It's Black History Month, which means it's time to honor all things Black History. And what better way to honor Black History than to celebrate it by celebrating the Black Lives Matter movement? Join us this week as we honor the month of Black History with a special episode of Louder with Crowder.
00:05:46.000We honor it, really, I would say, more reverentially than most programs.
00:05:52.000And ironically, it coincides right now with the left being more blatantly racist out in the open than I think They intend to be.
00:06:02.000So we'll be talking about Whoopi Goldberg, we'll be talking about John Oliver, we'll be talking about some of the incidents that have been occurring.
00:06:08.000And, you know, wrapping this all up in a nice bow.
00:06:11.000It's always sort of ironic to me when people on the left say, well, don't see anyone through a group.
00:06:45.000If you miss us here on YouTube, this is the only—it's just—if we don't tell you that we're not going to be doing a show the next day, that means the show is still going on.
00:06:53.000You can tune in on Rumble, or of course on Mug Club, where we do an extra full hour of show, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.
00:07:33.000Before you watch it, it's always interesting for us to see what you know, and people will often comment.
00:07:37.000The best thing is to comment, and then comment below your comment once you watch the segment and see if your opinion has changed.
00:07:42.000We're going to get into John Oliver and, of course, the lawsuit right now with Harvard, one of the Carolina universities, and I always forget which one.
00:10:05.000Yesterday he made this, now you know about the Spotify controversy, we addressed it yesterday with Joe Rogan, it's absurd, talk about Orwellian, everyone else trying to exert their pressure, Black Rock Group, they're trying to of course make sure that you have all these warnings.
00:10:18.000Well, you know, you would think that Stephen Colbert, being an entertainer, someone who necessarily should defend freedom of speech, of course.
00:10:28.000Of course, it's a little different when you work for one of the major media conglomerates.
00:10:41.000We here at Spotify have been under fire recently for amplifying COVID-19 misinformation.
00:10:46.000In fact, our podcasts have faced so much scrutiny that most people haven't even noticed that we're also spreading misinformation with music!
00:12:09.000We live in an era where anti-fascists are supporting mandates, punching people in the face, who demand freedom, and we live in an era where entertainers and comedians are trying to get other comedians removed for opinions.
00:12:22.000Well, actually for interviewing people.
00:14:27.000He missed out on the Johnson & Johnson one.
00:14:29.000Did they watch the Dancing Needle sketch and they were like, you know what guys, what we need to do is take this and we need to make it shittier.
00:14:47.000And see if anything sort of looks like medicine.
00:14:49.000Let's just put them together like it's a board game because that's a pretty much out... Well, I heard that Jimmy Fallon just kills by smashing eggs on one of the Hemsworth brothers' heads, so this is gonna be gold.
00:15:30.000I think it's old people watching this and going, That's clever!
00:15:33.000I didn't even know they made that song.
00:15:35.000It is, because they've been trapped inside for two years because every show they watch just terrifies them.
00:15:40.000It's either Days of Our Lives or this.
00:15:42.000Yeah, I think his audience is basically the equivalent of the victim in Scarface, where they hold his eyes open to make him watch his friend die, only it's Colbert.
00:16:41.000Yeah, what we do is we give Tom Selleck our house, and he pays us, and then we leave you kids with debt.
00:16:48.000And then I took the vaccine because that nice man in the needle costume told me to, but I have lupus, and now I wear a leather helmet, and my head touches my shoulder blade.
00:19:29.000So we just put it all together to show the historical interactions between the different cultures over this past year.
00:19:37.000The suspect in that vicious attack on a 65-year-old Asian-American woman in Hell's Kitchen is a convicted murderer out on parole after killing his own mother.
00:19:48.00038-year-old Brandon Elliott's under arrest tonight.
00:19:50.000He's facing assault and hate crime charges.
00:19:52.000He was released from prison just two years ago after serving a little over a decade for killing his mother.
00:19:57.000That brutal head-stop attack on a 61-year-old Asian man in Harlem.
00:20:12.000The suspect arrested is now charged with a hate crime.
00:22:19.000So, yesterday, when discussing the Tennessee school that banned the book Miles, I didn't say it correctly, Miles, Whoopi Goldberg, Which is an excellent book, by the way.
00:22:29.000Whoopi Goldberg said, and this is the theme today, I think I've put my finger on it.
