0:00 How come Asians always just take it? >> What do you mean? >> Damn, that's a good question, bro. >> Because we also take out >> What do What do you mean? What do I mean? >> I don't know. It seemed like like a generic stereotypically docile. We are non-confrontational. We try to do things that like are usually viewed as kind of like keep your head low, stay focused. To be honest, I think like to to to like start it off not mayor, I think it's because they're smarter. >> Yep. Oh, >> I think Asians have a generally higher IQ of how to deal with situations >> where it's like they won't stoop down to the level of what's happening in front of them. Rather, they would exit it and just succeed. >> Oh, you're talking about like dealing with conflict type stuff. >> Well, it's up to whatever you think. >> So, yesterday this was brought up and I was like, that's a topic, bro. And like, yeah, why do you guys just take it? >> Wait, wait, where was it brought up? It
0:50 was brought up in the context of like as Asians I think that you guys are more like raised to be uh more passive. >> Oh, >> I I understand that. Yeah. >> Okay. It's be I know what it is. It's because um so a lot of it is focused on social harmony. [snorts] So like it's about avoiding conflict. Like that's like what makes you the better human being, right? But then like when you deal with a lot of the lesser races, what ends up happening? >> Which ones? Uh all of them but Asian. [laughter] But like when you they they typically deal with a lot of the whole pride ████ It's like oh you disrespect me. ████ you. >> Yeah. It's like ego. >> Yeah. So it's like you can't let them do that to you. And then like they need to fight to prove themselves and ████ Right. But then I think like Asian styles like uh okay I'm going to buy your whole neighborhood and
1:41 >> genocide you in that way. >> Yeah. Or they'll they'll say like, "I'm then I'm going to be an entrepreneur and never hire anyone that looks like you." >> Oh, ████ >> It goes that deep though. That's how that's how you end up with that systemic racism that people talk about. It's like that guy was wronged in some way and now he's just wronging it back his own way. >> I do think it's extremely multifactor. Like one is the we're born to be more communal. Uh social harmony is a huge deal. And so I think internally you already have those values. you're looking for like uh ways to like to to rise. And then the other one is we're a lot of us I think are also born to have um long-term vision. So it goes like you know like I think like going to like Occupy LA where you're like hey Wall Street stop ████ taking over. You're like um okay so I'll do that for an
2:32 hour. What's the hour ROI on that? versus in an hour I could probably drive Uber Eats and maybe make a hundred bucks, >> right? >> So, I think because of that long long-term vision, a lot of the stuff that is actually more cinematic like in the way movies are like, "Oh, we're going to fight for whatever." I think Asians are like, "If I just avoid this moment, I can win big." On the other end, >> I do think that um a lot of like non-Asians though, their lives are driven by like respect and how people see them >> or like in a way where it's like >> they'll risk it all for that. >> Like they they did you see what they like like it's cuz they don't have much, right? So if you don't have much and all you got is pride, >> then like you're like you got to let them talk to you like that or like whatever. And then >> to me I'm like damn that's a lot of work. >> So taking it isn't like um doesn't take
3:24 anything away from you. No. >> So, like a good example would be like you know in uh Enter the Dragon like Bruce Lee >> with the boat. The art of fighting without fighting that one. >> No, >> never mind. End of the dragon. >> You know when like the Japanese >> Enter Dragon when the Japanese No, wait. What? >> No. What? >> End of the Wait. Oh, Fist of Fury. I'm sorry. Chinese Connection. Fist of Fury. You're right. You're right. You're right. >> Oh, the the long hair red hair. >> Yeah. So, in Chinese Connection or Fist of Fury, you know, when the Japanese guys came and they punked all the Chinese dudes? >> Yeah. The consensus is all the Chinese dudes were like, "Okay, that was just a moment. Let it pass." But Bruce Lee is the hot head that took it upon himself to go and now started a war between two dojoos. And so like even from the lens of like that film, it's like everyone was looking at him like why the ████ would you ████ do that? Yes, our master's dead and this guy's like, "No,
4:15 it's all about justice." Like no. >> And they all died by the way. Glad. >> Yeah, everybody died. I'm glad he brought up Bruce Lee because I think Asians we don't take it. We just fight different. We're like very Jackie Chan. >> It's like it's I don't want trouble. It's you don't want >> I DON'T WANT TROUBLE. WHY I KICK YOUR ASS? >> You know what I'm saying? But you got you'll do what you have to do every single time. >> This prompt says how come Asians always just take it. >> Okay, fine. >> How do we how come they take it in the ass? >> I think that the easiest way that I've defined it is that it's not it's very rarely an even trade. Like if some random guy wants to fight you because he feels disrespected, it's not an even trade. Your life pro you probably have a higher net worth than this guy. Like it's just not worth d like both of your debts are not equal cuz this guy's dumb enough to like put on the line over nothing at all. It's very rare that Asians sacrifice themselves for like
