0:00 dude I would get these really annoying comments like from the wild and out days where like just random dudes on forums would be like no attempt to sell out because he gets on that show and lets everyone make Asian jokes to him like what are you supposed to do is talk him I'm like yeah what are you supposed to do fight everybody [Music] I'm just gonna play this for you basically there was a commencement speech at Purdue oh I saw that and the chancellor said something pretty funny let's see what you guys think of it you told me what he said yeah you'll love it actually Nick you'll be a big fan oh no oh no well all I can say is oh ████ bro that's that's sort of by Asian version of his uh what do you say

0:53 you want us to translate yeah what do you saying oh wait he didn't say anything just gibberish Cantonese he did a good job though like it wasn't bad wait what's the contest is Joe approved why what the ████ is he doing that for what is the concept so there is actual context we should just leave it dude hey just to close this out what's the best part is look at look at how many people behind him like laughed at it and we're down with it you got good reactions from the crowd that came out of nowhere dude what the

1:44 ████ is that guy doing so the context the context to be fair and this doesn't exactly exonerate this but like the context that somebody had a speech right before him in which they were saying that while they worked on a radio show they used to speak in this made-up language and I guess he was trying to emulate that and what came out just happened to sound Asian so he just kind of tried to save it with all that's my Asian version of whatever he just tried to make a gibberish language so what he have not been in trouble if he didn't say Asian he was just saying like oh I was just referencing that yeah but it just like it sounded Asian it did but he was really you don't have to say it yeah he was just trying to like make a ████ ████ up you can't do that at a graduation man why would he do that it's so dumb it's so funny it's funny because he was so

2:35 full out that dude had no inhibition I mean we're upset here at JK we don't condone the seven no we're not the ████ next shark comments that ████ was ████ stupid I'm laughing at how crazy like ridiculous it is have you guys ever been when's the last time you guys been to like a college graduation like last year yeah and when you're up when you're at a college graduation you're like there needs to be way less people talking yeah they talk too much it's like have like one or two speakers that's it it's like plus clothes with a punchline like this he needs a headline why people are mad though because it's like it obviously sounds like he's making fun of uh some type of Asian language right right sounds Cantonese to me the context helps but I'm like come on bro like why why is that where his

3:26 brain goes and it's like shouldn't you know better at that level in this field and not the position yeah that's supposed 90 years old dude but it's supposed to be an academic intelligence like celebration it's Purdue like in a ████ Cypress College I actually would like a world though where that's okay and then the Asian Professor that comes on can go by ████ hell oh ████ like well this is that the equivalent let's just be embrace it yeah embrace it yeah like all the jokes can fly everyone can say whatever the ████ they want let's just clown the ████ out of each other Indiana Indiana Purdue University's in Indiana can I hear it one more time yeah it's funny because it came out of nowhere and the Devil Went full force y'all

4:21 did say that like racism or something has been a problem there is reasonable yeah or no hey making it too real man holy job Purdue there's like a racism problem in Indiana Oh I don't know in America maybe I'm mixing up articles I don't know but I I could have sworn I'm sure that's fair to say yeah like one of the students or one of the faculty was like see that's just one of the many examples like this goes around all the time whether it's in the faculty rooms or whatever I mean for me I'm like are you surprised these fools look 80 90 years old and their humor all that ████ is like they're probably still laughing at Minstrel ████ like they're still laughing at old ass comedy like thinking like it's still funny you know I mean like not that excuses it but I expect it I expect 90 year old dudes to be dumb

5:11 and ████ races as ████ he did already apologize for it but he said it was taken out of context which is like that's what happened how do we put it in context then like the context help me uh not be upset as much like it's still like it's like come on it's like it's so stupid it's stupid right but it's like okay you telling me what what led up to it yeah there's a little bit of a thing yeah you ████ up but you're also like 60 years old bro these fools look old dude I don't know what his age is but he definitely looks you're old enough to know that like this is a little wild bro these fools are old enough to be like man I don't like segregation and I mean I I I wanted a segregated school like that's how old they are right I mean for real they're like I tried yeah I try to keep the blacks out you know like though that's

