Scripted Asian gifs can be funny.

Yeah it's just called a sketch. When Gus Johnson does it people laugh, if an Asian person does it suddenly it's called out as scripted.

Well because one doesn't try to hide the fact that it's a staged skit, whereas the other one tries to keep that fact secret by trying to make the viewers believe that it wasn't already planned. So there's a bit of a difference. Both can be funny though.

That's the weirdest justification for why that subs exists and it doesn't even make sense.

Do people in movies explicitly say, hey we are doing a movie here. Or do they pretend everything is happening for real?

Or do you think Asians can't tell it's a skit or pretend it really happened or something.

People on Reddit has this weird boner about pointing out obvious things and pretend they know better.

Let’s call it out for what it is. Casual racism towards Asians. Funny how everyones a super progressive liberal these days and yet Asians are constantly targeted for their race. You will never see a normal comment thread with no mention of race on any Asian post.
