 The Asian American internet is talking about this scene from the show warrior which is now on netflix So you watch it and let me know what you think let's run the clip That's what this one you sticking up your little buddy over there They asked you a question slant you don't understand shit. Yeah Well, you better learn it fast Because if you don't answer me now, he's gonna bleed all over that fence. He's sure to hit I wouldn't do that again if I were you Fucking slank and talk american Shit do it again. Say something. I didn't travel halfway across the world in that damn boat Just to amuse a few fat white fucks There I said something You think because you speak american you can talk shit to me Well, you have to admit it helps Somebody cheek needs to learn his place You think you can take me on? That's the wrong question Oh, yeah, what's the right one The right question is do you really want to find out? I didn't just make you feel You can't help but feel a little bit something like when bruce lee was coming out in the 1970s Being people up fighting for justice being righteous. A lot of people Take this clip as very cathartic. They're like, wow, this is there. I needed to see this This is what we need more of I need to see more A guy stepping up to the oppressors whether they're white guys or in this case They're the old white guys from the well, that's the politically correct choice, right? Yeah, you should that's the uh Non-problematic choice, but then uh, so you so you go after them. You beat them up. You teach them a lesson Is this scene realistic? Do you like the scene? What do you like and don't like about this scene? Because I think we have to understand that the show warrior it is a good show I've seen some episodes. I I'm not I didn't watch all the episodes Even though I can right right, but I acknowledge it is a good show, but I guess how come We don't watch it more. Yeah, I mean it's based off bruce lee's writings Make sure you like subscribe turning your notifications check out smile. I saw us smile. I saw us. I'll say this man I like to see I can see why everybody's commenting on it But I don't like that a lot of people are pretty much gonna like end it there What do you mean ended there like they're gonna be like, oh, it was good to see it anyway Go on my day and then like a bunch of agents are gonna get picked on like in their city You know what I mean like I'm not saying directly to them or their family, but like possibly all right Can this show inspire anybody to stand up for themselves? Obviously not fight everybody and beat up everybody. That's like beyond some physical limitations, right? But but is this show inspiring? Do you think this this seems like this inspiring to people? It can't hurt But it definitely is not the end all be all like for myself I might be a little bit more even more excited by scenes like this one Where this asian guy was about to get jumped by a bunch of frat guys apparently we'll just play down below I'm not gonna. We're just gonna play the clip. He apparently yeah These guys are trying to jump on me ends up beating this guy up who looks like macklemore No, he he this guy. Yeah, that's violent clip. But yeah, anyways. Yeah, I think he's like a kazakh boxer Or something this is a real thing that happened This is a real thing. I guess what I'm saying is just like I'm more kind of like Yeah, media representation matters, but at some point Real life action matters a lot more Here's what I think about this show warrior at least just let me just talk about this clip because the show Whether or not you watch a show. I don't know right, but Clips like this If it can inspire so it's not going to change someone's life It's not like this kid who has gets picked on he watches the scene he goes I'm gonna act like him and I'm not getting picked on anymore And then he marches back out to his bully the next day after watching because he doesn't have the strength of six men In one fist like a psalm going boom like this and the guy going But I think it inspires you to look more into martial arts and train martial arts I think that is a very important step because I think training martial arts Is the first small step into becoming like this guy even though this is a fake character like You know and it didn't even this this didn't happen It didn't happen the railroad the railroad workers Didn't have any assault. Yeah, this guy did not I don't know He did not exist because he speaks English too fluently and he's whatever. Anyways, it's a fictional character, but I'm saying that It's nice to see but I guess that as long as it inspires you to take the next step and and maybe take a Martial arts class then that's really good for your health and I think really good for your mental Yeah, I mean I'm just gonna be not a buzzkill, but I'm gonna break down exactly Probably what would have been realistic. I'll tell you this at the time the most like masculine Chinese guys during this railroad rush where essentially people are like almost like quasi slaves right indentured servitude You know What were probably some asian gangsters who would if they they got tested Somewhat defend asians, but they would also simultaneously like tax the asian community Like they would be which is this sort of the nature of asian gangs Everybody's always like you know how gangs in general But you know how like anytime anything happens nowadays people are like bring the asian gangs back and i'm like dude There was bad sides. Yeah, there's good and bad I mean, there's definitely there's an alphanist that you miss and an intimidation factor, but they also they also Oftentimes take from the I mean all gangs take from their own community If you know about the people that like came over from southern china at that time they did have sort of like A surf or a peasant mentality even in a self identity And that's partially why there was no like uprisings to like fight back Because they saw themselves as low in china. They're coming to america to get money to send back to china They view themselves as like They got they got to take a lot of ish either way. So you know what I mean? So i'm just saying like I just don't know how much this half white half japanese actor shifts everybody's identity Because he's coming from a super elevated place He's from a rich family even in the novel he's from like an elevated background I mean like the show he's from an elevated background just happens to be defending all the poor peasants But it's not going to turn the peasants all into like king-minded people Do you see what i'm saying where i'm like, I don't know if what was like That's what i'm trying to say like well if he kind