0:00 [Music] Steve what's your inro again where we are very very afraid of everybody very very afraid sounds so inspired I can't wait till this goes out to the world all right so continuing off the conversation from our last one hey what is your least favorite thing about your ethnicity damn the least favorite thing about Miami genocide I think I'm with you on that don't we all have so I'll Circle back yeah they're actually is because for for Chinese they genocided themselves yeah there's a lot of genocide yeah I mean you know Japanese folks were access powers my
0:51 least oh ████ that's a tough damn my least I'm done I'll see you guys I'm going to go outside get some a no this is when you got to go in dude okay if you want to be the true white savior you got to talk about how bad white men are oh yeah yeah yeah I would say uh you got to go all in it's kind of lightweight but it's the rigid The Stereotype of how rigid Japanese folks are to the rules so like they're so like everything is about like the rules so they don't they don't know how to ████ bend and be a human a little bit so it's like hey if we're opening at between the hours of 3: to 5:00 p.m. then you better be there at ████ 3:00 p.m. exactly and they won't just they won't sway from it it won't be like 2:59 I you can come in it's like you stupid is that just really strong
1:42 discipline I don't think they understand how to think flexibly so it's just like they have these rules in place cuz it works with their whole entire system so if there's a little bit of a curveball thrown at them they just malfunction yeah which makes a really strict world so strict everything is like has to be perfect I don't like that you know what I honestly do hate about about white people right now like honestly is all this ████ lexury ████ like all over Twitter and everywhere like just stop lecturing people about every ████ thing everything's a teachable moment what's the what's the lecturing thing on Twitter and everything everything dude it's like the FYI kind of ████ about culture and like about everything yeah it's like oh just shut up or like the the whole even just like you know like Nick say white savior ████ it's like
2:32 yeah we got it dude like okay so like you're going to say the talking point for someone else because your voice is so much more eloquent or whatever you think it is right right where do you think that comes from that you're more heard it's a true honest internalized superiority thing I think like you really do think you're a better messenger for whatever the ████ it is and I think it's is that the same thing as being like the host that does like all Steve day and like doesn't ████ compliment the other host are we doing host PVP right now that's fine I'm I'm no this just discussion you know this is off the Record host PVP I've been uh I've been pretty polite to you today so that's what this video becomes about that can change no but I I I I just think I mean yeah if I do an article way better than you that's not because of my race we should do articles that's not a deeply internalized before I say
3:22 something no it's because before I say something I don't have to say 5 6 S8 in my head that has nothing to do with the race just you know profession based yeah okay okay I'm going to go cry now oh you know what I didn't like about white people this is my own uh this is my own personal experience for what I don't know if the Next Generation had this but uh I didn't I felt like there was a a very strong dividing line between Filipino Americans and like fobs which is like I'm sure that happens all the time but it was very much like a uh you just wanted so badly not to be considered a fob like you made fun of the other guys that had Filipino accents that were here which I think is like naturally that's
4:13 going to happen but also I think Filipinos as a response to that being such a bad thing in My Generation the Next Generation became too gatekeep about how you're supposed to feel and it's like a overcorrection I think there's a lot of overcorrecting going around which I think is like a thing where like um what I mean by that is like now it's like swinging the other way where like other Filipinos will be on your ass about how you're supposed to feel about the Filipino culture which is ████ dumb to me like I don't think I think everybody's experience is so different and nuanced and depending on where they are in the diaspora it's like you can feel how you feel like it's just the result of how you grew up but then now it's like now that we have next shark and ████ it's like everybody's policing each other's everyone's policing each other's Pride which I think is stupid you know what I mean also investigating each other's authenticity all the time
5:03 right yeah it's like full bore investigations of how authentically you're doing something yeah yeah yeah and I feel like the the the base level achievement you can come off with is just not doing that anymore which is not doing what I grew up with was making fun of and dividing the Social Circle between you got an accent we don't we're cooler you guys are whack like that was bad but I don't know if that still happens but I think most people from my generation came off of that grew up out of and went oh we were ████ whack for that and I think that's cool I don't think we got to do more than that I think that's good like that's a really big step you but the more time you spend talking about something like that the more I know you're just really really insecure about it you know what I mean you're just super deeply insecure about whatever it is with you it's like the guys who talk about like wanting to be good at sex a little too much it's like
