Special thanks to our interviewees for sharing their perspectives on the importance of diversity in the media landscape. Our Asian Boss team is itself quite diverse, and we’ve always wanted Asian Boss to be a platform that truly gives a voice to everyone. So expect to see a lot more appearances from people with diverse cultural backgrounds in our content. Like we’ve always said, anyone can be an Asian Boss.
Asian Boss, I’d be interested to hear you guys and gals do one about the USA carrier visit to Vietnam. Given that it’s he first visit since the 70s and the current geopolitical situation with China I would be interested to here what the Vietnamese thought.
why are you race baiting?
Also you do realize that they dubbed the Korean when they spoke it in the korean version? the regular version, koreans from busan said they had no fucking idea what the people were even saying
Please say Nationalities an not Minorities. They are of different nations are not a color to be marked as small portions.
Can you all do a Asia wide interview on why Asians fear blacks and not whites due to history we were never at war with white people we were stolen from our own land forced into slavery and killed isn't the view point to look down on Africans or Pan Africans make you understand and agree with the oppressor??
I find it so funny that some Koreans have this bad perception of Black people yet their K-Pop culture is all inspired by Black music/musicians.
Giselle Valdez yeah not to mention hip hop culture, dress and sports
Exactly
yeah I was thinking the same thing!!!
Jimmy N u t 😅and Columbus discovered AmeriKKKa 😂
Fuqqn China juss band HIP HOP & R&B.....too much of an influence on that YOUTH
That one guy brings up a really interesting point on how Koreans can't relate with the film too much but as a Korean American, despite the film being about black people, I felt like I could relate to it very much. And perhaps that's the difference between us. Koreans live in a largely homogeneous society where they are the main heroes, the main characters, but POC who live in America have always been the disenfranchised. In fact, due to the severe lack of Asian representation, from a very young age I was instantly trained to idolize black superheroes more. My favorite superheroes growing up was John Stewart and Luke Cage.
It's really interesting to see a non-American, especially a Korean's perspective on this. And at the same time it's really interesting to see him being up to date on the Academy Awards controversy, and the "white washing" issues. So even though he couldn't relate to the film, the fact that this guy is still aware, means a great deal.
Form of Therapy Love your comment! 😊
lots of white people didn't like the movie because of the amount of blackness lol strange and shocking how they kicked it in other you tube review channels .
Eh....
Form of Therapy but even south Koreans have being discriminated against, so when thay guy says as a south Koreans he can't relate to human rights stuff, that is stupid. All humans can relate to human rights, human rights is not for black people only. Its for all
Zawadi Shop But South Korea is one of the richest and most developed countries in the world. So they have little to complain about in the modern day. Apart from potential war with North Korea.
That one guy with the guitar on his back was woke af 👏👏.
Little Light I see u wid the ghost.. guardian I had to come show you some love boo
Ami- lee ❤
Little Light what does woke mean?
Woke its a way of saying he is Awake, or that he understand things
Little Light True that .
As a Black person currently living in Korea, that was very interesting to hear what was said about Koreans perception of us. I've been that person on the subway who no one wanted to sit next to. I've gotten the stares. If I understood the Korean language I'm sure I would have heard some nasty things said about me from time to time. Being Black is a daily struggle. I get very emotional when it comes to issues of Black people and how we are so negatively perceived worldwide. I am not particularly a fan of superhero films but I was very proud of the portrayal of Black people that Black Panther provided. RIP Chadwick Boseman.
As a Korean I'm sorry. ..
Love from Korea and stay safe from covid 19. Hope you experince good things in Korea..
Hello, I just wanted to know what do you do in Korea. I really want to move there in the future. Do you have a teaching certification?
Thats not because youre black thats because youre not korean
I live in germany as a half german with brown skin do you guys think youre special because of thinks like that ?
come down guys !!!
If youre white in thailand thy will be racist to !!!
@@tattootony3918 She wasn’t thinking that we’re special. She’s stating something that happened to her, something that is none of your business. Come to America and you’ll see things way worse than what she’s saying happen to black people. We get beaten and shot by cops. Little black kids getting bullied my little white kids, and no this isn’t their fault, but the parents fault for teaching the kids that we’re less than them. You truly know nothing about what has happened to us, and what is happening to us. I hope the Lord helps you fix your crooked mind. God bless you, and have a great day.❤️
@@tattootony3918 it is very much because we are black if a white person or a non black person sits down in an Asian country of a subway then people would have no problem sitting next to them, it quite odvious that Asian people of every ethnic group are anti-black and the most racist amongst all races to black People. For what we don’t know and don’t care to know we don’t even have interactions with you all and y’all constantly culture appropriate our culture and even go to the extremes to blackfish, no race is more racist to black people than Asians and it very much shows! So don’t think that just because a foreigner that goes to an Asian country will be treated the same as a black person in an Asian country because y’all hav ethos weird obsession with white skin. If you all choose to be racist then that’s not our problem but a lot of y’all also try to be us 🤨it’s quite ridiculous!
Asian Boss, the Black Panther movie actually sparked a discussion on colorism in the Philippines. Recently, a Philippine TV show was the subject of controversy for having mixed actors play the role of native Filipinos. Locals argued that if Marvel could effectively cast Black people for Black Panther, why should a show about pre-colonial Philippines have lighter skinned actors? It’s very interesting. The response to Black Panther is overwhelmingly positive & it’s bringing these kinds of discussions to the forefront ❤️❤️❤️ There’s definitely a lot more love for darker skin now. Much love ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is freaking awesome!
Wow, that’s so great. I’m glad the movie had that kind of impact.
Sheree Tampus lit
ughhh i know this issue huhu philippine media disappoints me each passing day
Sheree Tampus I'm so glad to hear that !! It's a Shame that the original inhabitants of places who consists of melanin people should have lighten , brighten or even cast those people as a representation of it's population. It causes a mental sickness or distortion for those who have darker skin .
To all the Asian ppl that don't think an Asian superhero won't work, the first real superhero in real life was Bruce Lee. It can work, it always has. He's still a legend all over the world.
Yes. Bruce lee is freaking amazing.
Yet there are still people who didnt like him. Aiming for complete equality is foolish and niave. Most black people I know personally and from media constantly throw the race card.
Bruce is passed, and we need a new character!
Bryne That is very true. Black panther was not only a massive staple for the black community, but it encourages all (american) minorities to get roles they couldn't before.
That's an anime, we're talking about movies....And dont you dare bring up Dragonball Evolution.
So they learn that black were slaves. Okay, then if you learned that in your history why would you think bad of the people in the bad position instead of the ones who did it to us ? LMAO. Dawg that was mad awkward. ALL LOVE KOREA all the way from NYC
Ralph Jean I found that logic strange 🤔
yeah that shit is kinda wierd, and i still find it funny how our origin is hidden even in other coutries.
THANK YOU!!
Who's logic theirs or mine? Cuz If I heard how bad someone was treated why would I hate them and open my arms to those who did it knowing they didnt do nothing to deserve what they went through!! Duh.