5:05 nothing at all >> because the Asian guy is probably studied his ████ ass off, went to ████ Stanford and now works at Wall Street. Like that whole process he's aiming for something huge. It would be the same thing as like like let's say in the black community you have a kid that is hustling ████ hard. He wants to make it to the NFL one day and the exact same values that the parents are like don't let these stupid ████ distract you from from your goal like don't let that fight don't get a DUI. It's that same thing but we have that like ingrained sensor little trying to be an engineer or doctor whatever like that's the north star. Don't let anything get in the way of it. But there's als there's also the the whole like um keeping your head down like you know in the workplace, right? There'll be some bully or like a snarky ████ that'll like make stupid aggress passive aggressive comments or whatever, right? But a lot of the times like because Asian dudes just won't engage. They
5:57 they're kind of like, "Oh, you're a ████ Why don't you say something back?" And then it's like, "Why? It's stupid. Like that guy's a ████ Like why should I engage with him? He's picking on you. He's ████ with you. You got to do something about So that character like on that character right now I'm like hey uh so like what are you doing karate lead or something like that? >> Yeah. [laughter] >> So in the in the Asian perspective instead of engaging and then fighting back and setting the boundary >> it's like that guy is like a crazy homeless guy. Why even entertain what he has to say? >> Okay. Got it. >> Yeah. It's like the the whole thing with uh I think what's different today is that more Asians are acting like egging each other on not to take it but yet they don't act any different because now we have comments and ████ So, whenever you see like a Asian dude getting ████ up on a viral video, all the little Asian commenters are just like, "Nah, not me. I wouldn't let that happen." Or
6:47 like they'll be like, "Why did he just let him kick him?" And it's like they have this like weird illusion that they're not also still doing that, you know? >> Yeah. >> Like, bro, you do you want other people to fight these fights, >> right? Or you have the neck shark people that are finally standing up for themselves, but the way they do it is so ████ lame that it looks like, >> oh, now we really want to beat you up. >> There's no evidence of them going out and getting active. Not them, you know? Like there are people doing that, but still it's not an even trade. >> But their idea of standing up and making a creating a boundary is complaining. And I'm like, that's not how it's done, bro. Like >> it's like you're an HOA president now. >> Yeah. >> It doesn't really work the same way. Yeah. >> Doesn't make people like want to follow you. >> But that is the way that I've always learned is that the best revenge is just to succeed. That's it. Cuz then you you give that up if you just want to fight and what? Lose an eye like that for this
7:38 guy. Who's that guy? >> For what? So you >> get respect from an idiot that's like that you feel disrespectful >> from nobody. That's the thing. I feel like Asians might have a something in their frontal lobe is like really developed because I feel like a lot of the time they're able to weigh consequences and go, "What the ████ This is not worth it. >> What race do you think doesn't have their frontal lobe developed the same way? >> The the most >> the one with that shape like a light bulb. >> I think whichever one inbreeds the most honestly. >> Yeah, cuz low IQ. >> Yeah, that really is like if you're inbreeding, it's not doing any good for your >> Here's a good example. Like um so >> you know how people talk about like I can't give up. This is my culture, right? And there's certain parts of your culture that you should ████ give up cuz it's outdated. like maybe cannibalism or whatever, right? Maybe. Yeah. Yeah. But then like
8:29 >> Europeans gave up hella of their own culture to modernize. They gave they, you know, there's a lot of things that they had to just remove to move forward, right? And I was like watching this video of like Japan basically quickly ████ uh they were getting destroyed by like um by the tech of colonists, right? Coming in force giving them s█████ trade deals or whatever. So they're like, "Okay." So they pulled money, sent hella people to Europe, America, hired hella people to come to Japan and like learn all their ████ They removed all the feudal ████ that was keeping them behind. And then they they were stockpiling like manufacturing guns and all that stuff. And all of a sudden they turned it around on the Europeans and said, "All right, dude. We don't like your contracts." So, I'm like, "Yeah, that's actually a way smarter way than being
9:19 like,"Oh, I'm a I'm a ████ victim and then you guys been ████ with me. Like, I can't do anything about it." And it's like, "Well, maybe throw away the voodoo ████ that you had in your culture and then modernize, >> copy the enemy, and then just ████ turn the guns on them." And I'm all like, that to me is the simplest ████ ever. But you have a lot of different groups out there that can't do it because they're like, "No, this is my culture. Like, this is who we I'm like, you're stuck in the ████ stone ages. Like, you got to modernize. But I don't know, maybe that's the whole pragmatic like Asian mind that maybe sometimes it's like >> maybe it's just too um what you call it like the value system's off. Like some people will never give up their idea of what the culture is, even if it's damaging them. >> I think the take it on the average from people thinking Asians always take it is from like stupid street level ████ But
