The assumptions by asians in asia is that asian-americans don't know how to speak their mother-tongue.
Though you can hear their americanized accents, I Thought it would be cool to show this side of asian-americans you rarely see lol! :P
I hope you enjoy it!
PS. I didn't include asian-americans who are big in asia such as Coco Lee, Leehom Wang or Ailee because they are working in asia, you can hear multiple interviews of them speaking in their mother-tongue.

Actually Daniel Dae Kim’s Korean was so bad that it became a huge meme in Korea like ten years ago lol
-
Can tell that English is actually their first language, as they mostly speak their so called native tongue with quite a funny accent
-
For the thumbnail, why is Lucy Liu wearing barely any clothes while Daniel Dae Kim and Harry Shum Jr. are fully clothed?
-
as a kid, if your parents spoke ill of your teacher right in front of them, using their native tongue, you were supposed to translate it with opposite meaning. kids with foreign parents knew how to handle the situation pretty well at a young age. XD
-
I’m impressed With Lucy’s mother tongue. Quite accurate pronunciation.
-
Their native language is English. You mean they are speaking (or trying to speak) their ancestral language.
-
daniel dae kim is me when i try to speak korean
-
harry shum's cantonese is really good! I'm surrounded by people who are cantonese speakers a lot and i can say his accent is really very clean, i suppose it might be because of his parents and his upbringing a lot.
-
Harry Shum Jr just got instantly hotter
-
aww Steven is adorable
-
Lucy Liu’s mandarin is good. I find it interesting that she is a typical example to show that appreciation of beauty can be very different for people of different countries, since most Chinese probably won’t say she is beautiful or sexy at first sight. Personally I like her because of her great acting skill and personality.
-
Lucy liu is gorgeous i can't even explain😍
-
Never heard Lucy Liu speaking Mandarin before. Wow!
-
christopher Sean's Japanese has a very strong American accent.
-
I love that Steven simultaneously switches between Korean and English to his son ♥️ This is how you don't let your culture and language die. You pass it on. As a Filipino-American... I'm heartbroken my elders didn't do that for me... I can pick up on some Tagalog but never enough to fully translate sentences.
-
Steven speaking Korean is just satisfying to my ears, tbh. 👍🏻✨
-
As a Japanese speaker, calling granddad “Gigi” is little weird lol
-
I've always been a fan of Harry Shum Jnr but this makes me even happier.
-
Many Koreans have said that Daniel's Korean accent was mocked in South Korea, but his Korean is not so bad given that he was born and bred in the States. I think that what people laugh at a different accent is the bigger problem than someone's "awkward" pronunciation.

lucy liu’s mandarin accent sounds good:)I'm a native Chinese so i can tell
