0:00 I've seen dudes talk about uh how Asians shouldn't aren't allowed to do hip-hop and they go and teach in Asia and they'll go and teach in Switzerland and say white people can't do hip-hop and I'm like stop teaching them [Music] and welcome back everybody to another amazing episode of the careful boys where we have a careful girl here today let's get up for Kristen y'all cool last name what's the origin Italian oh ████ I should have known that spicy let me get some extra Farina on this pizza we're just talking about how you can't say the word ████ anymore right Nick no I think I think it's uh well Nick loves that word but I feel like everyone's saying it only gets mad
0:50 here's the point on that word it is the medical term is mental ████ so I feel like if it's used in the right that is the medical term yeah yeah and if it's not offensive you gotta put your hands up everybody's doing it like this be chilled out so the doctor tells you hey you're mentally ████ what does that mean what do you mean the doctor goes because the medical term right yes the doctor goes looks like you're mentally ████ how do you take that something tells me he's not telling the person who's ████ oh here's how you relate it so so you got you're smart if you cause if you're like you're gay you can actually be gay and be homosexual but you can also use it um and be like oh that's so gay so it just depends on the way that you're using yeah intention and context which the world doesn't ████ get any bar [Laughter]
1:42 you can't use medical terms like like what um another one is I think hermaphrodite when you're it's like it's called like intersex or something now you can't say hermaphrodite I learned hermaphrodite in biology when you have both who says it who says that though um True Lies True Lies because some creatures are actual hermaphrodites they got both yeah What creatures like a seahorse yeah like if there's a population if there's too many uh females then some of the females would convert into males whoa oh and vice versa there's a school of fishies like that too when the when they're all uh when they balance out their population by like being like I know there's too many girls in this room well don't worry about that and then some of the girls turn into Boys what Happened on Jurassic Park when life
2:32 finds a way nice nice I think earthworms are also hermaphrodites something like that am I allowed to say that I think that's why you can't say it is because it it misrepresents the culture that the culture of earthworms well no but like you know if it's not it's like calling us Oriental it's like that's not right that's still funny before I knew Oriental was a bad thing I thought it was so cool because my friend was a part of this group called The Oriental bad boys and I was like oh you Oriental bad boy are you sure it was Oriental or the bad boy part no I mean I think the descriptor is good yeah dude if there was no negative word for Oriental right I would rather be Oriental than Asian because Asian just
3:23 sounds Oriental it's like oh it's like Oreo I love Oreos the sound is like the association because a it sounds like it is you know like orientals like Oreo I love Oreos and lentils I must like you Oreo lentils yeah I don't know I mean that's like that's how they came up with Google it's easy to pronounce it that's true that's true that must be the thing it's like they're trying to get rid of the negative connotation but it's gonna keep changing dude so do you think that there's like a scientific term for it and then Society takes it puts a negative connotation and then they go oh ████ we gotta change it
4:14 up now that's what happens all the time with words yeah that's like that's like when we use girl as an insult like oh don't be such a girl you know and then girls don't like that Mr Miyagi said that yeah don't be okay or I guess I guess in present day it's like a Karen nowadays yeah now nobody's name anybody can because that's like the wrong way it was a name and then people put an association and then people get offended and it's ████ up or how everybody named their daughter like Daenerys and then the season finale came out and everyone's like ████ she's An ancestry no no what happened to the finale I watched the finale but it made me go I'm not even gonna go there anymore Bart really because he probably didn't feel that the ending of Game of Thrones I thought I thought Daenerys is a great name right it wasn't like that no but then like the Jon Snow and the Daenerys reveal what about it now regardless of the no I
5:04 wanted him to ████ no matter what yeah yeah I wasn't mad at them ████ which isn't the point of this conversation it was just more the idea of like her being the hero but then actually heard not being the hero by the end but you like imagine you named your daughter after a hero well that's what you get but then at the end it's written that she's not quiet that's your fault for naming the mid-season that's what I'm saying I didn't know Walter White was gonna be like that yeah well he was like that in the middle of the first season but he's still there that guy I didn't know he was gonna ████ be a meth dealer he seemed like a nice man in first he was just a chemistry teacher in the beginning it tells you that in the first episode yeah he's already running around his underwear I didn't know that was a premise uh it's kind of like the word gay like that didn't originally mean homosexual I meant Happy a lot of people used it but now you say that you sound gay yeah yeah there's Christmas songs with gay in it yeah we're gonna have a gale time