00:22:36.000Hold on a second, why do they say this is racist on the left?
00:22:41.000Oh, they have no idea what racism actually is, as seen by Whoopi Goldberg yesterday saying that the holocaust... Let me just be clear.
00:22:54.000The holocaust was not, in fact, about race.
00:22:58.000No, I know you think this is, this is a real clip.
00:23:00.000A Tennessee school pulled the graphic novel Mouse out of their lessons on the holocaust because it contained some nudity and some bad language.
00:23:10.000Personally, I'm shocked because, you know, given the story of Maus, I'm surprised that that's what made you uncomfortable.
00:23:19.000The fact that there was some nudity and, I mean, it's about the Holocaust, the killing of six million people, but that didn't bother you.
00:23:30.000I'm not sure that they don't use the naked part as a kind of a canard to throw you off from the fact that they don't like history that makes white people look bad.
00:23:40.000Well, this is white people doing it to white people.
00:24:16.000I mean, this is what happens when you just put five hot flashes at a table in morning TV.
00:24:24.000So let me get this clear, and I'll get to it, I don't disagree with her, I wouldn't have disagreed with her point entirely, I'm giving her some grace here, if she would have explained it properly, which she didn't, but more importantly, so Whoopi Goldberg, hold on a second, the Holocaust, you know, all about the Aryan, you know, supremacy, that's where we get white supremacy effectively from when we're discussing it today, so that's not about race, but Whoopi, all of these other things, we have a montage coming up, were?
00:24:54.000I hate to ask this question, but you have aligned yourself with a man who has bashed women, made countless racist remarks, and... Show them.
00:25:29.000Now, if you can't look at that and say, hey, we have an issue and we got to sit down and talk about it.
00:25:35.000And the problem I have is the only way to become a good Republican is to become a Democrat, according to the media.
00:25:41.000And I just, I don't know what to do anymore because I can't keep coming on TV every day saying that we're all Nazis and, you know, Hitler salutes and whatever.
00:26:18.000Let me make sure that I understand this.
00:26:20.000Donald Trump, Republicans, Ben Carson.
00:26:25.000These are all, I just want to make sure that I understand, someone who votes Republican, someone who votes for Donald Trump, someone who is in the cabinet of Donald Trump, who happens to be a black man, these are all examples of racism.
00:26:35.000These are examples of problems that are all predicated on race, but the actual movement That took place in Germany which resulted in the, in their mind, necessary eradication of an entire race of people predicated on the idea of one and only one superior Aryan race is not... Oh, I see, I understand now.
00:27:04.000She never even bothered to look at, okay, well, maybe I don't think it's about race, but Jewish people, you know, typically Middle Eastern descent can be part of that mix, okay?
00:28:12.000It was just, you know... You know what she fails to point out is the other... She got on the train first.
00:28:16.000Yeah, the other six million people that were killed by Hitler were black gypsies, professors, gays, cripples, like it wasn't... There was a little bit of ableism going on.
00:28:46.000This is the issue that is really taking place though.
00:28:50.000There's a disconnect, there's a growing disconnect, sort of like what we talked about with Trudeau saying this fringe minority and these views are not acceptable.
00:29:06.000I mean, if they could back away from that set, you know, but they can't.
00:29:10.000They can't put wheels on those chairs.
00:29:12.000They're not weight-tested to the... The issue here is they don't know what race... They're so far beyond the actual definition of racism, and they've continued to change the definition of racism, that they... Well, hold on a second.
00:29:26.000When people say find common ground, If we can't all agree on the idea that the Nazis, particularly Hitler, the idea of a supreme Aryan race and eradication of non-Aryans is racist, then we're not going to find common ground.
00:29:49.000They changed the definition of racism on their website and actually now it's just white supremacy.
00:29:56.000It's just white supremacy against people of color.
00:29:59.000It used to be classifying a group of people or using prejudice to say something about a group of people, whether they were white, black, Hispanic, Asian, didn't matter.
00:30:08.000You were just saying that this group of people is inferior because of this, because of their race.
00:30:18.000That's what racism was that we agreed upon, but that's not what it is anymore.
00:30:22.000Well, you're also talking about the Holocaust happened at a time where it was like Irish, Germans, you know, Italians, Jews, they wouldn't date.