of comes in I don't know people are really understanding What are they wanting to see are they wanting to see everybody actually uplift themselves or become business owners become revolutionaries Or they want these great world workers to team up and Kill all these mean white indentured servitude masters or what do they want to do? You make an interesting point I think what I would like to see more of is more like The inner workings of how like people can team up and work together. I guess that's not as exciting as one man One super elevated one superhero batman type coming in and and beating up the bad guys because visually Just like the scene right but ultimately what do you want to take from the show you want to take how? To organize how to train each other how to care for each other how to care for your community Hopefully hopefully that's what you draw from the show But again, you know and maybe if you do happen to come from a downtrodden group in that moment Or just for that era of history if you happen to be an elevated member Reach back and help the people who are not as elevated now Do you reach back and teach them all your kung fu moves or mental kung fu moves? Or what do you know what I'm saying? I guess Reach back Okay, all right, of course and or a bunch of people were hype about it a lot of people are just like yo, man I just love seeing this What do you think I mean people just love to see? Yeah, the shine guy from a weak group beat the guys who are in the higher in the hot power hierarchy It was a cool line. He called him Called him some names fought back. I guess it's cool to see kind of like some uh Old school, uh, it was it was and it was a well done scene I mean andrew koji can really do martial arts. So that's why it works Netflix says that they'll fund season four if the asian-american community essentially I'm assuming that's who they're betting on pushes up the numbers for seizes one through three on uh, you know On netflix because I think they're bluffing. I don't know That's show Asian-american community support. This is what I'm saying. Is there any sort of like Man, this was from bruce lee's writings So we're supporting this old legend and showing masculine asian guys in a time where We were somewhat masculine Is it something that we should champion and all push for well if that was like if there was like, uh A number that we had to reach and we were within reach I guess I could see making a small extra push to reach that number But ultimately we don't know what the number is we don't know if netflix is just bluffing and saying that Just so you watch the show and they have like very low intentions of actually producing it because it costs millions of dollars so I guess My that would be my question because otherwise. I'm just like, I don't know. I can't like this guys check it out Yeah, watch it like it. No, it's a cool show at least see if you like it. It's a cool show. I'm you know what? I'm gonna watch episode tonight Okay, and I've seen maybe only four episodes in my life Um, somebody said has anybody dealt with similar situations in the past somebody said this was high school forum And somebody said in the 1970s or 60s This was way more like the real life story than like what is it now now It might be like in a corporate sense you're getting bullied, but just not as much like this exact scene anymore Yeah, and I think that ultimately that's why you start the process and let this inspire you To take to do something bold to take up a bold class whether it's martial arts or take up even a A public speaking class or something that empowers you And gives you the skills some western skill set In this world that improves those skills that you're going to need like just have this inspire you that's all What would a modern day application would it be would it be at work where guys are like, hey melvin Why don't you stay in this weekend and uh run these numbers for me and then melvin's like No, it's not within my job description. You should do your own work kody That would be the equivalent of him assombing it Possibly i'm just throwing it out. I don't tell me in 2020 that's not the correct question. Hey the correct question you should be asking is how Are you going to figure it out next week when you come back on monday and he sees sees the superior in microsoft outlook That's the assom version. Yeah, of course. There was a bunch of people arguing saying like racism has been fixed I never got called a chink before blah blah blah. This is fake news. I'll tell you this listen guys Everybody's experience is so different in this country and in 2024. I noticed the fish bowls are getting more Disparate So there's some people who are going through almost something that seems very much like this scene in warrior And there's people that depending on the flow of their life and the fish bowls that they place themselves in or that they're That they'll never see anything like it. Do you know what i'm saying? Like it's a lot different than the 60s and 70s where everybody probably was like Oh, yeah, for sure. My dad went through something like this. Yeah, I don't know how you can say there's no racism when we just had anti-asian hate stuff happen, but I know not everybody has been called the c word to their face. I have been but in different contexts Um, but it's not like yeah, I don't get it every day now like I've noticed getting called the c word A lot less. Yeah, it happens in the past five ten years Man when we're growing up the frequency. Oh god, I hope it's pretty high. I hope it happens less But anyways guys, so uh Let us know how you feel about this scene. How important it is Is it to you to watch this show? Is this the best show? Is there other things that you can do? Should it just inspire you to take the next step in your life? The warrior it is a well-made show shout out to Olivia Chang. We know her she we played basketball with her over in Toronto. She's in the show I hope they give it a season four. Yeah, they should net. I want to see how netflix does Yo, that would be a crazy thing if netflix Puts it on their platform from hbo and then produces the next season It's almost like adopting someone else's kid that they abandoned and then giving them A position at their company. Yeah, dude. It was been jumping all around. I think it went hbo show time to To netflix now. Well, people seem to like it So if it's still bouncing around, you know, it's a journey man of a show But that means it still has value. So shout out. I'm gonna watch an episode today You have my word for it. Let us know what you think in the comment section below until next time. We're gonna hop off boys We out peace
