0:00 There is a doll toy that's going viral uh in China and I'm going to show it to you and I would like you to act like you don't know why. >> Because it's Native American. >> Is it like a haunted doll or something? >> No. It's not a haunted doll. >> It's because it's racist. >> You think it's because it's racist? Really? >> It's got to be. >> No way. Why? >> Because it's all black babies. >> Wait, wait. To be fair though, to be fair, I would need to see like the other babies in the lineup of their products. >> [laughter] >> Okay. Okay, dude. >> I thought it was like all black babies. >> Just trying to see more babies. Okay. >> Yeah, because if it Yeah, if they only exclusively sell black babies, that's funny. That's funny. >> What's funny about it? A black baby business? >> What if they're just a manufacturer? >> I want to see who's buying the product. >> to see who designed it and who bought
0:50 it. >> British people cuz it's all in pounds. >> I'm glad you asked because that is a key component into why this is going uh viral and why it's being banned. And it's actually really, really funny. >> [laughter] >> Yeah, it's got to be. >> So, here's the context just for you guys to know. >> Natasha has been banned in schools across China. Sales have recently skyrocketed. >> It's [laughter] smoking a cigarette? >> People aren't buying it to play with it gently. They're not keeping it as a pristine collector's item, either. Instead, they've been creating videos of it thrown, stabbed with needles, filled with water, >> WHAT THE ████ >> [laughter] >> WHAT? WHAT? >> BEING PRESSURED BY FAMILY members to get married. So, he purchased the doll and named it Natasha. In Chaozhou dialect, Natasha sounds like trash can. taking it to parks and making videos about everyday life with the doll. Then, his mother grabbed the doll and threw it on the ground and he yelled, "Natasha!"
1:42 And the clip went viral. Other people started creating >> and creating their own Natasha videos with some taking the joke in increasingly extreme directions. More people posted it and it had >> Yo! >> sales exploded. It stopped being funny. >> What [laughter] the ████ >> version versus the toy with the higher price version showing more than 10,000 sales. What the ████ [laughter] >> So they're just yeeting this thing? >> So they're yeeting it because that one viral video of the throwing it on the ground and it flattened out and it goes, "Natasha!" That went viral, so now everyone wanted to do the same thing. And they're just creatively destroying and messing with this baby doll. >> But the original was this, right? Like the original reason was like it's just normal. Like it's just a baby doll. >> Oh, the intended reason. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a Stretch Armstrong.
2:32 >> [laughter] >> Dude, they're making the thing swallow iPhones and ████ is funny as ████ man. That's crazy. [laughter] >> Oh my god. >> To turn it into a iPad case, though. [laughter] >> This is too good. The I The poetry of the world. >> Right. >> This is just like, okay, from our side, from like the really, really, really like the >> [laughter] >> the really naive Western eye, right? >> Okay, yeah. >> going to fuel the race war in such a terribly funny way. >> They're already ████ CALLING CHINESE RESTAURANTS and ordering ████ and saying ████ Chinese. >> But this is just so ridiculous. >> Well, the funny thing is that so who the people that are banning it, it's not like the country's banning the doll. It's just the schools are banning kids from bringing it. >> In China? >> Yeah, so in China. So it's not that it's it's racist, it's that it's distracting to the probably their studies.
3:22 >> So like the OG thing was probably like it's a cute black baby and it's like a it's like a trend, right? >> make all the colors of the babies. That ████ the black one's just the one that went viral. >> Oh, there's other ethnic babies? >> Yeah. Every kind you want. >> Yeah, but they're all trying to buy Natasha. >> But Natasha's the one they want. >> The most popular one is Natasha. >> They want the black one, man. >> I get it. It's like >> Cuz they want to throw it. >> [laughter] >> Him throwing clearing the the roof. >> That one in the guy's spiking off the ground. [laughter] Jesus Christ. >> You know You know this is why I say poetry, idiot. All right? On the one hand, on this side, that's like just going to just it's pulling it more apart. It's just such a war. Like people are going to get pissed at this for a almost totally credible reason, right? >> Their instant ramen baby. Oh my god. That's like a bullfrog.