00:31:23.000It's because if they keep telling children that everything is racist.
00:31:25.000For example, she used to be a racist as an example.
00:31:27.000Well, you can say that that's just race, or you can say that it was a kid in a hoodie who looked like he was 25 aiming a replica gun at people in a park, and the cops were concerned, right?
00:31:40.000The Aryan race, the premise was there is one race, one race to rule them all, and it's the tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyes guy, until Schmeling got his ass kicked by Joe Louis.
00:31:51.000They're like, oh boy, these black people are very explosive!
00:31:54.000Then they hosted the Olympics and they lost in the races.
00:31:57.000It's because they want two races, white and black.
00:32:00.000No, it's because... And that doesn't fit their narrative.
00:32:02.000That as well, but I think if you have children reading this book about the Holocaust, if you have children reading To Kill a Mockingbird, or they also see real racism and they see someone combating real racism, they'll go, OH!
00:33:01.000Well, they said there was foul language, too.
00:33:03.000Do we know of any foul language that they've been able to show?
00:33:05.000Because if you're showing that to a kid at a certain age and there's bad language in it, you probably either want to scrub that a little bit for them, if it's like a 7-year-old or an 8-year-old, a 9-year-old, I don't know.
00:33:14.000Yeah, you don't want to have any swears when you're watching people get gassed.
00:33:18.000Well, no, you want to focus on what's important in this.
00:33:35.000I want people to understand where it came from, why it happened so we can avoid ever having it again, and you guys are the fascists now.
00:33:41.000And I don't entirely—here's the thing, I understand the—I would understand the point she was trying to make if she said, for example, well, look, actually, World War II, when you look at Nazi Germany, how did Hitler come to power?
00:33:50.000Because we're never actually allowed to ask this question.
00:33:52.000It doesn't mean that you support Hitler or the Nazis.
00:33:53.000You say, okay, they were internationally embarrassed, right, with the Treaty of Versailles.
00:34:05.000If she was trying to say, so it's not just about race, but it's actually about a litany of factors that then race became sort of the pinnacle and of course the boiling point.
00:34:13.000No, instead she says, it's about human nature!
00:34:23.000No, it's about othering people, and we've known this throughout history, that any time that you say another group of people is the cause of all of our problems, it's a dangerous thing to do.
00:34:36.000You're telling them that a group of people should be separated, a group of people are unclean, a group of people are responsible for all the problems going on in the country, and you have a book that shows how extremely dangerous it can be, and a book that's very touching and real.
00:34:51.000Yeah, and kids might even read that and go, wait a second, it starts by othering people?
00:34:56.000It starts by creating two classes of citizens?
00:39:26.000Yes, now, we needn't rehash the specific spot.
00:39:29.000I do apologize for the parties, the champagne, the French maid outfits, the feather dusters, the garden hose, yes, the Big Ben replicas, and the jelly balloons, the ball gags, and the marmots.
00:39:40.000I didn't even ask for the Big Ben balloon and he used it on me!
00:39:51.000Yes, yes, as I said, I've apologised for the lot of it under the umbrella of the party that did in fact include...
00:39:58.000Champagne, the gatherings, the parties, the lights, the feather duster, the French maid mishap, the garden hose with the sprinkler head, the Big Ben because in the jelly balloon, the eyes wide shut masks, and yes, the marmots.
00:40:59.000The Supreme Court, just so you know right now, we'll set it up with this.
00:41:01.000The Supreme Court actually, just last week I believe, announced that it is going to hear the cases against the race-based admissions at Harvard and the University of North Carolina.
00:41:11.000And this is something where a lot of people are upset about how Asian Americans are being treated at universities.
00:41:17.000So Harvard uses subjective measures like likeability, kindness, to keep out Asian students.
00:41:26.000So they're using sort of subjective measures to say, well, these are actually more important than, say, your scores on the standardized tests because Asian Americans actually need to score also 250 points higher on the SATs.
00:41:41.000I didn't even see that. Than blacks and Latinos on average to be admitted into these schools.
00:41:44.000Yeah. So why is this overtly racist? And I do mean racist practice allowed to continue.
00:41:53.000It still can. Why does it still exist today? It's still with the lisp.
00:41:57.000That's what's happening right here. But before I move on, what is with the weird faces on CNN?
