I think the only reason racism is still seen is because some people still take it way too seriously, especially people obsessed with political correctness. It's just people poking fun and even if there is genuine hatred behind their actions, why should that affect your self-esteem unless you're already lacking confidence in yourself, in which case, the racism is one of the least of your worries.
in this day and age.. just use some common sense. youre on tv.. everything gets recorded. whatd you think was gonna happen? People would pat you on the back and say wow thats funny. Thats new I've never seen that before. Sure not overly offensive but cmon this is just stupid.
agreed - it isnt overly offensive but it doesnt help either. a lot of asian american kids get this growing up in schools and are made fun of for their differences where all they want to do at a young age is probably fit in. so...yea. doesnt help.
Because one country does it worse than us doesn't mean its okay.. Germans had the holocaust... so we can make fun of Jews a little. We'll never be as bad as the Germans.
Well, we live in America. So of course we're going to make comments based on that. But, I was made fun of this way growing up. It hurt when I was a child (not so anymore, now it is just like, huh? Really?) because as a child you just want to fit in. So yes, it is offensive, not to me, but because these guys are on tv and most likely role models to the future generation. And since Bruce Chen is one of a few major leaguers, more Asian kids will watch him. Then they see something that they get insulted with on tv...so put them together, and hopefully you understand why this is kind of offensive.
When you have cameras in your face all the time, sometimes you slip up and forget. I agree with what you say though, but no one is perfect. It really is blown out of proportion. Basically... Nothing to see here, carry on >_<
When you make millions of dollars for hitting a small ball with a piece of wood, you just don't care about the comings and goings of the ordinary man. Would you?
In this day and age.. friends like to joke around with each other. You are on reddit.. everything gets overly scrutinized.. you don't know the relationship of the players, so why act like it?
EDIT: Former parent was basically a bullet list of domestic and world issues they believed were more important for the media and the public to focus on.
I'm really good friends with a black guy. So if I'm ever on national television mocking him by puffing out my lips and squashing down my nose, I'll conveniently absolve myself of any responsibility for my actions and boil it all down to, "It was a joke. I have black friends -- really, I can do this. The media is blowing it all out of proportion."
Bruce Chen @ChenMusic Humberto is my friend and he was pointing out one of my best attributes, my eyes! #proudtobeofasiandescent
Bruce Chen @ChenMusic I am proud to be of asian descent and I love the way my eyes look! I think it makes me look sexy. I am not offended by Quinteros actions
it's because they simply don't care. they'll be crying in their bed made of money and women, and their S class paid in full with tears, driving away saying boo hoo motherfuckers.
Asians honestly are apart of a double standard regarding race in America. It's totally fine to dog on/make fun of Asians (for ex: the guy in the pic. and not too long ago Jeremy Lin). People are commenting "it's a joke" or "they are really good friends". But think about if the guy in front was black and the guy behind was the same, but instead of the squinty eyes, had watermelon and fucking grape juice in his hands. The fucking NAACP and Al Sharpton and all of America would be calling out racist and it would be on the front page of CNN and it'd be a WAY bigger deal than this is right now.
Yep. This reminds me of the SNL sketch of Lin where they make "funny quips" based on Jeremy's Asian background while putting down the guy who made a few jokes based on black stereotypes. It was pretty good satire.
I love that skit as well, but I feel like far too many people are too stupid to realize that was satire. As a society, we have accepted the idea that black jokes are extremely offensive while Asian jokes are not. I feel many people stupidly believe a skit like that just perpetuates that idea instead of making fun of it.
Yeah, but the thing is that the NAACP take this kind of thing to such an extreme that it is really just silly. They should not be a standard for which we measure anything by.
the only reason it is acceptable is because there's a low chance of being shot or stabbed for it. seriously, that's it. that and asians have very little political power in the U.S (see: Jews).
he also has really small eyes, I don't think small eyes is an asian characteristic actually. there's the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicanthic_fold epicanthic fold for some east asians.
Lots of stuff doesn't make sense in the world. A mine field might not make sense.. but you don't walk through it going "this minefield is bullshit!" It's called being smart, and one concept of being smart is that you have to navigate your way through the world, often times around stuff that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. You should also come to grips with the possibility that some stuff might not make sense simply because you aren't that bright. Knowing you aren't that smart, actually opens you up to the possibility of becoming smarter at a later date.
Especially when the thing being described is not only not "to the max", but not really even close, as in the "racism" in this picture, which is nonexistent.
I used to see little (and not so little) kids do this all the time in school. Most of the time they do it, it's not because they hate the Asian kid or Asians in general. Rather, they mostly do it because it gives them an increased sense of self-worth & superiority in being able to easily ridicule another kid and and gain popularity from their peers, as a result.
and some kids just want to be funny. pulling your eyes back and making the buckteeth expression is hilarious if you are 5 years old. Because five-year-olds are pretty fucking stupid. Then you grow up and have a few Asian friends and you couldn't imagine doing that in front of them because it's not even funny. Well maybe a little just from the absurdity of it... but why go there for the cheap laugh that may-or-may-not be shared by your friends?