5:55 I was feeling gay and ████ what was the word we're all hap we're being married yeah gay and married yeah let's be hella gay I don't think they had hella in the of the new versions Yeah Christmas songs words do change all the time like like there's like like words that are profane and whatever and then you you read them and you're like that means nothing to me yeah like bloody like they say that ████ in the UK oh bloody hell it's supposed to be a bad word and I'm like no this means nothing I like that and I'm like intent and context means everything yeah because like someone if they went like even like looked you up and down you might as well say ████ you to me you know yeah that's for Asian yeah me to hear the actual ████ ing Sky despises me when people are talking ████ in their native tongue you
6:45 can kind of know that they're talking ████ but you're like yeah I don't care what you're saying because I don't understand it's true yeah yeah language is a ████ though like the idea of like you were just saying that that when it's in my mind right now like when somebody goes like but it's like from their culture it could mean something like that right like the f word uh versus like uh all the Chinese people that always go like ████ ████ ████ you know what I mean um which please don't use that as a sound bite you ████ out there um but the point is because it's like what the ████ did he just say knowing that you can take like language put them in the inappropriate context and turn it into something that's like offensive or abusive over like the period of time you know and clear it up right now what does that mean in Mandarin it really means just like this like this uh this this literally or that you're just saying the word that's such a common word it's a
7:37 thinking word it's like us saying um um um so when they are thinking they'll [Laughter] is like like that right so the idea of like saying both of those words but then you know we all grew up with like Jay-Z songs too you know what I mean and it's like he was speaking Chinese yeah he's speaking Chinese all the time but he gets that's why he's worldwide he's famous that's why he's worldwide that's what I thought was weird is when you take the something that's not a good word in one region and you force a total foreign region to follow that I think that's ████ like when there was that uh that one a little Korean girl was like singing bounding the lyrics to Like a song and it had Nega in it and she said she was just saying and then all these people flushed her social media being like you can't say that yeah and then she had to apologize for it was
8:27 just saying like a Korean song a Korean yeah it was like or was it actually I think it was a I guess a Chinese song that had that word she was just singing along to a Chinese song but like all these people made it seem like she was doing something bad and she got super like anxiety from it because she didn't know what she did did and then she ended up issuing an apology and everybody was like why you don't even know what you're freaking saying sorry for like why would you force that yeah that's the mob dude I remember doing covid right there was this there was this trend for Chinese farmers who uh would show their cotton field and then eat their watermelon right and then they were like they were like it was like a trend like a challenge for them like they're like hey look at my Harvest and I guess cotton Farmers also like farmed watermelon too and then they didn't know about that whole racist stuff being in America so
9:17 Chinese Tick Tock was doing all this stuff and then like I guess like black Twitter got a hold of it and they're like look at these guys they're so ████ racist and there was this whole thing during lockdown where they were just like ████ these Chinese people hating black people and I was just like dude that has nothing to do with what's happening in America that's like it's just they don't even know both sides don't understand saying yeah they're just like hey look at look at my Harvest we just need good watermelon okay we just need good ████ watermelon but then there is that other dude that ████ Chinese guy that went to Africa and started a channel where he does make fun of Africans that that was what he was so set that guy on fire yeah that ████ guy dude ████ him yeah beat his ass but keep the watermelon if you understand common sense right that's you can see the intent that guy's being a
10:08 ████ dick versus a farmer that's like hey look at what I grew right and then it's like hey a lot of people grow cotton it's like what are you talking about you know I don't know it's a hot commodity it's true I mean yeah it's not it's not the culture we live in so it's kind of funny to judge it overseas this is not what we all do though yeah it's because we're so ████ bored and we go against easy targets internet you can hide behind the keyboard and say whatever you want how do you guys feel on on this there was this um Tick Tock video some dancers in the community um there's this girl she's white and she had some African-American friends um and they were doing like this little dance and the songs you know it's a rap song saying some stuff and people just like started tearing her apart but she's like dancing with her friends there was no she wasn't trying to be offensive at all what were they what were they
10:58 complaining about I don't know like the song said monkey in it and they're like doing like it was like a tick tock dance that was really popular but she was with her friends everyone was doing it um she's obviously not racist um you know she just has some friends and people just started ████ on her like crazy I feel like it's so hard like I don't even I don't even put any bad words in my stuff because I don't want it to be perceived the wrong way yeah I mean she wasn't singing the song no she was dancing to a song that already exists yeah with her friends the dance was already there um so but people still she had to apologize was she good at the dance though yeah she's firing so I feel like dances is going through that more now than ever where it's like oh like you're not you can't use hip-hop you're Asian like you'll see that every now and then you're like you ████ kidding like tell Michael Jai White to take his ghee