I think he worded that wrong. But I get what he was trying to say. Essentially they probably haven’t learnt much about black history and the black struggle in the US and western world in general. Probably just surface level stuff. In history they probably focus on Asian history like how in this part of the world we focus on our own history. Also, the scope of what they are exposed to is very limited. They mostly see Asian representation. And if they are exposed to anything outside that it’s white since that’s the dominant media narrative. This actually really opened my eyes to how powerful the media is. Given that blacks are always stereotyped in Hollywood and those images are sent out, it wouldn’t be weird for people with a limited exposure to minorities to form negative views of a said minority. Yes they can search it up, but most people won’t search up things that aren’t a problem or concern to them. That’s just my two cents and some things I’ve noticed living abroad.
i lowk laughed when they said "the era of discrimination is over" damn they really are closed off from the world huh 💀
Western people are even more closed off from the world. Y’all just don’t realize 😂😂
@@utimateamvs1873 Why do you say that? The "western world" has the most diversity. So, hiw is it more closed off?
I cackled-
Yep, yep, double yep yep! Lol
@@utimateamvs1873 bruh I don't know who you talk to, but me and family talk about trash conditions other people face all the time. Like the deforestation and killing of natives in Chile, people in concentration camps in China while Disney makes a movie there, or how hard children have it in various countries were wealth gives you an ungodly advantage in education. Perhaps you should diversify your sources?
It kind of sucked when the guy said an Asian superhero is a bit out of reach. I’m not Asian but it’s sad he even feels that way.
As cheesy as it sounds everyone should be able to imagine greatness in their image.
LaReyna DeBachata
I truly hope Black Panther opens doors for superheroes of different minorities. Seeing myself on screen was such a wholesome feeling. Everyone deserves that. I hope that man is wrong and we get an Asian superhero.That would put a smile on my face.
Ellatheamerican Why? They have their ow stories. They could care less if marvel made an Asian hero since there are millions of Asian heros with Asian comics (Japanes Manga, for example). I rather Blacks actually had their own similar industry to the Japanese' rather than more lame black superheroes.
Ellatheamerican😍 indeed
They got their own media and entertainment industry. It's more so he finds it weird, it's not because he thinks it has to do with Hollywood & their racism or some shit. You shouldn't feel too bad. Asian Americans are the ones with nothing, and of course the ones that actually want a Asian superhero movie.
LaReyna DeBachata what you said is so beautiful; definitely not cheesy
This made me realize there isn't a big Asian superhero yet. Black Panther was aesthetically refreshing and it's setting is creative and unique. An east Asian setting would be so cool, I hope Disney sees the potential.
I can only recall two fully "east asian" movies (not animation) made by hollywood in the past decades-the last emperor and memoirs of a geisha, based in china and japan respectively. Seem to the west, what we got are only history and distinct oriental culture. The coming up Mulan by disney would be a global hit with no doubt lol
I would kill to see a Mulan live action
They already making that. It's the next film, however I think they're going to ruin it.
I say make Namor Asian.
Kevin Jones well there was a comic with an Asian superman, so maybe one day
"I think the era of discrimination is over" awe...he's so young and naive 💙
He’s got a lot to learn ❤️
Right. He tried it tho..☺
@K Y we can do much better
@K Y muslims are still being killed in chinese concentrationc amps as we speak
Indeed. Time to get red pilled.
"I always thought white people were better looking than black people."
Me: Please...just stop...just...stop...right..now...ohhhh my godd~~~~
Like BAMs haven't said the same. Especially the ones who were shocked that there are beautiful black women in Africa. Will Smith and some others come to mind.
I am Korean.. I almost vomit watching that. So many are just uneducated and ignorant in this country...
S MN Don’t worry it will improve mixed race between white and black exist too
S MN thank you for understanding.
Btw I am not black. I am half white and half Mexican.
it’s because our perception of beauty is heavily influenced by european standards. so as much as any non european wants to try to become “beautiful” in this sense, it would require them to change their features. this being said, black people are beautiful and so are other races
I think when Mulan comes out with an all asian cast, it will probably have great effect too!
Aida maybe..i'm not sure.
Aida problem will be, it probably won’t have an all Asian cast. Black Panther is a massive character, so Marvel had to have a black cast, but watch them mess up Mulan, because it’s just a Disney move for kids, and put Matt Damon in it or something.
Amna Ajaib its already confirmed to be a mulan movie in the making with Liu Yifei as the lead. Disney said there would be an all asian cast.
IT WILL!! I WANT EVERYONE WHO HYPED UP BLACK PANTHER TO EQUALLY HYPE UP MULAN! I am for this!!
Honestly Mulan and Aladdin have great potential
My man who started naming all the Korean marvel characters is a real fan of marvel.
Deadass. He was a breath of fresh of fresh air. Marvel has a wide range of characters with varying backgrounds.
Amadeus Cho could appear ;)
This video is actually what I'd predicted. Anyone other than black people probably will not relate to the movie Black Panther and say "it's not their cup of tea." I also found it interesting that they were talking about the old lady speaking Korean and how they should have gotten someone who speaks proper Korean, this is actually how we feel when we watch K-dramas and/or Korean movies and they pick a Russian or someone who clearly doesn't speak proper English to speak English. Also, when the guy said I think "era of discrimination is over" I was caught off guard because that is the most untrue statement of the year! In the video, other Koreans clearly state that there was some racism and discrimination towards blacks. Remember when they said some Koreans does not sit next to a black people on public transportation and there's the calling of black people "black brother," which the lady clearly said was racist. In addition, it's very sad that it took a movie for people to start changing their perceptions of black people and to realize that black people are beautiful too. Black people are more than just slaves. We are Kings and Queens, survivors, leaders, trendsetters, go-getters, and so much more.
P.S: To those of you who says that black people continues to play the victim, this comment is for you. Black people DO NOT play victim, it is not a role we would like to play. We as black people face discrimination, racism, and colorism every day. No matter where we go there are people out there who hates us simply because of the color of our skin. It's actually hard for some blacks to be black and just because you clearly do not understand what we go through does not mean you can say we play victims.
Nessa0482000 As a Korean myself, I’ve also faced discrimination for the ways my eyes look. I’ve been made fun of by whites, Latinos, as well as blacks. Looking at Black Panther as unbiased as I can, I thought it was okay. The point of a movie is to entertain you, not to relate to you.
2,043,679 views One of the points of my post is to say that discrimination is not over, I never said Koreans and/or other ethnic groups doesn't experience discrimination. To be honest, for each race/ethnic group there will be some type of discrimination. Also the point of the movie for you was to entertain you, the point of the movie for me and some other people is much more than that. Again, another point I was trying to make. I do respect that you were respectful with your difference of opinion.
black brother/sister is to get closer to someone a term of endearment
I'm white but I actually care a lot about black people being represented, I care way more than like 99% of white people honestly. I don't beleive in "race" it's all a lie but not enough people do their research. I'm literally the only white girl I know who is genuinely concerned about how dark skin tones are seen as ugly or undesireable in most of the world, like even in Africa they do skin bleaching. Hollywood doesn't like to cast dark skinned black women, just the lighter ones. I notice this stuff and genuinely care, so I'm not one of those people who is like "it's not my cup of tea" just because discrimination isn't their problem.
Nessa0482000 👏👏👏👏👏
well u don’t have to relate to something in order to understand and appreciate it’s impact on other people lol
Johnny To well said, and you also don’t have to relate to Black Panther to enjoy it.
