Olivia Munn's Fans HATE Asian Supermarkets

They're like, yeah, I've been waiting for a time to make fun of Asians. It seems like a pretty good chance. One of those clam things. Asian-American celebrity Olivia Munn takes her son to an Asian supermarket for the first time in his life. She posts the video on her Instagram and the Internet goes nuts. Yeah, this is what's going viral in 2023, guys. Obviously, she really received like a bunch of different spectrum of comments on our Instagram. Some people are like, yeah, happy Lunar New Year. Sharing your culture with your son. Other people like, oh, Asian stuff is disgusting, especially the Asian supermarkets, cats, rats and dogs are dirty. Other people made it a veganism versus meat eater thing. Those comments went viral on another news site. There was comments on comments. And then it all splintered into three or four different hotly contested debates. All right, guys, we will play the clip of her Instagram video just to show you how crazy of a video it is. It's not really that crazy. But anyways, we're also going to talk about why everybody's talking about it, because why would anybody talk about what's happening on her Instagram? But we also got to talk about the importance of mixed Asian kids in the future. Oh, you guys might want to stick around for this. So please hit that like button. Right. Anybody who is an Asian-American studies, even though this, you know, incident is seemingly so trivial, there's a lot you can take away from it. Andrew, is that Olivia Munn has a lot of reach to a lot of audiences that are super not used to consuming anything Asian. And that's why it was so jarring for them. I think a lot of us full Asians, when we put stuff out on social media, typically it's going out to people who are either Asian themselves or people who are very comfortable seeing Asian things. Olivia Munn dated Aaron Rodgers. She dated a lot of non-Asians in Hollywood. She's about 40 years old. I think she has a lot of fans that are 50, 60. They were like shocked. Yeah. No. And think about it like Aaron Rodgers is a QB for the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay Packers is in Wisconsin. And, you know, I'm just saying maybe those fans, they're not very open to Asian things. Maybe they're following Olivia because they're like Olivia was in this movie. I like and she's very attractive, but I don't really care about her Asian side. Maybe Olivia seems like a gal that would like a guy like me. You know, I always fancy myself to be an Aaron Rodgers fan. You know, I mean, one in high school. I think Olivia being half Chinese, Vietnamese and half white, she has a lot of crossover with a lot of different people. And that's why mixed Asians moving on in the future, which we're going to get to is very important because they touch NHL, NFL, TMZ parts of America that the full Asians do not like. For example, Michelle Yeoh is so huge right now. But just like these guys in Wisconsin with the cheese hat on are not following Michelle Yeoh's social media. Right. Yeah. I mean, yes, for most like full Asian people, they're probably not going to get these comments. But I also think it's because the Asian supermarket thing is such an easy thing for people to crack jokes on and to come out and comment on. Because if there was a picture of Olivia Munn's mom, I don't think they're like saying as many racist things. You know what I mean? But the Asian supermarket, they're like, yeah, I've been waiting for a time to make fun of Asians. It seems like a pretty good chance. What are those clam things? Right. Is that a wet market that you're going to in Chicago at 88 Marketplace? Did it smell really bad there? To be fair, and it's like I'm trying to put my mind into their mind. Asian food sources are probably one of the most visually acceptable things to be like, man, that sure is different from us. Yeah. Let's just say this. Asian food sources are somewhat polarizing to a lot of Americans. But let's talk about point number two real quick, because it actually splintered into a bunch of different debates. Obviously, of course, there was more of like, I guess, that more racist side, which is like I eat meat, but not these cats, rats and dogs that these Asians do. But it really turned into more of like a veganism versus meat eater thing. And it was really interesting because the larger Asian culture, Andrew, I think on a lot of issues, Asians could be you could say traditional Asian contexts are either left or more right. But on the meat eater versus veganism thing, I almost want to say Asian culture gets put more on on team, right? Right. Because Asian culture is not really all about like the veganism and a focus on animal cruelty, even though a lot of Asians are vegan because they're Buddhist. Yeah, Buddhism is really big in Asia. And I do want to note that Olivia Munn years ago did do a lot of PETA campaigns that were against animal cruelty. And during her campaign, I remember this because I felt a little bad because I was like, oh, Olivia, why are you doing this to us? Oh, she kind of threw Chinese under the rug. I remember. Yeah. I mean, it was the footage that she that they use in the video that she was narrating was from China. Right. And it was cruel footage. No, it was dumb. That's messed up. They need to end that. Yeah, they need to end that. But it was kind of like, OK, it puts Olivia Munn now in this lane where she's riding for animal cruelty. Well, how can you be an animal cruelty activist, but then go to an Asian supermarket where they clearly don't care about how they set up