it's not too soon, im dying.
Pretty much it.
@@Aaron-is8yt Bring back death penalty!!
I'm Vietnamese, and I wasn't offended by the ad. What I am offended by is people being offended on my behalf, trying to use asians for internet clout.
Ariana grande tease
Same.
That's fine, but you don't speak for all Asians? Like I can't speak for all black people.
@@iimmannii A majority dont care. Most are those who are so loud they keep digging up trouble so they could get the attention they want
One of my comments got more likes than Philip DeFrancos so I think I accidently used the ad to get clout
With the NXIVM thing, I lose all sympathy for victims when they become the perpetrator
Right? Especially on the scale Mack was. She was the one who wanted to forcibly brand women. She's no longer the victim at that point, she instigated that. She's pimping out women as slaves. It's disgusting.
Gypsy Blanchard?
Chopsticks aren't exclusive to any part of Asia, let alone Vietnam.
And chopsticks are not racist or insensitive. I'm American but I took 3 years of Japanese and was an exchange student in Japan for a while.. My host family ate everything with chop sticks. They gave us forks just to be polite but we never used them. Chop sticks are not racist god damnit I hate people sometimes
@@Jesse-cw5pv Given these people's logic your host family giving you forks would be a micro aggression, it's crazy what this world is coming to
That woman who complained wasn't even Vietnamese. She was Korean.
@@moonbasebop3699 she was representing all people of color because that's how outrage culture works. Someone gets offended for you and it makes the news.
I'm fully chinese and I still struggle to eat rice with chopsticks or hold them properly, someone pls teach me
Mack clearly knew what she was doing, she's selling the group out to save herself now. She wasn't a trapped member, she came up with ideas to help the group
She is sorry now...because she got caught.....
she'll get treated with a light touch just because she is female
I'm going to be so pissed if she gets let off with just a couple of years in prison or house arrest. She deserves at least a double digit sentence.