6:01 that's they're still that age right right but it's the it's the Laughing of the dudes behind him dude they were killed bro yeah the fact that yeah that's true Chinese people do sound like that that was better than last time it's the natural reflex of like this dude's killing it or they're like they're like you should have seen what he was doing last night yeah that ain't nothing yeah like oh Bob's all right isn't he I know but you would expect at a graduation for it to be like dead silent after something like that you would think but he got some laughs dude yeah hey dude he cleared the room with that ████ well I mean contextually they weren't making fun of Asians though like they were just oh that's true yeah they were making fun of a weird like a made-up language right well I think the second he said that's

6:51 my Asian count that's when it became making fun of Asians yeah if he would just be like if he would have been like this oh okay there's my made-up language right instead of being like Oh that's my Asian version then it's like oh yeah yeah because then everyone's like oh that sounds Chinese but he doesn't know right I feel bad for the kids because I think for us we've been through all of it and we're like oh this guy's just stupid you know but then for the kids when they're all young and stuff and right after the graduation imagine how many more times they've heard that on the way out into the parking lot the white homies yeah yeah and that's the issue you're right you're right right yeah now they're gonna hear that maybe all of next year too yeah I do like that from from the outrage over ████ like this context or not people are more like they get that doing that is like

7:42 something you don't do you feel me like making fun of an Asian language like with the ching chongs and ████ it's more like now if you read comments people are like oh that's not cool you know what I'm saying as before it was it was just everyone was like oh this is a funny thing yeah yeah yeah and then like and then like because now even like I remember watching some of the stand up back then that I watched I just saw on like on whatever and uh even back then feeling like God this is such a a cheap easy joke yeah it's hacking yeah and but now you know people know that like hey you know what this is uh we find this offensive guy so it's like they don't even do it right my favorite one that'll always get a pass though is in rush hour too after Jackie Chan or after Chris Tucker finds out Jackie Chan and Don Cheadle have like the same uh Master yeah or like uh their Master Brothers he tells them like all this like talk ████ about Chris Tucker or whatever like in Cantonese he walks away Chris Tucker though

8:33 yeah look all the rush hour jokes get passes bro for sure everybody gets it everybody gets it so then it's okay and the context is them learning about each other you know what I'm saying yeah they end up being better people yeah it makes sense the bit about Chris Tucker saying like you guys Asian people be freaking out all the time and he's like no Chinese people are very confident he's like not when Godzilla comes around he's like I'll be going crazy that Don Cheadle ████ that scene like me and chill actually quote that teacher all the time Chris Tucker's voice it's just it's all that's just hilarious right he just sell them so but at the same time I ████ slap you back to Africa

9:23 plus there's no power dynamic in that relationship yeah it's like they're in it together it's fish out of water in the same bucket it's not like oh this is someone up here and this is someone down there just getting dunked on dude I would get these really annoying comments like from the wild and out days where like just random dudes on forums would be like no attempt to sell out because he gets on that show and lets everyone make Asian jokes to him like what are you supposed to do is ████ him I'm like yeah like what are you supposed to do ████ fight everybody do you not watch literally 10 seconds later when I clap back and I ████ like own everybody like what the ████ are you talking about I'm up there like we're going back and forth I'm like literally like defending our people up there and what like what are you even saying but that makes you a ████ that like to get all riled up and go wait a minute ████ you guys you hurt my feelings like that actually makes you

10:13 look even worse can you imagine if he did that yo DJ Cut the music why'd you say that do you not understand what my people go through when you say things like that is that is that a bell is that a bell or a buzzer everybody all these like AO team's about to leave again he's gonna storm out oh my God the better thing is to keep cool play along and then ████ destroy them in the game yeah man I mean yeah yeah you did that yeah well you know thanks man yeah thanks buddy foreign
