0:00 and then like I'll date another Asian girl or Chinese girl right and then like they'll be like yeah they're like we sh they're they they think that we shouldn't get married I'm like why it's because they know that Japanese guys they get drunk and they always cheat on their wives all the time and I'm like where does this come from my dad doesn't even drink alcohol but he does cheat on my mom [Music] so um here we are off the Record again we found ourselves off the Record uh went back when you guys were teenagers yeah what are some negative stereotypes we heard about each other's ethnicities Steve go okay easy wait wait how long do I have ah I only have 20 minutes 20 minutes isn't enough go around the room Jesus like real ones that you actually
0:51 heard that were said that were said seriously okay okay one of the more ████ up ones that I heard is that you guys are really smart Taiwanese right I heard that Taiwanese people are extremely extremely cheap is that true oh yeah it's actually a true one most of the Chinese people I know are ████ stingy what was the example like Wizards well I had I had a lot of Cantonese friends and for some reason I don't know if there's a rivalry or whatever but they would always roast Taiwanese people and I wasn't I never met a Taiwanese person and then they would just always talk ████ about how Taiwanese people are so cheap all the time and then I was like it just it just sounds funny like they just have a lot of jokes but I I don't know
1:41 and I think I did have time with these friends but I didn't know that they were telling these because I didn't ask oh later on in life I'm like oh okay but that was something I kept hearing over and over I was here the Japanese people are perverts seriously seriously and that grew up and I was like oh ████ they are who told you that I don't know just ████ like random like older like kids on the field or whatever you know what I mean and they would just be like this ████ Japanese kids stuff like you're pervert and I would always be like what why is he a pervert he's Japanese and he's like I didn't get it you know what I mean you don't get it until you start ████ really watching ████ like porno that's funny the one that I got was Japanese Americans don't speak Japanese but that's true yeah they're like they don't speak it some of them are like four gens deep I was talking to my uh my sisters me and my sister were talking
2:31 about this and we're telling my wife about how my grandpa back in the day he would ask my sisters he's an old Chinese dude and he like served in the military and he was like you guys got any friends that are Japanese and my sisters were like no he goes good he didn't want any of uh my sisters to hang out with it in Japanese yo it's hardcore though he's from that generation my Korean uh friend was having a sleepover and I was um we were all playing but I couldn't stay they were allowed to stay and I had to go home whoa yeah cause I was Japanese and then their grandma didn't like that or whatever and then because he was like sorry you can't stay and I was like why
3:21 because oh uh my grandma doesn't like that you're Japanese so I was like okay that's ████ weird and I didn't get it yeah and I had it and I was like telling my mom I was crying and ████ I was like they don't like me because I'm Japanese and they're like oh well don't worry we'll kill them later time letting go or some ████ she told me something as a kid can you imagine playing a little kid it's so incredible yeah yeah yeah he runs deep Bro Japanese American Kids great you know like I was just so petty honestly it takes Petty to a level that I didn't even think was possible and I respected about it too and you're Petty WAP I'm very Petty but on the flip side there were a lot of like not like Korean Chinese uh Vietnamese grandmas that
4:13 spoke Japanese because of the colonization right they they would they were trying to make them speak Japanese so they remember when they were kids going to those those programs so then they when they knew that I was a Japanese they would speak to me they would sing songs to me and ████ and I thought that was cool until later I grew up and I'm like oh they were in those at re-education camps that's why they know Japanese but they never passed that hate on to me at all I didn't know because I was a kid that's the only time that one Korean grandma was upset about that wow good teachers in those camps good teachers most of my racism was learned from my parents I think what did your parents say about Filipinos um they told they would tell me nothing actually does nothing bad about Filipinos
5:04 but yeah there's nothing bad about Filipinos wow yeah it was mainly about like my dad was like when I first got with Geo he was like you better watch out she's she's gonna like right after kids it's like it's in the DNA it's gonna be fat as ████ blowing up she's gonna balloon up it's gonna be like 300 pounds he's like just just be careful that's guard bar so he started the gym with her preventative preventative he might want to work out a little bit of that face Geo he said that yeah yeah his dad your father in law dude I didn't I didn't even know what a Vietnamese was until High School what did I say what a Vietnamese was like who says I had Vietnamese friends but like it just didn't to me I thought they were all just Chinese we all heard that like because I had mostly like friends that
