 If you internalize that history, you can actually weaponize that history and that identity into negative attitudes towards people because you're like oh my people versus your people, my people did this to your people, my people gave your people this and they're for your people, oh my people this and I'm like oh yeah. This racist video from the UK is going viral right now, let's talk about why. Yeah the comments section went everywhere, let's run the clip. Long story short Andrew, there's two Nepalese sisters that are walking through their hometown of Maidstone Kent which is 40 miles south of London and a group of kids, white kids surround them, they start doing Qingchong, you know there's a little bit of pushing, some people got their phones out or mocking like oh Qingchong and this just goes viral. Yeah this was definitely kind of weird and there's a lot of comments about it but let's talk about it, we got our own takeaways, please hit that like button and check out other episodes of the hot pot boys. David before we get into the comments I would say man between the girl pulling back her eyes saying Qingchong I was like yo is Gen Z still using this as the go-to Asian diss? Like this is about 40 years old. Yeah yeah yeah I mean also the girl's wearing this like crazy cheetah outfit, it looks almost insane, it almost looks like a skit about racism in America where it's like not actually real. I think that that's why the clip kind of feels surreal, you know they're like surrounded. It almost felt like 90210 where Degrassi or something like TV manufactured about it. I will say this though Andrew is it possible that their Asian dishes this is towards a Mongoloid or like whatever quote Oriental people in the UK are not that advanced? Like they got frozen in time? Yeah but I yeah yes I mean you know anyways guys let's get into the comments here. Somebody said uh I think the kid holding the camera might even be worse or just as bad as the big cheetah girl because there's these white kids over there um and they're like holding the camera being like look these Nepalese are being made fun of like. Yeah they're just doing that and I think that uh yeah I don't know what these guys are doing. I mean listen you're ganging up on two girls it's not a good look man. I mean like obviously luckily nothing worse happened and it wasn't like an actual brawl or anything like that but man yeah I hope these kids are regretting it right now. Um somebody said the country that invented racism as a racism problem where do you think America got it from? Obviously indicating that America got a lot of its culture from the UK originally. Yeah to blame racism in America on Britain is pretty funny. So actually I had to hit up somebody I know Andrew who grew up in London and they were saying that uh not that they're surprised by this but that there's a huge variance of behavior Andrew even in the UK amongst whites that are like upper class middle class lower class and she was saying it's more possible that these kids in this video were like maybe more lower class. Well it does seem like when you think of the Porsche London like they wouldn't say this oh no my children would never do the Qing Chong with the eyes peeled back but that's my that's something that they do in Kent down south. Man this place is like Kent man I don't know what's going on. Yeah that's and then that's when your voice gets all cockney and stuff. Yeah right by the way our hometown was actually called Kent as well and it probably was named after this town in London if you really know how America started. Oh it's all coming it's all connecting now the puzzle pieces make sense. Somebody says well the UK has a history of being racist towards other whites even the Irish Scottish Welsh and Eastern Europeans. That is interesting guys never forget that white people are not only good at hating on different colors of people they're also good at hating on other white people. Yo I did not know that until we went to Belgium and they said there was a beef between the French part and the Flemish part. See I was like what? See sometimes in America you're like Italians yeah well they have a little darker hair a little maybe olive skin they looked like nah man over there in Europe they are hating on people who look exactly the same but they just have they just they just know you know why they could tell about they could tell by the accent and different names are super distinct. No they're they're hella discriminatory against certain names like O'Neill or McReilly you know like. Oh you're McConnell. Somebody said this is what Brexit was truly about tribalism it wasn't about economic independence or independent environmental policies it's just tribalism. Yeah well to be honest you know I'm not that well read on what the Brexit goals were but yeah. Yeah I'm not gonna lie in America we might know about zero percent or maybe less than three percent out of a hundred about Brexit. Somebody said well if the UK was so racist then why was our prime minister currently Indian? Right. Right and because racism ended in America officially when Obama got elected so you know that's how it works. Right somebody said well I'm just glad to see it's not just America for some reason in my mind off they're all the social media so I thought this type of ignorance was only here. Oh man I don't know I think there's a lot more videos from America and they're even worse. Yeah in a way there was some childishness to this one it was very interesting I think that's why it went viral. Somebody said how come Asians never really attack whites but there's a lot of videos of Asians verbally getting attacked at least by white people. Listen guys statistically Asians are not known for attacking other people except maybe only Asians. That's it man. Somebody says was there two sides to this though what's the background story did these Nepalese girls say something because I heard that these two girls have a single that debuted on BBC radio online so they might be just trying to promote it I mean obviously this person probably had a British accent because nobody American would look into this as well. It was clearly just a marketing ploy by two colored girls in