5:55 oh you're not good at it and you're just really sad about that you know you know so then you spend all your time talking about how you wish ████ didn't care so much about penis size and all that stuff exactly yeah yeah just move on dude I think again that's an Asian that's a Filipino ameran problem I think it's actually an immigrant immigrant country thing like I've noticed that about everybody here in America like even with white folks right there's just wanting to like legitimize belong like who's more rightfully like and who has the actual representation of the culture and I think that's even happening like in all different areas sure yeah where it's like I think that's what happens when you have a society that isn't really
6:47 indigenous to the space and people have to legitimize them belonging it's an similation race yeah so then it's probably been going on for like hundreds of years here uh the cool difference is that I remembered Koreans not having that I remembered Koreans being proud of like all KP Korean just KP across the board just like oh you're Korean cool I'm Korean cool and then they all like you know even if they didn't speak Korean they were still like they were way stronger of a unified Social Circle than like Filipinos yeah cuz Koreans would do the like Hispanic thing where if they say their native word in English they go full boore you know how like oh would you like to have some burritos like all Hispanic people do that right and then even Koreans is like that too they be like
7:38 hey would you like to have some Su they always like they have to say the full thing but then like in Chinese you don't do that you're like oh you guys want to get like uh like be beef chow or something they don't go like CH but then for them it's like it's almost be more better to be more connected yeah back to the home country right right we got to start doing that they're the only ones that do that the only Asians it does jump out at you kind of right it's jarring yeah it is that's such a ████ when you introduce the toolic word do you go full bore or is it like more of the Americanized version of the I it depends if I'm if I'm talking to other Filipino Americans I'll just say it however but if I'm speaking to people that speak Tagalog then I'll I'll Tagalog it up a little bit Hispanics would just say it doesn't even matter it could be like someone that doesn't even speak the language just go full bore on
8:29 that thing yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah right that's a really good that's a really good exp true statement yeah yeah yeah like even if they say the city like Soul go I was just in I'm like dude you don't got to spit at that's also that's also doing part to like growing up where your parents said it like that but then we I came from a weird generation that was like all about hiding hiding your uh ethnicity a little bit it's like no we need you to blend in with this like new place so like my parents never spoke to go around me because they were like we don't want you picking up this accent because they were they were dealing with that at work about with with like other people making them feel or like going out with feeling like oh people are looking at us differently because we don't speak perfect English and ████ hey do you guys want to go get some fud or you guys want to go get some f see right see F don't
9:20 just throw it in your face like that don't spit him my face yeah it's funny because the first thing I didn't like was the discrimination and now I don't like the hyper policing so I don't know if that's just like me being ████ cuz I think the it rubber banded way bad you know I think the thing I didn't like about Chinese growing up was I was like can Chinese people just do something cool for once like like nothing was like nothing was cool like like you know like um like even supermarkets right like one has flies in it and then the other one's like Hmart and they're like dude Hmart is ████ sick why is that so sick or like you have like San Rio and then you got Morning Glory like just even pencil boxes and ████ and then you got ████ like mothball scented ████ pens or
10:11 whatever that you find at 99 wrench like nothing was ever nothing was ever cool I think it's grass is greener cuz my cousin was so obsessed with like Kung Fu he's like I don't want to ████ do karate he goes Japanese ████ is so rigid and lame and then he's all like but Chinese ████ cuz he liked Bruce Lee and then the he's like he like the silk like Gees and ████ like that's all we had though cuz yeah cuz I hated kungu too Jin the MC Jin the MC made Chinese people yeah but that's like rap culture like he was pulling something else in that's harder than to be a martial artist ████ Guru yeah cuz even the Chinese like I wanted to do karate cuz it was like it was like a hard style it looked ████ dope I'm doing this ████ ████ like slapping your own feet and ████ what the ████ is slapping my own feet ████ I want to break a board
