Assuming this is true, that is not only tasteless, some would say evil (I don't really believe in evil, though), but above all: it's out of touch. Doesn't seem like good business, there's so much middle ground between cheap sex appeal and woke reboots. I don't see how this could be a reasonable response to the latter.
The article itself isn't exactly seeping with tangible details and sources, though. I don't think this is really telling us anything new.
- bertil 5y agoI wouldn’t quote this YouTuber for everything, but he was born in South Africa and was a teenager when the country was still under apartheid: if he was horrified by the blatant racism when he was in China, I can’t imagine it was light or rare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtVozQG2Q-4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtVozQG2Q-4 I’m not really surprised. And I’m scared that might be good business _in China_; whether the effort to go against that trend will pay off internationally remains to be seen.
- stone-monkey 5y agoKnew it was a serpentza link before I clicked on it. You can make your own conclusions but I don't really see him as anything more than a clickbaiter. He lives in the US now and has said that the US is the only society without true racism, if you want to get a sense of his biases. https://www.reddit.com/r/Expatshame/comments/nlxlxs/serpentza_a_white_man_goes_a_majority_white/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Expatshame/comments/nlxlxs/serpentz...
- DiggyJohnson 5y agoI'm not sure I'm comfortable with calling that a silly bias unless I heard his explanation. Point taken though - I'm weary of this genre of content producer.
