 This angry tourist is going viral for his crazy rant at a restaurant in Singapore. I guess the question is what were people supposed to do and also why is he so angry? Yeah this sparked such a wide range of opinions from east to west. We're talking about the eastern world internet versus the western world internet. Anyway let's just run the clip. Every family member you got from here to China because I own China too and tell him to back up. Long story short Andrew this guy is clearly mad that he could not get his Russian food with a high non-twisted Shashlik restaurant. They closed the kitchen at 9 p.m. he came in at 9 20 they tried to explain to him that sorry sir there's nothing we can do with kitchen clothes and he bugs out and he kind of leans into like almost psychopathic sort of like racist territory. Yeah I mean he was saying a lot of wild stuff. He said I will close your establishment down. I will f every member of your family all the way back to China. Also I own China too and I also own the Singapore police force. He was just saying all types of crazy stuff. I guess I'm starting to wonder like does he actually really think he has some power or position and who is he and what happened to him afterwards. Did the police come find him and question him. I don't know but David I will say this the response from Asians in the west like Asian Americans is quite different than the response of Asians in Singapore at least on the internet but we're going to go through it so please hit that like button check out other episodes of the hot pot boys. Yeah I mean I would say the reaction from the Asian Americans was like way more wanting to be violent right or at least respond to aggression with aggression. Obviously the response on the even on internet circles in the east was a lot more docile withheld possibly you know just trying to be very nonviolent and this sparked a huge discussion about whether Asian guys need to stand up more for themselves. Are they doing it the right way. What are the pros and cons of our culture and our approach to high energy conflict situations like this. So anyway let's get into the comments section. This guy said you know this white dude just threatened to rape his lineage like we need some uncles to take care of this dude immediately. Yeah so I guess my thing is that he's talking to restaurant staff. First of all this guy's got to be drunk like crazy drunk or he's like really wildly disturbed. Some people said that he possibly forgot his medicine when you know how like some people forget to pack their medicine when they go abroad or something like that but they have you know some some sort of anger issues some sort of pH imbalance. Yeah I mean he didn't get violent obviously so that's a good thing but he definitely sounded like he was going to but I could see why people want to punch this guy but I will say this for a restaurant person to punch him in Singapore that's they know Singaporeans know if you live and work there that's going to complicate things that's like legally not necessarily a good idea unless that person is attacking you. Well Singapore in particular is a very very strict country and like we said as violent as this guy's tone was it's not like he pushed any of the restaurant staff in the chest or anything like that. Right right there was no physical altercations as far as what we know from this video. But to totally understand the sentiment somebody said y'all got to defend yourself in this type of situations especially in your homeland you got to put this man down and shut him up like you've basically you know you can't take the high road or else these like white guys are going to keep coming to Singapore or whatever Asian city insert here and like act like they run the place. Yeah trust me there are parts of Singapore that if he acted like this I do think that someone is possibly fighting him you know but maybe not at this restaurant this is a high end probably expatriate expat restaurant you know it's like serving a certain type of Russian food with a Chinese twist so of course it's like very fancy-smancy so no I highly doubt that anything super crazy is going to happen. Yeah resident orchard road which is like a very very high tourist zone. Very expensive. Like you said it's probably very expensive this is not just like a was an a beng restaurant in the HDB zone. Right right right. Somebody said Singapore's worships white people above anything else that's why they're bending over and taking the hate. Do you think there's any truth to this because Singapore was a former British colony you know so you know there's some aspect of like you know maybe white people are there people who look like me used to run this place like 60 years ago. Yeah David I feel like you know we've spent some time in the British colonies like Hong Kong Singapore and Malaysia before and I must say I always felt like I thought Singapore handled the white people better like I thought white people in general are in check more in Singapore than Hong Kong yes this happened but I would say generally that was my vibe because you know why Andrew they most famously caned an American kid who was egging cars and I remember even Bill Clinton back then was like man I hope you guys don't cane him and the guy was just like we don't care yeah yeah no I feel like Singapore if this guy would have crossed the line and I'm assuming he doesn't have some super crazy connections to the government uh if he crossed the line I do think he's totally getting arrested and maybe beat down somebody said imagine going to another country and being this entitled and rude I mean what do you think do you think this is an American thing other people were saying dude this is just like mostly white people who just go abroad and whether it was a colony or not they just feel like they run everything and that's British people that's French people but obviously you know the Americans they tend to be the most brash about it because America you know for the longest time has been the number one most powerful country in the world as for a lot of modern history yeah I would say uh so I look like the woman that was next to him might have been Asian it makes sense that he was with Asian people in Asia no I think that she was a worker I think he was traveling alone oh oh this guy was alone yeah man let's do this crazy he also said I own China which I've like never even heard before I don't even think Donald Trump has said that somebody said that this is not just unique to white people from America but just Americans abroad in general saying like I run this whole thing mentality but I feel like Asian Americans would less likely say this let's be honest guys like I'm not saying some Asian Americans don't act wild overseas I'm saying I've seen it before and act cocky but I'm saying they wouldn't say something like I own this country this is mine