11:02 I want to do something that's ████ hardcore you didn't like the ████ spear dodging like I'm doing all this ████ flowery ████ I'm like that's ████ whack ████ even our snacks aren't packaged as well as Japanese and Korean snacks that was the biggest thing you about I'm eating ████ sour plums and ████ there's like the supermarket sucked ass our our our ████ uh Chinese our our Stone Cold Steve Austin was ████ Jackie who's like ████ falling over every ████ day jaie ch's the best dude so cool I was with you the whole time jaie by the way by the way look at me Jackie greater than Bruce Lee I truly really what I'm saying is it would be nice if he was cool have a good he's lovable but he wasn't like Bruce it's like Chinese lack like swagness swagness Chan was
11:53 like the Buster Keaton like he wasn't supposed to be but he still kind of like lowkey a womanizer off camera so we didn't have we just didn't have Bronx he did all his own stunts for so many years and ████ that guy I respected all of that stuff I see what you mean though I see what you mean like the he's talking about the cool like I think they it's like lacking maybe like SE attitude or like something that's like missing that you maybe you looked in other like groups where it's like Koreans are executing their movies and something so like with a cool Factor yeah like even like K-pop like even as like as goofy as Sai is he's cool still there's something that's like cool about him you know Sai is cool I thought Sai was cool Sai or Jackie Chan I think size's cool than Jackie Chen just as like in terms of cool Factor not influence or or
12:44 dominance you ████ lost me bro yeah he lost me too I'm sorry dude I was so pumped yeah I was like you had me at ████ sour plums like all the way I was learning a lot and then I now I'm out he said sigh is cool than Jackie you're like not like in terms of cool Factor not overall is that do no matter how much you quote it I'm just not with you dude do you think that's because like in in Chinese like design of anything like cool is not the first thing they want too practical yeah the practicality like beats everything maybe or maybe they grow their ████ whiskers isn't cool man like why you growing it like that Chinese culture is so uninfluenced by Western that they have their own cool like Indian it's they have their own cool so different that like when you look at it from a western lens or just even a different
13:34 culture just like what is this ████ even the sounds with all the Black Keys where's the ████ soul in the ████ music man it just sounds like ████ wrong rubber bands wrong rubber bands he lost me after the Jackie thing out yeah yeah everything you say right now is just wrong I get it I get what you're saying you guys no because it's true it's like when it's like a lot of the coolest things are born from like lower income like poor places I know what you mean I see where you're coming from with that that's true because like everybody's that's connected to the world right like they add to the influences of what's cool so for example like Punk like you could have Punk scene in Japan Europe
14:25 America or like hip-hop right and then they'll add a little to it and then just recently China India and some other countries are getting onto it yeah dude so then I think like they've been in the bubble for so long that like they just evolved differently in what they think is cool yeah that's true so like even their Warriors come out in silk P like panties and ████ you know what I mean so it's a different world I feel like it's that thing of like uh like if you told the Chinese guy his your business is not cool he's like what you mean make profit that's cool like that's the response I expect him to have but then like you have like other things where like they don't necessarily generate a lot of money yeah but they're just so Co hey taxes all cash that's true that's that's true that's like Japanese where it's like
15:15 we're negative every year but we're so ████ cool yeah yeah we'll slave away at the job 15 hours a day it's like but it's so respected though or it's like the birth of Hip Hop like all that ████ in New York nobody was making money money off of it and they still most of them never have but it's the coolest ████ thing like ever you know what I mean doesn't make any money some people going to get upset at me for this but uh growing up for on the Vietnamese side of my culture I ████ hated the sound of the language really I agree with you the way that yeah the way that people stereotype and make fun of Vietnamese language and sounds like you're ████ swallowing buckets of water like you're drowning or whatever yeah like swallowing buckets of you know what I mean and you're just like ████ dude you're not wrong you know what I mean so