4:13 Holy smokes. >> But then you know on the other side of the world, right? It's like China and Africa are this right now. Like the actual mainland China, actual Africa are like this. Mainly because like I don't know, China's loaning them like a hundred billion dollars and stuff like that. So they're like 32 building their infrastructure and then holding them accountable for the debt. But that's also why they're all ████ over there and like more babies. You know what I'm saying? >> Yeah, you're getting a lot of mixies. >> Yeah, so the the actual combination of Africa and China on one side is this. And then ████ like this happens and then that the product on this side and us talking about it. >> This is just too crazy. >> Also, do you think they're trying to like stoke or or trying to avoid causing friction? >> No, I actually think it's That's why I think it's so ironic. They don't even know how RACIST IT IS. >> OH, I think it just happens and like you
5:03 can't write this ████ up. >> you make something this funny so boring sounding? >> [laughter] >> Like you're not You're white. You're not allowed to speak in this video. >> Okay. All right. >> Okay, white not right. >> fair. >> You guys remember in China when um >> [snorts] >> there was this viral trend for a lot of farmers there to show their harvest. And then there was like this one There would be a trend where like cotton farmers would also have watermelon and they're eating watermelon, right? And then the American black community was like, "These ████ Chinese people in China are ████ WITH US LIKE THAT?" But they didn't know that a lot of cotton farmers in China seasonally also do watermelon. So, they ████ want to show how big their cotton is in their watermelon. So, you have all these guys
5:54 dancing with cotton and watermelon and eating their harvest and being like, "Look how ████ dope my farm is." And then like all these black people are looking at this like, "F███ these Chinese people." And then they're making like response Tik Toks like ████ ching chong ching chong. And I was like, "Dude, like you got all these black people mad and they have no idea what they just did." >> Yeah, because also it it's so funny to assume that Chinese farmers even know American history like that. Like they they know the sensitivity. >> They don't know that ████ They don't care. >> That's so offensive that you don't think that Chinese farmers are educated. >> think they gave a ████ Chinese farmers could barely read Chinese. >> You know what's more funny again in the irony of it that we Chinese people also got that vocab which is basically the N-word. So, imagine them also saying that. Like, come on, dude. That's >> That's literally >> That's a trifecta.
6:44 >> Yeah. >> That's that's what That's what the videos are, yeah. That's what the videos are. >> No, that happened in the video cuz they were saying that word cuz it means that. So, they're like, "Look at this. Look at that. Look at this." So, then people are like, "They're saying the N-word. They're saying that they're talking about us." >> So, you don't think a a single one of those videos was someone doing it on purpose and going, "I didn't know." >> No, cuz I don't think Asians know that there's a stereotype of black people with watermelon. >> That's like the farmer who doesn't know. That like that's the farmer who doesn't know what he's doing. I think there's one guy who knew what he was doing. I think everyone else did it, but I'm sure one guy was like >> No one in Asia knows that stereotype. >> Dude, they know. The whole world knows about America's stupid history. >> they know the details like watermelon and and cotton? >> They don't know about watermelon. >> They might be on like the Dave Chappelle
7:34 show right now. Like it's hitting them for the first time. You don't know. >> It hit them for the first time. You don't know. >> Like the beam just traveled in that direction. >> Wait, so is that is that a real thing that dude how do Chinese people even get aware of like what American foundational black Americans care about? >> All I know is that every country, everywhere that I go, they're aware to some extent that America is the most racist country in the world and our racial problems are >> China thinks America is the most racist country in the world? >> Yeah, because it's different. >> I don't think [laughter] so. >> Being racist, right? Or understanding objectively like how like different races act, operate, their stereotypes, whatever, when you're a monolith type of culture or country is different than us warring with each other. They can be collectively racist about something, but us arguing with each other about race
8:24 all the time is like you guys don't understand race. You're supposed to be racist outwards to other countries, but you guys got too many problems in there. Race is your problem. Race is our problem. Other people are racist. >> Wait, so they do think America's racist or they don't think it's racist? >> They everybody knows that race is one of our number one problem. >> I heard opposite. >> Yeah. >> People go America's where everyone is working together and they're just Americans. >> I thought China just thinks we're ████ dumb, not that we're racist. >> Racism comes with stupidity. >> Racism in America is like our crux. Whether or not they could use it to their advantage. >> But does that look like racism to them? The what the ████ that we're doing in America? That I feel like they think that's ████ nothing. >> I haven't heard from Chinese people say that, but I can only speak from Japanese fobs and they think that we are all like united. They have no ████ idea.
