That's why I'm pretty selective as to which reactors I'll watch. Some reactors are fairly lowkey and that's fine but there are also many reactors that are performative much more than genuine. They tend to get more performative when they attain a high subscriber count. It's like they've switched to a personal brand performance rather than an average joe first time movie watcher. Only a few stay genuine.

Fun fact: Jackie Chan was still learning to be fluent in English while filming. So when he said that word, he had no idea the connotation behind it. When Chris Tucker reveal the definition of the word, Jackie Chan swore to never say it ever again and apologized. Kind of messed up to make someone say that, but the scene is hilarious and pure gold.

As a black guy i find this scene hilarious. But we could never do it today with how sensitive people are now. But when it comes to the word im kinda in the middle in terms of opinion. On one hand i like that we took a dark part of our history and flipped it into something positive. One the other hand i get why some people are confused about how only blacks can use it but no one else. Kinda like how women can call each other the B word but when a guy does it its offensive. Idk im kinda conflicted tbh.

[@mikeydubbs8565]

Growing up white in MA, I’ve mostly heard blacks referred to as “The brothas”, referring to working class fellowship. But I’ve heard that word used in hateful ways, like we were smoking a blunt and one dude we were with said, “Hey, Reggie, don’t you lip it”, indirectly calling him the N word. As a white dude with biracial family members, I hate the word, but only when white people use it

my favorite part of all of this is, everyone is super shocked and offended, when an Asian man says the same words as a black man. The same words...this is one of the best examples of where society is. We haven't even hit the rotten bottom yet.

[@tyronevaldez-kruger5313]

There is a huge difference between an Asian and a black man saying "what's up my n.... ". To a black man who might respond not friendly to the Asian guy who's not his brotha. Society hit rock bottom because of ignorance. This example is just staged and does not reflect real life in which gnorants worship an orange cult leader. This is rock bottom.

[@w1-w2-w3]

When I first saw that scene, I have no idea why these people fought Jackie Chan. Even after watching it, I still didn't get it because they didn't explain why. I think 99% of Aisan who watched that movies, won't understand it either. I just thought those people are wild. I just knew about it 2 years ago, that N word is the offensive word. I still don't understand why Black folks are happily using that word among them. That is so confusing for a lot of us, Asian. In Asian, if the word has the offensive meaning, it mean offensive for everyone.

Growing up, I had an older neighbor from Argentina who came to live with her son's family in the early 2010's, she didn't speak English and used Spanish or Spanglish a lot. She once use the word "negro" to describe a car while outside with other neighbor, two Black teen got all offended and wanted to fight her, a frail old women in her late 70s. By the time I explained to their mom what was happening, they've assaulted the old grandma. The old lady's 4 grandkids, in turn, beat the stupid out of the Black kids. The Black mom, a college professor, decided that her kids were taught a valuable lesson in cultural diversity and was ok with the outcome. Great parent!

[@nancysorto4769]

The one thing a lot of people missed was the actual pronunciation of the way "Carter" was saying the word is different from the way it's typed on screen for the subtitles. He pronounces it ending with an, -a, and not an, -er. So when the Carter character instructs the Lee character to, "Say what I say and do what I do", right before entering the bar, Lee was just following Carter's instructions. If you're still offended, I'm sorry but this is how "chill" they were back in the late 90's to early 2000's; if you wanna blame someone, blame the one/s who did the subtitles. Also, let's not forget how "racial" the Carter character was towards the Lee character in their first meeting, yet both characters as well as the actors that portray them, become the closest of friends despite being from two different backgrounds and cultures.

He deserves it? People clearly cant understand that people from another culture who have never been around our own wouldn't understand what's ok and whats not. Those people in the video saying he deserved it are idiots. There's a difference between being purposely antagonistic and straight up ignorant. Jackie was clearly supposed to be ignorant to the customs just as much as Carter was to the customs in China. Geezus.

[@JHOTA5220]

The people trying to get offended are weak. The whole point was that Jackie had zero clue and just copied Carter. I enjoy these reactions to 90s comedies when movies were funny because everybody wasn’t a bunch of whiny weak little pussies

[@atvena]

He couldn't have said "what did you just say" any more perfect

[@wesleylatham3913]

The joke and bit are funny until you learn that Bret Ratner, the director of the, film purposefully mislead Jackie Chan while directing the scene as Jackie was not familiar with the English lines. Jackie later went back to ask Ratner what it was that he was saying that elicited such a strong response from the bar men so as to make them want to fight. Upon the revelation that the word was such an oppressive word Jackie became disgusted and enraged warning that he never be misled into saying such filthy things like that ever again. I worry that the director didn't end up doing the same thing for the scenes in RH2 where Lee is telling Carter about what "Dirty movies" he likes to watch.

As the greatest stunt king since his younger days to now his retirement of becoming the best martial artist actor, he 100 percent has the N word pass, and plus this movie was like 20 or so years ago, and so you can't really be offended by it if this is your first time watching it because he played his role in acting before and the scripted done.