Mainstone to get more publicity. Wait so was this all a sketch or that they provoked these girls so that they could get the video I don't know if this is good promo. Yeah you know but anyways it would have been I'll say this in the highly highly unlikely hood that that's true they did a hell of a job. Hey talk about urban organic marketing. By the way I'm gonna leave the link to the Nepalese sisters song below in the YouTube description just to shout them out. Somebody said you gotta blame the parents man these parents they are the ones to condition these pick kids against racism and in the UK it's a native white country it's a little bit different than America which is more immigranty and more diverse so maybe these kids just didn't get the education blame the parents. Yeah and it's really weird to think because I'm like yeah if this let's say this girl who was doing the ching chong face is only like 19 years old who did she learn that from because where is she seeing that not in popular media like on TikTok that kind of stuff would get shot down super quick. Where she said I learned it from Little Pump he has the song I was like yeah I mean ching chong. Or she's like yes I heard my mother say it before that's how she refers to the orientals she calls them the ching chongs and she has a girl the ching chongs are down. Somebody said uh well I was glad at least that one girl at the end was positive towards her and somebody else said dude were you talking about that girl who comes up to her to comfort her at the end was just cheering on them on to fight like 15 seconds earlier she was clearly just trying to cover her ass because she knew this was going viral. Hey this next comment is funny yeah well just because they speak with a British accent doesn't mean they're smart because I think there's obviously this this uh perception that when you have a British accent which there are different types of British accents but when you have a certain British accent you're all of a sudden esteemed and educated. But isn't that because a lot of the British media that we're exposed to in America comes more from the royals like we watch like elite you know like uh what's it called Bridgerton or yeah Bridgerton or I mean like Game of Thrones what kind of accents it has. Like lock stock and smoking barrels that like cockney that like that that type of thing what you any what you think of all this that's that's a very niche market in America. Yeah well now you got Central Sea. Yeah who knows maybe this girl's dad was a soccer hooligan or some sort of uh grimy you know in it in it um somebody said the Gurkhas are loyal to the British Empire and the Queen how can we treat their children this way. All right David so explain this who are the Gurkhas and why does this relate to the Nepalese girls. Uh so long story short Andrew Nepal is a country that is like you could look daisy you could look more Mongoloid or East Asian or Tibetan or a mix of those two things the Gurkhas are a group of people that are known for being great warriors uh the British came saw that I believe Nepal was a British colony or had some sort of contact they sent them over to fight for England and that's a way to get British citizenship yeah for the Gurkhas the Gurung. Yeah you even meet Nepalese people in Gurkhas in Hong Kong too as well because that was a British colony so then they also got a chance to go over and work in great fighters great warriors a lot of uh medals in warfare very very brave and ruthless fighters and maybe that also contributed to the sassiness of these Nepalese sisters yeah they didn't stand down she gave her a little shove I would not say that she was phased um somebody said this is a crazy comment I don't even want to touch you know whether this is true or not but somebody said you know Britain has always sent its best and brightest to war many of now have been killed and we have to repopulate the country with who was left over and the leftover stock is not the same stock that we sent over so he's blaming the current British situation on the fact that the best and brightest British people have died off or been killed in war to be fair and the UK did fight a lot of wars oh you guys let me know why does that have any merit okay they sent all the criminals to Australia too so I don't know it's been filtered a couple times somebody said uh hey guys everybody's racist let's not get too generalized here and try to blame the UK all with a broad stroke and somebody said uh but you know isn't it interesting that the UK is the nexus I guess of the Anglo-Saxons the Anglo-Saxons obviously are the most dominant I guess group of the past what a couple hundred years mm-hmm yeah I mean I mean obviously not everybody in the UK's racist I wouldn't even say that but like yeah it seems that uh maybe they feel like they uh you know like this girl you know she's a British girl and she probably learns all this great history about Britain and how like Britain colonized all these different places right the only reason you're here is because yeah you you are fighting for our queen but our queen doesn't look like you so I guess this raises an interesting question about like how much of a role history plays in people's identities and how they feel towards other people because on one hand everybody's like oh you should know your history right and then on the other hand if you internalize that history you can actually weaponize that history and that identity into negative attitudes towards people because you're like oh my people versus your people my people did this to your people or my people gave your people this and though therefore your people oh my people this and I'm like oh yeah well I guess right now that's where we're at right let's say for example this Nepalese girl she's got a great uh counter argument right because her dad actually fought for the British so she's like what I can't be British my father like would have died for this country but then if you need that what does that say for an immigrant who doesn't have that story right and so there's so many levels that can get so complicated Andrew um get into our takeaways Andrew there's no real easy answer to this question a lot of stuff