 Konichiwa Konichiwa yo is the biggest streamer in the world racist towards Asians or is everybody just overreacting to a bad Joke, what do you think one? Bro, and I come back come back come back Why you got a Argentina, bro? Konichiwa Konichiwa Konichiwa, Argentina No Konichiwa Man, oh man at first it looked like it could have had a potential to be you know a hilarious Interaction, maybe they could learn from each other Maybe the Chinese guy could teach him to say ni how which is the equivalent of Konichiwa Because he thought it was Japanese instead of Chinese, but then it just turned into bang bang bang Man, this is dude You know what's so funny man because we have rush hour movies, which are like the greatest pairing between a Fawb and a black guy right and that makes billions of dollars and everybody loves it But then the interaction can so easily go downside, but you know literally this I thought this was a scene out of rush hour I was like all right guys I got no and had all the elements the elements were there for this Hi a banger of a scene, but then it ended up like Chris Tucker like clowning on Jackie instead of seeing him as an equal It's like damn man. So this ain't rush hour. So there's different sides to the reaction, right? There's a debate going on and there's three main perspectives the three main perspectives of what's going on is a One dang he did the fake Chinese accent. Why is disrespect and racism towards Asians always so normalized I'm sick of this and then there's another perspective that's like, ah, it was a bad joke. He's a hype kid He didn't mean it like that. It's not the worst thing Let's move on and then the third perspective is actually a lot of white people saying dude You know if I speed was a white guy and he did the same thing He would get canceled five times quicker and Andrew the truth is there is a shred or more than a shred of truth In every single one of those statements. They're not mutually exclusive for me Andrew Obviously, I don't fit in the I show speeds demographic. I don't even watch streamers. However, I will say this I had seen clips of his stuff before he's a talented kid. He got like 12 out of 10 charisma But I was disappointed in his attitudes or maybe dismissiveness or lack of like full respect Towards Asian cultures. I honestly was yeah for me It's clear that he is more into at least anime culture, right? So that's why he knows can eat you while because he does watch anime We know this but I don't think he knows as much about Chinese culture my thing for him would be like hey listen and he did make an apology video which will play at the end of Video, but I think it's like if you want to be cultured and you want to be wild and meet and all these different types of people At least learn some real Chinese phrases man. Honestly, not that many people would have been mad if he just said konichi Wow, oh you Chinese knee house a shape knee house a shape even though She wouldn't even have fully made sense in the context by saying thank you people would still be like oh man You know like two three four words for my culture. You're good. Yeah, you're showing me respect You know that two words Obviously guys, I don't want to look at ISO speed like he's like Barack Obama Like he's supposed to be the most thoughtful kid that never makes mistakes, right? He's known as one of the most wildest ratchetist streamers and that's why he's so popular, right? Yeah, and I don't think he's a hateful malicious kid But I'm just saying like are we really picking apart his words like he's supposed to not make mistakes I'm glad that his fan base came out and said yo, you know what? I'm an Asian fan of yours and you you did us wrong so he came out and apologized Maybe you won't make that mistake next time. But anyways guys, let's run his apology video to in all fairness Hey guys, it's a clip going around words people is saying I'm being racist to Asian guy You know and I just wanted to say some things, you know, I wasn't being racist to him. I promise you, you know I seen him. I thought he was uh, you know when I see I thought he was Japanese So I say Konichi I watch a lot of anime. I said Konichi Yua when I thought he was Chinese You know, I tried to say a nickname that they call me in Chinese I literally was just talking to a Chinese person earlier today and four three three And they said they love me and I love Chinese people. So I try to say John Kong like tongue Kong like this It's a nickname that they call me in China China. I promise you, you know, and and if it came off as racist I promise you I did not mean it that way, you know, I got drilling pushing I'm making content live streaming. I'm at the WarCup watch over now to play drilling pushing I seen him with a Argentina shirt, you know, I just wanted to say what's up to him, you know You know, I love other races, you know, I really did I think the apology to be honest is like 7.5 out of 10 I consider it valid, you know, I don't think I don't think he has a PR handler But I think they would be pretty happy with it I mean the the Zhong Kong thing like definitely a little bit of cap right there to be honest I don't really think he was trying to say what's your Zhong Kong? I don't think he was trying to say that But then what was he expecting the Chinese guy to be like, oh, yeah I think the main thing that I took away from him is like yo I've been in that situation where the adrenaline is running and you're just trying to come up with some impromptu Like I said, UCB second