and kill the food, which is not true, by the way. But that's how it seems to a lot of. Yeah. And then a lot of people were arguing, well, Asians are even more humane because they use more parts of the animal, because a lot of like Western markets, obviously, they're not eating the tripe. They're not eating this, the feet of the chicken. Yeah. Yeah. Let's just say this, guys. I think the way that Asians look at meat, like obviously non-human meat that they eat, they definitely have different views about it. Like they leave it as a whole piece more. They might kill it different ways, but I don't really know. I don't really think it's cruel, by the way. But anyways, guys, it's interesting because you will not even see that animal cruelty debate in Asia at all. Like there's people who don't eat meat and nobody judges them. And there's people who eat meat and nobody judges them. And it's kind of just like, oh, we're just all existing. Yeah. Perhaps it's more Buddhist than Daoist. Yeah. And the fact that Olivia Munn is able to even bring the concept of an Asian supermarket to her fan base, which is not about the Asian supermarket, which maybe doesn't have any exposure to it, which has never even been in one. Which brings us to our last point and the importance of Hapa Asians and Quapa Asians in the future. Yeah, Quapas are new. Quapas is what her child is, who he's a quarter Asian. But he's going to probably, as evidenced by this video, grow up with more exposure to Asian culture than like an average person who's just a quarter something. Exactly. And these people moving forward because there's so much mixing in the world and, you know, they're going to have a lot of representation in the Asian sphere. Basically, they're going to be bridges. It's very clear that Olivia Munn is actually kind of a bridge because she's dating Republican football players. She's doing stuff for PETA. And then she is also Chinese Vietnamese. And she is speaking up about Asian hate and stuff like that. She is part of the Asian community, maybe not at the center of it. But you know what I mean? Like she is trying to represent. So you're saying they're just like touching a lot of disparate parts of the game map where most people's identities, they tend to exist in like this corner of the tiles, this corner of the tiles here, here, they're almost like boom. And they're like almost emanating out, encompassing more tiles than your average, I guess, like person. Yeah. And the truth is, and we have a lot of Hapa Asian friends, right? And they feel like even their acceptance in the white or mainstream or non-Asian world is still somewhat with an asterisk because they're half Asian. But if you think about Kuapas, who are going to be a fourth Asian, but proud of being Asian, they're even going to have more penetration into the non-Asian world while still maintaining some pride about being Asian. Just like Jordan Clarkson and Jalen Green. Like on face value, you look at them, you're just going to think they're black. Like they're just black. But they're proud of being Filipino because they're Kuapas. And they're going to go back to the Philippines and play in these exhibition games or play in like a few league games, you know, to show some love and and go back there because their parents, their mothers are proud of being Filipino. Right. Kyler Murray, Tyga is a quarter Vietnamese. Kyler Murray, a quarter Korean. So I guess what we're saying is the Kuapas, the quarter Asian people are going to be, I guess, rising in the Asian-American representation sphere. Well, they won't take the place of full Asians because obviously there's the rest of the globe that is actually full Asian. Like there's billions of people who are Asian. And definitely I think that as a full Asian, you could have mixed feelings about it because you're like, dang, I got to be a quarter. I got to be three quarters, something else to get accepted for my quarter. But it's crazy to say that it's just like the game map kind of moves how it moves. I mean, this is just a prediction, by the way. We don't really know. Obviously, I hope that the full Asians can be accepted as well. But but I think they're going to be very important bridges. Basically, they will be considered if they want to be Asian-American representation. Yeah. And to be honest, the way the Asian-American groups are, they'll give them lifetime achievement awards. Yeah. Yeah. Whether you agree with that or not. Oh, by the way, Olivia Munn's baby is really cute. And I would say in these pictures, he looks almost full Asian, except maybe his skin tone is a little bit more white. But that's because John Mulaney himself looks like a quopper. No, John Mulaney looks like he's a quarter fifth generation Japanese-American. Yeah. Anyways, guys, let us know in the comments down below what you think about all this. What do you think about mixed Asians and everything like this in the future, guys? Because, you know, we're going to have more mixed Asians as part of being Asian representation, which is great because they can bridge certain things that even full Asian looks have trouble doing. Yeah. But they do need to be proud. And who would have thought that such a trivial video, but because of the market reach that Olivia Munn has in her past celebrity would like impacted this much? I don't know. To this day, I'm always surprised at how much everybody in America needs to understand everything through celebrity. But that's just how it is. Let us know what you think in the comments section below. Until next time, we're the Hot Pop Boys. We out. Peace.
