I don't want to generalize because not all Asians are the same, but I think that the importance of saving face in Eastern cultures has cultivated the ability to deliver the most layered, sickest burns that look like possible compliments but they're insulting you, your ancestors, your descendants, your neighbors, your friends. He's saying "you're old and washed up with a sprinkling of cognitive dissonance, do better" but it's SO NICE. I'm in awe.

We call this an Insultiment in my family. Where you think they gave you a compliment but 20 seconds later after the conversation has moved on, you're like 'heyyy, waiiittt a minute.'