is in the gray but don't you think it just really matters what side of society you interact with will sort of color your view of that society like somebody could grow up in the UK and have had racism every day almost on a malicious level and other people could have experienced one percent of that and spent their whole life in the UK I mean even if this angry girl had a good Nepalese friend or a good Asian friend growing up she's probably not doing this ever right but she probably doesn't have that one friend I don't like to paw very much yeah she definitely has not had the food and I'm like I guess that's the thing and that's why being a friend to other people is important sometimes you know just being that bridge but how much do you think being like working class versus private school versus being very posh plays into this I don't know I mean I'm sure there's some correlation right because that's like they always say like in poor neighborhoods or the lower income that race can be uh the tension the racial tensions can flare up even more right because when you reach when everybody's like a millionaire I mean really does it doesn't matter what color you are at that point I think it still matters but other things matter more even to as simple as reputation matters more you don't want to have a trashy reputation if you're a posh person so do you think that obviously Michelle Yo Andrew educated in the UK Gemma Chan Joe Lowe remember from Malaysia all educated there they probably had very different UK experiences than the minorities growing up in Maidstone yeah I mean if they spent time more in the bigger city and affluent family possibly but that's not to say that they don't know that there's racism but yeah maybe then themselves because they didn't grow up in this Kent like like I said yeah everybody's personal exposure to larger macro dynamics will vary even if the macro dynamics over an average scientifically are the same somebody said um Andrew why do you think that she was lashing out do you think it's because she was possibly a outcast of the dominant group and then she's looking at these Nepalese sisters they're pretty but they're minorities they're trying to be singers they dress different they might you know act like they're cool and stuff like that and she's like I don't like it like I'm supposed to be from the higher group but I'm lower because I'm like big and I'm not valued yeah I mean there's like some human nature aspects yeah it's hard to say because I have seen good-looking people also say racist things so just because you're good-looking doesn't mean that you don't feel any pain and you're just happy go lucky and everybody's nice oh I'm nice to everybody because I'm a pretty blonde British girl you know um I we've seen those people also do nasty things so I think it's a lot to assume you know but yeah I mean I guess it could be some jealousy maybe she feel like I don't know maybe she felt like some boy that she liked liked one of the Nepalese girls I don't know maybe he was like hey you gotta check out this new song from these two Nepalese sisters oh Nepalese sisters I hate them I actually have something like a Iggy Azalea type rap career going for myself how come BBC's not picking up my single from Cheetah girl um I guess to bring it to the big big macro Andrew do you see this as behavior that's more common amongst groups that are more historically dominant in the sense of like uh I guess you know if you look at Anglo-Saxons if you include the Netherlands in there I mean been dominant for the last like 400 years like in the sense of like is that group of people more racist or is that just everywhere everybody's racist like this could happen to anybody in any country where they're the minority I guess I don't know if this helps at all but you could look at it as a minority who is at the risk of possibly one of these like verbal confrontations happening or possibly physical but hopefully not physical but it's like it's like growing pains for white people man they're just going through it it doesn't mean you have to be feel bad for them don't feel bad for are you saying like we ruled the world for the last 500 years and it feels like things are yeah it feels like a loss to me yeah I don't know some of their lives they feel like they're getting affected so I'm just we're you know I'm just gonna deal with it because their life ain't getting better in their opinion um so they're just trying to lash out but that's not right but just so you understand I might and by the way of course we're not saying it's everybody or even a majority of people we're just saying that you know it's probably a vocal fraction of people but I'm sure how big that fraction is is debatable last but not least Andrew does it all come down to appreciation if she liked tuc paa if she had you know the curry momos from Nepal is she like even knew anything I don't think this if you made me guess I don't know but this girl Tammy Smith or whatever from Maidstone she probably doesn't know much about Asia in general or appreciate things from there if she did is she less likely to do this yeah yeah right I mean for sure um yeah dude if she if generally I would say if you generally like the actual authentic food from people that means you've gone to the restaurant you've been served by that person you're less likely to do this man and it doesn't mean that you're like think that person's like better than you or anything but at least I feel like liking one thing from people Andrew it takes away their NPC-ness because I felt like they were kind of like treating them like it like not even you know subhuman yeah yeah I don't know man I think it was just you know you're gonna see more and more of these videos but I guess it was very interesting to see a group of kids surrounding them and it looked kind of threatening and then they were saying the ching chong thing and this is like dang man this this almost feels like a video from 30 years ago but I guess it's gonna happen again so anyway guys let us know what you think in the comment section below um yeah keep it civil I don't know it's going viral right now what do you guys think until next time we the hotpot boys we out peace
