You seem like any other American to me who loves guitar and music.

One of my favourite videos on your channel. You're a great storyteller. I'd love to see more stories on your channel. Sometimes I click on your video even if it's not a topic I'm interested in (I'm not a guitarist) cause I think "let's try it, maybe Mike included some cool stories" haha ;D Sooo lovely you've decided to read all those comments. Would be cool if you saw this one as well. Thanks for your work, I enjoy it <3

I have nothing but respect for Asian culture I devoted my lifetime to studying Traditional Chinese medicine. However everyone gets teased and bullied in school. I’m glad you rose above and found success

Resonated with a lot of people, clearly. Imagine extrapolating your story from the guitarist community to the World. Hopefully you'll get a chuckle when you read & see one of my many nicknames as a kid. Great motivational share. ✌️🎶

A writer for Rolling Stone once called me a "small-eyed, Midwestern corn-fed kid." More to it than that, but it wasn't flattering in the bigger picture. I think most younger people get some flak from someone at some point, and the younger you are the more impressionable it can be. But we all grow up and go onward.

I'm surprised you didn't get into Van Halen straight away upon all that teasing Why? Because Eddie and Alex are half asian. I didn't know that they were until 20 years or so ago (I was a kid when they were popular).

That's lame. I've never even noticed or considered you might be Asian... and my own wife is Asian! Lol Giving a shout at ya from Eagan, maybe I'll run into you at a show one of these days - keep rocking my friend!

This is pretty wild, almost 400 comments on my newest video overnight. I plan on reading every single one of them later tonight because (besides the first few shown, hehe) they are full of tales from other people who experienced a similar story. Thanks to everyone for sharing your perspectives. <3
