Modern Family Globalization-cultural identity

¿Quién es el hombre más hermoso de esta casa? Ay, perdón. ¿Quién es el otro hombre más hermoso de esta casa? I'm telling you how handsome you are. Oh, well next time tell me in English so I don't miss it. You're forgetting all your Spanish. You never practice. Perdóname, mami. Soy embarazada. You just told me that you're pregnant. We're just wondering, you know, why did you say that? Because I'm gay. But why do you think you're gay, sweetie? We're learning about it in school. Oh. My friend Aldo's parents are Italian, so he's Italian. And you and daddy are gay, so I'm gay. Oh. First of all, adorable. But that's not how it works. When Aldo's talking about him being Italian, he's talking about his heritage. Yeah, and that's a totally different thing than being gay. See, heritage is, uh, well, it's something that you're born with. And, oh my God, what's wrong with me? And with respect to your heritage, you're not gay. You're Vietnamese. What's that? Well, Vietnam is a beautiful country, and it's near China. Uh, it's known for, uh, it's farms with all of the, uh... Water buffalo. And the bikes. Lily, there are bikes everywhere. Oh, there are so many bikes. So many bikes. People are biking around, and they're wearing hats. They have these beautiful sun hats. Can I go and play now? Please, go. Yes. Good job. Love for you, sweetie. Is that all you know about her culture? No, I mean, we're saving some of the things until she gets older to tell her about. I want to save the loofahs and the tulips. No wonder she has so many questions. She doesn't know who she is. I guess we kind of dropped the ball. You know what? Forget the pretty nails. We are all going to a Vietnamese restaurant, and we're going to give her a taste of her culture. Which one is the best restaurant around here? There's little, um... You know nothing. I look in the jank. Mmm, so good. I want a cheeseburger. This is a special soup called pho. You told me not to say that word. It is delicious. This is the food of your people. Can I get you anything else? Actually, we're just trying to teach our daughter about your country. And as I'm saying that, I'm hoping you're from Vietnam. I was born there. So was Lily. Oh, it's a beautiful country. My family still lives there. I hate Vietnam. Lily, honey, we don't hate. I hate Vietnam. Hey, um, we need just a second. That was rude. I want to go home. No, it's important that you celebrate the culture of your ancestors. You are Vietnamese. No, I'm not. I'm gay. I'm gay. Honey, no, you're not gay. You are just confused. Oh, my God, what is wrong with me? It's like I'm... Oh, please, we have tons of lesbian friends. Bobby, you were referencing our friends and not us. I guess we're gay. We should just go. No, nobody's going anywhere until she finishes the whole soup. No, Gloria, it's fine. No, no, no, it's not fine. That's the problem with this country. Nobody cares where they come from. They just want cheeseburgers and bread school, and they have forgotten about Colombia. Okay. I can't help but feel that maybe you're bringing something to the table that's possibly not at all about Lily. I think you're right. It's just that I feel like I'm losing my children to America. They're just going to grow up and become boring old white people. Most of our friends are white, actually. Okay, can everybody just calm down and go back to their own conversations? Thank you. Hey. Hey, what's going on with you? Honey has forgotten most of his Spanish, and yo, I'm sure he's not even going to learn any. This is silly, but I just don't like feeling like I'm so different from the rest of my family. Oh, honey, it feels so lonely here. Just a second, Lily. Is that why you want to be gay, to be more like your daddies? Oh, honey, no, the three of us are a family, even though we come from different places. You were born in Vietnam, and I grew up in a city, and even though he never talks about it, your daddy grew up on a farm. The point is that we're a family because we love each other. Okay. You know what? You just caused a scene in the restaurant, and you can't get any more like your daddies than that. Maybe I'll just take Manny and Jo to Colombia this summer. I think that's a great idea. I really think that keeping in touch with their heritage only enriches our culture. Absolutely. I think we would all be better off if people would go back to where they came from. Fine. I'll pull the car around. Yes.
