Comment on Better have done his homework

• Actionschnils@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Its a Joke about a family living on the edge of poverty. The kids have to work in the business instead of doing their homework in a quiet place or go playing. And the joke is not working on the level “were are all in this shit hole together”, this would be fine. No it the arrogant “hey look at this poor kid living in this shit hole. Hahaha. Now bring me my food” level.

  The racism is just the garnishment on top. Playing the cliches of people from asia.

    Brother that’s more racist than the joke. You presumed everything based on your existing bias/prejudice.

        Ah you’re simple, sorry I didn’t realize.

        I’ll repeat what someone already said, read it slow now: Hole in the wall family owned Asian cuisine is typically way better than a large corporate Asian cuisine restaurant.

      Playing jokes on racial cliches, even if the cliches are positive, are still racist

        You are assuming it’s a race thing at all. So you think this same photo where the restaurant was a family owned burger joint and the kid at the cash register was white that suddenly wouldn’t be racist? That makes you the racist. You clocked the race of the child and presumed a whole lot of information that was not given to you. How do you know this isn’t a summer job? How do you know the actual age of the kid? He could be 16 with a slower development. There’s so much that you are assuming based solely off of your experience around Asians and Asian restaurants.

    Why do you think they’re on the edge of poverty? That’s the most racist part of your post, IMO.

      Its an assumption the picture is sugesting. A small, unpolished family bussines, where the kids have to work in after school to keep it running. If this business fails, the family usually fails. You have to work your arse off, to avert this. On daily basis, your whole live. Ive grown up in such a family. You can romanticize this, but in the end, you are living on the edge.