and I'm American right right right this dude was like leaning into that stereotype of like mentally colonial dominant American at a 10 out of 10 level he did need to get smacked man I think when he threatened to f everybody's family member like that was a crazy statement even though it does sound kind of almost like Asian to say that you know how like they say that in Cantonese right when they said like deal a low mole humgatan like yeah right like f your whole family for generations yeah I guess maybe he was true I don't know yeah that's weird man somebody said Asians just ask yourself if a white guy was talking about black like guy like this or in a black restaurant do you think the white guy would still be standing and somebody said facts this is why black culture is so strong they don't let anybody disrespect them I mean for sure he's not going into Harlem the BK or like Atlanta or like Watts and like doing this at like a Roscoe's there's like zero percent there's negative one thousand percent chances doing that but we have seen videos of white dudes saying crazy things to to black people and getting punched I've seen it happen but there are like a different type of white person but what I'm saying is I wouldn't like just compare I don't like comparing dynamics from Asia to America and I say this about other things so I have to stay consistent now right just because in America people should act differently I think in Singapore I have to say by Singaporean culture and how the country runs their response was kind of I guess made sense to me somebody said you know it just varies per group you can't say that all black people would punch this guy in the face and you can't say that all Asians would stand down and be super docile like the people in the video there is a distribution per group like everybody's variable right like person to person even people within a family have different life experiences and different inborn personalities somebody said yeah but I always see people say oh the right Asians the right Asians need to step up there isn't enough percentage of the right Asians that would stand up to a guy like this what do you think yeah but I mean Singapore is definitely not like that I'm saying even if he did this in an Asian neighborhood like out in America like if he did this in flushing I think maybe the response is a little different too I'm not saying he's getting a full-on beatdown but I think that there is there is a different response right and who's to say that a full-on like jumping him would be the right response yeah that would not be a fully he wasn't getting physical yet there's definitely times in things I've seen even in Koreatown that I thought you know but yeah I understand I totally understand why all these comments they under from Asian Americans in the western like force only understands force barbarians only understand barbaric things it's true right to some extent it's super triggering a super triggering for Asian Americans because we're like god this stuff happens in Asia too it happens to the guys a lot too I got a personal anecdote about this just happened yesterday anyway we're gonna get into that later somebody said unpopular opinion most Asians are too soft to fight back and all the racists know that and use it to their advantage thus perpetuating a never-ending cycle of people wanting to try to pick on us at every chance they get yeah this is where I think that the police need to step in and I'm not saying the police need to even arrest him but I think they should find him and question him about this at least just to show that the police care about this and are going to discipline this guy in some level at least if not discipline at least scare him out of acting out the next time you know it's quite possible too we don't have the follow-up in terms of like what exactly happened he at least has a strike on his record somebody said uh he will not even be able to talk again or possibly ever be able to walk again if he did this in Thailand because Thailand was never colonized and a lot of people in Thailand they get busy they know Muay Thai it's a country where they are ready to throw elbows and knees on foreigners yeah I mean again I think it depends I think everybody would like to jump to conclusions to be like oh if he did that around me and are you saying rod tangs just gonna come through yeah like if he gets violent it's different but I'm just saying he was yelling but yeah it is true there's a higher percentage likelihood guys we're talking about we're talking about a nice restaurant on Orchard Road this is a very expensive restaurant somebody said man he's messing with the wrong side of Asia this guy's in Southeast Asia and somebody said no listen let me tell you that Singapore is a Chinese country in Southeast Asia it's not like the rest of Southeast Asia and this sort of led Andrew to the spicy tea talk right somebody said East Asian dudes this is a Southeast Asian guy East Asian dudes are too soft you need to stand up for yourselves otherwise people walk all over you people would never treat tough looking Southeast Asians like this how true or untrue is this it's definitely true but I mean like if you're like it's not like night and day but yes people are less likely to I mean if you got tattoos on and everybody sees the tattoos they kind of think something different things about you come on you might you're Asian gangster and things like that man we all know this is true come on guys what are we talking about this is like the obvious all right let's move on to the comments from the Singaporean reddit Andrew somebody said small dog bark a lot big dog keep quiet this one small dog uh this was the top comment it's a little bit of a deflection but also an honest peer into the the East Asian mind right right because he's looking he's saying that this guy yelling actually isn't going to do anything while the big dogs usually just sit back quietly it's kind of like saying real gangsters move in silence you know that kind of thing like real gangsters don't talk a lot so how true is this and even though Asian Americans would see this as oh you're just using this as an excuse to not get busy on a dude who's disrespecting you yeah I think the only difference is because like Singapore is not known to be a violent country they're super well they're super anti violent they have a lot of laws so I guess that's why uh I could see Asian Americans disagreeing with this somebody said let's deport this effort and someone said how about we deport all races and then someone said yeah but then some parts be very empty country that's funny somebody said man I hate this egg-looking Ang Mo Ang Mo is uh this is slang for like this white guy and someone said yeah man he's just missing the goofy mustache otherwise he passed for Dr. Robotnik and somebody said a lot of upper-class Singaporeans have