 does the world of tennis have something against Asian players right now or is it just a coincidence that this seems to keep happening yeah this went viral in the tennis world andru and of course andru silly the series it started out silly it even got a little geopolitical make sure you like subscribe turning your notifications andru let's run the viral clip circulating right now involving Zhuang Shui and Amarisa Toth what it was good Amarisa Toth isn't sure normally when you kind of linger oh no it is why it's believe this she has retired from this match i mean we saw the doctor there clearly nothing is wrong with her she was in floods of tears at the the sit down there was long story short andru Zhang Shui hits it it's actually in according to the video the umpire and the supervisor call it out you know she wants to protest it turns into a whole thing Toth is taunting her the crowd starts taunting her and uh Zhang Shui is just like you know what i give up i'm gonna retire from this match Toth throws her hands up the tennis world went against Toth and supported Zhang Shui right and then Toth sends out an apology that doesn't seem super genuine but probably just because she had to um i guess right here David and we're gonna go into the comment section because there's a lot of different comments and perspective on it but i guess like for me not being a natural tennis player i was surprised to find out some things about the game of tennis and how much etiquette and sportsmanship is part of it right so you're saying this is why this is going viral yeah it's a little bit different but i don't think a lot of people understand this about tennis right it's like the the respect that the tennis players are supposed to have for each other it's not a trash talking sport like basketball where you're saying mean things at each other at the free throw line and stuff like that to get into the head like this is it's not as much of the sport no this is a country club sport this is a sport that has been typically played by the upper middle class and wealthy people of the world right yeah and while i think that umpires of any sport and any referee can make a miss call there's bad calls in basketball there's this that we all even with with replay they can still make a bad call because to overturn it you have to have like more than reasonable doubt and all this stuff but i guess like uh yeah i guess her stepping and erasing the mark was really disrespectful i guess it wasn't illegal maybe not a violation quite but her stepping to show where the ball had landed had that the ball had landed on the line to step on it i think it was an extra disrespectful because while she's doing it john schwa is asking her to not do it because she still wants somebody to come examine yeah so it kind of is like don't do it don't do it don't do it and then she's like i'm doing it yeah people are like oh and uh coupled with the recent disqualification of kato for accidentally hitting the ball towards the ball girl and hitting the ball girl in france andrew everybody's looking at hungary and grand prix like yo what's going on is there a conspiracy against asian women in pro tennis all right well we're going to talk about it because there is a theory but i don't know if it's true or not so hey guys make sure you like subscribe turn your notifications let's get into the comment section somebody said literally every single one of their peers agreed that tauth was disrespectful and they supported john schwa so what does that show you i mean does that show you and the fact that the tennis world went with john because she has a good reputation she's been a pro for a number of years this with toss i think tauth by the way she's half thai and half hungarian looks more asian but uh people was more going with john schwa i think it was bad because tauth already got the point and that she didn't have to step on it out of spite you know i mean she did it to punker she said oh you don't want me to erase it bam even though she she could have just left it because the call already happened right do you think she was also yelling at her you are creating problem like do you think she was doing that because she was on her home turf in hungary and she's hungarian yeah i mean i also you know maybe there is some anti china thing i don't want to want to call tauth races because she is half asian so maybe i will give you give her the benefit of the doubt for that but it could be anti china right here's what if she tried to justify and go no no no no no that the fact i don't like john schwa is from my thai side yes from the thai side it's not my hungarian but thai people i don't think they hate chinese no no that's not i think the older ones but anyway yeah uh the hungarian gp enter the grand prix official account came out and said china is releasing manipulative video trying to manipulate the world and in here this is where i got geopolitical oh um so long story short enter they were saying that the clip got taken out of context because it is missing the fact that there was a point right after um the bad read the bad call before she wiped it so does that show that the video we showed earlier was manipulative uh it was edited it cut out some part in between but does that change that her behavior was unsportsman like right because you can clearly see she did everything even if there's like a point missed in between right you're saying that there was a play in between it didn't happen right after yeah i don't know if that changes anything but yes yes the video i could see from the video if you think that she's wiping it while before the umpire is coming to look at it that would be really horrible yeah but the umpire i had actually made the call already right and that's why a lot of people are accusing the umpire of potentially being anti-asian or anti-chinese because you can see that it's in so she marks it out so people are saying potentially that the umpire aka the officials and the referee and the player were both being kind of like disrespectful yeah that's what everybody's saying guys listen the tenet tennis world is the tennis world man i can only tell you what i see um somebody said i noticed the institution of tennis seems to be against any asian female player why does this pattern happen over and over again amiris atath has the worst pr ever now this is white privilege and someone said what do you mean white privilege they're both asian someone said no one of them's half white whether she looks at or not obviously amiris atath more asian passing hungarian so i i guess if hungarian is white in this case yeah more white for sure even though yeah um yeah what do you think man do you do you think that there's any enough evidence to prove or is this a result of there's just a lot