Asians Are Mad At Michelle Yeoh Over This

are you starting to get sick of all these Brands pandering to Lunar New Year just to sell you more stuff this is a question that is being debated on the internet right now you know every February I think that the Chinese culture's image in the west is getting better but uh I've come to the realization they're just after some more cheddar we got to talk about it and Lululemon is under Fire because they launched a huge big money ad campaign with Michelle yo promoting Lunar New Year Chinese New Year the Asian queen of actresses Michelle yo all right should we play a clip of the commercial let's go [Music] [Music] WR [Music] show [Music] oh my goodness Andrew is this pandarin to the mandarins is this lit uh you got a range of opinions and people getting pretty heated overath leisure in

and that will be better than any of the products we're about to pop up on the screen right now for the year or the Dragon Len Andrew are you sick of this is this hype is it lit cuz they did Crouching Tiger Hidden spandex pants yeah uh I mean everybody's coming out with their shoes their watches the wallets that everything is Chinese New Year theme Lunar New Year um but I I got I'm personally pretty sick of it because I haven't bought into it that much I like the fact that people are celebrating it I guess because that makes it feel like Lunar New Year which is a significant holiday to Asians right that you know it's being acknowledged and celebrated but I don't care for all these items man every year it's just red and gold everything and I'm just like guys if you didn't buy last year's red and gold watch are you going to buy this year's red and gold spandex are you going to buy next year's red and gold hoodie like how no you going to buy it this year because it's going to be a good animal it's going to be the dragon next year is going to be the snake nobody want to buy things with a snake on it yeah so I think that here's my opinion Lululemon has been under some controversy which du to chip Wilson right because chip Wilson the former founder he was the founder of Lulu uh lemon but he is no longer part of the company he just owns part of the company but he's not part of the operations right right he's been talking crazy saying racially insensitive things there's definitely been some other racially insensitive things that Lulu Lemon has done towards Asians so I think they're just trying to hire are you talking about bad fried rice theed was a shirt that was promoted by one of the art directors but he got fired right so this was not an official Lululemon shirt by the way it's not real but it was like promoted as a joke and it was a bad joke so I think they're just trying to hire the queen of all Asian actresses Michelle yo to make up for it right and and obviously well you know Lululemon they used to say they didn't need celebrities but here they are Michelle need the Asian celebrity they're oh yah don't you know we're trying to patch things up with the Asians because we know that the Chinese boy do they love their Lulu um at least they can say it unlike the Japanese um you know I'll say this man with all these products you know that that the Lululemon thing I could see why it's controversial specifically because if a brand Andrew is like embattled under some racial controversy of course them then add seemingly with them Super Hyper embracing the culture I believe they're in like jangu somewhere filming this yeah they got the Wing Chun dancers and the do it's so it almost just like no it was like almost OD right you know their other uh celebrity endorsements are Jordan Clarkson and I think DJ metf and Conor B there's NHL NFL part Asian part yeah yeah yeah but I'm just like guys like all of a sudden L know Michelle yo I think you're just trying to win the Asians over Andrew do any of these Brands really care about Chinese culture what would that look like would that be like actually sponsoring some families to like get together in some sort of uh parochial like Village colloquial days type thing there's no Stories being told they're not highlighting uh people that you know interesting Chinese people they're just picking the Stars paying the money just trying to sell stuff I just I'm tired it's not that I'm against like cool stuff I like cool stuff you're against red things you're against the red and gold cuz I know that's how y'all like to dress like a little hung bow just but put hung bow wise everything if any Brands out there that are cool want to send us their cool Lunar New Year Chinese New Year Edition stuff I will still take it but I'm getting kind of tired of a lot of the designs because they're just they're tasteless they're not good well a lot of it is just based around uh materialism consumptionism you know some s or Tong Dynasty Decor that has been juxtaposed on top yeah yeah so so David how does it make sense if the core let's just say in a joking way like what Ronnie said let's say the Ronnie changen when he said like the core of Chinese New Year is I hope you get rich get rich get money right be prosperous right that is the general message how does buying things get you more Rich buying things you can't resell well you know what they say that buying Year of the Dragon things will bring you a more auspicious Year of the Dragon so kind who said that well that's what I see on that's what I see on the copyrighting who said that buying the Chinese New Year Lululemon is going to bring you luck no what about the gadiva set what about the Legos what