0:00 I think we can make fun of it, but then it's just that the other people that can't make fun of it see us doing it and they're like, "Oh, I guess it's fine." Well, there's there's people that don't know us, right? And and how tight our friend group is, right? And and then just cuz they see like a white dude here, they'll be like, "You're all performing for him to get acceptance." AND I'M ALL LIKE >> [laughter] >> DID YOU GUYS SEE THIS? YES. This is pretty crazy right now. ████ idiots, Right? So, Finland's Prime Minister has apologized. >> What's happening? Hey, look at top right though. Top right guy. >> Top right guy. He's doing extra. >> Top right's nailing it. Nailing it. >> Top right's doing audio, like he's doing the accents. What's he doing with his mouth? >> HE'S PROBABLY GOING >> [laughter] >> WHAT THE ████ IS WRONG WITH THESE
0:51 PEOPLE? Like wait Who do you think looks the most Asian here though? What? >> Man. Top left actually is probably like a quarter quarter Asian. What's the context? >> doesn't even look Asian at all. Top left also looks like she was that one thing in Men in Black. Oh, yeah. For sure. So, check this out. The guy who's like Yeah. Uh so, Finland's Prime Minister has apologized to Asian nations for offensive social media posts made by former Miss Universe contestant and several members of Parliament. Her name is Sara Dizzazi. Nailed it. You There's nobody can say this last name unless you live in ████ Finland, okay? Um she posted a picture online in social media this month of her pulling the corners of her eyes along the caption eating with a Chinese person. Yeah. So, that's the first That was the first defense. >> What the ████ is going THESE ARE ALL POLITICIANS? NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. SO,
1:42 THAT'S that's the Miss Universe person did it first and then got her title taken away because of it. In solidarity, they protested by doing this. >> Several members of far-right Finns Party posted similar images of themselves making the same gesture in a show of solidarity. So, the Miss Universe person [laughter] >> This is their fist IN THE AIR? OH MY GOD. THAT'S THEIR TIKI TORCH. YEAH, EXACTLY. It's the dumbest ████ ever. I stand with you. What the ████ >> It's so stupid. It's got to be the silliest, dumbest thing. But like what I don't get is they're still they're not apologizing. The Prime Minister is apologizing on their >> So, that's like Biden apologizing on on on behalf of Trump. Exactly. Or on behalf of like members of Congress. >> Or what Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who are against him politically. >> Right. Exactly. Yeah. >> Very strange. Uh but yeah, that What the ████ is this? >> Dude, it's so dumb, dude.
2:33 >> You know what's You know what's funny though is like I feel like Asians always get like it's they're they're a pass. Like Like we could step on these ████ >> Yeah, of course. They'll never do this with black. Ever. They're so afraid. Like black people >> Unless unless it's like a talent show. It sounds like Joe's asking them to. >> Joe, if you're really down, you would do it for either Jewish or black. But right now I think people are even getting a pass for Jews right now. So, I'm like You know what is You know what's interesting though is like when Asians get pissed off, their clapback is very financial and very covert. I know they have seen a lot of karate movies, too. There's There's that. >> there's violence, too? No, I think I think they have really good long game like we don't like you now. Yeah, they're like Certain like economic things change under the under the radar. Mhm. I think they're good at that.
3:23 >> [laughter] >> I'll never sell you gunpowder ever again. Because clapping back online doesn't really do much. Exactly. That's what I mean. Yeah. There's just not enough progress. I understand the the um I don't know the nobilism in standing up for it, but like it doesn't make Yelling back doesn't do anything. You have to hit them with systemic racism. But there's a lot of Asians out there who feel like we don't clapback enough and we don't get respect. >> in the in the same style. That's I agree. Yeah, 100%, but they don't see that cuz you take the higher route. You're like, "Okay, I destroy your family in the background." >> [laughter] >> Because that Asian person that's like complaining about that is not in a position of power to take away jobs. Oh, so they're like, "This is how we fight back." >> Yeah, because when you go on Reddit, it's a different story because there's no identities and people start telling
4:13 their real ████ and they'll be like, "I'm a contractor with 30 years experience and I purposely don't hire certain races because of ████ that happens in the media." It's like that. Like that's the clapback you don't want and that's infinitely more damaging than just someone yelling back. It's like that guy is now building bus and changing people's lives financially by choice certain certain colors. That's crazy. That's the That's the one you don't want, right? I have to do a quick fact check, unfortunately, guys. Um because we had a member of our show say the word nobilism. Nobilism is in fact not a word. >> [laughter] >> Who's Oh, he He He He was trying to say nobility? Yeah, I think he's trying to say nobility, but he said nobilism, which is not a word. That's not a word. Just Joe. Joe said it. >> Oh. >> [laughter] >> Joe's looking around. It wasn't Joe, but it was somebody on the green couch. Did you understand what it meant? I understood what you were getting at, but I was very confused. Yeah, so I had
