Worst Asian Ever: Ken Jeong

Ken Jeong (정강조) #WAE
Web  -  Twitter

   Ok, maybe he's not THE worst, but I'm not a big fan of Dr. Kendrick Kang-Jo Jeong

   I have nothing against Ken personally. I understand how difficult it is for Asian Americans to make it in Hollywood.

   What disappoints me is the whiny, annoying, obnoxious, weird characters he always plays & it's because of these roles that he is one of the most successful & prominent Asian American actors of this decade.

   I know people gotta pay their bills & if Ken didn't play these roles, casting would always find someone else.

   The rationalization is always the same, it's a first step, foot in the door. First we play slave, pimp, mugger, ho & that paves the way for future generations to play the hero, president, cowboy.

VID: Endless Asian Basketball Stream

    In honor of the start of the 2014-15 NBA season, here are a trailer load of not so serious, non-professional basketball vids from some of my fav Asian Youtubers.

David So  -  Fung Bros  -  ISAtv 

Street Ballin Basics - Let's begin w/ a funny sketch showing an Asian trash talker taking one step beyond.

   What am I supposed to do, talk about the only active Asian player in the NBA, Jeremy Lin? Man, I caught Linsanity when he was in the GSW Warriors Summer League.

   There's FOB Asian player coming up, Yuki Togashi who I believe will make into the NBA this season as a replacement for an injured PG.
U heard it here 1st!

Watch the YT Playlist or checkout the rest of the vids below

VID: The Best of David So Comedy

David So
YouTube  -  Facebook  -  Twitter  -  Store

   David So is a Korean American comedian & serious R&B musician. His Youtube channel is huge w/ close to 1 mil subscribers & over 130 mil views. 

   Ball Handles - Especially for Bball fans, this is the rec league player we all know & hate, the dirtiest, weakest baller who thinks he's got pro skillz.

   Just do it pt2 -  Accurate characterizations of Koreans, so glad this is in Korean. Here is the difference between racism & comedy, when ur part of a culture U recognize certain stereotypes that exist in reality, when ur an outsider the conclusions ur making aren't based on intimate knowledge of the culture, but thru the filters of media or ur 1 friend of color (who is ur friend bc they're an outcast from their own heritage).

Jenny Yang: If AZNs said the stuff whitey says

   If U enjoy 'white whine' (TM) check out the comments section. I fortunately, have become allergic to 'white whine'. It was the result of living in Asia for the past 15 years & hearing the mumbles, moans, & mewls of whitey experiencing discrimination for the first time. I now must avoid whitey at all cost because hearing about FWP (Fapping White Problems) gives me a severe rash & migraines.

YM: Canada ..& my grandfather was born here too.
W: Wow, ur English is really good.

Worst AZN EVR! - Stephen Colbert

Worst AZN EVR! - Stephen Colbert

   I know this is waaay late, but I had to include Ching Chong Ding Dong on the Worst AZN EVR list.

   I've been a Colbertian since '06. He's the only comedy I watch, so I wasn't offended by Ching Chong bc I understood his intent.

   That said, I think he may have pushed it too far with the Ching Chong foundation.

   Imagine something similar done w/ a black character, making fun of the fact that the stereotype even existed w/ that very character some kind of Uncle Tom. I guess Uncle Ruckus on the Boondocks is this type of character.

   It can B done, but it's a very thin & high tightrope to walk, especially without a safety net. Tarantino managed this ever so skillfully w/ Django Unchained, which could have gone horribly wrong.

   The CancelColbert movement scared the shit out of him & I don't think we'll see Ching Chong evr again.

FILM: The Break-up Guru (分手大师)

New Chinese movies I want to see in 2014:

The Break-up Guru (分手大师)

   Why I want 2 C it: Comedy rarely travels well because humor is so culturally specific, but Break-up Guru looks just bizarre enough that it would have lots of WTF laughs. The kind of outrageous gags that made 'The Hangover' such a huge success. Now what the average Chinese person finds outrageous might be quite different.
   I'm interested to see it because I found Stephen Chow's 'King of Comedy' (targeted @ a Chinese audience) much funnier than his post-Shaolin Soccer attempts, when he was more aware of his international audience.

   A gross stereotype U can't believe until U meet someone who is exactly like that. 

   IMO this is an acurate impersonation of his Mom, which is why she's such a charming character.
