As a gen Z, this is why I love watching JK. They're "aware" instead of being annoyingly "woke". They have respect for different social groups but still aren't afraid of cracking jokes here and there, even if it's dark. Because everyone knows they're only joking. I love watching people who don't have to continuously give disclaimers because they're afraid of getting cancelled. Ily JK! I've been watching since I was in middle school and I've now graduated from uni and working full-time!
The problem nowadays is just as Joe explained it: This new generation is so caught up in cancel-culture that they don't grasp the entire history of the issues they are supposedly "trying" to resolve. Instead of making any progress, they are essentially spinning their tires and leaving skid-marks expecting a shiny gold star for contributing to cancel-culture.
I saw a dumb discourse about how the term pansexual is transphobic. The older (millennials and older) ones in the lgbt space were like dafuk. Doesn't mean millennials didn't have dumbass takes either. I remember seeing a post several years ago where someone said learning ASL is cultural appropriation lmao.
I’ve been watching y’all since I was in middle school and now I’m an adult, still one of the most authentic channels around thank you for bringing a smile on my face during times like these 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
I never really thought about how cultural sensitivity could impact small businesses in immigrant communities like that. They have a good point. So many people are hesitant to buy little trinkets and stuff which were once really popular items to sell to tourists
1.91 mil baby! Cannot believe you are almost at 2mil JKNews. Love this video. Great topic discussed too. And usually, I don't agree with many points in your videos. But in this one, agree with all of the points stated here.
Reminds me of Jeremy Lin where he had dreds and Rasheed Wallace told him it was cultural appropriation, Jeremy Lin called him out on his Chinese tattoo
@@cjclark6153 Yeah. It was Kenyon Martin that made a big deal about it. The funny thing was, it was Jeremy Lin's teammates and Black hair stylist that suggested he do the dreads.
This might be one of the only channel's where current topics that can cause severe arguments are taken and presented in a format that is so easy to digest and the 360° view is provided.
In Korean Ni-Gah literally just means you. Ni-Gah Heh literally means you do it. I remember americans were going nuts when kpop was becoming more popular in the states.
I think Ryan's story the girl is Korean and was singing a Korean song. "Nega/niga" literally means "you/me" in Korean but people thought she was saying the American N word.
In a lot of cases, the words that are currently considered to be impolite actually used to be the polite, preferred terms. For those who don't like the current set of polite terms, there's a solution that you yourself can put into practice today: start using the polite terms the way you'd normally use the impolite terms.
8:28 is like when Valkyrae got "canceled" for using AAVE. Aot of black people, including me, weren't even offended and thought people overreacted. The thing she said was Fr fr no cap on a stack.
I'll speak as a black person I think the thing most people don't get about cultural appropriation is that 1)some parts of other people's cultures are purely sacred and if you are not a part of that culture it is the highest disrespect to engage in it. 2) some people love engaging in other people's culture while disrespecting and hitting the people whose cultures they participate in. 3) a lot of people fetishize other people's culture. Personally for me if you're engaging in a culture that is not your own and you are not doing any of the three I don't have a problem with it go ahead have fun.
Of course you can't just pretend to be a buddhist monk all of a sudden but I'll say enjoy any culture you want. One of the coolest things I've seen is the Maori haka and I'm Scandinavian. If I try to learn it am I appreciating or appropriating? Some people can't differentiate cultural appropriation from cultural appreciation.
The guy who was playing the dude disguised as another dude gets a pass and could play Ironman and War Machine in one movie. Do you have a problem with that? Nate Diaz and Mike Perry gets the N-word pass too from black people.
I don't understand the logic behind, "this race made this, so they have rights over all production or use of this". For sure you can't be disrespectful, but the only people who find this disrespectful like wearing Mexican Panchos are other races (not mexicans). It's, for example, white americans getting offended for hispanics and it's weird. Certain cultures find that it's sort of embracing if you wear what their culture wheres, but for some reason other people want to think it's an insult to the culture. It's usually obvious when someone does something disrespectful with disrespectful intentions.
The economic argument about cultural appropriation is even more ridiculous. Like Joe said, culture has value because people give it value, they buy he “merch” because they see value in it, same goes for hip-hop, etc.
Love the discussion and the whole vibe of everyone bouncing off eachother respectfully and joking around! Wish I my buds were more open minded to talk like this rather then "got into a fight bro cause he said sh** about me"... How does that relate to traditions & taboos? 😂
I've been to India and Dubai a few times now. My now wife wanted me to wear a traditional kurta pajama. I got nothing but love and excited from random people anytime I wore one. Sidenote they are the most comfortable and breezy clothes ever.