Period.
yup that was stupid
I love that the guys with the guitar said that black panther made him "think deeper about black people's rights" 🤣
Sounds like he's really thinking about it:"Hmm, shouldn't have black people have the same rights as other people have?!" FIN
LoL He should not think about it, but agree on it and don't stereotype black people ^^
East Korea Every race has equal rights by law in America, that doesn't mean discrimination isn't still a thing in the states.
East Korea, A lot of black people in the US are often denied their right to due process. There is a prison in NYC called Rikers where a lot of young black men are detained before it's even been proven that they are even guilty of the crime they've been accused of. The detainment of a black teenager named Kalief Browder made this case especially egregious when he was placed in solitary for over a year and a documentary was created about him after he committed suicide. A lot of black people are denied the right to a job just because their name sounds stereotypically black and racist employers don't want to hire black people. There's been little to no justice for unarmed black people who are killed by the police (which started the Black Lives Matter movement). A lot of innocent black people are imprisoned and placed on death row and often, they are not exonerated. Black children are often denied the right to be charged as or seen as minors when they are charged for crimes because white people often believe that black children are never innocent and black children are still being given life sentences without parole or rehabilitation (though this was deemed unconstitutional) for the same crimes committed by white children who often serve little to no time at all. A lot of black people are denied the right to walk around a white neighborhood without being harassed or arrested by its residents or the cops just for being there. Black people are often denied housing by racist real estate owners (like Donald Trump). Little black girls are often denied the right to wear their natural hair in schools and prompted by white people to straighten it or wear it however their white teachers are comfortable with. Black people are arrested/convicted at a much higher rate for the same crimes that white people commit. There's still a lot more that I can list but these are all off the top of my head.
East Korea not being protected when shot by cops and they spend no prison sentence is a major one.
East Korea, I’m going to direct you to a movie called 13. Start there
I loved Black Panther. It was refreshing to see an almost all black cast. I’m Korean American and it’s so rare to see a superhero movie that stars a POC lead and I felt like it shed a bit of light on the oppression/racism that happens to black people around the world. Wakanda and it’s culture was so greatly imagined. I saw a little black boy at the theater and he was just in awe afterwards. I hope to see an Asian superhero one day and see Asian kids in America also have that look of awe.
Its just a dumb comic book fantasy movie, Africa is a mega shithole
Greg White true in some parts thanks to greg whites ancestors, but be real. Without your kind there it's the most beautiful place on earth. Or are you too miseducated to know?
Greg White are you serious 😂😂😂your comment is so dumb and ignorant. ..I am sure you never travel in Africa this continent have the most richest of different things example diamond gold ..petrol ect. And most importantly the wonderful people's ..the list is too long to enumerated. ..and before you talk have some knowledge.
Why not show him Asian heroes now. I partially get that an American wants to see an American hero. But ignoring other countries is weird. Especially when black panther isn't american in story
Cj Jr but africa was a shit hole before colonist came and didnt africa ancestors had gave a hand to gregs too
That person that said that they thought white people were better looking than Black people is why movies and media are NOT just "movies". It took a movie where Black people aren't reduced to stereotypes and are just being their great selves to make people realize that yes, we have been and always will be just as good looking as anyone else.
Also, I find it interesting how certain questions and requests are asked after Black people have success in something. It seems like every time a Black person (or people) get a little bit of recognition, everyone else wants to basically be like "what about us?" I hope you all wanted an Asian hero before BP came out, and aren't just saying that now after the success of the movie 😒. You all should have been asking these questions long before Black Panther. Non-Black people of color have an elitist attitude towards Black people and I'm sick of it.
TheDell01 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Enoch Annor how did you come from a movie to sexual 'preferences' lol? (rhetorical question)
You're mixing two very different concepts here. I'm black, I can see a white man/woman as beautiful. I, for instance think Chris Hemsworth is one of the most handsome men I have ever seen. Still my sexual preferences have always and will probably always be for black men... They're is nothing wrong with having preferences. The problem is when you see an entire race as ugly and unattractive. When black people (men mostly) are brainwashed into thinking anything other than their own race is better, something's very wrong
+gbin centpourcent don't even bother responding to the troll. You broke everything down perfectly but he just chooses to bask in his privilege. Typical lighter skinned behavior trying to hide their racism behind "preference". You shouldn't even believe them, they do find Black people attractive they just don't want to admit to that truth for some reason (racism and colorism) 😂
😂 Yes of course you're Black... Everybody believes you.Just get a grip on colorism, and get lost light-skinned boy (whatever race you are)
:( no. The era of discrimination is not over :(
Elie Sainfils that's what I was thinking when he said that. It's definitely not over is he not aware that racism still exist?
Well he did look very young.
Elie Sainfils It is far from over, but, we have to appreciate that this movie is a small contribution to other races looking at the Black Americans in a different light than what is routinely shown.
Elie Sainfils we're all taught to hate each other for no reason....maybe one day discrimination will go to hell and never come back 😘
It’s not but we are closer to no discrimination,i think movies like these have a huge a impact
What other races may not realize is that black people fighting for rights also opens doors for them. We are all minorities and the sooner we learn to respect each other, the sooner we can work together to end discrimination. Black Panther set the precedent for non-white movie leads, which puts other minorities in the discussion for major roles. Any success for any minority is a success for all.
Edit: apparently, I need to add the disclaimer that this applies to America and the American film industry. I am not speaking for other countries.
lol shut up. us koreans dont need to bitch 24/7 and call everyone a racist to get what we want.
100% agree. Sadly, many People of Color buy into the toxic white hierarchical fantasy, and they "punch downward"; putting down other non-whites to make themselves feel better.
All Asians, Indians, Africans, Arabs, Latinos, etc., need to support each other, and police the uncle tommery of their own coethnics. It's absolutely pathetic seeing a Korean feel superior to a Mexican, or a Black american making jokes at a Chinese person's expense.
Exactly those idiots don't get that little dummy dummies
Additionally, POC should punch upwards; making jokes and microaggressions at whites' expense, whenever possible, and where the ethnic composition of the gathering allows it.
That is how you enforce social dominance.
Jesse Park bitch you were bitching when that officer shot that blak guy and was going to prison you do know that if our bitching selves stop putting money on your people bussiness your people will fail yall litterally follow everything we do sweetheart get your own culture okay
That guy with the Guitar was woke af
stop fucking saying woke
"black ppl are humans"
YASSSSS GUURRLLL SOOO WOKE AF DIVERSITY! REPRESENTATION! BLACK POWER!!!! BLM BLM BLM
East Korea huh?
He was clever
Statistics say otherwise.
well we black ppl liked it a lot and that's all that matters....