11:49 off yeah bro no more shuttlecon karate it just sucks because none of the people none of the people tell Bruce Leroy to stop doing Kung Fu It's gotta go both ways man you guys can't have comfort we actually got a lot of ████ for that little kinjaz yeah kinja's got a lot of uh ████ for that doing the pandemic at the at the rise of that how do you feel about that just the idea tell Iverson a stop playing for China then undo everything you want to have a divorce it's not it shouldn't happen on any side because the people who ████ made hip-hop the whole idea was that everyone could do it so it's kind of ████ weird that now we're at this age and it's like people are taking over and gatekeeping it all of a sudden yeah gatekeeping is the worst huh yeah let everyone enjoy it all plus it's the thing that you have to you have to be good at it and like what I didn't think was fair is that like okay I'm gonna start doing this thing that was created by black communities and
12:41 then sustained by uh Puerto Rican communities and it came all the way to ████ here I still have to beat those guys I still have to be better than them I still have to like win my way up I'm not just doing it and now I ████ get paid so you battled against like you you battle against Puerto Ricans you have to gain respect like anything you battle against everyone but that's the whole specific people it's not it's not an entry level thing where you can just start doing it now you're the ████ king of it it's like yeah no at the same time you have to earn respect little by little but most of you suck people don't give you ████ but the people that are saying this ████ they weren't even alive no these things got it's like the new gen and that's trying to be hella walked but they don't quite understand all of the ████ that went down during Civil Rights and all that and then when they talk about culture vulture ████ like they don't even know the difference between appreciation and appropriation and then like even if we're talking
13:31 about appropriation too like that's a really difficult thing to objectively Define yeah like we can kind of guess it like yeah if someone's exploiting something or like making a profit yeah I could kind of see it but like it still really extremely hard to Define what that thing is exactly like and I always give this example too because like yeah I'm a Japanese dude and if I opened up a Ramen Shop with no experience people would think like oh it's authentic and I can fool the public but there are non-japanese that you know dedicate their lives to a craft like making sushi or Ramen or whatever right and then they might want to open up their restaurant and they're probably way more authentic than I am but then people will look at them and be like oh look at this fraud look at this culture vulture but he did way more due diligence I just busted out some top
14:22 ramen packs and just ████ boys yeah and then maybe I don't even speak Japanese but guess what hey they're gonna believe me more than him yeah because I can't say nothing to you yeah so who's the right one I don't know I think you are I am I think you are because I have birth right I don't think there should be color lines between anything that somebody made like what what if Chinese people borrowed us from using their Tech can you imagine how much ████ we can't do okay we couldn't do this no math for you yeah that's their Tech nah but my number one thing about the desk video and all a lot of the people that are are supporting that ████ idea of who are they you I mean there's no reason to put them out the only way I want names is you gotta ████ walk into the room and go they're like you act more ████ Asian
15:12 like fine I'll be my own culture then I'll ████ walk into the room like this I want to bring this back I've seen dudes talk about uh how Asians shouldn't aren't allowed to do hip-hop and they go and teach in Asia and they'll go and teach in Switzerland and say white people can't do hip-hop and I'm like stop teaching them well if Asian people can't do it they got to teach with them they gotta import it from overseas well yeah at the end it all comes down to money it's like you know it really is just kind of like a a really weird who you know double-edged sword in terms of like perspective right it's like I remember people might randomly give us ████ for like dancing like Kendrick Lamar but also remember like being super inspired the four ████ Chinese outfit exactly he was kung fu Ken he did an entire creative expression off of like Kung Fu and Asia black people love Kung Fu they do and
16:04 they're good at it and wait but he hired will never get mad at it we love it we love it honestly it's sick the only dudes I know that actively do kung fu right now are all black dudes and the Wu-Tang Clan owes us licensing fees and we learned Kung Fu from two white guys but but we'll never win that argument in America that's the craziest part you know what I'm saying so it's like this is what's crazy to me though like when you're okay it's um in America that ████ is sensitive right when you're in that country like for example Japan they love it when tourists come and they put on kimonos and put on the clothes and eat the food because they're just like oh they love our shoes they're like they're giving us business right and I made this like I was thinking about this like with this whole like culture like appropriation shaming ████ it's actually
