> asian-looking people They were waving CCP flags, so making that sounds like some kind of race blindness is a bit wild. > but this is a common courtesy and basic politeness every semi-professional vlogger understands. The way they acted when asking not to be filmed was very impolite.

CCP flags? That's just China's flag. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China#/media/File:Flag_of_the_People's_Republic_of_China.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China#/media/File:Flag_of_the_...

> They were waving CCP flags Its a PRC flag. I don't think "CCP" flag is even a thing. CCP or Chinese isn't a race, so I don't get the "race blindness" bit at all. > The way they acted when asking not to be filmed was very impolite. Was it? I see a woman carefully approaching the guy and calmly and quietly asking if they were in the video, trying to communicate that they don't want to be. There is a clear language barrier and the guy mocks her when she tries to approach in different ways. I'd say the guy is clearly behaving like a dick and is actively looking for conflict. Ironically the very next video YT suggests on this channel is named "security goons try to ban music and failed", suggesting that the guy really has a certain way about himself.

  Yeah, although when the Chinese guy claims (and screams) that the pianist touched the girl he turned into a bigger dick.

    Challenge of who is a bigger dick: a guy who is openly racist, makes fun of other people language skills and makes it a principle to act like a dick vs the guy who got hysterically overprotective - a challenge we truly deserve. I don't personally believe in the "bigger dick" narrative when the whole point of trolling is provoke someone to loose their cool. The piano guy spend good few minutes poking those asian people, making fun of them and even tried grabbing one of them. The biggest dick is the one who is looking for conflict, not the one whom they found during their trolling quest.

      Well it's really hard to establish bigger dickness, although the Chinese was very polite the rest of the time, making up an assault case is pretty dicky (and probably criminal). I don't know about the racism though, it's possible but he might simply not like the Chinese government and political system (and assume that waving a Chinese flag means supporting it, which was probably the case).

        > making up an assault case is pretty dicky (and probably criminal). The pianist actually did try to grab that woman, look at the video. I can't even say if the asian guy overreacted because I can't imagine myself being in the same conversation and not busting the pianist's nose or balls - and that's what would have probably happened if the pianist gave the same attitude towards a random white British girl off camera. > I don't know about the racism though, it's possible but he might simply not like the Chinese government and political system He was calling them "Japanese" while cracking jokes about "Chinese government" and mocking their language skills, while the woman he tried to grab was explaining to him that she is actually British. That's clearly racist. One's political preferences is never an excuse of such a behavior towards individuals - a lot of people tend to forget that. > and assume that waving a Chinese flag means supporting it, which was probably the case Tourist groups often use flags in order to keep track of the group members. Thousands of people use the Union Jack or the US flag as a mere garage decoration. There are myriad of possible reasons a person could be holding some nations flag other than to show support for a certain political force within that nation.