Jo Lasria *EXACTLY* 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
RIGHT
FAXXX👏👏👏
Yeah
Jo Lasria yup😆👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I find it interesting that the white teenager stated that Lupita spoke HORRIBLE Korean. While everybody else spoke on the old Korean women (My Koreans friends said the same thing). For an actor or an actress to take the time to study the language and incorporate in the movie is really big. Lupita has respect and love for Korean culture. Her comments about her performance were really ignorant as hell. At least she tried
RNRENTPROMO I think she didn't mean that Lupita's pronunciation was bad because I laughed at the scene too, because she was saying in Busan's regional accent(which shows that Lupita tried a lot for the scene) and that was so unexpected, not because of her incorporate pronunciation. I loved that scene because we Koreans know that English speakers could not learn Korean easily and speak that accurately, even with the regional accent, but Lupita did it, and it was kind of touching thing to me that the actress and Marvel think Korea as 'not just a small country'. So I think the interviewee thought just like me and laughed, because Lupita's korean and her accent was unexpected.
Side note, he wasn't white, he was just as Korean as the next kid.
@@illustryfe5354 The kid has more European features than Korean.
@@RNRENTPROMO I think he was mixed
They should've casted someone who spoke Korean properly because there are tons and tons and tons of old Korean actresses in the LA acting community alone. Why didn't they cast them? It was immediately insulting to me when I watched the movie because of THAT. It's not a matter of whether or not the actress respects Korean culture, it's about misrepresenting Koreans and saying "no one will notice"..... Yeah except all Koreans. Are we not humans or something?
I'm glad it's improved Koreans view of black people. Just shows how powerful media can be. Love it!!
Yeah, Koreans are getting ZOG'd
"shows how powerful media can be"
like that's a fucking good thing...
+East Korea Its not, thats why they were brainwashed in the first place
Have you hear of the quote, "He who controls the media controls the mind of the masses"? This is why many other groups have bad images of black people and especially African Americans. Media being powerful is only good if it paints us in a positive and truthful light.
DivineAce
It’s so sad that some people form their views of a group of people based of of media 🤦🏾♀️
So koreans can understand the importance of representation in films even though their country is mostly homogenous. Yet some Americans think it's pandering. Smh.
What Americans? can you be more specific and provide some evidence.
i'm korean and it's pandering.
i am also korean and its straight up pandering. please keep your virtue signaling, multicultural bullshit in the west. thanks.
Jesse Park liberals whine for multiculturalism but they cry “cultural appropriation” when cultures are shared
They don't think its pandering because they aren't white. Why would they whine about someone white not being the lead role in every single movie ever when its not their race either way?
P.S. Neither of you turbovirgins are Korean.
"the movie wasn't as funny as i wanted it to be."
did u expect a comedy?
Vidonator I mean to be fair marvel movies for the most part have comedy in them
They thought it was rush hour 😂😂
Sound like they worried about if there’s gonna be a Korean super hero!!!
@@Dropkickurteacher true actualy
They tried to be funny too. Most mcu movies do? Some like guardians and ragnarok are straight up comedies lol
It's quite interesting to hear the thoughts of people around the world. As a POC born and raised in Western Society, seeing minorities being represented in mainstream media, with respect and integrity means so much. I know for a lot of people Black Panther isn't really that special. But for me and so many others, where our culture, background and heritages are often stereotyped and mocked for pure comedic purpose, Black Panther is really special, and hit me hard watching it.
kuro born and raised. I think that's important because there's a distinction between that and an immigrant and that and someone from a country. Regardless of skin color.
kuro definitely don't see myself as a pog ha
I noticed that people that love marvel movies were disappointed it wasn’t like other marvel films, and people that don’t like superhero films loved this one for being different lol
Brenden Johnson me. I am not a fan of Marvel movies but I've seemed to watch them all because of my boyfriend, and I actually kinda enjoyed black panther. It was also nice because I'm from South Africa and they spoke isiXhosa and while I dont understand it I could hear them speaking it and they played some south African songs and even a south African actor was in there. So maybe because there were lots of South African Easter eggs I enjoyed it 😂😂😂
I don’t understand how marvel fans wouldn’t like this movie. I’m a HUGE marvel fan and I remember watching the animated black panther movie so I was super excited for the movie.
Cause theh expected to see white and the cast was ⚫ black.
@@Israelb7616 Well they should have known because they obviously saw the trailer why wasn't it called white panther. Overall for me it was nice since I'm from Kenya and so is Lupita
The girl who said Chadwick Boseman was her type...I can relate, he's my type too :-)
Greg White who cares if Koreans hate or love blacks it doesn’t add or take anything away from us.
Greg White Are you the whole country to talk for everyone like that?
Those 2 girls were really cute
Greg White they still lust after the black man secretly.
Like the guys were saying a lot of what they know of blacks comes from mainstream movies and media. Another even said he realized how beautiful black women are. This is why having black people play positive roles is good for the overall community and for others perception of us.
For the lady that said black panther was more "sci-fi" all marvel movies are sci-fi examples below ⬇⬇
• Captain America is only captain America because he was a science experiment and it gave his super human abilities
• Iron man is all about science his suit all science
• Hulk science experiment that went wrong 🤷🏽♀
• Spiderman science fiction - gets bit by a radioactive spider ---> gets spider abilities
• The guardians of the Galaxy... Do I actually have to explain...? They live in space on planets and blah blah blah...
• Thor... He's more mythological... But that has do with theology and a lot of theology has to do with Science..
• Bucky Barnes... Same thing as captain America basically
• war machine his suit = science
• Falcon his suit = science
• And don't even get me started on the bad guys 🤦🏽♀🤦🏽♀
Trap.Editts exactly
yeah but the other Marvel films (bar Thor and Guardians) are 'harder' sci-fi then Black Panther (esp. bc the premise and setting of Wakanda makes it seem slightly mythical even though its meant to be scientifically advanced). Soft Sci-fi doesn't do well in Korea at all, both Thor and GotG both didn't do as well in Korea compared to other major Marvel films.
Nah Black Panther was more so. Literally the entire country seems like something out of a Sci-fi novel
PLEASE DON'T THINK THIS GUYS ARE REPRESENTING ALL THE KOREANS
I dont think their opinions were to bad though. It was interesting to see what they thought
Tbh i think their view as good. Most positive comments. Of how the movie was and how it was viewed in Korea. Seemed people loved it.

Shout out to the woke people in Korea who understand the Black Panther flim on a deeper level. 💯✨
The Eclectic One what is woke... its called concious or being aware....
djanel_goldenmoon same thing☺
The movie ain't that deep.
Deeper level? It's just an superhero movie, not any kind of philosophy or something. I guess, that's what it means when some people were saying that this movie was overhyped.

Guys, as a korean I'm sorry for little racism in this video. Unlike USA, there is no various races in korea. Almost every people is korean in korea, so there is always a few idiot racists. The only way to see foriegner(in detail) is watching a video or youtube. So there can be lots of misunderstanding. As a person who felt discriminated by my race, I hope there is no racisism in this world. Thank you for reading my poor english comment😊
엄대현 but it seems as though Korean think of European foreigners as better, so not having various races is not the problem
Portia Choi i was trying to say about misunderstanding with races. Sorry if you don't get that
No problem. And your ENGLISH was fine.
@@portiachoi3940 Well how many non-white people do you get to see in Western media??
@@portiachoi3940 That stems from the Western media that has great influence in Korea. Korea had great political and economic ties with the US and it would be foolish to say that the US did not play a significant role with Korea's modernization. Whatever the native Koreans see outside their country is from the lens of the western media.
