 Ask yourself why you did that only to see me. That's all I want to know That's all I want to know I know there's gonna be a lot of disagreements about this one But please hear us out and taking a consideration just a couple perspectives. Yeah I won't stay for this slander of the great state of Utah Just kidding. Maybe I will yeah guys This is going viral right now and we are not just talking about see me leo hitting the four-pointer in the NBA All-Star celebrity game We're talking about some of the racism on the jumbo tron look-a-like game Bum bum bum You would not believe Andrew There are ten thousand comments on this topic on the internet right now and it's seemingly such a trivial thing But sometimes people are only willing to engage in macro concepts through trivial happenings And I think that this is one of those times Yeah, and it's really being debated on one how racist was this and two Why are everybody being so sensitive about it? I read like 6,000 comments for this video guys, so I hope you appreciate it I'm just gonna for the sake of simplicity split it into 33 33 33 This was the distribution the first opinion was Utah's racist classic. That's what Donovan Mitchell said That's what Russell Westbrook said everybody knows that they do not treat non-white people very good in Utah So it does not surprise me at all what they did on the racist look-a-like camp to see muleo The part that I agree with this is Even the in arena announcer when this was happening and I'll play the clip right now They were like, oh wow, yeah, I don't fully agree with this one, but we'll take it anyway moving on So even he was like, oh shoot. What the heck is going on? He was like, oh you went hard on scene move right off the bat, huh? Oh Get a little hot in here. All right, and then so there was actually some acknowledgment that there was like That was kind of a harsh joke. Listen. It was a joke. I get it It was in the form of comedy or so that they're going to say but here's the thing They didn't roast anybody else Oh, and they didn't really roast Shaq roasting Shaq and comparing him to Kevin Hart Kevin Hart's like a billionaire too Shaq's a millionaire Vons comparison was like even better-looking than Lindsay Vaughn is too so that definitely listen I'm not saying it's the it's not the joke itself It's not the joke what self wasn't super racist if it was in a roast Format if this was a joke fest if everybody's getting joked on fine. That's okay. That's totally cool But for him to be the only one that you may I'm not gonna make fun of you. I'm not making fun of you But you I'm making fun. You know, it's goofy when some people on the internet were like, yeah Well, they do this at my favorite hockey games. We're not at a hockey game though We're at the NBA game and nobody else got it Like you can't subject your standards from like this one random hockey game you went to to this one specific joke about So the part I disagree with this on is like you said Andrew I don't think it's the most racist thing ever and Yeah, three out of ten in this context They should be zero out of ten on like tears of racism. It's still three more than everybody else Yeah, I actually don't even think the joke is that racist I think the reason why they did it in the intention is almost a little bit more racist That's right. It's almost more of the pattern than the actual specific Moving on Andrew. This is the middle opinion. Yeah, man This incident was like 50-50 a little sus, but not too big of a deal I don't know. Maybe see me over blew it a little bit by you know, just being offended so offended by it I don't know. I'm kind of 50-50 on it. Yeah, so so I get it We have a lot of friends that feel this way and even at me at first I didn't feel outraged at this either, you know, because I just just hear and see so many other more like Like detrimental right here all the time, right? Yeah, so to me. This isn't that bad But then I really thought about I was like hold up. Hold up. Hold up This really falls into a larger pattern of how people treat Asian men Particularly Asian men like we said they weren't gonna do this to Hasan Minaj They weren't gonna do this to Michelle. Yo or any Asian woman that was out there. They didn't do it to any black They didn't do it to Shaq I thought they were about to troll Shaq by showing a big fat guy that was Shaq's looking like and then They just went with Kevin Hart. Yeah, so so I guess what I'm saying is to bust out the roast game Only on Simu it's clearly showing some level of disrespect And it falls underneath the whole pattern that every Asian guy can almost agree with is like yeah People can make fun of Asian guys and they don't think it's a big deal. It was almost like the in stadium team was like Yep, we'll go wholesome wholesome wholesome wholesome. Oh, yeah, Simu He's gonna be the subject of a comedy central roast or maybe even like f Tony type tone Which is a comedy show that is very edgy By the way guys the part that I disagree with this comment on just saying Ah, yes 50-50. It's like you said some people they might not really understand that in media This is a common pattern in any sort of mainstream media brozone specifically sports are all team contact sports kind of I mean, it's just like I'm just like yo, listen the thing itself wasn't a big deal But the continuation of the pattern that you always see listen This is the celebrity game man You had a chance to do something nice for Simu and show him You know show him like age like welcome him into the world of celebrity, you know because he's there now And it's like no you you decided to break him down Andrew Here's the last 33 distribution opinion on the spectrum was quit wine and man It's just a little joke man. Oh man if we left Asians out, they'd be complaining now We included Asians now. They're still complaining. You can't win in this woke era man. Golly. I hate it I do agree that we have to be careful with the term Racist because I think that there's different levels of racism So I think a lot of people get confused. They either want to call it racist or not racist That's like a zero or a 10. Yeah. Yeah, I wish that there was like more of a scale like hey I'm talking about this is like low low racism, but it's definitely falls on the scale Yeah, it's probably like a two out of ten three out of ten, right? Yeah So I guess it's hard to be like I wouldn't want to overreact that this I do think it's worthy of speaking up about it I think Simu's response of being like hey, that wasn't cool I thought that was appropriate. Some people thought he was being too sensitive I'm like he said it wasn't cool. It wasn't cool Should he could he have explained himself in more detail being like hey How come Hassan didn't get clowned on like this or something like that, but I think either way Yes We do have to on the internet be careful about calling everything like 10 out of 10 right Cuz you're saying