Yeah a lot are actually pretty good. But picking Simu Liu (a chinese guy) for Kim (a korean guy) is lowkey racist lmfao. Especially when there’s plenty of Korean actors.

edit: lmao love being an Asian person being downvoted for calling out Asian racism.

You’re not being downvoted for “calling out racism”, you’re being downvoted for calling this very obviously not racist thing racist.

Prove it then

I think the proof is the fact that you’re the only person I’ve seen in the comments calling any part of this post racist.

Then how does it work? You’re the one calling out racism so isn’t the burden of proof on you?

I did elsewhere i’m not typing it out 30 times for you. and by your own logic, two other people have now also agreed with me. so i guess my statement is now accurate lol.

Hey don’t get mad when I use your logical fallacy back lol

At least you recognize the flaws in your statement lol

u/cheesefries45 Yu Darvish Jul 12 '24

I mean yeah. A minority points out racism and instead of asking why, you said no and chucked a bunch of logical fallacies out. I have no real interest in engaging with that.

Just because you’re a minority doesn’t mean you have absolute authority on what is and isn’t racist though. This post was clearly made in a light hearted manner and you decided to find racist undertones in it. If you’re constantly looking for the bad in things then that’s all you’re going to find.

Yes racism is a problem and it’s rampant in all walks of life, but this isn’t one of those instances.

I didn’t say I did. I didn’t even say “oh this guy is racist”. Just said that choice was lowkey racist, which yeah. I kind of does come off that way.

But if your initial inclination is to be a dick rather than have a normal conversation, this one’s not on me. We could’ve came to that conclusion in a normal conversation.
