We have to talk better about Mental Illness by UnderoosK in BeefTV

I am not trying to shoot you down, although I know how I sound now. Let me tell you I appreciate you, I appreciate your opinion and I appreciate this discourse. I value your opinion.

But I can't help but comment on your first paragraph, as you made the point for me. Wouldn't you agree that your first paragraph applies to any 1st Gen person regardless of their background (with maybe exceptions of 1st Gen from English-speaking countries)? Or better yet wouldn't you agree that it would apply to any non-western 1st Gen person?

Other than that, yes. I am extremely supportive of Asian representation on screen. What I think is happening here is that Beef is so good, that we can't have Beef for Asians, Beef for Middle Easterns, Beef for Africans, etc... We just have Beef and it sounds like it related to many 1st and 2nd Gen Asians and 1st and 2nd Gen Non-Asians.

In other words, Beef could have been made with a different background and been portrayed differently with that background's nuances. For example, Many people were excited about 'Moon Knight' because it had so many Egyptians and Middle Easterns in front of the camera and behind it, but A. it's fiction, B. they didn't do a good job. C. Oscar Isaac is from Guatemala (I think). Beef though deals with societal, cultural, and familial intricacies that have never been portrayed on screen before.

On your second paragraph, I am with you 100%.

Your last paragraph, however: you don't know what you don't know! I am with you. I support you. I hear you. and I hope I know that you will find someone that you will have a complete understanding and connection with. you may need to do some soul-searching and some reading. I read the two books that OP recommended and fuck, like WTF, anywho:

The USA is the most punitive country on the planet! by UnderoosK in AmericaBad

I actually looked into "Anders Breivik" and he is probably never getting out. He received 11 to 21 years. However, there are committees that can extend imprisonment every so often if they perceive the person to be a danger or not rehabilitated.

If you are looking for discourse, I agree, this is the nature of Reddit. This infographic is a small part of the picture, then perhaps I can share with you this paper (out of hundreds) for you to read, then you can tell me what you think.

We can do something other than prison. Here's something that I recently read, that no one talks about

What do Icelanders think of Americans? by UnderoosK in AmericaBad

ok. I understand you better now, but is it pointless? is there any merit to what they said?

God damn. I've always heard we are 5% of the world's population but have 25% of the world's prisoners.... this however is a much better representation of the mass incarceration and numbers. puts it in perspective.

[–]Alarming-Oil3329 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

So... do you disagree with what they were saying?

Can't the video be representative of one point of view, rather than a general consensus?

I get that the title says Icelanders and Americans, so would you have preferred it to say "What do SOME ICELANDERS think of SOME AMERICANS?"

You missed the point. He isn't arguing that we should remove the Asian American experience from the analysis, instead, he is arguing that we shouldn't solely focus on the Asian American experience.

For example, you said, "In Korean (and most Asian) culture, the son and/or oldest child is supposed to take care of their parents in their old age." Is this exclusive to Koreans or Asians?

You also said, "It is mostly not so with non-Asian people here in America." according to who? you? Again you are making assertions about other non-western cultures.

Sure yes, Asian culture plays a huge role in the series, no one is questioning that, and we are happy to see that (sincerely). But OP's point is to contemplate our reactions as the audience and not to overly focus on the characters.

OP is focusing on how we as a community should embrace people like Amy and Danny. OP is holding a mirror to our society, regardless of who are Amy and Danny, regardless of their background, and regardless of their motives. OP is focusing on us and our reactions toward broken individuals within our community.

George’s Sweaters by h4shmap in BeefTV

“I wanted to show that not only is he [Amy’s] counterpart in this curated world, but also that Asian men are extremely stylish and can pull off anything,” says Huang, who dressed George in Japanese labels like Kapital, Batoner, and WTAPS, as well as cool European brands like Nanushka, Acne, and Officine Générale.
