0:00 just have fun who gives a ████ like there's that ████ Missy Elliott song it's like you think she's really trying to be racist towards Asians [Music] all right so this says uh recently gone in the news and I just thought it'd be an interesting conversation I'm going to report this as an unbiased host it has nothing to do with my ethnic makeup okay but former Royal Meghan Markle has been slamming Austin Powers and Kill Bill for promoting negative Asian stereotypes wait how are they they're not even ████ new movies all right dude what are they doing like I said completely she born when Austin Powers came out like how old is she she's 41 years old actually I like that she doesn't say that Austin Powers is is uh promoting
0:51 British stereotypes what about shagging all the time give a ████ yeah what a weird Hill to ████ like well so she is on uh she has a podcast now uh that has apparently been getting some good traction the former Duchess of Sussex that kind of has a flow to it um basically it went to her podcast to uh promote this latest episode called Asian stereotypes why she slammed is she the only one talking about it do you have a guest she did have guests and these are these are very good guests actually uh she had a Margaret Cho uh and Lisa Ling oh Lisa Lee I trust the ████ out of Lisa totally trust Lisa I like Margaret show too so what did they have to say they basically got on the episode to talk about you know
1:41 disassembling the anti-aging slurs in Los Angeles uh Marco roasted the two decade old films for presenting caricatures of women in Asian descent the former actor was specifically referring to Gold Member which features Japanese woman fuk me portrayed by Diane mizoda and fuku played by Karen what a good bit those are pretty funny though it was very funny uh I didn't like all the Dutch stereotypes in that movie there it is you know it from coming from you that's totally this is a safe space I didn't like it at all thanks for sharing thank you for sharing a pancake Blitz uh and then Tarantino's 2003 cult hit Kill Bill start Lucy Liu as the murderously violent Yakuza leader Oren ishi that was a dope character why was that one bad why was why was that a negative stereotype yeah was that the
2:32 whole point so she says movies like Austin Powers and Kill Bill presented these characters of Asian women as oftentimes over sexualized or aggressive and it's not just that's accurate have you ever met an Asian Mom they're very aggressive it is and over sexualized but the weird thing is Quentin Tarantino's movies are usually based on existing characters from older films yeah yeah so like the oranishi character is a Trope like from like old Cinema and it's it's also Witcher Japanese movies and Anime is hella hella like that bro yeah like animes is hella ████ sexual yeah Lauren ishi's bit was an animated yeah the whole movie of Kill Bill was so stylized I get the Austin Powers one because that's just a ████ joke like but everybody every race in Austin Powers is a joke so like okay but then it sucks that people are still being fuk me and fuku for Halloween granted really he's doing that it
3:22 doesn't suck for the guys who are with me and food yeah dude they're killing dude those outfits those outfits are fire they're getting laughs but the Kill Bill thing is like if if they made oranishi white they would be like she should have been Asian yeah you can't win dude you can't make everybody why why does Meghan Markle even give a ████ though that's like me like talking about ████ British stereotypes well it's not it's not that she gets a ████ she was asking Margaret Cho and and uh Lisa Lisa they give that's her podcast right and her topics well I mean I I could see you know you bring on different guests uh to to talk about the things that maybe they give a ████ about oh I see but I'm not saying they're the ones specifically Who are slanting Austin Powers and it just came up in conversation yeah it just came I think there's a there's enough whack ████ in today's movies then you know you don't gotta go back that far yeah two decades is pretty far I think one decade you gotta leave it alone I thought they
4:12 ████ like in for the most part like mainstream movies kind of learned from that a little bit like you're not gonna see you know Fook me a ████ spin-off but what would that look like though what would that look like how uh I think they're like remember we were talking about someone was bringing out how Mean Girls is racist Asians yeah yeah yeah and we were like yo there's so much like get the ████ that's out now because those guys haven't learned yeah you know but what's a good example of something that's out now that they would have um something to talk about as far as like Asia negative Asian stereotypes I was us I just saw not something that's out now but I did crack up this morning while I was taking a ████ because I just saw one of those memes uh of an old clip from this uh the scary movie where um what's their face um oh yeah Anna Faris Anna Faris is
5:02 looking at the ████ the ring or The Grudge kid oh yeah they're just saying like Honda Suzuki you know Toshiba Yamaha that's that's what's funny that's the American stupid view of what agents sound like it's satire yeah they're not trying to make a like the even as hacky as that is that's the joke they're trying to that's what the joke was yeah it's like Simpsons Simpsons is not Simpsons is not making fun of Asians or or Indians or anything they're making fun of how Americans are so dumb that we see it that way and everyone's getting it too it's not just an Asian ████ thing yeah but some people really don't see past that and they just go oh they're making fun of Indians or they're making fun of Asians it's like dude yeah they're making fun of you how you see this everyone can get these jokes that's how we have to think about it I will say it's really funny uh has anybody ever been watching a um house of the Dragon yeah so with House of the Dragon uh people are more or less familiar with
5:52 the sword okay I think it's obviously funny that um there's nothing but a lot of like you know uh I'm married to my cousin so we're supposed to Bear children for the Royal Line and whatnot but obviously I'm ████ this other dude on the side and now my children look like this other dude right so they do this whole thing about how it's like oh it's not the same hair color like obviously if you're ████ Valerian the hair is supposed to be like white and blonde but your hair is like brunette but at the end of the day it's like all the valerians are actually black people in the show so it's like it's not really about the hair it's like also about the skin color like they made it as clear as possible even though it's really like um also kind of gray you don't really it's not a skin thing nobody mentions it even though all the valerians are black basically no one says it yeah it's it's it's it's just as clear as possible to show the differentiation but it's not