In Cantonese “ni go” means “this”. I work in a Cuban Chinese restaurant and I’ve been asked why I said the N-word and I just explain have to explain it’s meaning in my own language. It’s hard to say, “this” order is for “this” person and getting misunderstood. But I notice no one asked me about it’s meaning for a long time because cultural diversity and understanding. Back in 2005 almost got into a fight just because I said “this order is for “this”person. 😅
The people crying out Culture Vulture probably eat Asian, Mexican, Indian food, etc. They probably watch anime,Korean dramas,Mexican novelas, etc They probably like spaghetti and meatballs or pizza. If we could not share our culture to anyone else, we would not have access to any of these amazing foods or shows! Next time you want to claim culture appropriation, when it’s not right to do so, think of all the great things we have obtained because other cultures decided to appreciate yours.
This reminds me of something David So said on an episode of send foodz. They were eating fried chicken and David remarked that a lot of the stereotypes about Black people liking fried chicken and watermelon applies to Koreans as well. Since Koreans also make amazing fried chicken and like eating watermelon. And very true about the different foods, etc. you mentioned.
Actual cultural appropriation is wrong, like white people “discovering” something that minorities have been using for thousands of years and acting like they just invented it, but I feel like now, 99% of things that people are labeling as cultural appropriation is not cultural appropriation at all. And there’s also like those really extreme people who are shame you for not being ___ enough. I’ve seen a few TikToks of Chinese Americans, for example, speaking Chinese and people are bashing their pronunciation and it’s like??? Are we gatekeeping Chinese Americans from speaking Chinese? How are we supposed to get better if we can’t practice?
Talk more about this guys! This was super insightful and shows how stupid people have become in Black an Red flagging every little petty thing thinking they will ruin other cultures!
Agree. Also I feel like of all the people African Americans are very judgemental preaching people about black culture this that but when was the last time an African American won redbull BC one let alone a black person
I was curious and the word Gay changed meaning a lot. It meant happy then it changed to mean men having a lot of sex with women. It was also meant prostitution.
I'd like to flip Joe's Intention & Context on it's head. The overarching context for most people nowadays, is that you can Google "is this offensive?" in the same amount of time to say it. Additionally, enough people have made honest mistakes that you can learn how to graciously apologize for using an offensive term. If you deem it unworthy of the aforementioned effort, then you likely meant to cause offense anyway. It's not hard to not be a dick, but it still takes effort.
I guess the problem is the gen z people (including myself) are in bubbles daily. You will see fucked up shit, you will experience these things, issues that you have to deal with. Coddling your child is probably the biggest issue and problem.
Its so strange beacuse where i went to university there were so many asian grocery shops that had the word oriental in the name beacuse it wasnt seen as a bad word, the term asian was more used for India and south asia but i over heard an american student complaining about it
The way I understand it is that “oriental” itself is not a bad word when it is used to describe things such as shops or rugs and whatever else. But to use it to describe people is frowned upon. People should be referred to as “Asians” not “oriental.”
Love the conversation but what’s being failed to mention is that unfortunately time and time again we in the black community keep getting things/ideas stolen. And tiktok has show in real time how easily pushed to the side black creators are. I wish that when you guys spoke about black culture and issue you do have African American guest because other races will never understand the depth of pain in our culture just we can not understand the depth and culture of other races.
Hermaphrodite is a misnomer about intersex. Also oriental is used to describe things not people which is partly why we don't call people that lol. But I think if it's Asians naming something for themselves, they can use oriental.
Eh, as an Taiwanese born and raised in America, I would rather be called an Asian or Oriental instead of a "Yellow Person", because the term "Yellow" is slang for "Coward". And, back in the day Non-Asians would call or refer to Asians either "Yellow People" or "Orientals". Even till this day, they would call or refer to Asians as "Yellow People".
In the uk in the workplace you apparently can’t say you’re straight because it offends gay people because they think if you’re straight! … I must be bent! Boohoooooo 😢
i just like saying the r word to see who is cool lmao. like know time and place and how to be inclusive and respectful but also, who gives a f sometimes lmfao
Pretty rich that there’s a bunch of straight neurotypical people discussing these words lmao. Would be better to have this convo with a neurodivergent person or gay person
You guys are missing major points. It’s not just blacks don’t want Asians to do hip hop, it’s the fact that when blacks enter Asian countries they’re treated like shit. It’s the fact that the being gay in many/most counties is a death sentence. You cannot take the context of the community out. That’s why communities get upset. Taking the rhythm but not the blues. Which is why getting upset that people are upset is not helpful.
That thing is not exclusive to only one race. Even Asians are treated differently in all countries. What is your point? Weird thing is even Asians will treat or judge another Asian depending on where they come from.
it is, google is the number 1 with a 100 zeros behind it, a googleplex is 1 with a google amount of 0s behind it. This is JK news, take nothing they say as factual record.