5:54 were Filipino Korean Japanese Chinese not really a lot of Vietnamese but then once I reached high school we started running into them places everybody would always tell us to watch out for them oh oh that's true because they're crazy they said Vietnamese guys have the craziest temper like you might lose your temper but you won't go as far as a Vietnamese guy will you guys were raised for a hell of racism dude yeah yeah so much racism and then they were like they're because then a lot of fights would happen and then people would just assume oh it's just yeah guys mom always told me like if you're around white people you better act right because they're gonna Sue yourself yeah dude she's like you better not ████ around that's why they know the law and they will sue your ass we wouldn't really have white kids come over because we were scared their families would sue us that's so funny yeah we were all my whole family was
6:44 scary my mom told me never get no fight because she doesn't want to get sued but other white people my other white people oh no I was raised you know that's funny but I was raised around everybody so like you know they just like don't ████ fight anybody we'll get sued wow they're scared s███████ also some of the stereotypes it's interesting like how it's formed because uh where I grew up my first house I could really remember my next door neighbor was a Filipino family but they were like a Filipino cholo family so I always thought Filipinos were only cholos because they were they were like you know like the shorts down again white socks and then there was the one they were like teach me how to like uh tag with like sidewalk chalk on the ground so it would like ████ tag up the whole the whole sidewalk and ████ and then so like um I thought all Filipinos were cholos until I realized
7:34 no that's wrong they're actually all break dancers was a new one because uh growing up in Cerritos all the Vietnamese I knew were like second or third generation and I didn't know that they had like a refugee type culture until I came here and I was like holy ████ A lot of these guys just came here like ████ last week and they don't give a ████ hey you know what I learned about you know what I heard about Filipinos when I was in high school this most ████ up thing I heard like hey dude Filipino dudes all leave their wives oh ████ oh I heard about the Korean dudes all beat their wives and I heard that too oh ████ beat and leave oh you know what I've heard a lot of racism from girls that I've dated from their parents like she would be like yeah my mom thinks that
8:24 you're gonna beat my ass because you're Japanese oh ████ Asian girl or Chinese girl right and then like they'll be like yeah they're like we sh they're they they think that we shouldn't get married I'm like why it's because they know that Japanese guys they get drunk and they always cheat on their wives all the time and I'm like cheat on my mom but you know you know you know what's crazy is I have heard that stereotype too about Filipinos but I couldn't identify with it because when you're Filipino Christian nobody gets divorced but then once I started meeting more Filipinos that were not Christian a lot of them had broken families or dads that would peace out it was always dads it's not just husbands it's it's like Filipino men were like two they're like
9:15 casanovaish or like player-ish or athletes huh even when they're older or they're like salsa teachers you got like four or five lives it's like Spanish culture bro damn man and I didn't know that I honestly just think white people aren't dishonest because like you guys like you guys are raised in this it's like all these Japanese people all these Filipino all these Vietnamese people and like when I'm growing up none of that it's like nobody wants to admit it maybe I don't ████ know no it's because you got to go back to Europe where people are like the Dutch the Irish the sky oh right you know what I mean but like over here it's just white right yeah like Irish people they get they get drunk and they fight or whatever the Italians are like a French or romantic yeah but over here Italians Irish or Germans they're all just white yeah yeah there's also a strange thing where like I think it's like when you're first gen American and your your family's from Asia they're gonna tell you things not in the reason
10:05 that you should hate them but it's for you to watch out because the odds are against you but that is racist it is racist it's like they're all like this so watch out yeah it's racist and it's racist but it comes from like pure uneducated stupidity yeah like my grandma right like I think it was the first year she was in in the states she didn't know anything about slavery she should know anything about that we just lived in a black neighborhood she thought there's so many Africans that came here she doesn't know yeah she's like we're gonna Africa neighborhood and that's what she would tell all her friends like oh yeah we live in kind of like a little Africa little Nairobi because she thought that America was literally just a big Melting Pot where there's Chinatown there's Little Tokyo there's all that right so she's like yeah there's so many like she thought they're just all first-gen immigrants