6:42 really talked about in order to be like sensitive enough and it's just uh it's actually pretty tactful but I feel like that's an example of like today's world and realm of entertainment and storytelling being adaptive to the sensitivity without being like so head-on that like 30 years from now you can look at it and be like that's a problem I feel like everybody's trying to work so perfectly in the realm of artistic uh appropriate yeah while not being like not pissing anybody off I also think everything's so ████ lame yeah because everyone's so like ████ careful and ████ you know where it's like where the camera voice just have fun who gives a ████ like there's that ████ Missy Elliott song it's like you think really trying to be racist towards Asians or she's just not what that was or she's having a good time in the ████ Studio I don't know but like why are you why does what does
7:33 that have to do with me that was an Asian dude because people people will do that right like kind of with this whole thing like oh my God I know what Mike Myers was thinking about yeah he wanted to ████ me over it's like no ████ they don't even know who the ████ you are yeah like everything that's so like hyper fixated yeah like I know who they're trying to offend and it worked I'm like they don't even know what I think they should shift their focus to is not especially Meghan Markle I think Meghan Markle shouldn't shift her Focus to these Asian films they should be talking about the beguiled the film Easy pal you know what I mean like that's what they should be just hey that's his people dude watch out just like look over there and see why is Clint Eastwood kissing a 12 year old that's gonna be 13. because he's playing a character also
8:23 um is to try and look at it from the other perspective like for us especially like you know we we've been here before in this exact same room and talked about things like this obviously being in the realm of entertainment obviously being associated with the Asian race um we've talked about things like this but uh what about like maybe her fans that are like super about her that don't pay attention to any of this ████ and maybe that aren't Asian yeah that's you know what I'm saying that will take whatever she says tooth and nail for the most part because they're already subscribed to her like what about those people that maybe could use a potentially eye-opening conversation with a credible person like Margaret Cho or Lisa Lee I think it's cool I think it's cool to point these These past things out in order to cite the source of why we don't do that ████ no more like that's cool like when you look at 16 Candles now people are like what's a
9:13 classic and then you have the ████ long duck dong character like I get that like but then also to know that it's confined to that era totally understandable you look at movies from like the in the beginning of Cinema and women are always having hysteria getting slapped and step out of it in the movie that's the answer to the problem but we don't look at that now and go oh that's reflective of society today no it's like oh they used to do that because they didn't ████ know better I'm a little bit the opposite you know they're like let's create more rules so like the basketball players are safer I'm like how do we take the rules away so it could be more like football you know so like let's take away less of the rules you want more CTE and then we have way more racist movies that are way funner yeah just race like you just ████ attack like Indian attacks white white attacks Asian attacks ████
10:03 everyone just ████ gets it and then we vote with our ████ Edward Cinemas tickets you guys remember you guys remember when Sean Connery was getting interviewed by like Diane Sawyer and he's and he's just very plainly she's like she's like you know you're hitting a lot of women in these movies and he's like some women could use a slap in the mouth yeah right and then everyone thought he was like the worst human being yeah he's like well no back then I think it wasn't even that controversial it was like maybe a little bit controversial but then everyone in America was kind of like yeah I mean yeah but nowadays they're like oh my God I can't believe he said that time's changed see that's I want to see more of that I can't believe what they were trying to cancel Casablanca that was that was crazy yeah it cost longer that's that's one of the ones I was basically talking about like when you look at old film well what happened in costume they're slapping the ████ out of women I don't even remember that part also
10:53 they you know just like their depiction of like slavery and stuff like that right or not slavery they had like a uh basically a black like helper yeah but uh maybe the butler type of role but I think they're just like people are just really offended about the portrayal uh and the constant portrayal and depiction you know what I mean minorities in that way so they're trying to just ████ go all the way back take them all out Castle them all and then erase the history of this kind of discrimination it definitely sucks to see that I'm sure like if you're black and you're seeing that and you're like dude ████ this it's like the same way when you have but then inversely today when you have like a Chinese film the helper's ████ Filipino it's like that's right now you know what I mean but then the thing is that's still a true frequency you can go to China you will see a Filipino helper honestly it doesn't make us look great it kind of sucks to feel but then it's still you know there's some truth to it
11:44 to the character you want the truth out there don't you right well I mean yeah just don't different kinds of truths as far as from a film to understand that like oh yeah this is a thing that happens yeah like it's for us to ignore it is like the only thing that sucks is if that's the only thing that you ever are is the helper like that's why it sucks yeah that's true but then still like in terms of old Cinema like I totally understand looking at it and going yeah ████ this today it's a time capsule right that's why my favorite genre of movies where white people are helping out the minorities big time which movies are those I like The Blind Side and it's like hey man that's so quick the funny thing is if you think like movies in America are racist then you haven't seen ████ foreign films where America's the bad guy yeah like that's pretty heavy to see that ████ for the
12:34 first time like if you don't know how other countries view the US watch a Chinese film like yeah or like watch a Chinese film that where America is the villain and you'll be like no but it's like bro that's when you you can't just limit racism and film to just America like every country has their view of another country it's always going to be racist to you about America yeah good old North Korea I heard the craft service is pretty good on North Korea [Laughter] [Music]