"Micro-aggressions" OMEGALUL
Flying Scott while I do feel that people sometimes overreact, the „problem“ was with the chopsticks NOT the sandwich
@@baldeahmadoumacka1217 whats the problem with chopsticks. If it was a spaghetti burger on a giant fork no one would say a thing, but oh white people in same picture as an Asian item equals huge outrage. I've said it before ill say it again a million times we are living in the twilight zone
@Quentin Camilleri the way he said "while I feels others sometime overreact". Implies he does think people overreact about dumb shit, but agrees with them about this. After taking that into consideration. The next thing he does is try to point out its the chopsticks that are the reason why people are mad. So i asked why the chopsticks are offensive. Also about the original comment. I don't think anyone that read it thought he meant only about the sandwich.
@@cleansent is right you know...
Imagine not using academic language correctly, the psychiatrist and professor Chester M. Pierce in 1970 to describe insults and dismissals which he regularly witnessed non-black Americans inflicting on African Americans and was used in the model 'Pyramid of Violence', to describe growing deep, racial prejudices about PoC and affecting minorities in small ways through your actions. But I'm sure you believe The Great Replacement crap that Sargon told you. I'm sure. This is what happens when we let reactionary white guys try to sound academic. Academic language becomes utter shit when it comes from you. You literally just want to be the guy who is like 'nope. I have no responsibility, I'm perfect.' Also, the advert wasn't offensive, it was just stupid but look at you acting like the moral president of the universe. OMEGALUL
Court: uhh we’ll give you about 16 months. do good you get out early, dont do it again.
my mans: *gets caught with weed*
Court: that’ll be 6 years m8
I agree with you and she will not get no more than three years, I always think that when she stands up in front of the judge 👨⚖️ they always see their son or daughter and they feel just them having to stand up front in court room is punishment enough, So they get off light just watch and I will be right!
Drugs are bad, mmmk? Lol, sorry for your boy.
chopsticks aren't hilarious.... GIANT chopsticks and people trying to eat a burger with them IS.
@@Valyssi Dude with the Rainbow Dash pic hit the nail on the head. They're making fun of WHITE PEOPLE, because it's probably whites making the ads. Everyone loves to make fun of their own group. People are just trying to make shit up to get upset about because they're bored in their own lives.
same with giant forks too! people are so retarded and too sensitive 🤦♂️
Burger kings ad was halarious
uaedaien I don’t think it was racist at all, but it wasn’t funny either. It was just bland
Roman I think chopsticks are a little funny because of how weird they are.
The burger king story was not offensive period.
People need to stop getting "woke"/"offended" every 5 seconds.
Edit: am an Asian woman.
Secretly you are offended, you just do not know it lol
Edit: SJWs lol
I'm Chinese, watching white people struggle with chopsticks is something I and every Asian I know find hilarious.
If I had familiar friendly relationships with non Asians who weren't white I would laugh at them also. I'm an equal opportunity when it comes to watching people struggle with chopsticks.
yep
you know, i bet i could eat that burger with those giant Chopsticks.... might need them to be a bit thinner though.
Agreed @Literally Nobody
As soon as the phrase "Micro aggression" was dropped so was all credibility.
IS THAT A MICRO AGGRESSION!!! ~sorth park~
@OlafGoldenHammer There never was any legitimacy to their point to begin with when trying to pretend 'micro aggressions' are a real issue, hence your point is irrelevant.
@OlafGoldenHammer Calling something a micro-aggression in itself is calling something an aggression. Which is tantamount to violence. Essentially saying that using chopsticks to eat a burger actually inflicted harm on her. If you're going to cry aggression over chopsticks, you're going to have a rough time in life...
OlafGoldenHammer No discussion began, yelling “micro aggression” or “im offended” doesn’t mean anything more than retarded screeching by victim complex touting morons. The burden is on them to present a reasonable stance to take seriously, if not wider society will gladly dismiss it.
@@adambaker4590 I definitely view microaggressions as less of a violent act, and more persistent and just.. annoying? I was born and raised in the US, perfectly native speaker, barely speak any other language (lol fml), yet I frequently get these weird, racial comments about my race/home country/origins. I get "wow your english is so good!" or "what is it like back in your country?" or "wow I've heard great things about you foreign women" or "why do your people eat dogs" from strangers CONSTANTLY. Its not harmful, for sure, almost like a friendly, well-intentioned racism-lite, but its definitely.. just.. fucking annoying after a while. And I do consider myself a patient person, so I find myself repeatedly gently explaining to strangers that I'm American through and through. I think the term microaggressions is a bit overboard, but I do agree with the sentiment behind it. It just can get overwhelming at times and I can understand why some ppl would want to rant/vent about it. I hope that gives some perspective!
burger king: puts out ad with big chopsticks
burger king: please please please please
some lady: MICROAGRESSION
burger king: YESSSS
She says that the chopsticks thing is racist but in her bio shes says "white feelings are not my problem". Yeah I think I'm gonna ignore her opinions on racism.
Also caught that little seed of dishonesty :)
Zac R That’s so ridiculous it seriously makes me burn with anger inside.
The Crazy Canadian and she doesn’t even realize how racist she really is.
ShaddowSabbath This is satire right? You are not SERIOUS are you?
@ShaddowSabbath Boohoo burger king lost one customer no one cares you're just as bad as that comment.
A Burger King ad showing people struggling to use gaint chop sticks is not a micro aggression. Why are people so sensitive and dumb nowadays?
people get degrees in this shit lmao
Because people and corporations consistently capitulate to these professional whiners.
The internet gave idiots the power to speak their stupid mind 🙄
The moment someone uses the term ‘micro-aggression’ in a serious conservation I immediately tune out.
It is the very definition of a microagression. What are you on about?
Allison got a MAJOR plea bargain out of that. She should be going away for a lot longer.
If she had anything to do with the other investigations or helping them, she might even get less still.
Allison is not gonna get any long sentence she is playing the game and she will get a 📚 deal out of this and do the talk show routine and she will be looked at as a great heroine that’s what will happen!
Burger King should not have apologised for that ad. Sick of companies apologising for SJW outrage culture. Just own it!
Seriously. Chopsticks being used incorrectly by white people. How is this racist against asians?
Yes remember jacks bowls? I thought that was fucking hilarious
I'm sick of them doing it too, esp with celebrities who have "detectives" bringing up shit from over a decade ago. They can't keep giving those bastards power over them. All they are are a vocal minority. Everyone else doesn't give a damn.
I think it's smart on Burger King's part--the apology gives them free press outside of normal advertising venues in a way that presents them as vaguely positive. Basically leveraging outrage culture to own the news cycle and getting more exposure worldwide than the original ad would have ever done for them.
On the chopstick issue: as an asian, ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS, that is all.
tbh I'd say it's more a dig at white people being idiots who don't know when/how to use chopsticks xD
I'm offended that you're not offended.
DanoG1984 and IM offended that you’re offended of them not being offended
Thanks
It’s not serious at all tbh lol
So will it be “offensive” to rest of the world if someone in Asia tried to eat burger with a fork???