10:55 yeah wow damn my parents would always be like we're Chinese right he goes both my mom and my dad would tell me separately like don't work for Chinese people they're cheap just don't work for them dude I've heard that from my Chinese friends yeah like they would just tell me that um completely true but you know I'm sure there's there's you know exceptions to the rule and then my mom would always say stuff to me like and we've we've actually talked about this before but like my mom used to always be like like you need to wear a sweater like you're gonna get cold you're not like those white or black kids you're gonna get they're really strong yeah yeah like they would they would say things like that to me growing up in a weird way where I would just like have this weird complex because I'm not a ████ yeah dude and now you would think like and then in my dad's eyes he'd be like yeah like dude those black guys on the court like they're just you can't stop them like that's how he would talk he would talk about how like black dudes are just
11:45 really good at basketball and like really hard to guard like you would just say that like that that's that was his thing positive racism I'm here all day for him like I'm down oh dude these guys are so quick like you just can't stop them like you you try to move your feet you can't you can't get in front of them because you like love basketball like that was his lens when I watched like any Asian Tick Tock of a guy who's like you know what I'm Asian I'm not a doctor it's like oh my god dude shut up you're right yeah people assume you're smart and you're educated that's like a bad stereotype holy ████ how will you ever make it the only time that that that's like used wrong is when someone's trying to discredit you working hard at something and they're like you didn't even have to ████ try your Asian you're like all right well that's true yeah that's how you gotta do it if you want to compare it to the Discrimination Olympics we don't have it as bad as some
12:36 other groups like it's like wow the ████ they're ████ accused of it's like well ████ what about gypsies that are like oh you're coming from a culture that just steals all day and cheats people can't say gypsies yes you can't even say that anymore what are they what are they like Travelers or something I think they have it's like imagine if you have the stain of like it's like it's like Asian kids are crying about oh you have a stain of being a doctorate intelligent imagine if you ████ born and people think you're from a culture of theft and crime and like nothing swag and you have to wake up every day going like everyone thinks like the Italian heal someone yeah steal some ████ do some crime not be you know it's like you're untrustworthy like all that ████ like what the ████ dude you know what I love it's like so we just came out of
13:26 the Christmas season and ████ like that or the holidays um and you know as I'm at Trader Joe's or anywhere and it's like people like Merry Christmas I'm like oh okay Merry Christmas or whatever or happy Holidays happy holidays you can say that to any Chinese person and there you can say Happy New Year to any Chinese person right and they're just like happy New Year even but they're not like my New Years and ████ a month I never heard that in my life it actually it's in February that's not my ████ New Year actually you've never heard that um that's true yeah you wouldn't actually it's a February and that's it it's been celebrated that way for thousands of years exactly they have their own New Year people say happy new year they just happy New Year back and everyone flips the ████ out of my life out yeah everyone's like I don't say Merry Christmas they won't say happy Saint
14:17 Patty's Day back to you though I bet you watch okay I'll try they probably don't even know what you said it's a good toast anybody else uh racist I just mean you know it's just like what other times I remember actually hearing my uh well yeah like my family they'd be like yeah Filipino food's not that good but they never ████ had it like they they would or they had like a bad batch yeah they're just talking about their ████ ass dude do you guys remember this um you know back in the day right when when things went viral it was like email chains or some ████ so like there'll be you don't email this you have a bad luck for 12 years no yeah like that and then they would forward it yeah there was one about like which Asians hate each like which Asians hate which Asian right they'll be like oh yeah Koreans hate Japanese and then the Vietnamese hate
15:08 this and then all this stuff and then it goes but Chinese they hate Chinese and that was like the punch line because that's that's kind of like The Stereotype of like everyone has Rivals but the Chinese no one hates the Chinese more than the Chinese hate the Chinese that's true we're good at that bro for real because and it's the funniest stereotype because like I'll just be eating dinner like at my Chinese friend's house or like we're at a restaurant or whatever and out of nowhere they just start talking ████ about Chinese people and that's the funniest ████ to me because I'm just sitting here giggling and then they're like ████ why Chinese people so ugly man and I'm all like you're Chinese like what the ████ and where does this come from and then one time I was eating hot paw my friend's dad right and he's all like ah I'm never gonna hire Chinese don't ████ it you kind of reminded me of that because you just said it but it was like same ████ thing he's like don't trust Chinese they're gonna ████
