I don't really care what they think.
- Oh, like it doesn't get to you?
- No, I mean.
- Really?
- That's their opinion,
but like, I'm with you,
like I said, 'cause I
love you and it's not
because of a Asian thing.
The Asian thing is somethin'
that's really fun to explore.
- Yeah.
- You know, that's like added on,
but I love you, Glory, as the person--
- Ah!
We have this thing where he
doesn't say my name a lot,
he calls me babe, so when he says my name
it's like music to my ears.
Come on, say it one more
time for the people.
(lounge music)
- Omele-de-froo-mage.
(laughing)
- Whoa!
That was hot!
- I think I said omelet with cheese please
(laughing)
- Dang, I gotta learn some
more languages more often.
(beep)
To answer her question though,
no I'm not embarrassed,
I know there's a lot of,
I get a lot of message--
Y'all be surprised the
kind of messages I get.
- You never tell me that.
What kind of messages you be gettin'?
People hatin' on you?
- I do get a lot of hate messages.
(record scratching)
Well, I don't wanna say a lot.
I focus on the negative a lot.
- No, he's glass half empty type of guy,
I'm glass half full.
- No, I'm a, hey there's a glass
and there's somethin' in it.
(laughing)
(beep)
But no, you can see it in the comments,
especially when you got your hair braided?
Man, all of Black History
Month I got dragged
through the mud, man.
- That's not true.
- I got dragged through the mud, yo.
- More than usual but not really.
I would say there was more support.
People that encouraged--
- No, there was definitely more support,
but there was definitely more than usual
that we encountered.
- Yeah, more than usual for sure.
- That people were really
throwin' darts at my face.
(record scratching)
(laughing)
- I just imagined a picture
of your head on a wall with.
- [Slice] And they got the gap.
- [Rice] Like 100 is right here?
- 100 in my gap?
Dang, man.
But, yo, God gave me Glory, so like,
I don't care what anybody
say, this is who I'm with.
That's who God gave me,
so if you mad who I'm with
then you need to talk to God.
(laughing)
And if you ain't familiar with God,
just call out to Him, and
he'll reveal Hisself someway
or another, and He'll let you know,
this is why I did this for Matt.
(beep)
- If the question was
reversed, I am very proud
to be with Matt in every
way, shape and form.
No, but I don't know
why I get such a rush,
like when we go to Korean populated areas,
I feel so proud.
I'm like, look at me, yeah!
Because we got a lot of
questions from people like,
do you get a lot of stares in public?
I think in the beginning
we were so oblivious to it
that we didn't realize, but I think we do,
especially in, where there's
a lot of Korean people.
- You know what's crazy,
it's like blatantly obvious,
'cause like, we walked into a food court
and everybody's eatin'.
As soon as we walk through the door,
everyone is like.
(eerily dramatic music)
(laughing)
- And it's not 'cause
they knew who we were.
- No.
Interracial.
(laughing)
Yo, I hate being serious, man,
I am not a serious person.
When we get in arguments I be laughin'.
- It's so annoying, we can't
even look at each other
'cause we just smile.
I hate it, I hate it.
- I know, man.
So I am talkin' serious
to the Ninjas, man,
it's like crazy.
- We're gonna bring you more
serious videos, yeah, uh-huh.
- Man, the Ninjas wanna laugh, man.
The Ninjas wanna laugh.
What I will say is this,
if you wanna be in an
interracial relationship,
like that's your thing,
you just like, man,
I just want experience
something different, man,
just really dig deep inside
and ask yourself why?
Now, I know there might be
people out there be like,
why's he gotta be so complex?
Yo, because love can be that way, man.
(record scratching)
- Who are you?
- A broken heart hurts, it really does,
and I'm really big on
people feelin' special
and bein' with someone
that they're in love with.
Like, that is the biggest thing
and so many people out
there that don't know
what love feels like, and
once you get a glimpse
or a feelin' of what love is,
you just wanna be engulfed in it.
When you understand that feeling of love,
especially what God
gives you, it's amazing.
And then when you get it reciprocated
from a person that you're interested in
it feels extra amazing,
and you wanna do everything
that you can to hold onto it,
and then grasp it, and just make sure
that you're the best person that it is,
because you wanna make sure
that they feel the love
that you're gettin' back.
You wanna do all of these things,
so that's why I'm just
beatin' it into your head!
That you must must must must!
Find it, man.
(beep)
- I think overall we're just saying like,
you're gonna be missin'
out on a lot if you're
just goin' after someone
just because of their race.
And then also,
when it comes to interracial
dating within families
that don't approve of that other race?
You have to be ready to be
patient because it might take
a long time for your
family to come around.
But, whatever is meant to be will be.
- And not all the times
they will come around,
so then you need to make
that conscious decision.
Do I really love this person?
What do they mean to me?
And move forward that way.