@@paskit219 You know shit's wrong when most asian people are not offended
Haha somebody used “micro-agression” un-ironically in 2019
Yeah... Is that really a real thing?
Hi there. Im not used to commenting on stuff like this but your comment struck a chord and id like to explain my view on microagressions if youre willing to listen.
I'm Icelandic. We are a small nation of around 300.000 people with a huge majority of those people being white. Less than a percent are black so almost everything the average person knows about black people comes from tv and the internet because its so rare to be able to make a black friend or have a black co-worker.
I explain this because my boyfriend is an American who moved here 3 years ago to study our language. Icelandic is one of the most difficult languages to learnbut hes passionate about it and he speaks it fluently.
The problem with being such a minority here is that a lot of people assume he doesnt know the language. Almost every time he meets someone new he has to stop them from switching to english and tell them to speak Icelandic to him. They dont try to speak english first because they are racist, they do it because they assume they know what type of person he is. Thats what a mcroagression is. Its having to over and over deal with assumptions about your background or culture. Its not the peoples fault but its also something they should be made aware of. Microagressions is actually not a great word because usually theres nothing agressive about it. Its just passively accepting the world view you have instead of being self critical.
My point is that using microagression unironically in 2019 isnt always bad. I hope you can see my point
lucaridudelvX I assume you mean “they don’t speak Icelandic to him first “ in the middle of your comment. If your boyfriend is black which I feel like you’re alluding to it’s comical how you call people racist for speaking English to a black man they’d probably think is a tourist. That’s like a white man going to an African country and expecting them to know he speaks their language. Stop calling things racist because it’s convenient , it’s just simply not racism.
It's a useful tool to explain how people can be petty. It's like if your girlfriend asks you to put the toilet seat down and you intentionally leave it up to be a petty bitch. I think the term microaggression fits pretty well with that kind of action.
@@TobyMUFC What? I just said it wasnt racism? I'm explaining that its not racism, just people treating him differently on the basis of race.
I seem to have forgotten to point it out but he is black yeah.
And the thing with assuming hes a tourist is that during the summer the amount of tourists here is greater than actual icelanders but still its only assumed that non white people dont speak Icelandic even though half the people youl meet in the street (who are mostly white) dont. I get what you mean but the logic doesnt hold up in this country. Even the immigrant population is white and asian by a very wide margin and people assume they speak icelandic every time
Im not trying to be agro or rude, im just trying to explain my point of view.
Ffs sake on that Burger King bit...can't we just laugh at each other? Can't we just have a good laugh without everyone getting mad?
No its 2019,everything is offensive
Thanks SJWs
NO WE CANT. JOKES ARENT OK!

It takes you maybe 5 seconds to find an advertisement in Japan where they're trying to eat food with enlarged chopsticks.
yes but white people aren't allowed to because they don't use chop sticks ...... i think that's the argument anyways, usually its just some 3rd generation teenage dirtbag that is having an identity crisis and their way to try lach onto a culture that they have never truely being a part of.