then people become numb to it and when something does happen They're just like well if any 10 out of 10, I can't be bothered to pay attention to it This was three out of ten four out of ten I can't even see that with the micro aggressions those minors will not even exist to me And I can see how if I guess if I was theoretically let's just say I was a white person from Utah I could see how if I was raised that way I would feel that way about these accusations that seem like they pop up like every five seconds Believe me Utah people or whoever was doing the camera work. Trust me. I like myself a good roast joke I like myself a good accent on this channel whenever we do accents and impressions of people We do impressions of everybody equal opportunity Mocking it's way more about getting singled out. Um, here are my couple takeaways Andrew I would say this I just feel like Asian dudes are always in this weird Status in Asia in like American society where we're always getting rookie hazed Yeah, you know how like you just constantly perpetually stuck in like that freshman in the frat the rookie on the team Where you just like man, I'm bringing the doughnuts Yeah, it's still like everybody's got my back because I guess I'm kind of American and a part of the team But like why am I getting the lower rookie status? Yeah, it seems like even though some Asian people out there are very talented and they're famous now It just seems like a lot of people feel like they're nothing to envy and nothing to be jealous of like man There's they're still not doing anything. I care about I don't care about that stuff So I don't think he's famous and I'll have to respect him and I'm like Yeah, I mean there's so many different talents and movies and ways to get famous and rich now But that it was still wrong what they did. Yeah I'm still gonna treat them like Justin Chan's role in that movie 21 and over. You can't make me care about the global market I'm working if you care about no global markets moving on to number two Andrew Like I said, it can be not a big deal in the semantic like detail perspective and be a big deal at the same time No, it can be labeled as racist technically and it not be the biggest deal in the world I get it and I don't think it's the biggest deal A lot of people don't want to give it that nuance or have that nuance structure in their mind Yeah, I mean if you talk to a lot of black people like they they talk about like yo like the thing the cop pulled me over I got looked at like this and blah blah blah like across the street all the time. They'll just it's very like common That's why you know, I mean, it's unfortunate that that's that way But in a way this conversation should be had um point number three Andrew You might expect this in hockey or this tone to exist in hockey, but not the NBA But a lot of people would combat that and be like, yeah, you were in the NBA, but that was like Utah Yeah, but but regardless this was an NBA event David and you always point out the fact that so much of the NBA revenue Which is anywhere from 30 to 40 percent globally of the global NBA revenue comes from Asians, right? But like there's only one full Asian player in the NBA and Asians pump potentially up to 40 percent of the global Revenue streams so you could say by that ratio Asians are the biggest fans of the NBA Yeah, because they're fans of something that they don't really see themselves represented in and they're pumped They're just like super fans of it. So now Chinese so they had a couple Asians in the celebrity game We felt represented in that but then you still had to punch down and knock them off and Don't feel too good about yourself Seymour. I don't give a damn about no no no phase four super heroes Anyway, they ain't real super heroes of me. Hey Seymour just to remind you you're still an Asian dweeb Still remind me of this fat dorky guy over here shout out to him though, but I mean You know, I mean obviously that's a fat dorky looking guy I'm moving on to point number four Andrew I guess I agree there are some aspects that made it cloudy to the point Andrew It was so cloudy that some Asians even sort of went against Seymour or didn't agree with them I wouldn't say they went against them But yeah, that's why I think it's important to have this conversation about really what it means and what pattern it falls into Detailed micro level I could see why someone could make that excuse. You know what it is when I saw the screenshot I didn't think it was that big of a deal I was like, hi, they're roasting people and then I watched the rest of the video and I was like They didn't roast anybody else giving props to people or pointing out like a ball. I was like wait. Hold on Some's off here. So something's off. Definitely guys and that's why you have these conversations. Do you think Andrew the fat dorky guy? Felt when he was like, yeah, I was just happy to be on Jumbotron and now I realize oh man, I'm a laughing stock Um, I think it was a memorable experience for him I'm sure in the moment He was very happy and excited to be on the Jumbotron because you know, it's probably the first time he's on the Jumbotron You know, he might be from a different country, whatever, but uh Yeah, I mean, I'm I don't know if he's insulted by how it turned out. I'm sorry man There's nothing. No, there's nothing personally somebody knows him. Let us know what happened Yeah, like how he's processing it in the comment section below. Um last but not least Andrew I mean at the end of the day, I'm glad it happened and I'm glad Simu responded to it And I'm glad there's discourse over it Even though like we said it was 33 33 33 Some people were agreeing with Simu or even going further than him some people were in the middle and some people were like Against I want to put this in perspective guys comparing this to the Thomas Keon from Purdue University when he said that At the at the Graduation of one of the campuses that Thomas Keon thing was worse than this. I understand that I'm not putting those things on the same level. Yeah, like that was at least a four Yeah, this is like it was supposed to be a joke, but it was just kind of a ill-timed and kind of like out of context joke That's a little hacky. Yeah, and it's just a little bit like wait. Why so that's why I'm saying I'm not going around yelling that Utah's races are the NBA's right I would never I'm not saying that I'm just saying it was insensitive and you have to ask yourself camera guy at the Utah Jazz Arena, whatever ask yourself Why you did that only to see me? That's all I want to know. That's all I want to know Anyway, let us know what you think in the comment section below I expect there to be disagreements keep it civil like I said guys the incident itself Not too big of a deal, but it just fits into a larger pattern of disrespect. Let us know what you guys think until next I'm going to hop up boys. We out. Peace