16:54 hurting a lot of communities and businesses because if you think about Chinatown right that used to be a tourist spot where people that didn't have enough money to go to China they can experience the culture and they can go to Chinatown and then what do people do when they go there they buy The Umbrellas they buy the like the the outfit they buy the merch they buy the merch but now you you don't see any any white folks really buying the merch because they're afraid that they're gonna be like blamed or whatever and then you see all these like little Chinese grandmas desperate to ████ sell their ████ and now the community is like losing money right because like like everyone's afraid to be racist and ████ yeah but Joe my culture is not your prom dress that's what pisses me off because these stupid ████ and here's the thing is most Asian Asians are not going to town and buying all those clothes anyway so but they're the ones complaining hurting their own ████
17:46 communities and businesses and I'm like this is the stupidest ████ ever dude like what about the folks that are out there trying to create like jobs in that community and you're hurting it because now the tourism isn't coming there so I'm like how do you I don't know it's just stupid all I know is the top selling Kung Fu song of all time is a bunch of black dude that ████ is dope yeah and they love it and that gets me hyped that they love kung fu you know even when we were just talking about Elon Musk and like verified Twitter and stuff like that what is kind of cool about in that connection is the idea that uh less keyboard Warriors would be around if everybody was verified too right like because you wouldn't be willing to talk ████ or or be the person on the front line if it was like an actual person could be held accountable as well yeah but when you're just a ████ digital account and nobody can
18:37 go back and Trace you and you if you click their profile they're like a private account or nobody follows them it's kind of like of course you're a keyboard Warrior you really can stand behind a line of digital yeah most keyboard Warriors are people with Burner accounts they're cowards because they can't show who they are they're afraid exactly but like how many people would do that if it was like their ████ actual digital profile and like where they live and all that thing you know what I mean it's like you wouldn't be spreading hate as quickly there are some people though that are verified and famous that will still say the same exact ████ that is that is always up for debate because like people are gonna have opinions but but if you can at least be like I'm still willing to say this and this is who I am yeah I actually respect that I would get credit for a lot because it's like hey you're willing to talk your ████ you're willing to criticize others you're you're willing to stand behind your words and people know who you are to me that's even if I disagree with what they have
19:28 to say or what they're perpetuating I'm like that takes a lot of guts like good for you but when you're hiding behind a burner account and you just want to harass people talk ████ do whatever is I'm like you're a little ████ like how horrible is your life that you have to do this that should just be disqualified from the discussion every time totally but then yeah when I did point out so that video of that girl that was just singing and was it super innocent and I posted like a comment on there being like yeah that's not fair to do and then a bunch of like people try to make it an anti-blm thing that I said that what and I was like how I really didn't get it and a lot of those people that were talking ████ to me were actually like established verified people that were like really pissed at the fact that I was supporting that she it might have just been momentum of that time too right because like with those people for sure say the same you know nowadays especially after like all the BLM stuff
20:19 that went down you know what I mean like I think everything is like contextual to that the the fervor of society in that moment even blm's crazy because speaking of momentum pre-2020 I always knew it as Bureau of Land Management and then all of a sudden because if you're in the if you're in like hunting and shooting an off-roading Community you look for BLM all the time you love BLM you want BLM to be everywhere yeah because it just means you can go into the white Wilderness and go camp you do all these fun things with BLM Bureau of Land Management now the the new BLM is different than the BLM Island which is land of all these fun places and I'll build them's all like grumpy and stuff words changing now I hear those three letters and it feels grumpy it feels like they're mad at you yeah you're like I don't even do
21:09 anything why are you mad I've been supporting I'm on your team yeah did you see like BLM members were suing BLM like leaders because they burned like tens of millions of dollars that the people were donating and it didn't even go to the families that they say that it was gonna support or black organizations like it just went to a lot of their friends running like I mean lgbtq things and then like that wasn't even gonna help the black community and then like and then like they they got audited and they just bought a hell of mansions and stuff like that in white neighborhoods yeah in white neighborhoods that they're afraid to live amongst it's funny because that's that's no different like welcome to the land of nonprofit corruption that's everything yeah non-profit yeah like you become a non-profit it's gonna happen especially with the money that
21:59 they made so stop being a dick that's true [Music]