It was Mac’s idea. So she gets more of the blame for it.
Because the women who were branded were not given the option to say, "No. I do not want to be branded." The other women were instructed to, and actually did, hold the woman being branded down, *against her will!* There was no option for these scared, buck-naked women to say no, get dressed and leave.

Taking the last cookie when they know you wanted it, Letting the door close even though you made it to the door just before it closed, leaving one sock on when walking around without shoes. True micro aggression's which should not be allowed to continue.
@ShaddowSabbath showing a bunch of white people failing at using chopsticks isn't insulting Koreans. It's insulting white people by saying they're too stupid to manage it. But good job finding something to be mad about, I have a sneaking suspicion you spend a large part of your day trying to make things out to be something you can be angry about.
@ShaddowSabbath you know, I'd say you were projecting, but it's not even that. Having looked through the comment section...you're just a troll. You've posted both outrageously SJW commentary as well as hard right Zionist conspiracy theories. Well trolled!
@ShaddowSabbath First of all you dumb snowflake, this has nothing to do with Koreans, you are just adding fire to the flames with your social garbage warrior shit, and secondly its just people tryin to eat with chopstick who are not asian, what only asians can eat with chopsticks that what youre referring to

Come on people, why get offended at stuff like this?
I'm from New Zealand and when I first saw the ad come on on RUclips, I thought, that's a dumb ad, why would you try to eat a burger with chopsticks.
Also, a vietnamese burger? Like the only thing that makes it "vietnamese" is that is has sweet chilli sauce in it. Fast food is trash.
@@angie23575 if its stupid thats one thing, sure I can even agree.
If you are offended on the other hand....then your a low life.
@@ninjaguy2511 I don't think "low life" is accurate but no I'm not offended. I'm not Asian though and I don't get to decide what other people are offended by. I'm just glad they pulled the ad because it's stupid.
If you'd genuinely like to know the reason, I am Asian and I may be able to provide some perspective. The punchline of the joke relates to how difficult it is to use chopsticks, but for Asians who have been brought up with them it isn't hard at all. A joke like that can be interpreted as kind of exclusionary, which in turn can make it seem as though it was made at the expense of Asians, especially since from the looks of it they offered a Vietnamese burger and did not associate it with any actual Viets, simply choosing instead to poke fun at an Asian eating utensil in a way that most Viets probably wouldn't relate to, which may leave a bitter taste for some Asians. That's really stretching though, it's pretty obvious Burger King meant no harm from it, I think the woman was just overreacting a little, but there you go. That's the reason.
Yes if it was a giant fork I would have been so mad!
/S 😂
1.) forks are easier to use. 2.) if everyone used chopsticks, and you used forks, you'd see it a little different and you wouldn't make this nonsense comparison.
2.5) insulting insecure people because you think they're overreacting shows how ignorant you are.
@@originalsinquirls1205 Its called a joke.... Stop taking things so seriously. No one has ever been historically oppressed for their use/misuse/preference for using chopsticks. This is a NON-ISSUE. please stop pretending to care.

@@rainestar82 Well, the woman whose tweet blew up, saying it was offensive - Phil pointed out that she's a New Zealander of Vietnamese descent. Not sure how many of the people who retweeted it were Vietnamese too.
BUT, I thought it was making fun of people who can't use chopsticks, too. I saw them poking at people like me, lol. But, I have never been around any Asian culture in any meaningful way, so I really can't comment on what she saw that I didn't.
Funny how Mack said she wants to take FULL responsibility for the charges, but totally isn't.
"I want to take full responsibility for my actions... But this one man influenced me, so REEEE GO GET HIM INSTEAD BECAUSE HE'S A GUY!!!"
... Am I close, or am I close? Because that's what I heard when Phil read the quote.
Even funnier that her name, Mack, means pimp in French. She damn well wants credit for being a version of one, but not the consequences that come with being caught.
@@mistahjenkins4826 No, because I think a guy would easily use the defense that they were influenced and such. I know I certainly would, especially if I wasn't lying to myself by saying it.

