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
lol I never said you were wrong. I said Panda Express is nothing to write home about, which is isn't.
I never said anything about young Croatian-Americans going too far or being annoying - those are YOUR projections, not mine.
The younger Chinese kids are clearly trying to prove they know what authentic Chinese food is, which I doubt they do based on how hard they're trying to push the point. Which they clearly are. the one kid is shitting on panda express hard then the other girl makes fun of him for eating Mcdonalds lol
It's really not that big a deal, but okay. Also I'm not the one who brought up ehtnic identity, the other dude in the beginning of the thread did. and you were the one rambling about Social Justice Warriors, etc.
Your words are right there in black and white
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

@ PRJA93
Okay...So that appears to be the video/interview clip that the reaction GIF I posted originated from.
Not too sure why you @ mentioned me for it, though.

Is tracing GIFS to their original source a hobby of yours, do you want me to watch it, do you just wish keep engaging with me or what?
What's your point?

So you're using a Waka Flocka meme but know nothing about rap culture... I see 
That's Chloe btw and she's not impressed with Disney Land.

I know who Waka is, but this isn't a thread about rap culture.
I posted the GIF to convey a reaction to your silly bleats of innocence. You know, like "Okay....Sure, whatever."
LOL...What's the matter with you? You really don't get how GIF posting works?
Or do you think there's a deeper, hidden "meaning" behind GIFS too?
No, wait...don't bother answering that.
Not interested.
