Jews Asians 🤝 being targeted by that lyric in particular (Context: I'm a Jew) Edit: come to think of it, there are actually a lot of stereotypes shared by both anti-Asian racism and antisemitism? I guess because historically Asian people and Jewish people both tend to be immigrants to places like the USA, and are seen as outsiders/intruders? Still seems odd how that turned out. If you're both Jewish and of Asian descent (I'm Jewish but of European descent and Ashkenazic), what's your experience with this? If you feel like sharing?

[@powersofdestruction5694]

I do see what they’re saying by saying this is meant to satirize fetishization of Asian women (it’s so insane that I can’t see any other explanation), but they don’t do it with any tact or degree of self-awareness. Like, compare this to Oingo Boingo’s Little Girls, which the lead singer wrote about how a lot of big names in Hollywood creep on young girls. In the song, they intentionally make the lead sound creepy and out-of-his-mind, framing the stuff he says as insane and evil. Satire without clear demonstration of intent is indistinguishable from what it is satirizing, especially when it’s something as inherently unhinged as racism.

[@Notcleverenough]

[@ps1hagridoufofcharacter]

that last sentence, for real. i cant stress this enough

[@gamagoori]

yeah the article said they were satirizing "themselves" and other men which..... they dont have any of the self awareness required to satirize yourself. this is just an exaggerated depiction of racist fetishization without actually critiquing the racism so the end product is just exaggerated over the top racism.

Just in case you truly missed it, "Your momma's so pretty" is the stereotype that Asian women don't noticeably age. So called "positive" stereotypes are still harmful.

I wouldn’t say that Asian women don’t noticeably age is a stereotype. Considering with most older asian women do age well. I’ve seen many where you look at a picture of say a 40 year old Chinese women to when she was 20 and she has aged well and there is barely a difference.

The song is just never appropriately disparaging to the racist white men so it doesn't work as satire. "17 or 23, doesn't matter to me" could have been improved by adding "because I'm a creep." Every filler line they came up with could have been replaced by actually demeaning the racist white man characters they were supposedly playing. Also, they are objectifying the actress they hired so that completely negates their attempt at satire.

[@philipsalama8083]

It would be so easy to do, as well. They could have thrown in a line about weeaboos who think they're Japanese because they watch anime, or about obese 45 year old white guys who go overseas for sex tourism - it'd do a much better job making it clear that it's satire.

@@demongirlfriend That got me wheezing. Thank you lol

[@morganpetts9608]

its possible you heard it in another video like the full podcast vid or when jordan watched it before on stream

[@hollien.8836]

theres so many freaks on the actual yt video's comments saying its just fun and a joke and its not harmful. Pidgeonholing Asian women into mean stereotypes and expecting that from them, teasing them, fetishizing, etc, isnt fun, its not a joke, its just fueling the racist people that listen to and see that video more.

[@hollien.8836]

@jewLUBEkneegahRsWHINE acting a certain way and saying things that are disrespectful and fetishizing might make others think it's fine to act like an asshole around these women in real life. A person might see comments like yours and take it too far and actually hurt or abuse these women. You might think you're joking, but other people sometimes dont, and that can spread and turn into something more dangerous. Fueling abusive and horrible people by making them think other people agree with them and that these women are just things to make fun of, humiliate and do whatever with. Using threatening language like that towards me to defend a 'joke' just shows that it's not what normal people should think and joke about. You aren't funny, or edgy, or anything else, you're just racist.

​@jewLUBEkneegahRsWHINE fuck man I was gonna make a comment arguing with you but you got that kanye west ass username I'm not even gonna try

[@ic5889]

This video perfectly demonstrates the delight in showing something truly awful to your friend

[@venusx6668]

the best thing about this video is the sad boyz' reactions. worst thing? knowing this exists now, oh my god.

[@Quadrophiniac]

Bruh, I assumed this music video was like 30 years old, but it came out in 2013! what the actual fuck?

[@RHR199X]

Maybe the 2000’s but man that’s so much worse

[@kajamatousek247]

Time is a flat circle and bigots are always waiting just around the corner

[@josilly]

16:30 deceased. any and all hope that i had of being able to recover and cope with what this song has inflicted upon me has been lost.

[@LoveLee_Dreamer]

There are a couple of lines where I can almost get what they were going for, like the "New year's in February, that's fine with me (I guess)" There's an attempt to be sort of satirical like Stephen Colbert pretending to be conservative, but most of the time it doesn't hit like that and just makes you uncomfortable. When it comes to what they were trying to do, you never want to make the person who is victimized by the fetishism the butt of the joke. In the line I mentioned, they were making themselves sound stupid by being "Okay with it I guess" instead of with all the other lines where they're more making fun of the cultures themselves. If they'd focused on making lines that showed how THEY are being ignorant and how stupid they sound, instead of just saying stereotypes, it could have worked.

[@mspaint4268]

Who the fuck is bros ghost writer THE KLAN!?!??!

[@mikeyahl7363]

Its been months. I keep coming back. I can't stop. It melts my brain every time.

[@PastelWitchy]

Beethoven been real quiet ever since "You're My Asian Girl" dropped

[@squedlly]

Who wouldn't? This song is a world-wide, 4-minute stun with every negative status condition in the book on top...

[@enemyanemone9086]

This song gives me a full body allergic reaction, after every line I have to pause to hyperventilate.

[@scoopishere7881]

I can feel Hopsin jolting awake knowing his record for most sexually racist song towards asian women being put at stake.

[@ununnam8859]

This makes me want to just stop existing now please god im begging you spare me

[@mcauleygrace794]

the problem with this video is that it’s very good and funny but also that song is such an earworm and this all results in me being haunted by racism for days whenever i rewatch bc i CANNOT GET THIS SONG OUT OF MY HEAD

[@johnnyray9107]

Every line is just pause worthy

[@Banaynaysss]

3:00 Jarvis’s “WHAT?!?!” Gets me every time bro

[@MosesSuppose]

This song is rad, dudes! I used to request it at every family Bar Mitzvah. I haven’t been invited to one in years, probably unrelated. Thanks Day Above Ground!

[@StephMichelleXx]

KZbin gave me a content warning before playing the video and I was like it can’t be that bad?! I was wrong. Very wrong.

[@jacobtallen]

I completely burst out laughing at jordans face after the we'll send you back line Edit: now throwing up at "17 or 23 doesn't matter to me"

[@heathercalun4919]

"They only got one Day Above Ground before being sent back to hell" *GOT'EM!* It works on an extra level of irony, because Levy Tran is still enjoying a successful career in American film and television, meanwhile the guys who threatened to deport her character have been _sent back to where they came from_ which again, in this context... is six feet under.

[@knucklescapricorn31]

This song sounds like something the gang from It's Always Sunny would write.

[@shellyvision9693]

Racism world record speedrun any% (slurless)

[@COrraThereal0ne]

Caucasian playthrough 😂

[@cadenza23]

Jordan showing this song to everyone he knows is my favorite series on KZbin.

[@bobbytabernacle]

This is Theo’s girlfriend from Haunting of Hill House glad she was able to recover from this haha

[@punchymcgee]

I was hoping someone would point that out