Just watched the movie yesterday and I loved it. Great story line and the fight scenes are awesome! I'm not a cryer but my heart strings were pulled on both scenes when both characters were holding their papa. 😢😢😢
Leann's Adventures I haven’t been able to see it yet as I’m recovering from a rib and head surgery, but didn’t the Papa die in Civil War, or is this set before Civil War? I probably shouldn’t ask because there’d be spoilers, but I’m hoping to see the movie this week or early next week
Amna Ajaib yes and it’s set after Civil War.
whats the story about?
+Amelia Lee watch the film
I loved the fighting scenes also. I also liked the part where the girls car break from underneath her that was so funny.
Them talking about the older Korean woman's Korean is the same way I talk about foreigners in Korean dramas that speak English. lol
This User Likes Kpop omg yes i agree
Right! Like where the he'll these people cone from?! 😂

YESS, the “foreigners” English always sounds wack

This was an ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC VIDEO!!! Boy did you guys knock it out of the park with this one!
The Wakanda Wave has hit Asia, ladies and gentlemen.
Zhello Not really
You mean Mud-slide.
Zhello LOL, heck no. It's just another crappy marvel movie.
Hyun Kwon well it is true. The Black Panther movie has been hyped up before and after its release. Heck, I watched it once, but when others came out the theater they were acting like fools. CZcams is also a prime example of the hype still going with people naking challenges and shouting Wakanda at the top of their lungs.
Well it's on course to do $1 billion with it's run in China being key so it's fair to say the wave has arrived - and the hype is justified given that people are paying to watch it, sometimes more than once.
So epic hitting the streets with Asian Boss ! Video turned out amazing
I'm a Korean. What? Black Panther is so popular in Korea? Nope. That's a lie. FAKE.
Trust me, seriously nobody in Korea give a shit about Black lives matter, Black Panther etc.
Box office? Because No other movie was on air during February. Every Korean was only into PyeongChang Winter Olympic.
Asian boss is a sick people group to promote american liberal propaganda to worldwide.
+SuperAceguy ever heard of smoking weed?
SuperAceguy You aren't korean, only an american is dumb enough to use youtube while high.

where are black panthers mostly found is not all?.?. Umm In Asia I think. Yes in ASIA. And there's is also a lot of indigenous people still around there. Or some Asian have that panther looking face too mostly korean.

This was depressing to watch. Black people in the diaspora are beautiful, wonderful, and talented and yet all of these negative perceptions are still so strong.
clevawoman yeah. They are being deprived of black culture. It's not really their fault they don't kno
Clevawoman Exactly. I cannot even fathom how many times my fingers clicked both the like & dislike button back and forth during the video. It's sad in 2018 some Koreans are still ignorant af when it comes to Black culture.
Do you constantly watch superhero movies from another country in another language featuring other races?
Koa Jinja they live and perceive a different culture
yea, many of us do. and we watch their dramas and cartoons and tv shows. its 2018 not 1995
That one guy, he never saw any attractive black women until this movie, how?
Like you never seen lady bey???????????? lmfao
Let's not kid ourselves for political correctness bullshit here, there really aren't that many attractive Black women. Maybe 3 or 4 in the whole world.
NOCTO that's racist
walk around Seoul and you'll see why he said that
Jesse Park ?
No one talked about villain killmonger (Michael B Jordan). I fell in love after watching the movie 😍
I heard that M'Baku was the popular one. :D
He's not attractive for Asian women. Asian women prefer white men more
nimmi chakma me too! Until i saw the bumps 😬
@Deku The Hero
Thats because its a majority.There are bars in Korea that ban black people.There are commercial in Korea that says black skin are dirty
nimmi chakma I loved his theme song
Much respect, at least they were honest...
Lol the irony of them creating such a diverse cast but couldn’t find a properly speaking Korean lady to play a Native Korean character lmfao
Doodle Obv Lololol, for payroll reasons they needed all actors to be legally able to work in the US, but im sure they could have found a Korean - American who could soak properly
Fhalei it just gets me that all the actors probably spent months perfecting their wakandan accents lol and this lady comes along haha
I was wondering about that too, literally when the Korean lady was speaking, I was like wtf am I hearing, like is this Chinese? lmao
Doodle Obv I don't speak Korean but I did notice the old lady was awkward.
Doodle Obv I bet they correct this in the next Black Panther
who want a black panther 2?
tidiane they'll probably do a franchise with three movies like the other heroes.
Well, It already has been confirmed
This lady said it felt more like a sci-fi lmao. Yo do she think 🤔 marvel movies are not science-fiction but black panther black smfh what a hater.
All marvel movies are based on sci-fi with a lot of real facts
Stacy Lee how is she hating wtf
America and iron man are based in US. bp is based on Wakanda. It doesnt exist historically. Thats why it's considered more "futuristic and sci-fi. Theres also glowing tattoos and that stramge made up super metal. With painted rhinos and something that looks like a space ships. That's why. Not hating. Its true
Icarüs 5440 First thing I will say you are very beautiful what’s your IG
Icarüs 5440 iron man has the suit that can transform on him piece by piece if you seen avenger 1&2 They’re flying around and spaceships basically and Jarvis is controlling it and The avengers have a secret base where they all terrain including agents of shield and wakanda based in Africa and have the same futuristic Tec like the avengers like a flying aircraft Carrier but
Icarüs 5440 I respect what she saying but she need to do her history before she start judging I don’t know what she thinks but they are real comic book fans from like the 60s when black panther was created till now & this is how it’s supposed to be
The guy with the guitar who stated he couldn’t relate to the slavery, is the same type of attitude T’Challa had in the movie regarding people outside of Wakanda. Not my people so I don’t care 🤷🏾♀️
LetsHangThough sad
Ernest Wilcox unfortunately that’s human beings for you, (most)people usually don’t care until it becomes personal.
LetsHangThough however koreans in history were slaves to japan. In that sense i feel the older generation koreans and blacks especially those who are aware of the slave history have a bond thru suffering
ArthasXfrost one would think so, but it appears not to be the case.
LetsHangThough yea thats wat u think. To each his/her own
I think Black Panther was a well needed movie, it showcased African culture and black people in a positive light. When I watched it, I felt proud to be black and I am grateful for it doing as well as it has worldwide because it's showing a different image of black people that isn't necessarily showcased in movies and people are quite receptive to it. One of the main reason why non-black people especially those that have never interacted with a black person in real life have such a negative image of us, is because black people are always shown as "gangsters" or "hip hop artists" or criminals or just poor and illiterate in movies and western media overall. It's was nice to see black people being portrayed as equals and not sub-par in anyway to other races.
OT what they said about the "Korean" lady in the movie I thought the same lol. I am in no way semi-descent Korean but I thought that was some of the most awkward Korean I've ever heard they should have just have her speak English lol.
Jay Alex U are right there have been many all black productions but none that has sold as well as this. And no Marvel isn't African and the director isn't African but this movie was made from the point of view of a BLACK person which really changed the way people viewed it. As for relevance to real life culture, I really can't say but just look at how black people from all over the world are embracing their African roots through support for this movie. Tbh I've never seen so many people where a dashiki in all my life until Black Panther premiered lol. Now it may all just be a trend and will die out eventually but I see all this as progress.