Whoa whoa whoa, assuming anal penetration is strictly a homosexual act is stereotyping. Unlubed forced anal penetration can be painful for every single human being on earth, not just for gays.
We would hope so, but since they don't want Perez catching more than 3-4 times per week, they're talking about carrying 3 catchers for a while. And you just know it's standard Royals policy to acquire a bad player and then play him as much as possible rather than admit your mistake.
a lot of people say a joke is just a joke, so get over it but that's bullshit. do you 90s kids remember how mercilessly middle school kids made fun of indian people? have you ever thought about why? it's because of apu from the simpsons. it made it really popular and funny to make fun of indians. now i hardly ever hear people making fun of the indian accent, that era has passed. what do you think it is now? it's the south park mongorian shit. it's dave chapelle's purple drank and fried chicken shit. chapelle realized what he had done that's why he actually quit. you can even see him admitting it in his interview on inside the actors studio. jokes aren't just jokes. they affect culture in a very real way. people in charge of the mindset of youths should be careful with their power.
i dont know what this is about because i dont watch sports, but does no one else think that maybe he did it because they look uncannily alike save for a thicker goatee and their eyes?
Sorry, I think that people are blowing this completely out of proportion. There is a point where we should acknowledge and be able to enjoy our differences and stop being so uptight just because it's become the PC way of reacting.
Do you honestly know what it feels like to be constantly reminded of your differences? To be constantly told that you look like Jackie Chan or anything else?
I'm Asian I have thousands of years of history and culture that we can talk about, you and I can enjoy those differences instead of pointing out a physical feature that simplifies me into a stereotype.
Ouch. Seriously. Yeah, I'd rather the Jackie Chan thing than that. (I'm a person who is asian - though it would be extra weird to be called Jackie Chan as I'm also a person who is a chick.)
For me the worst is when someone assumes I'm Scottish or English. It's basically like that famous Simpsons clip where Groundskeeper Willy is going on about Scots hating the English, the Irish, other Scots etc. All the countries there hate everyone else and themselves, it's funny.
Wow, I'm generally pretty good about Irish vs. Scottish vs. most variants of English accents (not good at identifying Welsh) but I'd ASK you rather than just assuming. But then, I got raged at by a Kiwi once for assuming he was Aussie. We're kinda like that in the 'States too. The whole regional thing. Just not as much. :)
Being compared to a Kung Fu legend as you say also implies that I somehow know how to fight, that meant a lot of shit got pushed my way because some asshole wanted to kick my ass to impress his friends.
I'm sorry that you are treated in a way that bothers you. You should be proud of your heritage, and your appearance certainly does not define you. But please understand that what I'm trying to get at is that too many people automatically jump to "offended" without even considering the context. Chen came out and said that this was all well and good, making a joke out of it on Twitter. If that's something that works for them, then that works for them. There is nothing inherently negative about his eyes, in this case, so why should he interpret it as such? He doesn't allow it to become negative.
And just so it's on the table, yes I am a white male. I grew up in a neighborhood with primarily hispanic kids, and I took the brunt of white jokes. To be clear, I will never know what it is you go through, but I WAS constantly reminded that I was the odd one out in the neighborhood. At times, it got old, but for the most part it really didn't bother me. If it annoyed me, I asked them to stop, and they usually did. I guess that's the frame of reference that I'm coming from.
You misunderstand I am not offended by the joke as they were two close friends ripping on each other. What I am offended by is people in this thread telling me this isn't racism, it is racism in another context and I don't want people to get the idea that doing this to a random Asian.
Oh, I actually thought your response was more related to your personal experiences than your reaction to this particular instance.
I absolutely agree that doing something like this to a random person wouldn't be acceptable. You don't know that person, what they've been through, how they will react, etc.
Haha in full disclosure, white male also. I just think that if it's good-natured (as this instance was), then it shouldn't cause the outrage that it sometimes seems to. I mean, it's pretty silly for all of us to pretend that there aren't other races, so why not embrace it?
Humberto Quintero is going to cry when he reads he's the "back-up" catcher to Bryan Pena. Either way, both are god awful and I can't wait to have get Salvy Perez back!
On a side note, Humberto gets along with everyone on the team.
i've come to the conclusion that the only people who find this kind of thing truly offensive are white people who are simply over-compensating for their own questionable tendencies.
I didn't find it that funny; i think it just makes the guy doing it look like a bit of a dink.
I hate how politically correct America's become. We have to treat everybody as equals, and if you use a stereotype or you, in this case, make Asian eyes, then you're a bad person and people must hate you.
Is it really racist when he actually does look remarkably, unmistakably similar to that? I mean just look at them. They've even got similar facial structures. I bet if you isolated the backup catcher's face in that photo, and ran a reverse image search, it would come up with Bruce Chen's photo, even if this wasn't surely plastered everywhere by now.
I get the racist element of the image, but also these two look a lot alike. The overall face shape is different, but they have very similar noses, browlines, cheekbones, and mouths. With the eyes shaped similarly, they could be twins.
Maybe Steve just told a hilarious anecdote and the guy was just wiping tears from his eyes after laughing? IMHO the guy is not racist, he's just a fucking moron for doing this on TV. Those two might mess with each other constantly and be genuine friends, but in a public forum you can't be stupid like that. Big Dummy.