about the Fossil watch what about the Nikes what about the 70 trillion items that you could get in red and gold won't bring you look it's just to be cool so just buy it to be cool not for the luck listen text your mom text your dad call your grandma on FaceTime that's going to mean a lot more if you really want to actually celebrate the true meaning of yeah it went too far into the materialism man we got to bring it back guys got to bring it back guys just bring it back to the H bow and and family dinners and a little bit of the dancing man that's just bring it back to that dude oh my goodness anyway let's just get into the comment section somebody said you know for me I just love Lulu a little more this campaign is so relaxing unlike other brand just slapping red everywhere and call it Chinese New Year so this was a little bit of her criticizing the other brands but bigging up Lululemon because there is a lot of wing uh Wing Chun in it and things like that sure I guess I guess this wasn't the worst ad Andrew are you buying this Lululemon Wing Chun clothes because you do martial arts I'm just saying they have a Wing Chun collection apparently in the color red for Len no I don't think I'm going to buy it um some people were just talking about arguing andreww the like basically some people were saying they love Lululemon that are Asian and other Asians were like what you're supporting a brand that is racist against Asians why would you do that and people are firing back and forth um why do you think Asians ride so hard for Lululemon but then some people are also like so on the anti- Lululemon train and how did this end up being this way only Asians have this polarized an opinion I don't see any other groups fighting over Lululemon I don't know I don't know if the uh Latino Americans are fighting over Lululemon like this I don't even know if white people are uh somebody just said congrats people want to cancel everything and not give Brands a chance to change their narrative Michelle is the ultimate ideal brand ambassador for a high-end Fitness brand no like I said Michelle yo is a great pick for this I'm not falling for it though right um of course people were questioning m Michelle Yo's decision somebody came through and said Wing Chun has been practiced by Cantonese for centuries why would you do this at in Mandarin this is out of context Lululemon has made a huge mistake well obviously he probably said it in a Kanto accent to be honest and then of course this went back and forth everything is politicized nowadays everybody was saying that Michelle yo sounds a lot better when she speaks Cantonese her Mandarin is a little stiff I do agree with that her Mandarin her Cantonese sounds better than her Mandarin um a lot of people were just like dude just what what's going on right now Andrew where do you stand on this where do you stand on this Lululemon Wing Chun ad it was a good ad I'm just not falling for it it was a well done ad it was it was it was a well done ad it was well done um ultimately man I'll just say this guys the consumerism around Lunar New Year Chinese New Year it's out of control yeah it's out of control I mean I think that really it's a time to honor your ancestors your family if the products help you do that by all means I I could see cuz I always say the modern moon cakes with the ice cream in the middle they make it more fun because you can like share it with your friends and with you know other people in a more Universal way yeah I'd like to see more restaurants do more Lunar New Year packages I would do that because I might not be you know what I mean like I want to eat a Lunar New Year dinner at a Chinese restaurant like they need to have that special set you know what it is if GD Andrew is going to release 600 sets of Lunar New Year chocolates they CH they can't not just be gold red and Jade colored how about the flavors inside of the chocolates have some Chinese flavoring yeah yeah don't be lazy go come up do some R&D come up with a new recipe come up with a new flavor oh leachy flavor never wrong to go leachy never wrong like what if a little leachy nougat and by the way I know that not only Chinese people celebrate Chinese New Year our Lunar New Year you know a lot of Vietnamese for but I'm just saying you know let's be honest the companies is going for the Chinese yeah yeah yeah I mean I I do feel like I feel for some of the my Viet friends who also celebrate Lunar New Year very hard that you know but then the companies they're not they're not marketing to the vits CU you think they're looking for like a Lego version of the gambling shrimp game I mean guys listen let us know what you think in the comment section below for me I'm so over all the consumerism I used to buy a lot of the the year of the zodiac animals uh Nikes back when like no other companies were doing it Nike used to make the year of the rabbit Air Force One look like a rabbit nowadays they might release 45 versions and just throw like a little rabbit on the heel there's just no more thinking that goes into it when was the last time you bought something Lunar New Year themed and then you got complemented on it after New Year's no because usually they're ugly like nine out of 10 times all right everybody let us know in the comments down below are there any Lunar New Year Chinese New Year items that you are going to buy that are like you know kind of you know just just you're just trying to spend money or are you sick of it too and how are you going to celebrate it just maybe this
