0:00 well the gun that's just like the the the Foley guys races right right [Laughter] [Music] all right since all of us in here are the experts at judging racism yes we're gonna watch some classic racist Asian moments in cinema kind of random random that's the worst so this one is from A Christmas Story I don't know if you've ever seen that class oh I love Christmas Story there's a little scene where there's these guys at a Chinese restaurant called The Chop Suey Palace is that at the end oh hell yeah I don't
0:51 know if it's at the end I've never actually seen the movie oh you have it but there's a part where these three dudes are like waiters are singing and they make them sing like stereotypical Chinese oh I remember this one like I am siamese if you please yeah no not as bad as that Deck the Halls [Music] [Laughter] jari able is that not that bad I have an old Asian man correcting the other yeah he's like the head Mater dude whatever that's that's not racist right he's just trying to help them with their English well what it says is that like it perpetuates the idea that like oh anytime you hear of an Asian person with an accent it's supposed to be funny can it is funny
1:41 [Laughter] all accents are funny though funny though French accents are hilarious it's like Colleen how do you feel about that I feel like it's funny I mean they're all funny British accents funny yeah when you do Australians funny New Zealand no I take the hit from it's funny yeah it's all funny dude I think it's all funny but one out of ten racism that's like a one dude yeah bro yeah yeah like when when David does an African accent hilarious by the way yeah it should be said there was massive reparations for that scene when they remade Christmas Story and it's a pretty funny bit really really so it's Ken Jong in the same exact scene they remade it yeah they remade it yeah and look at
2:32 this story live expecting that what were you expecting because they think they sing it totally normal yeah yeah yeah it's like what do you mean you people it's like that right right so that's a really really good that's 10 out of 10 racism yeah that was too racist yeah oh the remix races can John's racist a James Bond movie called You Only Live Twice It's an odd job wow uh there's a scene where they make him like uh look Japanese they look Japanese wait but he's a spy though he has one on the cover yeah what if he's like super stereo it's a life-sensitive situation part of the plot though I don't know about that all
3:22 there bond is given a makeover to look Japanese so Vietnamese girl makes him look Japanese they're mad because all they did was give him bushes what do you think expert Japanese guy and they should what they should have done I think that's ████ hilarious but we're also looking at it from today's lens oh yeah she was like true movie Magic back then and also people's like um what do you call it there was much more Dumber so like it
4:12 was easy to wow them like you know to me that is like going into a disguise shop and buying the nose and glass attachment thing oh yeah you know and then like in a cartoon when you wear that everyone's like oh that's not Joe you know what I mean but then you take it off and they're like oh my God that's true right and then to me like that's that's probably like during that era they would go oh my God he looks so Japanese because they're stupid yeah like like they would have uh what's his name like like ████ David Carradine's Chinese yeah yeah right isn't he half asian though he's not huh I don't think he is I don't know yeah but that is like watching RoboCop back then and it was like mind-blowing right and then now you watch and you're like that CG is horrible it doesn't hold up looks like it's stop motion picture so Heron makeup Department team didn't have the right tools no yeah and and I would say and I
5:03 would have tape to pull his eyes back yeah they needed Scotch tape back then they only had duct tape Scotch tape exactly but uh obviously this is not a this is not a justification and not to make things all serious and ████ but like I'm also so I'm also accepting of the fact that like during that time right if they all film Evolution right it came from theater right and from theater you just played characters you wore costumes and did that stuff but also races were costumes if we look back now and go like oh yeah Minstrel stuff is bad all this stuff is bad right but during that time like it was a uh actor played a role and then you became the thing well like whether you were white or whatever like men were playing women most of the time exactly and then that's and they were
5:54 good at it better better than any woman and they nailed it so I don't know like they would get too emotional I mean yeah I mean like so so the the so the on the flip side right it's like saying it's like saying um well you should have find an Asian bond to play an Asian but I'm like we're talking about 19 freaking 60. we only had like what maybe Bruce Lee I don't even know anything you know this is where you're wrong though dude because remember in the movie Mission Impossible three Ghost Protocol Tom Cruise yeah does that right yeah he had to be a little a little bit later but it's still spy so it's the same Bart okay okay please please don't interrupt me he plays Philip Seymour Hoffman remember he has the mass yep they did the whole thing and he put it on he looked like Philip Seymour Hoffman why couldn't they do that for this movie again they didn't have the proper
6:44 personalities their makeup department but they're all spies right so stop making excuses you know what I don't like about um judging the past with the current lens they don't give homage to the uh the steps that it took to get here oh so like for me what I see is post World War II Japan and America relationships right it's like 1960 or whatever when this came out yeah ten years ago from that it was Japanese internment cats ████ Japanese kill them on the streets right and then this I see it as a film of hey we're working together now with the Japanese okay when you put it that way that's very but that's all part of the the context of social fabric of everything so it's like it's like healing the relationship
7:34 through Cinema of like here's Bond working in Japan with allies that are Japanese where the Bond movies back then British Productions technically still yeah but but Japanese was an Axis power so they would have looked at them as like the foreign threat right got it yeah yeah so it's like the Western world it's like inviting like a former enemy into the reparations kind of like James Bond the guy so before we can even get to the whole like Asian American thing like that creature today you have to first get to the healing the two Nations thing it's like footsteps it's like baby steps yes yeah you know what I never thought of that that's a really cool opinion Joe Knows history so racism zero out of ten okay zero out of two what do we think about this guy right here oh yeah oh my favorite dong they got a Gong yeah every time