Yep
Part of me feels like there is no good reason for announcing to Iran that we think a major part of their government is a terrorist group. Wouldn't it be smarter to keep that conclusion under wraps?
Exactly! I swear, it never ceases to amaze me with what stupid and dangerous thing our government does.
I have always known who Phillip DeFranco is, but never ever watched him. My god have I been missing out. This is the only place I get my news now. He is the only person I trust, and he is good at sharing his opinion while still have a neutral perspective while presenting the news.
Chops sticks are a utensil. It's like being mad at a fork.
Kayla Grona I agree it’s dumb but that’s a terrible comparisons. Chop sticks are seen as a strictly Asian way to eat while forks aren’t an American or white people thing.
@@leoanything7285
Pretty sure white people invented forks
Brother Ares ok tell me the last time you ate anything other than Asian food with chopsticks. I agree the outrage is dumb but it’s just an objective truth that chopsticks are almost always only used for Asian cuisine. That’s not a bad thing but it makes the correlation between Asian food to chopsticks. The same can’t be said about a fork. It is used in Italian, French, Mexican, Russian, Portuguese, and American food
@@leoanything7285 I live in Hawaii and we eat all sorts of things with chopsticks here... I'm not Asian and have never been to Asia
zuldo what’s your point? I’m not saying that white people cant use chopsticks just that forks aren’t associated with a particular kind of food like chopsticks are
The joke: "look at these shitbirds try to eat with giant chopsticks!"
2 things are obvious:
1. That's the joke
2. People outraged are looking to be offended.
People getting mad over things that don't exist until some fucktard on youtube tells them it does. There's real problems out in the world, but SJW's and far left liberals are too lazy to solve them, because it takes to much effort
Brandon Martin right! It’s so obvious they’re making fun of ppl not knowing how to use chopsticks. Their not using a Burger King ad to belittle eastern eating utensils smh ppl are so stupid now.

Dont generalize asians. Some do. Just because the majority dont doesn't mean there's few that do.
@@johndaly2816 Yeah... That's kinda the point of the ad. It looks awkward. That doesn't make it offensive or racist. It's just a stupid ad.

That's pretty much how some wars are actually instigated. Sick world
Nailed it. It's pretty sad how many people fall for it too, and think they're trying to better peoples' lives just out of the goodness of their hearts. Literally nothing gets achieved in US government unless they and/or peers stand to ultimately profit from whatever action is being decided upon. I'm sure other governments are guilty of this as well, but as a dumb American I don't know much about leadership elsewhere, so can't speak on anywhere else. 😬
@Yaruu Salamander no thank you, mob rule is never a good thing.
@Zwenk Wiel not a war with tigers, silly, a war in general with thought process of causing something to play the hero
@Zwenk Wiel Leave the tigers alone!
Sorry but that burger king ad is just sad how people call this micro agressions... can people stop making small thing in to a "huge" problem... getting really annoying
"I thought these people believed the same thing i did" "I believed he was helping people" she says as she brands and forces people to do things against their will......
she knew what she was doing. she CAN NOT be a victim. she collected the info took those women. she knows what she was doing
Chick is hypocrite. I'm taking responsibility, he did it.
Chopsticks = hateful "microaggression"
Yea okay, good one
But its the current year!
but things like mexican sombreros are totally cool even tho chopstick are an actual cultural thing seen on a daily and sombrero are like a super niche thing............... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
So would me eating a burger with marshmallow spears be a microaggression? Why cant companies just say to these idiots that they're dumb and they need to grow up, I doubt they will have any drops in sales
Mac mcskullface can't support a whole burger with normal chopsticks
Oversized utensils?! Oh my God the attack on my heritage!
SJW alert, an SJW got attacked by a burger King micro aggression
Jeez, that first story got so crazy so fast I had to skip back to make sense of it. wtf
Same!
The Burger King thing is way too similar to the recent Dolce&Gabbana scandal. They absolutely MUST have known.
Anna Johnsen exactly
RUclips is like that one teacher who forces the whole class to stand up as punishment for one kid rocking their chair
Bradley B ...except instead of “one student” it was a whole chat doing nothing more then spamming slurs. Do you think any meaningful conversations screaming profanities?
@@genneth4986 Do you think you can have any meaningful conversations in a live chat moving 50 miles an hour?
I think part of the problem is that it's so easy to create a new RUclips account. So you have people with a dozen accounts who can spam racial slurs on a given channel, and they don't care if they are banned. They just log in with another account. I think it's very difficult for RUclips to deal with the "bad actors" in that case. Frankly, I'm not sure what the solution is.
Catastrophic Broccoli exactly and I do think getting rid of comments isn’t the answer because they will just turn to videos they chopped up or some other bs. Who knows maybe even live streams of bad video shared amongst their friends. What then!? Does RUclips stop people from uploading or streaming!? That would kill them. I am in no way defending them but, the way the internet is, it’s going to be impossible to stop these people unless you metaphorically cut the heads off the snakes. As in you target the people themselves and that will be a chore in itself if they are extremely smart and cover up their internet tracks or hide their locations very well:
The entire fucking world has become that classroom.