00:42:28.000By the way, speaking of which, you can follow us on TikTok for people who still care about that Chi Com service, but they've banned us three times.
00:42:40.000I'm just gonna let you know, you know, I do the social, like, I do a lot of my, I don't do all of it, but Twitter, Instagram stuff, TikTok, I have nothing to do with, so whatever that, it wasn't me.
00:45:10.000And if you want to work hard and avoid going to university to get a gender studies degree and maybe perhaps ply yourself at a trade school, you can be assured that you'll be paying for their useless degree.
00:46:08.000John Oliver tries to take this on and then tries to—there are so many fallacies here that I'm going to have to address them one by one.
00:46:15.000So he tried to argue against this perception of Asians as the model minority.
00:46:20.000And of course they predicate this on the idea that, look, when you see white Americans saying, hey, they're not racist, for example, look at how successful Asians are and they have no problem with it.
00:46:31.000What it really is, is they're using a model minority to be racist towards, so actually they're racist towards you.
00:46:35.000So if you keep telling people that white folks are racist towards them, maybe they'll believe you, especially if you get rid of actual examples of racism, like, I don't know, the Holocaust.
00:46:42.000So he actually tried to dispel this idea of the model minority Myth, as he calls it, by using noted Asian, uh, uh, uh, uh, well, just Kamala Harris.
00:46:55.000Asian Americans can sometimes be oddly overlooked.
00:46:57.000A recent survey asked respondents to simply name a well-known Asian American, and the results were not good.
00:47:04.00042% of people said that they don't know one.
00:47:07.000The next most popular answers were Jackie Chan, who's from Hong Kong, and Bruce Lee, who died in 1973.
00:47:17.000No disrespect to Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee there, but that is embarrassing even before you consider the poll was conducted while Kamala Harris, who's Asian-American, was vice president.
00:47:26.000How do you fuck up a question that easy?
00:47:29.000Now, first off, this is a perfect example of trying to instill white guilt to begin with.
00:47:36.000Because most people are going, I guess I am racist.
00:50:30.000I should have gone to the next room, Joy Ride.
00:50:31.000All right, so this is the point that John Oliver tries to make, like, look at you.
00:50:35.000How did you not know that she was Asian American?
00:50:36.000Namely because she doesn't mention it unless it's politically convenient.
00:50:39.000I'm sure she'll probably mention it with Chinese New Year, but then it'll be erased by her talking about Black History Month because she's going to place more emphasis on that.
00:50:46.000So, this is an argument that John Oliver makes to try and make sure that, you know, you're racist.
00:50:51.000Of course, a lot of Americans who are not racist but who recognize that there are disparities between races in certain results.
00:50:57.000So, for example, academically, Asians tend to excel.
00:51:00.000Athletically, black Americans tend to excel, right?
00:51:03.000Recognizing those differences and maybe attributing some of them, for example, with Asians in admissions to culture A central premise of the model minority myth is that the key to overcoming American racism is simply strong values and hard work.
00:51:23.000With the implication being that groups that haven't succeeded simply haven't tried hard enough.
00:51:29.000As immigration law began selecting for skilled and educated Asian immigrants, the credentials of those new arrivals seemed to conform to the stereotype, which then took on a life of its own, especially in the civil rights era, as whites, unnerved by black Americans' radical challenges to the system, held up Japanese and Chinese Americans and their success as evidence that they claimed disproved systemic racism.
00:51:55.000Very basically, America prioritized wealthy, more educated Asian immigrants, then turned to black people who'd been subjugated for centuries and said, see, they're educated and successful, why aren't you?
00:52:06.000Okay, first off, if you say it with a lilt, you somehow act like it's an insane question.
00:52:12.000That's a perfectly reasonable question, actually.
00:52:16.000Also, it actually sort of flies in the face of what he says later on in discussing Asian discrimination, which occurred actually pretty recently if you look at World War II.
00:52:51.000It's actually, if we're going to talk about the single biggest determining factor in your future success, having a mom and having a dad and having them active in your life, it's not even close.
00:53:00.000When people talk about repairing the education system, when people talk about fixing our welfare, social safety net, nothing.
00:53:05.000If you did all of those things, if you spent our entire GDP on those things, on these Democrat policies, since Lyndon Johnson up until now, on all of these ideas that the left have pushed as some kind of a solution to the racial disparities in the United States, it would not have A discernible difference on outcome when compared to having two parents in the household.
