LOL...If you're going to insist on telling me the "point" of the video (which you've apparently decided is to scoff at the the youngins' SJW notions of identity, cultural appropriation, or whatever) you kinda missed the boat, don't you think?
"This is tasty Chinese food that Chinese people would accept"
to which his wife (I assume) replies "Chinese people would"
And the older Chinese lady then says
"It's just American style Chinese food, you can't expect it to be exactly like our traditional Chinese food"
With the younger people clearly being basically disgusted with almost every they tasted which just comes off as some odd attempt at being pretentious about what's authentic and what isn't authentic Chinese food. I don't think anyone EXPECTED anyone to say Panda Express was good Chinese food, so I doubt that's "the point" of the video. If anything they probably expected the opposite reaction... the old people being disgusted by it with the young, possibly American-born Chinese people liking it.
What are you talking about?
And SJWs? What? What video did you watch? What do SJWs have to do with Panda Express?
This was a funny, light-hearted video I thought I'd share and you're rambling about SJWs and cultural appropriation. Jesus christ. You must be fun at parties.
I'm just sharing funny video I found and you've had nothing but negative shit to say and are now talking about political nonsense in a thread about a Buzzfeed video featuring Panda Express. Tf? lol you got something on your mind clearly I'll leave you to it.
You WERE the one who adamantly insisted that I and others were watching the video "wrong" when we initially approached it as a light-hearted piece; That we were missing a deeper point or takeaway and that it wasn't really about food/authenticity. Then you drew a comparison to young Croatian Americans "clinging" to their ethnic identity by displaying articles of pride. You know...like you think they go too far. Then you alluded that the older ones who don't outwardly express much attachment to their ethnic identity and keep quiet are far less of a nuisance/annoying.
At any rate, YOU were the one who brought the notion of hyper-identity/ethic awareness into the conversation. But if you'd like to fancy that I dreamed that up all by myself, then fine by me.
I mean, your posts ARE right here in this thread in black and white, but whatever. '
I'll leave you to your "point"....whatever that may happen to be at the moment. Lol
