I think he's from New York originally, but he literally lives in China and gets paid money to teach Chinese kids how to ski.
A lot of the Chinese kids are just gymnasts and they've put skis on their feet and say, OK, now go go flip that jump.
And he teaches them how to be that person.
So, like, it's not like they have, you know, natural born skiing talent in China that they have readily available to them.
So they have to look out.
They have to outsource, unfortunately, to Chinese Americans.
I think that's what we're seeing here.
And I agree.
Like, dude, if you're going to choose that, even though you have like American Californian accent, you're going to choose to be Chinese.
Like, I mean, it's a pivotal point in history to doing that.
Dude, I've also struggled with this myself because I was born outside the United States and became an American as well.
But along with what Elad is saying, if you become an American, you have to learn a lot more about the country.
You have to learn a lot about how the system works, who did what when, basic history stuff that you need to know in order to properly represent America as an American, I would say.
and i've done all that stuff because you've had because i had to do that i feel like it made me much more i have much more affinity for america and i understand why america does these things and why america works this way and to be fair we used to have civics classes which we taught in this country and we stopped that stuff and that and when we stopped that stuff we started to see way more people be like disenfranchised feeling disillusioned with him with the country feeling like i don't really have anything to do with it so i think maybe it doesn't necessarily mean like we're more or less american than another person but it does mean that like
We care about this idea, which America is.
America is an idea and has always been an idea of other people from other backgrounds coming to bring forth the idea that all men are created equal under God.
It's a culture, I think, as well.
When I say idea, I mean it's a culture because it's shared beliefs.
It's shared, like, fundamental morals.
It's also people's home.