*_"Felt like a sci-fi movie rather than another Marvel movie"_*

@@dicksonbanda5125 bruh 😹😹 reminded me of the Lion King "hakuna matada" song 🙆🏽♀️ yoh bruh it's so aggravating to hear Americans genuinely say that line/song and thinking it's Zulu lmao
This was a really awesome perspective ... the connection between Black & Korean cultures have always connected for me. I have a Korean soldier that I became great friends with ... we share many childhood experiences & cultural norms ... I've often thought out of all the international members I've known Koreans & Africans/ AA seems more alike ... I agree that the more other cultures see AA/ in our true likeness the more excepted our culture will become ... ❤❤❤
Queen Bella Noir you can't mix African countries and american blacks like that. It is not the same cultures.
Maybe in general as people. And especially as different peoples.
Same goes for even closer ones in the americas.
Not sure about Canada since they are the closest to English speakers and the next closest is probably u.k maybe. But they are closer to Africa so who knows.
Black and Asian has always connected for me. Can you imagine if they banded together? It'd show amazing potential for all cultures to relate and understand each other.
RR Yase Absolutely!!!
It is happening now in K-drama Itaewon Class ❤️❤️ they cast a black actor as one of the main roles!!! I hope Koreans get to know better about black people, as there were too few black people and voice in Korea!
(I’m Korean btw, and I wanted to tell you that the interviewees were mostly saying ‘Koreans might think...’ not ‘I think...’ as the translation misleads.)
I enjoyed listening to their well thought out opinions. There definitely needs to be an Asian Marvel super hero movie. Representation matters.
Silk, Amadeus Cho, Jubilee off the top of my head...
Jeff Eff specifically as a lead role
Jeff Eff honestly if they made Amadeus Cho wear the iron spider like in the animated show it would have been lit but since miles just made it into theaters we have to wait another decade 😧
Typhus Viator. Statisticaly, there are way more white people in the US, so there are probably going to be more white people in American films.
He should be a ninja in a black suit, but black panther has already took that spot. Like come on Ninjas and Samurais are asian and one of the coolest badass warriors of all time. They should make a superhero based on it considering the history its got
Rolling my eyes. Like, a super hero movie changed your perspective of blacks when you could try to get to know those blacks that sit alone on the train. That's sad.
Its usually the older generations that hold the most grudges against black people in korea. There have been stories where grandmas will lift there feet and cover the seat to stop a black person from sitting next to them, but the younger generations are becoming much more educated and usually have no problems with black people.
I don't care what it is, That's perfectly fine a superhero movie made someone open their eyes. It goes to show you how powerful story telling can be. It can inspire kids and adults alike.
yes bc everyone loves striking up a conversation on the subway
there isn’t a huge population of black people in korea. their only perception is what they see online or in movies. why are you blaming them for constantly being fed how evil black people are, instead of blaming the ones encouraging and selling that stereotype? it’s a more complex issue than “go talk to a black guy”
Ank6612 i rolled my eyes so hard when that guy said he NOW thinks blacks are cool because of Black Panther. We've always been cool smh
Awww. All those compliments they were giving Chadwick. Rest in power to the king!
I'm not even Korean, but when I saw the Korean lady speaking in Korean scene, I didn't think she sounded like Korean native speaker either🤣
The dude with the guitar seems clever.
Wow this just shows that movies do change people’s perceptions. I never thought people would believe what is shown in movies if it is good or bad. This just why we need positive movies about black people and shame the brothers giving in to stereotyping roles that hurt our people abroad.
Movies often times are many ppl only exposure to other race and ethnicity. Ppl don't consciously choose to believe in what they see in movies but if it's the only exposure they keep seeing and/or the only thing they remember and can reference with, it does eventually affect ppl perception. Yeah, some stereotypes have truths to it but majority are overblown and created because of Movies.
Na onairee true. I am not blaming them though if that is what they only see knowing that there are barely any minorities in their country
I think that's a bit of a cheap excuse (because the country is homogeneous). Obviously if a social issue does not effect you or your people, it's fair that you will not pay much attention to it or care about it. But in the age of globalization and almost unlimited information sharing, to say "after watching black panther I've realized that beautiful black women exists " is baffling to say the least-ignorant is bliss-but yes it's crazy to see how media can change perceptions
I hope you and others pay closer attention in English class where they explain the importance of media and wording. Ex: during a hurricane a news cite called black victims looters for finding scraps in flood waters while white people we're refered to as survivors, the kicker is that this was all in the same area but different captions. Media play is not done without purpose
Samantha Epps, true, there is always a catch
Many are commenting about the guy so here:
I do not exactly know 100% how it feels to black and discriminated, due to the fact that I am not black myself, but I do understand what black people have and are going through"
At least in a correct translation. The transaltion from asian boss is correct, but it defitly doeant include the naunces and the meaning that he is trying to say. It gets lost in translation.
Hope you don't think ill of him!
Can we please say people of color not minorities ? How would an Korean character be a minority in South Korea??? Aside from that, I liked all of their viewpoints really cool interview.
Zariya Esan that's a stupid term. How are Koreans a people of colour...
Seriously it divides based on skin instead of anything worthwhile. It is legitimately a bad term
Bad term. We all agree that thats bad. I understand what your trying to say, but face it.
Koreans understand marvel is American, and Asians are the super minority in the USA
That doesn't fit ALL minorities though
I could totally tell the Korean was off so I totally forgot how Korean natives would react to it lol And a lot of people are saying that Black Panther is too political, but most of the movies, especially the recent ones have been more serious and geared to politics and government. I mean the very first movies with Captain America was about the military. I wouldn't rate this movie based on that. I just think movies about black people will get people talking. It's just the way it is right now. I'm glad to hear their opinions either way. Good or bad.
natwixterthan18 movies about politics and social movements have existed since the dawn of films LOL
Yea but for some reason when black people are the main characters people see it as "extra" political
But movies are an art form. It's not supposed to make you comfortable
It's not too explicit it's just talking about political topics that are deemed taboo like race in America in regards to black people.
정우진 I know that the truth can be hard to swallow but damn
I love watching these interviews! Thanks.
The Invisible Inkling ❗❗❗❗
Jason can seemingly appear near his victims through means of walking, he can easily slip in and out of areas undetected. This is best seen in Part VIII when Jason kills Charles. He can swim at incredible speeds, completely unrestricted by water resistance. He can make himself go unnoticed in his surroundings, allowing him to freely act without being noticed.
its so funny how they all love the movie but none of them gave it a 10 LOL
Black Panther was "successful" because ALOT of African countries were supportive & teachers were even buying tickets for their students..... bottom line, black people ALL OVER THE WORLD were very supportive of their people. NOT because it was the greatest movie ever made but it stared mainly black actors.
I didn't say "ONLY" black people saw it, i said the main reason for high tickets sales was because many people from Africa bought it because there was MAINLY black characters... that's a FACT.!! there's nothing special about this movie compared to the other Marvel movies, other than the black characters.