city. It's almost like an impromptu sketch thing. You're on stage But it's the world stage. It's the streaming stage and you might pop off and Andrew not all jokes are a home run Sometimes you swing and you miss but it just so happened when you swing and you miss and it's a racial joke in 2022 It can go downside for you are based off the reaction on the internet. Hey, you know what? I don't think he's a bad kid I mean, I would overall accept the apology one thing. I don't like about people's apologies though against Asians They always say I love Asians. I love Chinese people. I love them You don't love them. I'm not saying you hate them, but you don't love them Don't just say that that's super. What's the word? Is that gaslighting? No, that's patronizing I don't know whatever word people want to use nowadays. That's just not true So I think that that's the part where people lose me in their apology. Just be like, yo, I made a mistake My bad. I've made jokes in the past Before YouTube like on stage when we were performing and doing stand-out. I'm gonna miss I made jokes that where's a swing and a miss, you know, and I was like, dang Yeah, you know, I learned from that, you know So I think people can learn but overall you guys let me know in the comments down below what you think about his apology Listen, he is a streamer. That makes millions of dollars a year. He's his net worth is like 10 million So of course people who make this much money and have this many fans around the world I do think they should be held to a stand-out I don't think you can apply the same amount of scrutiny to him as a junior at your like local public high school Like this is somebody who you know, obviously wheels a lot more influence power money, etc. Just really short and just be like, yo He's a wild dude like he does try sort of in a weird way But it kind of comes off as condescending three two one I mean Andrew there are some other clips to provide context He does try to be like cultured in a global way But it also does come across as really ignorant as we will see in the next two videos that we're about to play on the screen One go this is speed in Qatar interrupting a Brazilian TV or web broadcast by being a pro Portugal fan I Obviously Andrew clearly Brazilians have a very different reaction to Speed didn't like Chinese guy. The Chinese guy was like, haha, you're crazy Kind of like it kind of don't like it. This guy's like fight me fight me fight me fight me Well, the Chinese guy was like afterwards. He's like, oh, yeah, man black people have a lot of energy That's probably what he's thinking. All right. So, um, here's another clip No English He's Indian Oh Yo, Andrew, are you surprised that speed knew that Punjabi MC song obviously that Jay-Z did a remix beware the boys guys Shout out to that song really really good. I guess I have a question for everybody out there What does it mean when people nowadays make a half-ass cultural effort like it's half-ass like they know Something but they blurt it out in kind of a rude way or a hype way So it kind of comes off as more condescending like I said, I don't think really any of this was fueled by hate So he's not a bad kid, of course But like it's it's just super hype and it's super in your face So so he's trying to do the Punjabi MC It's like, you know, you're not like he's kind of trying but he's not I don't know you guys Let me know in the comments down below what you think yeah I think that it's crazy because in 2022 Everything's gonna like attract the culture wars basically all the underlying discussions white versus black black versus white Woke versus conservative conservative versus unwoke versus libertarian They're going to like make its way sneakily into the anything You know what I mean like Andrew speed was streaming with a guy from mainland China And somehow it's still devolved into a white versus black war in the Twitter section So I mean what what kind of commentary is that on the macro state of like American discourse or is that just a commentary on Twitter? Discourse or or internet discourse more so than it is the larger landscape Listen to close it off. The truth is more and more people are going to be exposed to different cultures And they'll know a few words of that language They'll know a few dishes But I think what you have to look at is the intent and the usage now because a lot of people are gonna know Nihao a lot of people know Konichiwa a lot of people know Anya say, oh or something like that, you know But I'm saying It's not always about just them knowing it. It's also the respect and the usage behind it So anyways guys, we're gonna end it off right there That is us reacting try to keep it civil in the comment section guys I know like I said, you know, it's funny Andrew these things they cost such a fervor on the internet But mainstream media will not touch this because mainstream media tends to talk about mainstream things and this is very internety But most internety people have twitch discord Twitter, you know, and we are not mainstream media David We are not the mainstream Media like I said guys a lot of extreme reactions But you know, we tend to be pretty balanced in our opinion and like we said, it's just a 17 year old acting crazy But at the course, you know, there is stuff you could take away from it You could take stuff away from the comments as well Let us know what you think in the comment section below like subscribe turn on your notifications until next time we the hot Pop boys we out peace
