Today I’m reacting to a viral TikTok of a woman filming herself confronting her Uber driver over comments he made about Asians. Was she right to stop the ride, call him out, and post the video online? Or is this just another case of over-sensitivity to perceived racism? Let’s watch.

As a white guy I had a very similar conversation with an Asian uber driver where he said I looked French and I replied that I was Scottish heritage. We had a very funny conversation about the differences in European facial features and laughed. I can't imagine how sad someine must be to get this uptight about that

I work with a lot of guys from India and they are always very curious about my green eyes and wonder where I’m from because of how rare bright green eyes like mine are. They’ve found it fascinating to learn about my family and how surprisingly enough because we have an English background a lot of us have green eyes. It wasn’t racist at all. It was just curiosity about the different features humans have and it’s been a fun topic discuss because they have their own differences that I got to learn about

As a point of interest, there was a wave of Norman settlement in Scotland in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. The Normans, as I'm sure you know, come from Normandy, and are a people who resulted from the intermingling of Norse settlers and native Franks and Gallo-Romans. So, it's entirely possible that as someone whose ancestors are Scots, you may also very well have ancestors from France.

That's the way it usually goes. Someone sees something, makes a guess based on their own knowledge, experience, assumptions, etc... asks that person about it... and then the person is wrong. And then you have a conversation about that. I'm mixed race of a few and people ask me if I'm Mexican, Native American, etc all the time. I'm not, not even close, but it doesn't offend me at all. It's often even hard to tell where someone's actually from even if they're native. There was that one Japanese guy (I think Yuta or something) with a KZbin video where he asked Japanese people if they could recognize from which south-eastern Asian country people were from. And... they had just as much of a hard time telling as non-Asians would. Even for Japanese people themselves they had a hard time telling. It's just dumb to assume someone knows everything about you just by 1 look. Not just dumb, it's very arrogant. And then getting mad about it as well. Honestly, it's no different from those pathetic nobles that got mad at people not being able to tell their status just based on how the nobles acted. You'd think we went back to the middle ages.

I'm a Brit in Japan, and yesterday I was cleaning my bike on my doorstep. A random guy comes up to me and asks me where I'm from, how long I've been in Japan, what Japanese food I like, what nationality my family is, and what passport I hold. He also told me that I'm a Christian. What do I do? Scream racism and get offended? In that case I'd be offended pretty much every time I stepped outside my house. People are curious, that's all.

They were just so happy to see people respecting their culture and trying to learn about it. Loved our time there.

I worked for a dermatologist years ago as a medical assistant. I was assisting with a skin biopsy of a dark skinned woman. When the doctor removed the piece of skin, I could see clearly the melanin in the surface of the skin and the rest was non-pigmented underneath the epidermis. I mentioned how, even though we all look different on the surface, you can see we are all the same underneath. The woman was so angry that she told the doctor, after I left the room, how racist I was and she could not believe what I said. I meant nothing of the sort. I was actually saying we are all the same regardless of what our superficial appearance may look like. The doctor understood where I was coming from. She even told me how I was looking at it as a student and learning about the body. I still, over 20 years later, remember this day like it was yesterday. I cannot imagine going about life being so sensitive to others innocent comments. It must be a miserable existence.

It isn’t personal toward her, it isn’t a negative comment yet simply referring to any characteristic or expressing curiosity is seen as INEXCUSABLE to SJWs…. I’m sorry but people have gotten too sensitive. I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s where kids still got teased and through exposure to these types of situations I learned resilience.

5:07 Most of my life, I’ve heard people say “I can’t be racist against black people, I have black friends” is not evidence against racist ideas. What I accepted was that one simply had to make a different argument in an attempt to refute someone’s accusation of “racist”. But now, in recent years, I’ve heard black people say how much they like it when they have white friends who laugh at the “white people” comments they make - and what I hear is “I’m not racist against white people, I have white friends” - which… I’m just like … okay, this debate just got more complicated So this girl… she responds that it’s an “excuse” that he has a Chinese girlfriend; and all I see is justification for her hate. She’s decided that, whatever he says at this point, she thinks she already knows him well enough to be able to say anything about him - and it’s not possible that she made a mistake. I mean, she’d be absolutely embarrassed to find out she was wrong, wouldn’t she? It’s very human to try to save face by remaining confident, but Her own prejudice is what’s causing the problem. 💙

I asked someone where they were from as they had an accent and she said it was racist. The irony is that I'm not actually from the country I live in but she assumed I was. So just asking "Where are you from" is now enough to cause offence. In the past, this was the most normal, boring and innocuous question imaginable. Now even small talk is offensive to some of them.