5:03 >> That's because you're an idiot. >> [laughter] >> It's almost like idiotism. You think I haven't looked that up too here? The fact you're fact-checking only him. >> [laughter] >> Hey, you know what's funny though? Have you seen Finnish people? Like they have Asian eyes. Like some of them actually has no fold. Yeah. I don't even know >> There's a lot of Scandinavians that have like they look hapa. They look cuz they're like They got like in some indigenous genes and ████ >> Maybe that's why they felt that like it was a pass to do that. They're like, "We pass." [laughter] >> How do you guys feel when Asian people do that? I think it's ████ funny. >> It's like black people using the N-word. It's funny. >> Is Is that synonymous? Because I remember [laughter] I was doing that in a JK video one time and somebody It was with It was with Gucci. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We were all doing it. We were each >> Yeah, we're just having fun and you know, it's it's whatever. I'm obviously
5:53 Chinese, Vietnamese. Like I have Asian eyes. I'm doing it. Somebody gets in the comments and they're just kind of like, "You know, that's like perpetuating the wrong thing." And I'm like, "That's really That's really tough." Like because we every ethnic group, every race has a wrong thing. If we ourselves can't make fun of it, then it'll always be a serious problem. I think we can make fun of it, but then it's just that the other people that can't make fun of it see us doing it and they're like, "Oh, I guess it's fine." Well, there's there's people that don't know us, right? And and how tight our friend group is, right? And and then just cuz they see like a white dude here, they'll be like, "You're all performing for him to get acceptance." And I'm all like >> [laughter] >> I guess he's our older Yeah. We're just We just want to be accepted so badly by white privilege, you know? I've always wanted to be liked
6:43 by Steve. I'm like, "Do you have no friends?" Cuz when you have friends, you ████ make fun of each other, you make fun of yourself, you make fun of them. It's like I think Steve heads get it though. There's a lot of Steve heads watching this who get it. There's not a lot of Steve heads. >> No, there's a lot of Steve heads, believe me. I was at Costco. This guy was like major Steve head, dude. Big time Steve head. I was like, "Nice to meet you." Do you usually the Costco workers? >> Yeah, Costco people. Yeah. They love me. But also when sometimes Asian people do this, I'm like, "Did you need to do that?" Yeah, cuz you could just point at it. >> Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like when I do it, I'm like, "Oh, but it's already like that." Did you guys ever get offended by the me Chinese me play joke me put pee pee in your Coke thing when we were all in like first grade? >> I don't remember. >> I heard it from a Chinese kid. Yeah, me, too. I just thought it was a funny thing to say. But again, like you can do that, but there's consequences. It's just like everything. Let's have an honest conversation. Who here was offended when
7:33 you saw all those Finnish PMs or or people doing that? Who was offended? You better be. Yeah, ally. >> I got you. I'm an ally, but Yeah, I wasn't offended. Yo, so like how did How did you How did you feel about that? Like why were you offended? I just want to know. There's no wrong wrong answer. I wasn't going to say a wrong answer. Why are you nervous? A little bit. Uh yeah, I didn't like it. Yeah, because it it if if Steve done it, it's fine. Wha- Okay. No, no, no. Be- It's not my style. Uh okay. But that's what I'm saying, but it's like the You don't They probably don't have it. I don't I think a lot of people who does that, they don't even know Asian culture. They never had Asian food and then you just do it. It's like Yeah. Okay. So, you're saying like This is a friend. This is a friend, right? If he ████ with us, we have rapport. It's chill. These guys, we
8:25 don't know their intent. We don't know if they actually just ████ hate Asians and they're doing it cuz they think it's like, you know, ching chong ching chong ████ you. Or we don't know like we don't know the context behind it. So, so so so Kiff first be offended, but like what if Steve, who has rapport with us, he does it, somebody else sees him doing it out of context and they're just like we don't know his intent. We don't know if he's got Well, we do get in trouble for that because we're so close here that we forget the camera's on and then it's like, "Oh, how can you be doing that with a white guy around?" But it's like everyone if you have friends and you have multicultural friends, everyone does ████ like this without cameras. I remember many years ago cuz you guys know that I'm very sarcastic and dry and like stupid. Thank you. And so, I was in a video with Timmy real quick and I was doing the character of the white guy who does the Asian small dick joke.
