Viral Sketch by Alba Chen Sparks Conversation on Dual Identity and Microaggressions
A recent viral video by content creator Alba Chen, known as @albachnn, has sparked discussions online regarding cultural identity and the challenges faced by individuals of dual heritage. The sketch, uploaded on October 6, 2025, humorously depicts a common scenario where Chen, who is Chinese-Spanish, is repeatedly asked about her origins despite asserting her Spanish nationality. In the video, Chen portrays two characters: a persistent questioner and herself. The questioner, initially polite, becomes increasingly insistent on knowing where Chen's parents were born, implying that her appearance dictates her true origin. Chen's portrayal of a calm, then exasperated, response has resonated with many viewers. The video, titled "Cosas que pasan siendo chinaespañola" (Things that happen being Chinese-Spanish), highlights the subtle microaggressions and assumptions people of mixed backgrounds often encounter. It has garnered over 600,000 views, 60,000 likes, and nearly 1,600 comments, indicating its broad appeal and the relevance of its underlying message about belonging and identity.
