the one at the chinese restaurant

how is it that - even in the year 2021 with today's hyper-politically-correct social climate - it is still seemingly perfectly a-okay to shit on asians


It's 2021 and we have Oscar Bait movies like Licorice Pizza that literally have a Breakfast at Tiffany's esque scene involving asians.

Nothing shocks me anymore.

Why cut scenes? Recognize them for what they are. Erasing the past is the wrong way to handle things.

Lol of course you would say something so incredibly inaccurate.

The "cancel culture doesn't exist" crowd needs to go have a drink with the anti vaxxer crowd and the "Trump won" crowd and you can all bond over your many similarities and ignore the small differences between you too.

Just a bunch of garbage bad faith political beliefs.

But the Chinese restaurant scene really isn't that bad. People who speak certain languages have issues pronouncing certain sounds in other languages. There are TONs of foreign words/sounds I cannot pronounce very well.

The L/R confusion is a Japanese lingual problem - not a Chinese one.

If there's one thing from A Christmas Story to be annoyed about, it's that Flash Gordon and Ming the Merciless had their scene cut. Come on, I want to know what happened.

Is that really only a Japanese issue? I always thought it was Asians in general. Like pronouncing the rolling Rs in Spanish is something most white people have trouble with, not specific ethnicities.

Japan only has the one sound (the one that's inbetween). Korean has both that inbetween sound, and the "L" sound like in English (or at least very very close, to the point that it'd be clearly an "L" sound to both parties), so their R's might sound weird but they'd be clearly differentiated from their L's. Chinese, or at least Mandarin, has all three and so speakers of it should have no difficulty with this. I can't speak to any other Chinese dialects or other Asian languages.

Basically, yeah. Different languages can have different hurdles, African tongue-clicking being probably the most extreme when compared to what you might be used to, but by and large "L" versus "R" really isn't a common one and it's only because of the prevalence of anime/Japanese in the gaming community that such a confusion happens now. So the scene is basically double-dipping on racism.