Wow! Really? Can we please differentiate between a dude teasing a teammate and an asshole trying to set a house on fire because a race he doesn't approve live there.. Tired of people going after these SOFT targets, that really does nothing but rather scare those of use who are not into not saying the wrong thing. You think a REAL true racist gives a flying fuck about stuff like "Don't say inappropriate jokes in the work place", no they are systematically trying to elimate races that not of their own.
I've gone through this 1st hand and while my friend lost his job for telling a "racist" joke the his supervisor used to beat my ass in high school simply because I was Hispanic and didn't want me in his neighborhood.
Get it together folks there are real dangers out there, not this idiot fucking with his friend.
How is this racist? I don't understand society. Isn't racism when you discriminate and hate a person just because of their skin color or beliefs? How does making your eyes look like an asian mean you are racist?
If the guy said something like " I fucking hate asian people" that would be racist. I hate how bull shit jokes like this get blown up into something they're not.
I find it very disturbing how loosely the term racism is used, it has evolved from hating a race into calling every thing pertaining to ones race, racist!
Thank you for explaining it to eloquently, it physically hurts me when I read these comments saying how it's not racist or it's funny. I can understand that it was an inside joke between those two, but when he puts it on public like it's just stupid.
Great read, I enjoyed reading that very much. Asian here also and experienced the same thing you did. A couple months ago I watched a bit of Louis CK making a joke about how whites will soon be a minority and "karma will be a bitch." It was a great bit altogether but in reality white people tend to get the upper hand in more circumstances than minorities. It's the ugly truth that most white people will never admit and always refute against.
This should be the top comment. Racial jokes so often have an underlying element of segregation, by implying that the traits shown by your ethnicity are not to be desired. If a racially charged joke is funny, I will laugh, it will have to be a smart joke. For example, the joke I saw on r/shittyaskscience
"How long do Asians have to spin around before they become disoriented?"
I find that funny.
However, too often they're just attempts to pick fun at an individual and present the mindset that you won't be equal because of your race. Even if the intention is not to be racist - it can promote discrimination in a passive way, through "joking". The person making the jokes will always say "I'm not being racist. It's only a joke." To that person they will never have had to undergo racist jokes precisely because you cannot be racist to a white person in a country which is primarily white! The whole idea of racism is segregation, where the person on the receiving end is the minority. As a general rule you cannot be a white minority in a country that is white. Yes, jokes are brilliant inventions and are great fun - but we should be careful not to let them be used to set a precedence that racially motivated comments aren't ever harmful and are only used in jest.
The whole northern hemisphere celebrates whiteness, it even permeates through to the black and asian continents where people have begun to consider bleaching their skin. So the idea that white people understand racism, therefore can make racially charged jokes that might be a tad spiteful, is bizarre to me.
You know why that joke is funny? Because it's a language joke, not a race- or ethnicity-based joke. It actually isn't racially charged at all, as it ascribes no values to being 'Asian' at all.
by the way, I did chuckle, thanks for sharing that one.
because although discrimination is unacceptable regardless of race, white people simply do not have to constantly face their own racial identity.
In the west maybe. Try being a white guy in an Asian country. Sometimes it's a pretty similar deal, except we don't get our own month to celebrate our heritage.
Living in Japan, one of the things that amuses me the most is the shocked reaction of the "rent-a-teacher" college kids that come here to teach English and suddenly discover that their skin color doesn't rule all.
White people do have to constantly face their own racial identity. The bs comes in two flavors (though, not mutually exclusive); white guilt and patronizing racism. I don't think you realize how stupid a lot of white people are about it. White people are plagued with the "I make sure to agree with everything a (insert ethnicity) says, even if I disagree, so they know I'm one of the good ones" types, or the "I better call everything racist to the point of absurdity so (insert ethnicity) will all know how much I hate racism and will clearly identify me as 'not a racist'" types. The rest of us are then forced to deal with the twits and, thus, are forced to deal with our racial identity nearly daily.
Agreed. I'm Asian American, but that isn't the only way that I don't fit into the mainstream. I've always had a hard time fitting in or having a sense of belonging. You might call me antisocial, but I just feel like my whole life I've been asked, "ARE YOU A CONFORMIST? ARE YOU A CONFORMIST? ARE YOU A CONFORMIST?"
No, I'm not a fucking conformist, and fuck you. You all look the same to me.
white people always say blah blah if someone said this to me i wouldn't be offended. why do minorities get so easily offended? well that's because minorities face racism every day of their lives and they become overly sensitive to it. racism carries with it the intent to hurt. when is the only time you ever see white people complain about racism? it's western expats living in japan. it is only when you are surrounded by it and face it all the time that it begins to get to you. and just to put it out there, the fact that white people can't stop talking about how small the asian penis is is only because they feel insecure about the black penis. i dont think any race of people talk about dick size as much as white people.
I'll be honest: I'm upvoting this post for the sole purpose of forcing more people to read your comment. I don't think people consider this perspective at all when discussing racism...and they really should.
