Was This Badass Or Just Plain Unrealistic?

the Asian-American internet is talking about this scene from the show Warrior which is now on Netflix so you watch it and let me know what you think let's run the clip hey ching chong you smell yourself you don't walk away when I'm talking to you Ching J [ __ ] he's going to eat it off the dirt Le May what's with this one you sticking off your little buddy over there I asked you a question slant you don't understand [ __ ] yeah well you better learn it fast because if you don't answer me now he's going to bleed all over that fancy shirt of [Music] [Music] hit I wouldn't do that again if I were you [ __ ] slank and talk americ holy [ __ ] do it again say something I didn't travel halfway across the world in that damn boat just to amuse a few fat white [ __ ] there I said something you think because you speak American you can talk [ __ ] to me well you have to admit it helps some [ __ ] needs to learn his place you think you can take me on that's the wrong question oh yeah what's the right one the right question is do you really want to find out [ __ ] [Music] oh David how did this make you feel you can't help but feel a little bit something like when Bruce Lee was coming out in the 1970s beating people up okay fighting for justice being righteous a lot of people take this clip as very cathartic they're like wow this is there I needed to see this this is what we need more of I need to see more uh guys stepping up to the oppressors whether they're white guys or in this case they're the old white guys from the 19 that's the politically correct choice right now you should that's the uh non problematic choice but then uh so you so you go after them you beat them up you teach them a lesson is this scene realistic do you like the scene what do you like and don't like about this scene because I think we have understand that the show Warrior it is a good show I've seen some episodes I I'm not I didn't watch all the episodes even though I can right right but I acknowledge it is a good show but I guess how come we don't watch it more yeah I mean it's based off Bruce Lee's writings make sure you like subscribe turning your notifications check out smile ass sauce smile ass sauce.com I'll say this man I like the scene I can see why everybody's comment on on it but I don't like that a lot of people are pretty much going to like end it there what do you mean end it there like they're going to be like oh it was good to see it anyway go on my day and then like a bunch of Asians are going to get picked on like in their City you know what I mean like I'm not saying directly to them or their family but like possibly all right can this show Inspire anybody to stand up for themselves obviously not fight everybody and beat up everybody up that's like Beyond some physical limitations right but but is this show inspiring do you think this the scenes like this inspiring to people it can't hurt but it definitely is not the end all Beall like for myself I might be a little bit more even more excited by scenes like this one where this Asian guy was about to get jumped uh by a bunch of frat guys apparently we play Down Below I'm not going to we're just going to play the clip apparently yeah these guys are trying to jump him he ends up beating this guy up who looks like mamore no he he this guy yeah that's violent clip but yeah anyways yeah I think he's like a kazak boxer or something like that this a real thing that happened this this is a real thing and I guess what I'm saying is just like I'm more kind of like yeah media representation matters but at some point real life action matters a lot more here's what I think about this show Warrior at least just let me just talk about this clip because the show whether or not you watch the show I don't know right but Clips like this if it can Inspire some it's not going to change someone's life it's not like this kid who is gets picked on he watches the scene he goes I'm Gonna Act Like Him and I'm not getting picked on anymore and then he marches back out to his bully the next day after he doesn't have the of six men in one fist like Assam going boom like this and the guy going but I think it inspires you to look more into martial arts and train martial arts I think that is a very important step because I think training martial arts is the first small step into becoming like this guy even though this is a fake character like you know and it didn't even this this didn't happen it didn't happen the railroad The Rail Road workers didn't have any Assam yeah this guy did not I don't know he did not EX because he speaks English too fluently and he's whatever anyways it's it's a fictional character but I'm saying that it's nice to see but I guess that as long as it inspires you to take the next step and and maybe take a martial arts class then that's really good for your health and I think really good for your mental yeah I mean I'm just going to be not a buzz kill but I'm going to break down exactly probably what would have been realistic I'll tell you this at the time the most like masculine Chinese guys during this Railroad Rush where essentially people are like almost like quasi slaves right in dented servitude you know we we're probably some Asian gangsters who would if they they got tested somewhat defend Asians but they would also simultaneously like tax the Asian Community yeah like they would be which is the sort of the nature of Asian gangs everybody's always like you know how in general but you know how like anytime anything happens nowadays people are like bring the Asian gangs back and I'm like dude there was bad sides too yeah yeah there's good and bad I mean they definitely there's an alphaness that you miss and an intimidation Factor but they also they also often times take from I mean all gangs take from their own community and if you know about the people that like came over from Southern China at that time they did have sort of like a surf or a peasant mentality even in a self-identity and that's partially why there was no like uprisings to like fight back because they saw themselves as low in China they're coming to America to get money to send back to China they view themselves as like they got they got to take a lot of is either way mhm you know what I mean so I'm just saying like I just don't know how much this half white half Japanese actor shifts everybody's identity cuz he's coming from a super elevated place he's from a rich family even in the novel he's from like an elevated back I mean like the show he's from an elevated background just happens to be defending all the poor peasants but it's not going to turn the peasants all into