8:27 the unwarranted gong sound that follows gone it's so loud that's good number five no you don't like them well they're gone that's just like the the the Foley guys races right right holy ████ [Laughter] just go crazy let's go crazy yeah what if that was Nick's dad yeah he's looking at the horse with the footsteps oh ████ God damn it we missed the Cube It's the Foley guy that's racist yeah dude that guy's racist dude well we figured that out zero out of ten
9:20 what would the sound be for other ethnicities if the Asian guy gets the gong well I don't think there's one that's synonymous what would it be a sound for white people right well we have no culture uh yeah I guess it's like it's easier when it's European right because if it's a German guy then it's like polka if it's a Scottish guy's bagpipes or something yeah yeah they do that but it's hard like I mean country music but if like what if you're like from New York it's not country yes yeah that's that's why it's hard yeah that is true all right we're gonna look at the most classic of all is that Mickey Rooney oh you bet it is this was racism pretty hardcore this one's gonna score decently High one
10:12 they say breath less they made that food extra ugly see I think James Bond needed his outfit look at this food darling I am sorry but I lost my keys it was it was wrong then see accent not very good not very good at uh so so do you think if he executed it better it wouldn't be as racist I would like less folds of the forehead why did they give them those circle glasses I feel like I met someone like that in a Little Tokyo before that it's my stupid Judo teacher yeah with defensive Asian accent and wearing a mouthpiece yeah he's just always like
11:02 blinking all the time he literally picked one of the worst I know that guy exists all right I'm not saying this but like you picked that thing to like funny you know was that this what year was that 1960 something yes please yeah yeah yeah yeah you're 1960s that says you know it's pretty racist it's that one's that one's pretty bad that's rough out of all of them that's the worst one yeah I think like for me I have a lot of leniency towards racism because uh I it depends on their intention so with James Bond he's going undercover it's driven by the plot okay and it's a horrible job but he went undercover but if you just need a Japanese neighbor you can cast a Japanese name yeah yeah you know I mean
11:53 you don't have to like oh ████ we need a German Shepherd can jump in a fursuit yeah yeah yeah get a German Shepherd to be in the movie but also too based on the character he's supposed to be like not very likable right so they play it up even more they get Mickey Rooney or whatever the ████ guy to play him and be completely over the top and obnoxious so that's where it's like all right dude what are we doing yeah that's where it came that's true because then you're taking all the undesirable traits of a stereotype right so it's like it's almost like if you had like a like a cheap Chinese landlord that was always like trying to raise the rent on you and you're just like oh you ████ ████ unless they are striking according people were like showing them something like this is gonna make people go they are like that yeah yeah yeah yeah you know what I mean like that's not fair but also if they were gonna be more
12:43 accurate I think it was a Japanese person I think they'd be way more polite oh you know what I'm saying it was a Japanese yeah bro Japanese landlord they would knock on the door and be like excuse me I'm sorry like I think they'd be more like that but if he was Taiwanese see that's that's more accurate Cantonese though yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah they just mixed up the races yeah they always do that even with long duck dog in the game of freaking Vietnam and he's supposed to be Japanese isn't he I I don't even think that's a Vietnamese name oh the actor is Japanese playing a Chinese guy with a Viet name I think is the is the meme that's not even a Vietnam um there's one there's one of them there's a long I don't think there's a dog there's no duck wait there's no dong what if it was just made up because they
13:34 think it was a funny name oh yeah there's got to be like duct tape yeah there's duck somewhere I mean that's definitely the the main gripe is that at least back then in terms when people are making Cinema and representing Asians bad leads that they're giving them the character nobody likes like oh you're the ugly guy you're the guy that won't date anybody or the nerd you're the sleazeball you're annoying you're loud you suck in the Bruce Lee movie um the biopic Dragon he walks out of the movie when he saw that so Bruce Lee he sees that scene he walks out the movie he watches breakfast activities in in the movies they portray that and he goes and he gets up and he leaves I mean he did wonders against this 100 he changed
14:25 the game yeah without Bruce we'd be in trouble yeah we've been trouble what about Donnie Yen now Tony Ann's like a modern day Bruce he's a man yeah he's a man he's pretty sick yeah he's always blind though hey dude stop being blind and moving ████ eyes at work come on bro two movies in a row he's blind wait what was the other one that he was born he was blind in Rogue one would you feel bad if it turned out he was really blind like it is old age yeah [Music] yeah I feel bad I feel bad I feel bad but it's like what a coincidence dude he's like like so okay we're talking about jungle just real quick I didn't watch it again I know but all you need to know is that Donnie Yen's in it he's great but he's blind and he does cool ████ based off him being blind which is tight and it's fun but it's also like did he need to be blind here's the thing I like the beginning how they added
15:16 certain things I'm not going to give it away for people who haven't seen it yeah there are certain techniques that he does in the beginning and I'm like okay cool that adds to his character for being blind but then throughout the movie it's just completely forgotten now he's just a God now he's just can basically see he's also like like John are you there and then also like grabbing like yeah he's doing this and then and then someone shoots a sniper shoots him and he goes yeah which what is it dude is he blood or does he have the force [Laughter] or assisted him with that but then as soon as it got towards the middle and I'm like all right well this guy's just God yeah Donna Reeves is Asian too right yeah he's something see the Asian or
16:06 Jason he's half right C there it is let's see I never noticed that that is pretty funny about uh it was funny like being deaf and then going did you guys ████ hear that all right [Music]