But before they left, they gave them one last touch up and instead, they actually removed the scars from their faces without them knowing. They all reported back that they were 100% discriminated against. The moral: If you believe you are a victim, you will see discrimination everywhere you go.

If someone who interacts with customers shows racism a company would sack them to avoid backlash, to protect the people of that race and keep a certain standard of customer service. That means practically anyone has the power to get someone fired depending on the actions of the customer service provider. In this instance of course it was not racism but personally I feel it was understandable ignorance and all she had to do was explain and not over-react. This was not an instance that got him fired hopefully partially because most people are disagreeing with her and clearly it was not racism.

They were pests and as a man in my household, I took up my duty to painlessly kill them. It was an awful experience. I don't like death. No one does. Change, however, does not come through starting needless arguments online or forcing your worldview on others. That's a brassy form of virtue signaling and, I assure you, nobody cares and nobody thinks you really care about what you talk about. What are you doing for the poor animals?

She measures her response based on the intent of the person asking. If they're literally well-meaning and just curious, she'll kindly tell them. Only 1-2 times in the near decade we've been together has someone come off intentionally snarky / rude / mean-hearted...to which she either ignores them, or replies with "figure it out on your own time - have a blessed day!" I honestly find myself getting more upset in those rare instances than she does - but then again, she's so graceful and kind in all she does, it's just natural for her to handle even the most uncomfortable situations with such class. I'm very blessed to have her as my partner in life and best friend.

Last Uber I took, my driver had an "accent"... I asked him where he was from. He said, "A place maybe you never heard of, Mombasa." I told him I have always wanted to go to Kenya. He was thrilled I knew of his home town and amazed that I wished to visit his country. We talked about The Big 5, the Maasai, their jewelry, the poverty in Mombasa, as well as Tanzania, Namibia, and Botswana. He was proud to talk about his heritage and delighted to meet someone who appreciated his culture. This person was looking for a fight. She blew it. It is a sad commentary on society if we have to fear trying to connect with people.

Yeah we are not perfect but we are not a bad lot... And I am really happy when people tell me they enjoyed visiting or are curious about my country... I was a visitor in the country my driver immigrated to so maybe he felt good about someone being excited about is homeland. Who knows? He was definitely surprised I knew his home city was in Kenya. Maybe not a well known city? Americans are a little notorious at being bad at geography... But it's my trivia hobby... : )

I joke around with an African lady and mentioned the name of two warring tribes in her country. She feigned ignorance the first day but when I pressed her on it she boisterously told me her father was very rich and they had a big house in the city and those ' people ' were way off in the country and were nobodies. All in good jest but it shows even touchy subjects can be handled lightly.

Sadly identity politics is ruining that diversity.

I’m a black woman, I used to think it might be racist if white people say we all look the same. I recently moved to a town that is 98% white. And when I tell you, many times a day I think to myself “damn…many of them look the exact same”. I do not believe it’s a racism thing. I think it’s simply an ethnic thing. Even when two black ppl look very similar I can tell them apart because I grew up around black ppl. So it makes sense to apply to all ethnicities. You’d probably have to be someone who always grew up around people who were like so incredibly diverse

Kind of true, if they are just acquaintances. But in the case of Asians for me it is hard to tell if they are Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese etc. put on top of that her British (I guess) accent. Asking people where they were from used to be a conversation starter, now I just rarely ask any questions that could possibly offend someone, which pretty much could be nearly anything. Sad. With that deterrent, along with everyone’s nose being buried in their phones, soon it will be rare to talk to anyone unnecessarily.

My wife is Mexican, came here in 2001. I'm on my HOA board where I live and I had to get estimates for sidewalk repairs. So a vendor comes and we're walking our property and just talking and I ask if he's Mexican. I told him what state my wife is from in Mexico and we were just joking around about women. His wife is American. So I was talking to my fellow board members and we had already been discussing three companies we had bids from, so I said I think the Mexican guy (for the life of my i couldnt remember his company name) is the best price and does the best work as he did the development across the street. Well one of the other board members says to me that's offensive and racist as her husband that died was Mexican! And I was flabbergasted and said BUT HE IS MEXICAN! And how can what I said be racist when my wife is Mexican?! People will be offended by everything and you have to keep it moving and ignore them.