00:53:28.000We're talking about, so look, according to the United States, let me get some stats, Department of Justice, children from single-parent homes make up 71% of high school dropouts, 75% of kids in drug treatment programs, 70% of state incarcerated juveniles.
00:53:40.000If you are actually from a two-parent household, you have a mom and you have a dad active in your life, and this can include step-parents as well, just to be clear, You are more likely to graduate school.
00:54:18.000A black child with a two-parent household is still better off.
00:54:23.000All of the future indicators for that child, a black child with two parents, is going to be better than a white or Asian child in a single-parent household.
00:56:46.000Asian students have 13% higher high school graduation rates than black Americans.
00:56:51.000Do you want to say that's just because of their race?
00:56:53.000Now here's the thing. Let's... spoiler alert. No. Okay.
00:56:59.000The reason that you see these numbers across the board, again, is because culturally this is very important and it's emphasized across Asian cultures.
00:57:07.000So this is also why it was possible for America to import highly skilled People from Asia, as opposed to Africans in the 50s and 60s.
00:57:16.000And by the way, I think that when we are bringing immigrants into this country, I know the left will say this is racist, but not the Holocaust, I think that we should be bringing in people who are skilled.
00:57:26.000I think we should be bringing in people, regardless of their race or where they're from, who actually improve the economic outlook for the country.
00:57:32.000I don't think you should be bringing in the lowest, the non-skilled labor to take jobs
00:58:16.000When a culture starts to value things, and it can be a group of people, it can be a country, whatever it is, then people tend to go towards that.
00:58:24.000Asians, they value hard work and sticking to a problem.
00:58:27.000They've done studies on this as well with white kids.
00:58:35.000They'll sit there and they'll work on those, because culturally they have been taught that there's benefit to doing that in the African American community.
00:58:52.000So many people have said it is a way out of what I grew up in, and so they put time and effort and energy into those things that they value.
00:58:58.000That's a good point, but they're also faster and they can jump higher.
00:59:54.000The second you say that, that means you're trying to dispel the idea of it being culturally related, which is accurate, so that you can spew more of your special brand of racism.
01:00:03.000And I do mean racism from John Oliver, just like we saw from Whoopi Goldberg.
01:00:06.000I don't think they have hate in their heart for Asian Americans, just to be clear.
01:00:27.000So when they do this, I do think that it's actually racist by what used to be the definition of racism.
01:00:31.000So this is something also that John Oliver does, and then he bitches about dividing people by racial groups.
01:00:39.000He says that we should not consider Asian Americans successful because there are certain subgroups of Asian Americans who are struggling, which is not wrong, but Okay, just watch.
01:00:48.000One of the main dangers of treating Asian Americans as a single entity is that it obscures the reality of what is happening for the different subgroups inside it.
01:00:57.000For example, about 10% of Asian Americans live in poverty, which is actually lower than the overall U.S.
01:01:04.000But when you disaggregate the data, when you break it down by subgroup, you start to see a much more complicated situation with Mongolian and Burmese Americans... No, it's not.
01:01:13.000...having a poverty rate of 25 percent, more than twice the national average.
01:01:18.000And when it comes to education, while around 75 percent of Indian Americans have a bachelor's degree well above the national average, for Bhutanese Americans, that figure is just 15 percent, which is well below it.
01:01:30.000The point is, disaggregating the data can reveal big disparities that you
01:04:57.000No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Kind of coast a little bit where these people come from other countries where they've seen horrible surroundings Yeah, and work their asses off to better themselves.
01:05:18.000So they might do a little bit better because they try a little hard They've seen is that possible?
01:05:23.000I'm just saying I'm not saying that's every case But it's very possible.
01:05:26.000Also Zach Morris did very well on his SATs Oh, well.
01:05:31.000Not like that NC Slater, but he sits on that chair backwards and my goodness does he look cool.
01:05:36.000Now, the earliest Asian American immigrants, like those from China, this is something also where John Oliver just, again, remember what he said before.
01:05:42.000Rewind this if you need to, because he was talking about how white Americans point to them because they haven't... Anyway, so the point is now he goes on to say, and I agree, they've been discriminated against actually throughout this country up until pretty recently, too.
