Asian stereotypes | Kee Pupat | TEDxYouth@RegentsSchool

He’s making pretty decent jokes but the silence is making me super uncomfortable, poor guy. A really interesting talk though.

Thanks Kee... about time someone in our race address this stereotype.

For me, being an Asian-Australian it's almost the same situation. Except for the fact that my Mother (being Japanese) didn't really teach me Japanese or anything. Of course I can understand common sayings but I am not able to participate in a legitimate conversation in Japanese. To add to that, I don't exactly look Asian either, at all. Also, my school actually exposes the kids to Japanese culture since Japanese is a language they teach. This whole thing SUCKS. People don't even realise they're plain out insulting half of my race in front of me. In my school it's the norm to have black racism frowned upon except asian racism are okay? Personally i'd rather no racism at all but this fact is infuriating. Also, any attempt I make at defending half of me, my mother and my grandparents is perceived as me being "sensitive" or having no sense of humour. There are also so many other things like people saying "learning Japanese is a complete waste of time and the language and culture sucks anyway" or "imma just write kim kung chong chung and get an A." To me, these kinds of things really need to be addressed and more often than not goes unnoticed.

If you actually bothered to read this, here: Even if you're asian, stop saying that this particular Tedx talk is bad; a rant. This guy is just explaining Asian stereotypes. He may sound like endless complaints but you want to know what is the worst? Us asians becoming these asian stereotypes. He may be quiet bias to the fact that these stereotypes are ridiculous. But, as being asian, these things are true. Plus, if no one talks about this issue, who else will?

I'm blasian and I agree with this guy on everything 🤙

the double standards of racial prejudices are highlighted very well in this video

I know this person. His name is P'Kee (obvious, I don't need to point that out XD). He's very nice and feels passionate. Before you say that it's not Tedx-worthy, keep in mind that this is a talk at a school where students can talk about ideas that are worth sharing. If he wants to complain about this, LET HIM. He threw in emotions and hate to prove a point. Just by reading the comments from some people, I can tell that he won. You thought that it was worth expressing your opinion about it and therefore, he caught your attention! Better yet! You might have told your friends about this 'guy who throws in endless complaints and hates everyone'. Great! The video and his message were spread out. The 302 people that clicked like, THANKS! But... the 31 DISLIKES show that people paid enough attention to come to a conclusion that his talk was 'bad' enough to click the thumbs down icon. Maybe this video and P'Kee's talk stuck in your mind... I don't know. But in my opinion, I think that he won because he got his point across and made you pay attention to it. Oops!

I was talking to two of my friends who are boys (I'm a girl), and we were discussing our favourite school subjects. Mine was math (I have blonde hair), and Brian said that he hates math. Calvin said "Aren't you supposed to like math?" I looked Brian in the eye and said; "Grow up". All names have been changed.

Snickerfudge. I'm just going to say it. Kee's hot. No regrets.

Stereotype is different for different Asian. For Maths etc is Chinese/Korean. Not Thai. For Thai people think massage/escorts/ladyboy/kickboxing.

No joke, I was in Taiwan for a month and made a friend. He looked at a photo of my friends and I back in the US. All of us had different eye colors, hair colors, and hight. Then he said "you all look the same". We both died laughing.

So damn true, In my physic class, When Asian solved the hard problems , the teacher told us that I didn’t believe you could solve it, so I thought you are cheating, wtf, .....

Rest In Peace big homie

Omg as a Thai woman, I felt this to my core. Liked this Ted talk

Pulls up a picture of two indian men he has never met than calling them idiots without knowing who they even are. I'm Asian and this was cringeworthy

Thank you for that great talk. I have so many experiences like that, even now working in a hospital as a doctor, people around me with academic backgrounds making that kind of “funny asian jokes “. For me they are insulting my race. There was one time I freaked out after 2 weeks of daily asian jokes, i said “shut the f*** up”. Suddenly i got suspended and was called to the chief. I had to apologize, but those people didn’t have to apologize for their asian jokes. Because in their and the chiefs mind, those comments are not racism. Even if i point out, that its racism, no one believed me. They keep telling me, that i am the one who is constantly overreacting. And I was thinking, maybe they were right. I started blaming myself. But thanks to the asian community in the internet and your talk i realized, that the problem was them and not me.

Well done!!!

When people ask me what kind of asian i am i say. Yes its all true! We are half breed aliens thats why we are good with math and have weird eyes then I do the alien spacecraft sound. Doesnt bother me when people ask me. Some are just really currious how its the same if I flip it around how other races are

Love you man!

Is there a transcript for this?