more pro asian female tennis players nowadays like there's a lot more pro asian female golfers they make up a much larger proportion of that pie and growing every year well i i think it's tough to tie the kato situation and the shui situation together as far as uh a geopolitical thing because what people hate japan too because then you can't use the whole like oh they're hating on chinese players argument right you're saying that but you could say that they don't like east asian players yeah i think the only theory that has any sort of validity and i'm not sure if it does is the one where people feel like since asian female players are on the rise they want to hold them back or punish them for possibly replacing a lot of european or white female tennis players right right this is replacement you mean how for example a lot of asian female pro golfers have replaced a lot of european women on the pro lgb lpga lpga yeah it's hard to say uh but yeah so i would say that i think that's the only theory that i can see you know what i mean like i got and i'm not sure if that's true i don't want to necessarily throw the whole tennis federation under the bus but i can't say no right it's an old world society man they might not like people messing with the old world order um somebody said the sinophobia was loud af wow and somebody said yeah it's well deserved the sinophobia is well deserved of course and this is where the whole geopolitical thing comes into play right let me ask you this david is it do you think the sinophobia might be worse and harsher in the tennis world because tennis is more of a richer sport as in if you saw a bunch of asian basketball players that were super good and could play in the mba that they might just they might just let them play i don't know i know definitely know some asians said that jeremy lin didn't get the calls at the rim though with the contact you so you did hear that theory too that could have been because he's not a superstar either though i don't know that's what we're saying guys hey i'm not here to oversubscribe to any one because i'm just here to ask the questions i think we need to see a larger sample size but this pattern is in my tennis mind is to a pattern i need to see if they do that to the guys i don't know if there's enough asian men that are competitive on that level in the tennis world yet but i think amarisa toff being half asian it clearly goes to show you that asian women are clearly making their way into tennis yeah uh i forgot how to say her name rada rada rada rada kamu rada kamu and uh also Naomi Osaka half asian right right i guess like maybe there's just enough asian women that are playing tennis that more of these bad i see what you're saying they're gonna happen there's such a volume of interactions with asian women now in the pro tennis world somebody said her apology just felt so forced because of the backlash she received you can look at her eyes there's not a single ounce of regret let's play toss for uh apology right just getting into our takeaways i do think that racism looks different in tennis than it does in a very more violent sport like football or basketball i do think like you said there's so much stuff that is subjective about like line in line out they don't necessarily especially on clay they're not using the robot sensors you know like you said there's a lot more about decorum yeah in tennis yeah so i think like there's such a focus on sportsmanship like if this was any other sport almost i feel like it's not that big of a deal and also i do think let's be honest that there might be a different expectation for women to be like more nicer to each other right because they don't have the john mackem rose and things like right like john yeah john mackem rose known to be an a-hole right but i'm saying like you don't really want to see a whole women female tennis player because female tennis players are supposed to be like more you know like womenly like like women like is what they would want no it's true the ones that are really popular they generally look really good in the dress yeah and they're more sweet and and schwae is has a very good long reputation of being sweet she's also been in playing tennis for many years and then everybody's like so it's almost like people that people don't like toth bringing the nastiness to yeah just got a little dirty and caddy and i think that's when people are like oh we might be losing the tennis world and the tennis decorum is falling apart because listen we have women women's tennis players fighting each other listen i don't want to lend anything to this replacement theory of like european players and tennis andrew but if we look at the hierarchy of how big the balls get in sports it goes squash badminton golf tennis cricket baseball volleyball soccer ball basketballs that's like and football is in somewhere that didn't rank because it's not spherical right but like i'm saying this is like it seems like asians are getting better and better each level you know what i mean they started at the small sports squash golf and they're just moving up the list you mean they're being really good at the sports with small balls yeah because those are uh probably what less power less power sports less height related more technical yeah maybe you know smaller movements i do think that like i said i don't know how much europeans are scared or trying to be racist about like getting replaced in the median but i do think that when they you see a dominant player in a sport andrew that's from a different place like shohei otani or each year old when they were dominating the mlb it's different than when you feel like all the players in the middle the median average player is becoming a foreign face i think more people are okay with like even let's just say basketball yokech and luka are starting to dominate the mba and yanis he's from greece even though he's nigerian like it's like that's it's okay because the median player is still american right right right interesting yeah i don't know guys you let me know in the comments down below personally i'm not i don't want to say i'm convinced that there is a conspiracy against asian players yet but definitely this raises some questions and i do think that yeah people in the tennis world i don't know maybe they're feeling the heat of all these asian tennis players coming up anytime there's a 50-50 go against the asian i don't know guys i don't think what happened in america to be honest all these things i think these are old world countries with old world rules that that's my honest opinion i think they do things different in europe than in america because it's that's the old world yeah possibly all right guys let me know in the comments down below hit that like button check out other