As an Asian, it makes me sad to see other Asians get offended over small things like this. One of the things I take pride in being an Asian is my tolerance and having a thick skin. And those who are not Asians please don't get offended on our behalf. Look straight, work so hard that people have no choice but to respect you.
I'm from Albany Ny and years ago I actually met Mark Raniere from Nxivm. I'm a model/actress and unfortunately he was very involved in the community. Every time I met him he really made me nervous and I'm glad he is going to get justice.

Her character was unnecessary anyways.
Those are just some comically huge chopsticks for a silly gag. People need to get over themselfs and stop making everything about themselfs. This joke is incredibly harmless and not even a stereotype.
By this logic, Asian people are NOT allowed to use forks, it's our culture and using cutlery is offensive as it's a micro-aggression.
This woman is anything but a victim.
Yet again, someone uses the victim card to get what they want, in this case, a lighter sentence! *Don't fall for it!*
that and woman also get lighter sentences, I can't wait til she gets no jail time and nobody is shocked.
@Lee Morris lacking empathy doesn't make your comment useful or funny.
she has a lawyer telling her what to say i think. anyone in that cult for so long is surely very damaged.
@Lee Morris Yo I'm not gonna say she's entirely a victim, but that comparison is pretty stupid.
abusive relationships believe that enduring pain is a sign of devotion and honest love. I do believe she can be a victim herself never knowing what love is till after the incident but that doesn't change the harm and pain she caused a lot of people. 4 year prison sentence and therapy is a good punishment

I'm Asian and I didn't fine the Burger King ad offensive. SJWs do, Asian or not.
As someone who considers themselves to be quite left, I legitimately can not believe this is the shit people are getting mad about now. People need to chill.
People feel legitimised when they band together and get companies to keel over, even if the reason is stupid. It's because companies keep keeling over that it keeps happening.

Hate speech doesn't exist. If the speech is targeting people with threats or harassment, that is then illegal and it should be forwarded to law enforcement. People like you are giving companies the power to police what they deem to be proper behaviour by people.

The Burger King thing was blown way out of proportion. Like it's about what you see on game shows ffs. It's not intended to be mocking let alone racist. Hell eating any food with oversized utensils is a comical thing.

@@imahustlah3609 Exactly. The world puts too much stock in bullshit, they'll let the world crumble under their feet without paying attention.
Nothing wrong with the Burger King ad.
William H. Macy wasn't indicted because there is evidence (the same evidence used to indict his wife) he opposed the fraud. Given that he can't be compelled to give evidence against his spouse, the fact that he knew about it means he can't be prosecuted. Technically he could be (maybe?), but the prosecution probably (correctly) realizes he probably wouldn't be convicted. In any case, there is not enough evidence.
My two cents.
My family descended from Germany. If Burger King came out with a sour kraut burger (gross) with people wearing dirndl and lederhosen I wouldn’t think twice. I don’t mean to sound insensitive here, but is this really where we’re at in western society? It’s hyperbole people! Try to lighten up
Allison Mack, doesn't matter how "lost" you are anything involving slavery should be a big red flag.