16:06 there was there was like speaking of cool like there was such like a non swag to like the sound of Vietnamese what in class when I found out there was a Vietnamese person like doing like open house or whatever it made me feel better oh that's good cuz Japanese and Korean sound is so cool and then Chinese it's kind of like it's like on the on the border yeah it's like weird edges and then you're like ████ man all my friends going to ████ make fun of me and ████ and then the minute you have a Vietnamese like I hear I'm like oh good like there's another punching back it's not just did you ever meet anybody who could swag it out like really well I think um people who just had like swagy voices do it right now speak Vietnamese swagged out to the max how do you swag a for this I feel
16:57 like people from the north speak more uh like uh eloquent so it's like uh like in in the South if you're like uh if I want to go home like that right and it's just very like quick and like sharp and yeah but if you were saying it from the north you be like uh oh damn that sounded nice cane you know what I'm saying like it would just have a different drowning slower sounded drowning slower sounded good it's very throaty yeah it's just it's still like drinking buckets of water just thick thicker viscosity of the water it sounds like it would give you a headache if you talk like that for an [Laughter] hour speaking of genocide though one thing one thing growing up genocide that was really embarrassing I think uh super embarrassing was like how Japanese just
17:50 copied everything but they couldn't invent anything ooh so like from break dance like they would just copy ████ that got popular right right like break dancing suring orever cholos and low riders yeah and then like they would Master it do it so good now they have their own style but in the '90s like and it was so lame like they had Rock Steady Tokyo right they had all these like different break dancing and they were so lame like so off they so lame yeah it was so bad but I mean I guess it's like Natural Evolution right like it has to start somewhere but then when you looked at the American Crew and just how they were doing ████ it was so much better it was so much cooler but I don't know technology too they perfected a lot of technological things that were created elsewhere right
18:42 maybe but it just felt like it just felt like there was no originality in the culture cuz I wasn't looking at like ancient ████ I was just looking at like their fashion like from what they were wearing to like and then I was like man you guys are so lame Joe not looking at Japanese ancient ████ is like blowing my mind me too I don't believe it really you're stuck in present day that's weird I do think the more I've learned about different places the more I realize everybody ripped everybody else off Perpetual dude like go around the world like all the foods like the same ingredients and same different ████ yeah but you know what's strange too is that like when something is a status symbol in one country like they're all going to adopt that right like they're all going to be American in ways where it's like prestigious looking but then like fashion has always not been American in
19:32 the way because like when you're in America everybody's wearing European Brands to be the high status so it's like a funny ████ thing like they wear European brands in an American Way in other countries or Europeans that came to America and blew up the brand like far or whatever like and then they created something and it went back and then over and over yeah we wear their ████ but they watch our movies yeah it's like to our music which is like the joke behind Ali G it's like he's he's copying another culture that's copying another culture yeah it's like it's layers away which is like the weirdest thing is crazy is there anything original like just purely not what do you call it like I think it's we're just like all Innovative and then just there's no other influences that came in and
20:22 changed it it's like impossible if you think about doing their own spin on a a thing that everyone's already done and they all came together and was like oh you do the same ████ the same ████ oh that's crazy unless you're born in isolation on an island what about the LA homeless tents I don't see other people having those yeah Portland oh they do American homeless tents americ homeless where originating is culture I don't see that like in you know the funniest thing to me though so like I'm just entertaining this conversation but like at the end of the day like our actual culture is more Regional and I think that being a Californian La Southern Californian is like like probably way more what we are than saying like you're Chinese or cuz if we go to like if I go to Japan right now no one thinks I'm Japanese and if you guys go to China no one thinks you're Chinese no one's going
21:12 to they're not going to actually accept Chinese like you go to the locals and they're all going to be like you're American well Japan is Hardcore about that right they really won't even like let you say you're Japanese thank you yes he's not Anthony that guy just lied but Bart that's Bart for sure did you tell them you're Anthony yeah tell them more things about you as Anthony tell them you're gay 7 eight why the ████ did you say that all right look at that okay just going to go have more sex with my boyfriend now thank you very much for the food thank you saying something like that all right thanks man I'm just going to go get continue getting ████ in my ass get some calories so I can get mouth ████