10:10 Asians didn't take it when they weren't being led into ████ Harvard and Stanford and ████ You know what I mean? Like they fought back. They'll fight back when it truly benefits them. >> Rooftop Koreans didn't take it. >> Yeah. They they'll fight back when it's of actual benefit. >> Yeah. >> We do the best war crimes. Do it. I don't want trouble. The I got disrespected ████ doesn't really exist. At least I don't think it's it stayed in high school. It was very prevalent in high school Asians. And then when you got this ████ ████ you realized all the actual things that your parents were saying were real, then you were like, "Okay, I got to get my ████ together." And that was it. You learned your lesson and then you moved on. >> But it's because the things that dis that's supposed to feel disrespectful though. Like if someone called me ████ boy, I'm like, I don't care. But if someone paid for the bill and I couldn't get to the bill, that's when I feel disrespectful. [laughter] I'm like, you ████ you didn't let me pay, ████ And I'm like,
11:01 see, I think the things that disrespect us is just doesn't it doesn't make no sense, you know? It's like, what the ████ You ████ bought a house for mom and dad before I could. What's wrong with you? And I'm all like that. No one ever thinks like that, you know? >> But even like Asian gangs in the back in the day, even a lot of those guys weren't truly down to die for the gang. A lot of those guys weren't that down. >> A lot of them graduated into very prestigious places in their lives, you know. >> Are you saying they were more down to take it? >> What do you mean? I mean, if you think about it, like, >> no, they're down to they're down to be strategic. They're not down to just >> Yeah, that's that's the part that's built in. >> Yeah. It's like a strategy. It's not like, oh, three on three, let's all die tonight and have our graves be respected. They Nobody We Nobody thought like that. Yeah. Like that's crazy. [sighs and gasps] >> H I don't know. But it sounds It's really fun to be an Asian supremacist
11:52 though and then tell the world that we're the superior ones no matter what. >> I think Asians prefer long game is what it is. So, the short-term thinking or the short-term people are like, "Yo, that's that's like you're taking it up the ass cuz you don't do nothing." >> But that might also be because most Asians can visualize ownership of something, >> you know, like where they're like, "I'm not going to waste my time fighting for this. I want all of it." You know, like, >> or maybe the other thing is ultimately the biggest boogeyman that you're scared of is your parents. >> So, you're like, "F███, if I get in a fight, you don't even care if that guy whips your ass. Like I just want my mom to whoop my ass. >> Yeah, [laughter] >> cuz if she finds out, she's really going to whoop my ass. >> That's the shame, dude. The parental shame. >> How come dancers always just take it >> up the butt? >> Yeah. Is >> that what you want me to say? >> Some guys in India who pay you. I know what you ████ do for 15k a pop every
12:43 time you go over the >> That's the true way. >> Yep. Yep. Yep. >> Fine. You want to talk about it? Fine. Let's talk about dance. Yeah. Dancers are the bottom of the barrel of the entertainment industry. And I wish they were better represented, which is why the unions need to get together. And he was actually on the dancers alliance, by the way. He Yeah, I He was, >> by the way, calling for union means you're taking it, >> dude. That's why he's the mayor. He was on the actual >> I was an actual like dancers union guy. >> He's the dancers union guy. Like he was like the rep. >> Why didn't he do anything? Why is he letting you guys take it so hard? >> We tried. We partnered with SAG and almost got it, but the artist didn't want to uh accept it. Yeah. >> Wow. >> But we did. We tried. >> We took it, baby. >> Sounds like you guys really tried. Holy ████ >> Sounds like you guys really took it, though. >> Cuz that's all you can really >> The actual mer of this. All you can really do is outline a bunch of parameters that hopefully they'll want to play ball with. And like some of them did, like you know, Justin Timberlake I think did. Jayla I don't think did. Um I
13:33 don't think Beyonce couldn't give a ████ I don't think. [laughter] >> Were you like look our standards are we want to pop but we don't want to lock. >> We lock we get locked up. [laughter] >> It was actually very reasonable too. It was like this is how much we should be getting paid for rehearsal days. This is how much we should get paid for travel days. How much for the gig? And it wasn't that much. They like, "I got an uncle that'll do it for free, so shut [laughter] up." >> It was still hardly a livable wage. But then also, we can't stop new dancers from coming to town and undercutting, so it doesn't matter. And they know that. So they just go, "Okay, you guys won't do it. All right, here's a public email to everybody. They'll fill the spots." >> Were you guys like, "We don't want to do the worm. We want to do the what?" And then we want to get up before we hurt our knees. >> Are you just want me to keep lobbing you joke setups? >> That was so bad. >> That was actually an anti joke from lunch that I caught that I I just duped. You liked it. >> I had a lot more RZ.
14:23 >> You always have more RZ. I can't do anything about that. >> Asians are going to dominate the world. I didn't win this video, but you lost. [laughter]