colonial mentality it's the same for our government and somebody said yeah are you sure about that some upper-class folks will treat this fella and his behavior as dirt and even beneath their station and somebody said whether people are scared of this guy and view this Ang Mo or white guy above them or their rich Singaporeans and they view this Ang Mo as like lower class in them and not worth dealing with this guy's not gonna get dealt with either way so how much of it is the reasoning versus how much is it the outcome I mean that's a good question right I don't know yeah what do you think that that is interesting let us know in the comments down below what you think somebody said he can't do this back home he would get shot I mean obviously this is the Singaporean stereotype of what would happen to him in America I wouldn't get shot guys come on let's be honest man um but yeah obviously there's a more likelihood that somebody's gonna step up and confront him in a way that he's probably uncomfortable with somebody said why so many angry white people Leila and this thing turned into a discussion of how potentially because white people globally have fading dominance even though they've had utter dominance for 100 200 300 years whatever you want to say it is that they're almost like acting up more to preserve that dominance yeah I mean think about if you're like a racist white individual and all you hear on the news of the past like six seven ten years is China's coming up China's coming up oh Singapore greatest place to move to oh Singapore great city oh like South Korean entertainment oh this this oh Japanese food everybody loves Japanese food oh Vietnamese food is great now too oh Thailand everybody wants to go to Thailand and then you're just thinking but I was like wait how'd you find yourself in Singapore then you know yeah like maybe he's here by mistake maybe someone forced him to go or something like that but I don't know whatever he was off his meds or he was drunk or he's just on some different type of game but man there was some speculation that in the west whether it's Canada or America this guy's like low tier low value loser so he's going to Asia to feel like a god and he's going over there and obviously this incident where he showed up at the restaurant 20 minutes late and they're like not opening it for him sort of shook his sense of being a god yeah I think he's I think he's mentally ill though not not as an excuse I just think that that is true yeah I think he probably was off his meds for sure anyway Andrew let's get into the takeaways like we said very different reactions from the western Asians very different reactions from the eastern Asians I mean what is the truth man is he doing this at a latin restaurant or is it the proof because he thinks Asians are like docile little we lobby characters yeah there's definitely some race elements involved where if he's looking at a latin guy saying this I think he feels something differently I think he's not he's not going to do that I don't think if there's like an African server that he's saying this to I don't think he's saying the same thing either um I do think of course this does go back to Asian seeming week but I also I also want to say like man Singapore it's just not the same as America so I don't want to put those standards on Singapore if he was doing this at like a Chinese restaurant in New York City or a Singaporean restaurant even in America Singaporean restaurant in in New York or LA I think that yeah the response would have to be a little bit more like forceful against him but I think in Singapore to be honest I can't tell Singaporeans to be like oh get up and like fight everybody and do something that's so so against your guys's culture you know right so far outside of like what a normal response would be in that country he didn't get violent yet and he didn't really look like he was but he did like say violent things right but I guess once you start that physical altercation especially in Singapore you know like they're very strict but let's just say he did this at a nasi lemak spot near a hdb and like deep in the Singapore suburbs somebody might be punching my face even if he did this at one of the hawker stalls you know like late at night when there's a lot of you know more blue collar guys hanging out there I think people are stepping up to him and at least being like yo buddy yo buddy what are you doing buddy or that's more Indian yeah I mean you know the other day Andrew we were at the basketball court and you know how like at the indoor courts sometimes balls are floating around somebody was shooting around with our ball some like white frat guys I believe from USC and uh they were like a part of an investment banker group or something like that and I remember I was like hey man uh that's my basketball I'm leaving now can I get it back and the guy gave me like a ton of attitude I don't know if he thought I was lying that that was my basketball or something like that and I just remember thinking in my head obviously there's probably no other type of person that he's going to give that attitude to obviously if I was black or Latino for sure not right yeah and um this is just an indication I think of like the same thing that everybody from the Asian American internet was seeing and that's why so many guys were commenting on it right yeah I mean I think instead of focusing on what Singaporeans should have done yeah it is true that you need to just focus on your friend group and you guys have a protocol and talk about what you guys would have done I guess like or what you guys would do or what you would have done in person you know what I mean like you like it's just to focus on Singapore and try to change Singaporean culture I'm not as worried about that as I am about like what are Asian Americans going to do you know right because we're living in this environment like where it's like uh barbarians understand barbarian behavior and confusions understand Confucian behavior yeah and also like even practice too you know like you can practice yelling at people or get your reps in because you never fully know how you're going to react when somebody like that is yelling that in your face you know what I mean you your your adrenaline might rush you might panic a little bit get a little bit anxious it's okay that's normal but you have to practice that and get through that so that you know how to handle 10 situations yeah that's my opinion but hey let us know what you think in the comment section below guys I think there's a lot of good arguments both ways I think you know responses are highly contextual to to what you want to do but also the culture that you're in and what are the standard normal practices within that fishbowl so anyway let us know what you think in the comment section below until next time we'll hop out boys we out peace