like kingm minded people do you see what I'm saying where I'm like I don't know if what was like that's what I'm trying to say like I don't know people are really standing what are they wanting to see are they wanting to see everybody actually uplift themselves or become business owners or become revolutionaries or do they want these ra world workers to team up and kill all these mean white indentured servitude Masters or what do they want to do you make it interesting point I think what I would like to see more of is more like the inner workings of how like people can team up and work together I guess that's not as exciting as one man one super elevated one superhero Batman type coming in and and beating up the bad guys because visually you just like the scene right but ultimately what do you want to take from the show you want to take how to organize how to train each other how to care for each other how to care for your community hopefully hopefully that's what you draw from the show but again you know and maybe if you do happen to come from a downtrodden group in that moment or just for that era of History if you happen to be an elevated member reach back and help the people who are not as elevated now do you reach back and teach them all your Kung Fu moves or mental Kung Fu moves or what you know what I'm saying I guess reach back ah okay all right of course Andrew a bunch of people were hyped about it a lot of people were just like yo man I just love seeing this what do you think I mean people just love to see yeah the guy from a weak group beat the guys who are in the higher in the power hierarchy it was a cool line he called them uh called him some names fought back I guess it's cool to see kind of like some uh old school uh it was it was and it was a well done scene I mean Andrew Koji can really do martial arts so that's why it works Netflix say says that they'll fund season 4 if the Asian-American Community essentially I'm assuming that's who they're betting on pushes up the numbers for seasons 1 through three on uh you know on Netflix I think they're bluffing I don't know that show should the Asian-American community support this is what I'm saying is there any sort of like man this was from Bruce Lee's writing so we're supporting this old Legend and showing masculine Asian guys in a Time word we were so un masculine is it something that we should champion and all push for well if that was like if there was like a a number that we had to reach and we were Within Reach I guess I could see making a small extra push to reach that number but ultimately we don't know what the number is we don't know if Netflix is just bluffing and saying that just so you watch the show and they have like very low intentions of actually producing it because it cost millions of dollars so I guess my that would be my question because otherwise I'm just like I don't know I can't how about this guys check it out at least see if you like it no it's a cool show at least see if you like it it's a cool show I'm you know what I'm going to watch an episode tonight okay and i' I've seen maybe only four episodes in my life watch um somebody said has anybody dealt with similar situations in the past somebody said this was high school forum and somebody said in the 1970s or 60s this was way more like the real life story than like what is it now now it might be like in a corporate sense you're getting bullied but just not as much like this exact scene anymore yeah and I think that ultimately that's why you start the process and let this inspire you to take to do something bold to take up a bold class whether it's martial arts or take up even a a public speaking class or something that empowers you and gives you the skills some Western skill set in this world that improves those skills that you're going to need like just have this inspire you what what a modern day application it be would it be at work where guys are like hey Melvin why don't you stay in this weekend and uh run these numbers for me and then Melvin's like no it's not within my job description you should do your own work Cody oh that would be the equivalent of him assing it possibly I'm just throwing it out there tell me you're 2024 that's not the correct question the correct question you should be asking is how how are you going to figure it out next week when you come back on Monday and he CC's the Superior in Microsoft Outlook that's the Assam version um of course there was a bunch of people arguing saying like racism has been fixed I never got called a [ __ ] before blah blah blah this is fake news I'll tell you this listen guys everybody's experience is so different in this country and in 2024 I noticed the fishbowls are getting more disperate so there's some people who are going through almost something that seems very much like this scene in Warrior and there's people that depending on the flow of their life and the fishbowls that they Place themselves in or that like they'll never see anything like it do you know what I'm saying like it's a lot different than the 60s and 70s where everybody probably was like oh yeah for sure my dad went through something like this yeah I don't know how you can say there's no racism when we just had anti-asian hate stuff happen but I know not everybody has been called The CW to their face I have been but in different contexts um but it's not like yeah I don't get it every day now like I've noticed getting called the seword a lot less yeah it happens the past 5 10 years that man when we were growing up the frequency oh God I hope pretty high I hope it happens less but anyways guys so uh let us know how you feel about this scene how important it is is it to you to watch this show is this the best show is there other things that you can do should it just inspire you to take the next step in your life Warrior it is a well-made show shout out to Olivia changen we know her she we play basketball with her over in Toronto she's in the show um I hope they give it a season 4 yeah they should net I want to see how Netflix does yo that would be a crazy thing if Netflix puts it on that platform from HBO and then produces the next season it's almost like adopting someone else's kid that they abandon and then giving them a position at their company yeah dude it was been jumping all around I think it went HBO Showtime to to Netflix now W well people seem to like it so if it's still bouncing around you know it's a journey man of a show but that means it still has value so shout out I'm going to watch an episode today you have my word for it let us know what you think in the comments section below until next time we the hot hop boys be out peace