01:05:57.000Asian immigration in that time was essentially a cycle of economic exploitation, followed by a violent and restrictive backlash.
01:06:03.000This began with Chinese immigrants who were recruited to work on the railroads in the 1860s.
01:06:09.000They faced virulent racism from the beginning, both from their bosses, who saw their lives as disposable, and from whites, many of whom saw them as unfair competition for jobs.
01:06:55.000Whether or not you're successful, living a life defined by a racist fantasy just isn't good for you.
01:07:01.000Striving to maintain the idea of a model minority has really severed my self-esteem.
01:07:07.000It really makes me feel that I'm nothing more than someone who could get good grades, someone who was supposed to be perfect and be mom about everything.
01:07:49.000I want you to read up more on this, so check the references.
01:07:52.000Suicide is the leading cause of adolescent death, he says, you know, in the United States for Asian Americans.
01:07:57.000And he, of course, ties that to this idea that the model Minority, racist, three from the United States.
01:08:03.000Basically, all of us white guys, and Asian men here, to wonder you're still alive, you made it through your teen years, and you were listening to emo!
01:08:11.000Combine Asian with My Chemical Romance, those wrists are spotless!
01:08:15.000And most of them do it with a sword if they get an A-.
01:08:36.000It's not American Asians who commit suicide.
01:08:38.000So the leading cause of adolescent death is suicide in Korea, in Japan, in China, in Singapore.
01:08:48.000So again, what you see is a hybridizing.
01:08:50.000What you see is people bring a portion of their culture here to the United States, and they bring, by the way, both the good and the bad.
01:08:56.000They bring an industriousness, they bring a value for the nuclear family, for family households, and they also bring societal pressure that leads to Abnormally high suicide rates.
01:09:07.000It's the leading cause of adolescent death in those countries.
01:09:09.000And if you look at the top countries as far as suicide rates, you always have Japan, Korea.
01:09:13.000They're always somewhere near the top, certainly as far as it relates to the industrialized world.
01:09:17.000Now, this pressure may come from the fact that there's a big honor culture.
01:09:33.000So John Oliver, if the problem is the family, your whole argument goes away.
01:09:38.000Yeah, he wants you to believe that Andrew Yang makes a math joke and then all of a sudden people are plummeting from rooftops.
01:09:43.000So, I actually even saw... I don't know if you saw this, there was a documentary Recently, a series of archaeological digs in Fenghuang, China have unearthed ancient evidence suggesting just how important otter was in these Confucian-based societies.
01:10:48.000Yeah, but when she opened it up, I mean, it really- Trick.
01:10:51.000You gotta put your tiny wrists into it.
01:10:54.000Yeah, you really do, and you're binded.
01:10:56.000And here's another clip, and this brings us to the final point where what they want to do, when you see this with the left, when you see this with John Oliver.
01:11:05.000Okay, and I'm making a generalization, but let me ask you this.
01:11:09.000Have you ever seen John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, Jimmy Kimmel, have you ever seen them do a segment, and I really do, I want you to comment, because correct me if I'm wrong, where they've said to any minority group, as we do regularly on the show, hey, you know what?
01:11:25.000Some people have had some unfair breaks, and we get it, but the good news is you can do it, and the good news is you're actually not oppressed, and it doesn't have to continue that way.
01:11:35.000You live in the freest country in the world with the most upward mobility, and you know what?
01:11:41.000Have you ever seen them say that, or have you always seen them make generalizations based on race while then bitching about people who make generalizations based on race?
01:11:48.000So, this is how he ends up closing his segment, his lesson for you, and we're going to have some actual solutions here.
01:11:53.000I think some pragmatic solutions do matter, and they're pretty easy.
01:12:07.000There is no silver lining to it, and there is no working your way out of it.
01:12:12.000You are still perpetually treated as a foreigner, still asked where you're really from, and Asian Americans always seem to be just one geopolitical crisis away from becoming the targets of violence yet again.
01:12:24.000So the model minority myth is both a tool of white supremacy and a trap.
01:13:49.000There's a Harvard applicant actually, this is a famous story if you haven't read up on it, Harrison Shen, who scored nearly a perfect SAT, graduated top of his class, and he wrote, they just lumped me into the Asian category and the data quite clearly shows that admission officers were not willing to look at us as individuals.