9:16 And I was just doing that in his vlog real quick and they were just They thought I was that guy in the comments, which I loved. >> Yeah, which you will never correct. >> Right, I would never correct it. I'll tell this I'll tell the story years later on a random video that nobody will ever know about, but like that to me is funny cuz these people do think that I'm that guy and I like that. Yeah, it's like every street interview that you've done or you talked to the ████ the Baptist church. It's like the characters you're being are completely that guy. It's fun. It's just fun for me. I was wearing American flag tie, stuff that I would never actually wear on ironically, but yeah. >> Your face look like you would do that. >> [laughter] >> And that's that's what I like about it. >> Also have an American flag type of logo that you would >> Dude, yeah, I'm I'm a ████ Indiana white. I mean like that that's what you would expect. But yeah. But I think on the flip side, that's also another rapport like thing too because like if
10:07 they knew your character, they knew what type of like style you do, right? They know like oh, that's just Steve Green. Yeah. That's true. The people who know me know that, but I don't care if they don't know me and they think that. Yeah, because there's no context, right? So I think that's kind of the the whole game here is like I don't ████ know you. Like don't do that ████ Yeah. But even if you don't know me, you you know of Asian culture. Nobody would ever know, but if you do know it and the food and stuff like that, then if you do it, it's fine. Yeah. Yeah. >> That's what makes that So they eat ramen and they go ching ching chong. I'm like very good. That's why that's just bad global IQ for being members of parliament. Like you're not just a a group of people in a podcast. You're supposed to be a part of the government and that's connected to a global situation. Now why are you doing that ████ >> I think it's because like so if they're
10:57 nationalists, right? And they're going to push back, they're going to like we'll do some like mild racist ████ that people won't fight back to show how tough we are. We make a stance. And I think that's the the thing that I think is hella gay cuz it's kind of like well, I'm not going to say the N-word cuz it's too far, but I'm going to say like hmm maybe like ████ cuz it's acceptable cuz I'm bad. And that's that's what I see this as. Yeah, but you're not even allowed to be a full nationalist until you have trade locked down or you're not asking for ████ from other Asian countries. That's why I think it's just stupid. It's just not smart. If your if your national costume or whatever is this kind of ████ you can't make fun of anybody. Like that's crazy. >> He's going skiing though. It's I don't care what he's doing, dude. But I actually think if you do get offended, it's it's actually worse than being offended and then like telling them that's not okay. I actually think it's
11:48 worse if you're offended because that means they got to you. Yeah, they already have that part covered. >> Getting you're offended is is like beautiful for trolls, by the way. They they love it. And then so like it's not about burying it and suppressing it, right? But the people that want like the whole clap back, I think you're looking at it at at such a low level. Like the game is too like it's kind of like what you said. Actually hurt the ████ if you want to fight back. You don't just go well, I got a joke back toward you. It's like nah, bro. You going to ████ with me? I'm a ████ kill you. >> Cry at these people online, you are literally feeding their souls. Like they want that. That's why they did this. Yeah, so they could laugh at you and be like haha, I hurt your feelings. That's why even though people like within the neckbeard community complains that Asians don't clap back enough, I think Asians are the scariest people to ████ with that way because they're the ones that silently rise and leave you behind
12:39 in your own in your own community. So I think you should probably not do that. >> But short term short term [laughter] it hurts. Long term is great. Well, yeah, but maybe do both. I don't know. Oh, what do you mean? Do both? >> [laughter] >> Yeah, so clap back and destroy them? And destroy hit them with the hit them with the white stuff. Let's have both. When you're when you're sitting here and you're going like yeah, I was offended by that, what what is your response? Oh, I have no solution. Okay, gotcha. But and also when I was offended but because I don't want to give in to the thing. So I don't I don't have a I never have usually never have a The [snorts] the reason you can't do both is because if you're the type of person that has the power to take something away, if you clap back publicly and verbally, there's now evidence that you might change something. >> No, no, no. There's two different people. >> [laughter] >> The long term the long term people is long stays quiet. And then the people that say You just have like you just
13:30 have dogs that just like sick them. All right. Two different people. But I also I think people that do feel like that, they turn it into a us versus them. Like they'll look at this and go see white people. But I'm like no, ████ idiots. Finish parliament. Like get specific. So it's all about that is like like let's let's boil it down and let's attack the ████ that are the culprits. Not like direct this energy and go you remind me of X cuz that's what happens, right? They see this and then it's like here's the most closest person that reminds me of this. So I'm going to take it out on this ████ so I don't feel like you know what I mean? So that's what ends up happening. directly to the offender, yeah. For sure. But I do believe most people are not like that though. No. Yeah. It you grow out of it. Like it's maybe funny when you're 8 years old and you're
14:20 like oh yeah, your eyes do look different than mine. Well, like that it's just fascinating sort of. But it is funny how extreme it is. It's brazen, dude. It's It's It's crazier when it's in compilation photo like a >> [laughter] >> Yeah, dude. It's crazy.
