>Shanghai! Hong Kong! Egg Foo Young!>Fortune Cookie always wrongIt always both amused and befuddled me how even in time periods where racism wasn’t really questioned, Disney seemed extra racist to Asians
Many of these people lived through WW2, the Korean War, and Vietnam. That probably tended to color some views
>>153095133You could be super racist towards Asians well into the 2000s.
>>153095210Dana Snyder did yellowface racist caricature for Adult Swim five years after Master Shake and the start of ATHF. Nobody gave two shits or a fuck until around 2010.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsNVBkz4tEY
>>153095271Well Minoriteam in itself was mocking racism/ Political Correctness in of itself. Really the problem is we became so fearful of seeming racist we banned media showing contextual racism. It's like a prude society banning textbook diagrams of naked people due to decency.
>>153095297Yeah but then he also did blackface as Master Shake and it was just sort of racist but nobody cared at the time because the character is a talking milkshake and it aired at 12:30 at night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Egb4paCoPM
>>153095210We can't even have asians that look Asian anymore
>>153095133When the worst thing they can say about your people is 'they talk funny', I think you've succeeded as a culture.That's why most of the black-people-stuff in the early 20th century was trying to cultivate something like that. Get them to be less 'subhuman brutes' and more 'silly guys who dance and sing about their mammies'.Eliminating stereotypes is hard, replacing them is cake.>>153095210I remember being astounded 'Chop Socky Chooks' was allowed. or 'Yin Yang Yo' or especially 'Xiaolin Showdown' which felt like a 10 year old american kid in the 90s came up with it.
>>153095133>have black cat>have russian cat >can't have chinese cat why are they so sensitive...
It was unironically a better time. Now people just go like ''all japanese are racist, sexist, homophobic, and pedophile!!'' instead.It's just that the tactics have changed.
>>153095371Are you retarded?
>>153095791Both are trve doe
>>153095371That too was mocking Master Shake's racism. The racism was the joke, him being black emphasizes it. Like the take away from salty caramel isn't that it's sweet,it's how the salt emphasizes the caramel. Racism is the salt.
>>153095546>When the worst thing they can say about your people is 'they talk funny', I think you've succeeded as a culture.Did you forget about gutter oil?
>>153095133>Egg Foo Young!It amuses me how different the popular Chinese foods in America were back then. Like you can still get Egg Foo Young of course, it's just an omelet. But it gets mentioned more in older media, along with Chop Suey.Has anyone here even ordered Chop Suey recently?
>>153095133Everyone was racist towards Asians until at least 2010.
>>153095133This scene isn't racist and anyone with a brain would realize it if they just looked at it.The Siamese cat is a stereotype BREAKER, he's part of the cool cats. This was TRANSGRESSIVE in the 70s, literally the modern equivalent of girlbossing, the movie going SEE, LOOK HOW COOL THIS ASIAN CAT IS, AND HE'S LAMPSHADING ALL THE ASIAN MYSTICISM IN HIS SONGExcept nobody actually understands media or racism today so they look at this scene and go OMG HE SAID HONG KONG?? DISNEY WAS THE REINCARNATION OF HITLERRRR!!!
>>153095133Because it’s funny.
>>153095133you think its racist but chink migrants at the time wer like this
>>153095133This shit was hysterical when you were 8 don't even pretend.
>>153096607>at the timeBro, they are still rike that.
>>153096744He didn’t say it wasn’t, retard.
>>153095133Ah yes, i have just on question for you: Why are focusing on, and pretending to be offended, just by the chinese cat when there is also a russian, italian, hippie/american and jazz black singer cat? Why is this considered racist? It's just homies having fun, and being from different nations was the fucking point
>>153095791>all japanese are racist, sexist, homophobic, and pedophileok but how are these bad things?
>>153095376I still don't get why Asians hate looking Asian, it's not even a solely westernised thing either since they do it in their own countries too
>>153097276Its second generation Asians, its always second generation mutts that have cultural hangups
Racism against black people became icky by the time of Aristocats, but racism against Asians was fair game for another couple of decades, as they were a smaller minority and not seen to be as oppressed. Of course, it morphed from "Ah, so" shit to "lol, math".
>>153095133Asians and Mexico take the "just happy to be included" approach. By all means punch down but still send the invite to the party. We can all have a good time.
>>153097276tbf the recent jap malding at finnish banter was hilarious, the fact it wasn't directed at them (and by their own logic/arguments doesn't even apply to them) only made their impotent seethe funnier
>>153097276>I still don't get why Asians hate looking AsianIt's complicated, and this isn't the best place to discuss this, but in a nutshell:Lots of places across Europe and Asia had the idea that pale skin was prettier than darker skin. Nobles could afford to spend all their time indoors or at least cover up when outside.Poor people had to go and work outside much of the time.Ergo various societies kinda developed the idea that 'pale = superior' and 'dark = inferior'. On top of that, European people have dominated the last 500 years or so of world history. That's only reinforced the existing 'pale is good' cultural standard. These days, young women/girls (of all races) are told they're too fat, too short, too clumsy etc by companies that want to sell shit to them. (Before the alpha males freak out, boys get similar shit too, about being manly and tough, but girls are told they must look pretty) This leads to Black women bleaching their skin to look pale, Korean women spending thousands on plastic surgery etc. TL:DR - Generations of culture tells women they must look pretty, and that pale is attractive.