You sound TRIGGERED.
lmfao
No giving FACTS.... you are gonna sound stupid trying to explain that this movie was one of the 'greatest' movie ever made? you really think so? there's nothing wrong being supportive & the movie wasn't bad, but just because i don't go with the general crowd doesn't mean i'm being hateful or racist..... of course i would expect that from you....
you sound confused kiddo @ Rodney Whitney. lmfao
It was successful, mainly, because was *Marvel Production.* Secondly was a good movie with a good villain, third most of the cast was black.
Rest in Peace Chadwick Boseman 😢❤️
Thank you so much for this Asian Boss, so much of what the people said was true, representation is important and can change the way the world see's us as black people. As for if there is ever going to be an Asian superhero, I don't think Asia should wait for Marvel, do it on your own, India did. India has two of their own superhero's watch the movies "Krish" and "Ra One". Koreans rock and I'm glad that there were parts shot in Korea. Once again thank you for this video
Kareemah Maphasa Indians are Asian but I agree
My apologies, I guess what I meant is that If Korean's want to do a superhero movie they should wait for Marvel, they can do it in their own capacity, lord knows with the amazing fantasy drama's like "You who came from the stars" and most recently "Goblin" they are well equipped enough to make it themselves
East Asia already has Ultraman, Power Rangers and tons of manga superheroes, Asian Boss was speaking in terms of Hollywood
Krrish was decent, but upto Marcel/DC standards though. Ra One is so worse, it's almost embarrassing. Now Raj Comics from India is trying to make its own movies based on their superheros. But it will flop. Because no one gives a damn about Raj comics.
I think the only true success India has ever had with superheroes was Shakti man. It was a average series but people liked it nonetheless.
It's possible a hollywood east-asian hero movie will be made someday, but if it's the case I don't think there will have many of them, asian are only 2% of the population in USA. I mean, I'm not American but, but I find it normal that a country make heroes based on its actual population.
China will have plenty of capabilities in like 10 or 20 years anyway.
I love that Korean people have an elaborate opinion (in a good way that is), even the youngsters are so enthusiastic... made me smile. Honestly I wouldn't have been that vocal 😂
Maina Edward lol
Funny thing is Korean don’t know much about people of color but they do Hip-Hop. Lol I just find that interesting that I heard such negative opinion of black people yet Kpop stars do blackish inspired music. I appreciate the thoughtful comment of this group of people and nice to know that everyone doesn’t think horribly of black people.
Koreans do realise hip-hop, rap etc. is black culture inspired, in fact most clubs (as in the after school activity) in schools/unis for rap/hip-hop are called 'black (people) music societies"
Wow, I really never thought of it from an Asian perspective, I really enjoyed this and it enlightened me a great deal. Awesome job. Thank you.
"The era of discrimination is over"?, "All superheroes are white and the villains black"? YO, WHO'S MANZ IS THIS??
He's a kid, cut him some slack
Unknown Element all young kids think that at some point
He means whites are portrayed in positive light while blacks in a negative one. For example blacks are often poor criminals with bad manners in media. Can you argue against this? Even the famous American tv show fresh Prince shows Will Smith telling Carlton he is not black enough wherever Carlton is concerned with education, being responsible with finances. Does being black in America mean be poor and stupid? Clearly they have a point. The entire black identity in the USA is built around glorifying a negative lifestyle.
@Andrew Lee
I never noticed that with Fresh Prince I guess it takes others to point things out to you. I honestly was confused by what he meant by that. But it is normal for black people to be portrated in that way.
And even if that is what he is saying, he is wrong and I will not excuse him simply because he looks young. The age od discrimination is not over, it has simply changed. the prevalence of colourism and exclusion of black and minority characters is still a problem and I love this film but my fear is that they will see this and feel like okay so you have one stop complaining. One of the best parts of this film and the cast is the representation of the dark-skinned black women. As someone in that group its lovely and heartwarming to see that representation finally.
Some of their comments are just heartbreaking. Am sure there are black people in Korea, for a film that aired in 2018 to help change their perception about those black people is just saddening.
Ace literally 0 black people in Korea
i took kpop to change the perception of asia
swag girl
I mean Kpop isn’t really an accurate representation of Korea but yeah
Ace
But notice how they comment how they don’t understand because they don’t ever experience these things. There are barely any Black people in Korea to begin with. So there aren’t going to be that much knowledge about Civil Rights
Korean have over5000years history. Korean don’t learn detailed American history. Korean see western movie and think ‘Oh, they are. If I go to America, I will do like that’. Do you know what it mean? American movie was very focus in white people themselves. Many Korean don’t know about white and black people. I think Korean have to learn in school about “History of discrimination” for international future of course. But you have to understand that is like you don’t know about ‘Dong-iee jock’ or ‘Myo jock’ or ‘Han-jock’.
its funny they said the old korean lady didnt speak good korean. darn korean american😃. its funny, most natives say this about people who were born in America and they dont speak their ancestors language very well. thats because we in america tend to adapt the language to american speak.
It's true. It was horrible korean.
Im korean american. And I tgink its atrocious haha. It's a fact!
lol My Korean teacher was talking about how people from Busan actually have a very strong accent that most Koreans from other regions can't understand. She talked about how when she was living in Korea she visited Busan and couldn't understand what most people were saying. I wouldn't be surprised if that Elderly lady was just another Korean who is from Busan.
Sheila Brown its a dialect I understand. But that was a konglish. English korean mix accent.
Got ya
I wouldn't laugh if someone tried to speak a foreign language and had an accent. I would be amazed and proud. As a person who speaks fluent French, I like it when people try to learn new languages, as it shows that they are inclusive and interested in the culture.
I think if it would have been a character who was trying to learn to speak their language it would have been different, but from my understanding they were laughing at the old lady character who was supposed to be an actual Korean and hence speak without an accent. Also, sometimes laughing doesn't have to be in a mean-spirited way, I'm teaching abroad and people laugh when I try to learn the local language, but not in a mean way. :)
shsshhs but these were actors who simply learned 2 sentences for a movie and it didn´t sound too good, of course it was funny for the ones in the theather,, especially since it was a serious scene.
I wish there were more movies like this. I was kind bummed when they had white people instead of asian for the cast of avatar and also for goku in dragonball /:
chef rob Didnt realize this was a competition on which race has it worse lol I was focusing only on how I feel about asian representation in films which actually happens to be the lowest percentage out of all "POCs" in the Hollywood industry. So no. While I think "shoving" race into whatever might seem worse for you, I think leaving certain people out because of their ethnicity is worse.
chef rob Sure. But Im saying out of the asians who ARE interested in being casted a leading role, they are the LEAST likely out of any other race to get it. Like my first comment suggests, they often fill the role of an asian character with a white actor. And this is not because theres not enough asians who want to act. Lol. Please.
chef rob ALSO. Do not generalize asians as people who want jobs like doctors, lawyers, or accounting jobs because honestly everyone wants a well respected, high paying job. Saying asians would only want those jobs is only insinuating model minority which is a form of racism. This isnt rocket science as you obviously pointed out. :)
chef rob Wow oh wow. "Asians have money and like doing business." You really believe that one general stereotype can represent a whole ethnicity? Wow oh wow. And I actually grew up in Korea as well as in a diverse community in the United States so its not as if I dont know asians lol. Actually, I would probably know more than you because I am Korean American. I think its funny how how you think because of the stereotypes of what a "typical" asian is, the discrimination that they face in the hollywood industry can be justified by the fact that "asians have money and like doing business" wowwwzers
chef rob ALSO "they dont care about the entertainment industry" LOL @ this comment because you have no idea what you are talking about. You really must not know anything about the entertainment aspects in our cultures. Who are you to say what asians are when youre spitting out stereotypes that generalize who and what asians are.
