    Can we just take a minute to realize that this man actually got "mauled by a wild boar" in a future episode?

    The black Justin Bieber I think was a way to show that how white celebrities are often given a pass for their controversies while black celebrities are often scrutinized for things that white celebrities have also done.

      I’m pretty sure it was more parody when Justin Bieber had that phase where he was basically trying act black and was hanging around a bunch of rappers

    thank you for showing me the meaning behind this. I am a suburban asian man, so i am constantly fighting self-censorship, because I'm supposed to be an upright law abiding normie, who is polite and good at math and making a steady living. My true self is constantly trying to break free, because I am a very flawed, emotional, impulsive, and almost spitefully doing the opposite, but the Eddie Huang types also exist, and I am not exactly that.