01:14:06.000Do you have any idea how many bamboo chips that kid had shoved up his thumbs by his mom to get a perfect SAT score?
01:14:13.000Well, look, not getting into Harvard's probably a silver lining to this thing.
01:14:40.000One of the main dangers of treating Asian Americans as a single entity is that it obscures the reality of what is happening for the different subgroups inside it.
01:14:49.000One of the dangers of treating Asian Americans as a singular minority in also telling you that there's no way out, Asian Americans, for crying out loud, this is what happens.
01:14:59.000Do you really believe that it's the right who's the party of divide and conquer?
01:15:03.000I mean, it's kind of like this, usually in a relationship, in a romantic relationship, okay?
01:15:08.000You end up, someone is either explosive, someone is either, you know, gets mad, or someone is incredibly manipulative.
01:15:13.000Someone who gets mad is not really all that clever.
01:15:16.000They can't control their emotions, so they're not capable of being manipulative.
01:15:22.000When they say Republicans, Conservatives, look they were the party of slavery, they were the party of the KKK, all of which is incorrect, well then they wouldn't really be able to tactfully find new ways of racism like not admitting Asians into Harvard and Brown.
01:15:43.000They're saying that black people, in this specific case, he's targeting black people and saying that they need to be able to have a leg up.
01:15:50.000They need affirmative action to be able to get into these universities, even though they don't match on the scores, potentially, right?
01:15:56.000And that's okay and that's acceptable.
01:15:58.000But if you just say, look, I want to get rid of male, female, and race on any of these applications, they would say, no, no, no, no, no, that's racist because you'll just end up with a bunch of Asian people and maybe some white guys in there as well.
01:16:24.000The same as you would look at a dynamite athlete who may not have the best grades that would be perfect for your basketball team or your football team.
01:18:25.000But you are from a horrible neighborhood, you do pretty good in school, you do have decent grades, your SATs aren't necessarily insanely high, but they are very good.
01:18:33.000Do you think there should be some sort of... No.
01:19:15.000He was in a very, very bad area, and he turned his life around.
01:19:18.000And people want to say that it's a racist idea to say, look, anyone needs to eventually take responsibility for their own actions and try and do well.
01:20:23.000Okay, are we going to say that, like you talked about, we're going to say that being more lenient on admissions is going to help?
01:20:27.000Well, no, because then we see the highest dropout rates for black Americans who get through affirmative action, you know, basically they're used to meet certain racial quotas, and then they end up falling behind, and then that ends up having a worse economic outlook.
01:20:38.000They end up with a worse economic outlook.
01:20:52.000Let's have some criteria for immigrants who come to this country because we want immigrants who come to this country to actually have the best chance possible to be successful and their children to flourish.
01:21:05.000If you believe that taxation, if you believe that economic policy, particularly fiscal policy as it relates to taxation, is a good Manipulator of behavior, this is what the left believes, this is why they want to tax cigarettes, this is why they want to tax big gulps for crying out loud, this is why they want to tax gasoline more, this is why they want a carbon tax.
01:21:22.000Then you would have to acknowledge that the inverse is true.
01:21:25.000Let's continue to provide some economic incentives to reward people who create and foster a two-parent household in a nuclear family, as opposed to trying to destroy it like Black Lives Matter.
01:21:35.000Ooh, again, people you align yourselves with.
01:21:37.000And let's also have some, you know what, not have some laws, let's eliminate all laws on the books that exist right now.
01:21:45.000To incentivize, in any way, shape, or form, single-parent households.
01:21:48.000So that means the welfare laws, that means the EBT laws, that means the laws that created a baby mama, that means laws that say, oh, you know what?
01:21:53.000You get two welfare checks if you're not officially married, but if you're a couple, you only get one.
01:21:56.000Let's get rid of—so it's that simple.
01:21:58.000National language, let's incentivize two-parent households, and not only that, culturally, let's try and start celebrating it a little bit, and let's get rid of all laws that exist on the books that could even possibly Incentivize the opposite.
01:22:11.000You start with that, that's going to do a whole lot more than doubling the per-pupil spending or doubling the amount of black Americans who are accepted into Harvard, which means that you will get half the amount of qualified Asians who are accepted into Harvard, regardless of how much money you throw at it.