9:15 >> I think he's literally backing up my ████ claim right now. >> How is he backing it up? >> They think we're all united. >> Okay, but you said that they think we're the all the most racist people ever. >> How is that backing up the racist? >> I don't know if you guys understand where I'm where I'm coming from with this. I'm just saying we have the top racial issues in like in terms of us not being able to come together and fix things. Racial issues are problems that like come into our politics and our government. Racial issues are the way we are reasons why we go to war with each other in terms of >> But average people don't think like that. >> Yeah, I thought that because America has so much like China can see America trying to fix all these racial issues. >> I'm merely saying when I go to other countries, other people say that they understand that America has a racial problem. >> Okay, but that's not racism. >> I'm Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody's race is
10:05 >> Like a country being racist is like Japan. >> [laughter] >> Not making sure that there's like a a mono-ethnic culture. >> They're like, "We know we're racist. You guys are trying to make it work." >> They just think we're squabbling to squabble. >> Yeah, but they're Americans. >> But they think that we're stupid for doing this, right? >> Exactly. Yeah, because we're counterproductive and we're losing the war on on tech and medicine everything. >> Yes. >> But then that's to say that if we're racist, we're the ones mad at other countries for being racist. >> Yeah, well, that's our white ladies. >> Like uh when when someone in Australia does blackface, like America's more pissed. >> Yeah, true. >> I'll show you some real racism. Check out ████ toothpaste. >> I remember that one. Yeah. >> That's been a brand in Japan for a long time. >> So, there's like a misconception about this because people see that ████ toothpaste and they they reference this
10:56 like uh satire show >> The minstrel, yeah. >> that had it. >> Yeah. >> But they So, then they think it wasn't real. >> Yeah. >> Uh but it's the that satire show was actually referencing the real one. So, it is real and they changed the name later to Darlie. But this is ████ toothpaste. >> Yep. >> Pretty wild. >> Well, [snorts] is that American too? Did they have that or is that in Japan? >> I don't know. >> Oh, well, either way Oh, like that's yeah. Cuz that was a popular brand like like I remember going out there going, "What the ████ That's crazy." >> Yeah, people definitely remember seeing it and stuff. >> That's Thai. What the >> That's anytime this comes up anywhere on social media, you have people arguing that it's it's from a TV show that's fake. Because the TV show made fun of it and has a commercial. It has a fake commercial for it. >> Well, I don't know the history, but it
11:46 was crazy. >> Who and Japanese people made it. The Jitsukawa family created it. We have a lot of stock in that company. I was pretty upset when they turned it to Darley. >> That's like Aunt Jemima, dude. Isn't she just Isn't she just like they they just totally ditched her, right? >> They ditched her, yeah. Yeah. They >> There's no more Aunt Jemima? >> But it was it was to the disagreement of the family responsible, I believe, for the yeah. >> I remember that. It's like when the Washington Redskins changed their name and then like that family of the Indian that it was based off of was pissed. >> They're like now they're the Washington Foreskins. >> But I mean, if you think about it, it's it's one of those things where like if a brand I feel like if a brand has an out to like detach themselves from another entity, like why wouldn't they do it rather than just keep paying royalties to somebody that, you know, >> 1,000%. >> For sure. >> It's a ████ great out, you know?
12:36 Like Papa John's, of course they ████ love to detach from a person and just be a company. It's private equity dream. >> I think Asians are the most racist people in the world, but doesn't come with hate. >> I think Papa John's the most racist person in the world.