15:59 steal your business and I'm all like but you're Chinese that's like similar to when um because of diversity is so large like in China itself like if you go to the Philippines you'll see a lot of people that don't like the Scions or don't like ilocanos like it's just tribal but that makes sense because it's not like it's like a different group right that's like saying from you're from Boston you don't like someone from New York but you're not saying ████ Americans you're gonna be like this continent's so swag man yeah by the way most of us hate people from Boston white people I don't know really oh yeah in the ████ I think it's like in in massels in the five six two maybe it's just Lakewood and Cerritos for some reason there was like an unspoken think that Filipinos and cambodians didn't like each other oh for sure that was a thing nobody knew why really yeah what
16:50 do you think it was I don't know maybe just like a beef between two very popular people that just like everyone wanted to copy them no it was it was there you guys were fighting for the title of a best jungle Asian yeah wow you know who the the least self the least self-loving Asian or Chinese person that I know are you Mexican nope I'm Chinese you got that Steve confidence he just put a whole country in the garbage yeah I think about that randomly in my head so many times nope I'm Chinese Soul killer such a killer line dude growing up it was confusing because my mom would constantly talk ████ about Chinese people and I'm like ████ you Chinese like what are you talking about so us growing up I'll be like like it made me
17:40 feel like Chinese was like the worst race yeah yeah like I'm not as strong as these people I'm not as smart as these but I'm not as disciplined as these people these guys got better jeans it was like I was like why am I even living dude why are you so bummed out I never heard anything bad about Chinese people but I had it's only from Chinese people yeah I had the looming feeling that Chinese was just the default that's true Chinese was default because also the rest of non-asian people are always like what kind of Chinese are you regardless like as long as you had this you're Chinese hey whoa that's gonna go viral whoa whoa Also let's acknowledge the elephant in the room guys little dicks are in all right wait whoa whoa whoa whoa you're gonna go like this though is it like this yeah it's like that little dicks are in I do have a really funny story about one of my my teammates his name is Kenny Huang he's a Taiwanese man okay he's a he he fight he used to fight he's an accountant right this ████
18:30 after one of his fights he knocks some dude out right as soon as he he finished knocking the guy out he walked under the cage and he just did this what who's that guy but he just so ████ funny he just walked around and was like ████ funny though that's a great celebration though yeah a Chinese man doing Chinese eyes I wonder what the new things are that like let's say parents of teenagers that are second gen Asian in Cali like I wonder what they tell their kids about other races if they even do well the new thing like even when I was in college like uh like a new stereotype that I would hear would be like oh man Asians are really good dancers thanks to you guys dude that's probably the sickest ████ thing to
19:20 happen in my lifetime best thing that ever happened to Asia that's ████ crazy because I never grew up with that because you guys set that new stereotyping wow what's happening in high school they're good dancers or they're power lifters because of this guy you know the show the show blackish yeah they license the clip of us to show in the pilot episode when the main characters mad that Asians took dance from black people but it's like a positive thing it's like he's like man that used to be the black man's thing yeah yeah yeah yeah and I was like dude I never thought of my lifetime that could ever like the tide could change that's pretty crazy because I don't remember if I can let you know Power Rangers like Mastodon I feel ████ body rollers yeah dude he was body rolling between kicks hip-hop keto dude that's what he called it the black Ranger he was doing that why you got the hook engine bay out there you're just
20:10 subconscious ly delete that delete that I think there are a lot of really cool new stereotypes that's awesome oh I miss racism though imagine that's what the parents say they're like hey stay away from that dance world there's Asians there you don't want to be Chinese I can't wait in 20 years we're gonna see Asian kids going oh guess what guys and I don't know how to dance exactly with tears in there I know yeah yeah yeah yeah not all of us are good dancers I'm a doctor and I can't dance it's so good I'm so rebellious pause for Laughs okay now you can continue and my dick's huge [Music] foreign