>>153097723recent banter? what do you mean?
>>153095546>I remember being astounded 'Chop Socky Chooks' was allowed. or 'Yin Yang Yo' or especially 'Xiaolin Showdown' which felt like a 10 year old american kid in the 90s came up with it.Chop Socky Chooks, maybe because it sounds like chink and gook mixed together, but Yin Yang Yo and Xiaolin Showdown is just taking the Asian words and adding an English phrase ("Yo" or "Showdown") at the end. Even then, Xiaolin Showdown was the most Chinese making up lore within the fictional world and fictional China, whereas Yin Yang Yo and Chop Socky Chooks were mostly in it for the martial arts and the tropes of martial arts. None really bad.
>>153095133>fileHELLO SAAR!!!! PLEASE CONTINUE THE POSTING TO PERFORM THE ENGAGEMENT SAAR!!!!
>>153097397I think he means how most anime characters don't look Japanese
>>153095133Americans don't care about racism unless it's about their precious blacks
>>153095546>>153095546>When the worst thing they can say about your people is 'they talk funny'And have buck teeth... and yellow skin... and small penises or no penis at all... and sideways vaginas... and eat dogs... and bats...
>>153096156>Has anyone here even ordered Chop Suey recently?Yakisoba counts? I eat that relatively often
>>153095791good
>>153101145by their own words, somalis arent black though
>>153096156I think they just wanted to use the most Chinese sounding names on the menu when making references.Everything else is Chicken Fried Rice, Beef and Mixed Vegetables, Sechuan Pork, that type of thing.
>>153095133Do you suppose he ever met the Siamese cats from Lady and the Tramp?
>>153095210Those MetroPCS ads with the Indian techie caricatures are still fresh in the memory>HOLY SHISHKEBAB!
>>153095133Racism is literally normal and ok, any assertion otherwise is semitic brainwashing designed to kill whites.
>>153101760THISNever stop noticing
>>153101760Then why do you cry about men being oppressed? It’s normal, shut up
>>153095133You might be surprised by this, junior. But "back then" this wasn't considered racist or even insensitive.. right up into the 1980's. People weren't overly sensitive pussies like today. It really goes to show how fucked up the current generation is. Probably the worst part is that liberalism is embraced without question.
Racism to Asians probably only really stopped in media so that they could market to China anyway.
>>153101570Yeah okay. And the Irish aren't white either.
>>153102659i mean. have the irish said that they werent white?
>>153095133>It's racist because he speaks funny and says something about fortune cookies!!!1!Sad what censorship has led to.
>>153102659most of this website would agree with that assessment, yes
>>153097276Its us culture bro lol btfod asians so hard
>westernized asian>doesnt speak their ancestors tounge at a native level
>>153095546>Chop Socky ChooksI'm astounded they didnt at least change the title. Chook sounds way too close to gook
>>153095546>>153100883Xiaolin Showdown was created by a Chinese woman and her goal was explicitly to do a show that merged Eastern and Western culture.
>>153095970>racism makes everything a little betterheh
>>153095546I'm more thinking of shit like Morgan Webb on X-Play saying that a game was about Japanese history then saying that nobody cared about Japan until "we bombed them and then they became a real country."
>>153097723Qrd?
>>153101674Oh yeah it also works better for the song, but Egg Foo Young was genuinely more popular restaurant item back then too.>>153101345They're both stir fry dishes, but otherwise pretty different. Chop suey doesn't usually have noodles, it's just meat and vegetables with rice on the side."Chop suey" basically means "odds and ends/mixed leftovers" though, and varies a ton, so there are versions that are more like yakisoba.
>>153104841The only place I know that had chop suey on their menu near me was the oldest Chinese restaurant in CA. I never got to try the place before it closed, sadly.
>>153104937Their 1917 menu was way different.
>>153104531But that's literally what happened. They're aware of it, and grateful. Sometimes it takes a lil spank on the bum to get going. They were impossibly backwards before that, and they know it.>>153104169You can keep claiming that all you want, it's still not how it clearly is.
>>153096156Chop Suey is characteristic of the starting-out era of american chinese restaurants because it was easy to pronounce and remember, and had no set recipe.Once things became more standardized, people got used to chinese food, and they were very concerned about knowing EXACTLY what's in each dish, chop suey was rightfully laid to rest.
>>153104952I wonder if it was like they started as a more general restaurant then started serving more Chinese items later on. Maybe they served Chinese stuff also and later modified their main menu? Don't know.>>153104981Yeah that makes sense.
>>153101314>buck teeththis was such bad luck. Tojo had very unusual teeth for an asian. If anything, they should be stereotyped as having overly small mouths>yellow skinthis always confused me too. they're caucasian colored.>small penisI think this is objectively true but only by like a 2% margin, relative to body size.>sideways vaginasthat is my favorite, that is so fucking goofy. I love when, by saying something, YOU look foolish, and that was that way almost from the start.>eat dogs and batssee that's just.. true. But it's not an ethnic trait, it's cultural. If they came to this country it's because they wanted to get away from that. And if one of us raised our kids in china, we'd find they were okay with eating random animals.
>>153105005>they're caucasian colored."No."
I love a good Ching Chong, Fing Fum.>t.asian.