That guys comment about Koreans not being black and therefore unable to understand racial prejudices is ridiculous. Everyone has suffered prejudice in their life in one form or another, either by class, race, religion, sex or even taste in music. All it really takes in my opinion is some empathy and a little cultural and historical awareness to understand the issue better.
When he said that,kind of made me sad, because I know there are a lot of people who think like that.
+Olivia Winata What did he really say?
Sypher Carver no not countries with low count of foreign imigrants. Not all countries r the us or ouestern europe. I was born in Czech rep and that is a central europe country yet ppl until lately had no idea how to akt in front of black ppl. So no its not ridiculous.
I'm korean-american and I think what he was trying to convey was that since korea is still mostly a korean population, the type of discrimination and experiences that black people go through is difficult for korean (those who live in korea) to understand. I think korean people experience discrimination of a different kind but not the same kind that black people experience.
I may have gotten distracted by the video and don't remember that part exactly, but from what I could tell, he seemed to mean well. Was he maybe implying that he couldn't speak to the prejudices black people specifically have faced, because he himself has not experienced them first hand? South Korea doesn't have as many black people, and are rather homogeneous. I don't think it was a lack of empathy, just a pragmatic point.
That was a great interview video, I'm glad they did it!! Great job!
Really candid interview. I liked that most of them are changing their biases and opening their minds to new things.
Wow the fact that some Koreans were able to see beyond the mere visual flair of the film is astonishing and awesome. (not saying they’re ignorant it’s just that racial equality and pride of minorities or different races is nearly non-existent in Korea)
Harry I’ll say it for you, they’re ignorant.
That's quite an ignorant comment yourself. Ignorance is something that can be worked on. As Harry said Korea is a mostly a homogenous ethnic group. I think people's preception are changing (still slowly but better nothing) and I'm extremely happy about that.
Aesthetically기유리
Wow, you can tell the personality trait of a whole race based on your inane perception? Can you tell me the genetic makeup of every Korean's 14th vertebrae?
Harry Because they live in such a homogenous society they live in ignorance. They know nothing more than what is portrayed to them via media. My point still remains they’re ignorant.
They know "nothing more". Wow I'm speechless. Just throwing it out there, there are many "ignorant" indivduals regardless of where one lives. You cant just describe a whole ethnic group as ignorant. Seems like you're Korean yourself so you must be ignorant just like the rest of them too, according to your "logic".
It's good to see how the movie helped change stereotypes about black people. Also would be great to see an Asian superhero next .
KrOjah 1 Nollywood has gotten better over the years.
Tertullian Tertulian Bruce Lee is a superhero
That Asian said the movie showed that blacks can be hip and cool lol what ignorance .... smh, Hip and cool originated from black Americans
Real80 the words or the concepts?
No person or group created or owns the definition of the word "cool and hip" we are all cool and hip. Nobody created it. We defined it through our own cultures and niches. What maybe be (vape/instamakeup) may not be cool somewhere else (korea)
Icarüs 5440 not entirely true, at least in the American sense. To be cool, is a connotation of maintaining a level head in times of stress or being level headed. This concept was born out of the jazz movement in America (prominently made up of black musicians) when musicians would improvise and anticipate the next step. This had to require an immense amount of clear and creative thinking to keep calm, cool and collected while the music changed in real time. Since then it's morphed and twisted and turned into this amalgamation you see today.
Mace I don't think that concept was born out if anything. It s existed. The stoic idea was one of remaining calm ect.
It's a new name to an old idea, especially to men, ideal.
Because it is an ideal to the definition.
It's merely an applied word
The fact it has synonoms means the concept has always been expressible.
D. San sure the root of the concept has existed but saying being a stoic and being "cool" in the modern sense, is the same thing is inaccurate.
The interviews we're refreshing! Loved their honesty and perspective! Kudos to asianboss!
As an asian american i felt like this movie was 10/10. I'm not surprised that it didn't appeal to koreans as much as Americans though because of lack of black culture and diversity in the country.
I too hope there will be more asian representation in hollywood and the media. Unfortunately most of our immigrant parents have convinced us to take more "stable" jobs. I am very happy for the success of Black Panther though and hope to see an all (or mostly) asian cast in a future marvel/disney/universal/large studio movie...
Yeah! Even as an African-American I really hope for a movie with an asian cast in the future.
"It's hard for koreans to relate to these human rights issues"
It's official koreans are from mars.
i feel it is a regular thing to say for ppl who are from a very homogenous society that is located on a remote peninsular.
Nesly Jean louis they can't relate to the black human rights issues in America or places outside of there own because they don't live there and ybh I couldn't either after all its not happing to us how can we relate but that doesn't mean we don't feel the sympathy for your rights we can't relate in the same way in which it's happing
lizvlx remote? R u kidding me?
what exactly bout remote sounds weird to you? it is a peninsular but politically an island and located at the end of a continent.
lizvlx that doesnt mean its remote. That small peninsula holds more people than California. It also supplies the world with samsung LG and Hyundai....just becauss its all the way in Asia doesnt make it remote.
I really enjoyed the fact that they spoke their minds without the fear of being canceled or whatever
totally loved the questions and "dug" the insight/answers. Ty!
As a person of color in America I would say the ONLY major complaint I had about the film, particularly the parts in Korea were that they didn't pick up more Korean actors and actresses while there. I am so ready for an asian super hero to team up with the black super hero. Like, that would be so so sick!
Malgorbia I know right. I’m reading a comic about how the Dora Milaje are trained and it would be cool to see them learn some Asian fighting styles, which could lead to introducing an Asian character and eventual super hero.
Misty Knight and Colleen Wing
Having an Asian Superhero & African Superhero fighting side by side as main leads in a film would be super lit, I would go see that movie in a heartbeat.
So uh...like Super Rush Hour?
Jenna D no one of the cool things about Dora Milaje is that they use indigenous African martial arts. To make them have an Asian person train them would take away from it and also be a total cliché.
Guitar guy was woke af
A lot of people hating on Koreans for not feeling strongly about the movie and/or knowing about black people, but how many of you actually know an ounce of Korean history lol 😂
It's okay not to know, it's not okay to assume negative because of media before getting to know people.
exactly lmao
Those are just ignorant them selves brother. When i see something positive, I give it a praise. Not the opposite. Many of this people were sweet and smart.
Awesome video! Great work to those that put it together and props to those that gave their honest opinions.
That mixed kid in the beige jacket gives off reallllly weird vibes. Good segment, though.
For those saying, there are no Asian superheroes. It's true, we don't but let's not forget.. in Asia Japanese anime/Manga is quite famous.
So basically Goku, Luffy, Naruto, Toriko, Gon etc are our Asian superheros.
This was incredible work. Very insightful and informative. I respect all the answers because its honest. Thanks! Got my sub.
Just bring BamBam to hear what they have to say.
