No negativity, no over the top stuff, just a serious matter of fact discussion, and equalness. Even when recognizing bullying because of who you are and stuff. Just people being people, talking about being different and how awesome it is to experience each others differences. I really think josh needs to get nigel and gordon together. So much experience from around the world in one places, to not blend an interview between the three of them is a huge missed opportunity.

      It's interesting how UA-cam is "new media" but the best shows on the platform are less the amateur-hour bloviating "independent creators" (this was true even before hbomberguy blew the lid off the plagiarism problem) and the channels that have old-media standards and practices but a new-media presentation style.
      Consider Mythical Entertainment, which is fundamentally a TV company with UA-cam as its distribution platform, or Complex Media (Hot Ones) or Secret Base/SBNation (owned by Vox Media and presenting the wonderful Dorktown documentaries on this platform.)
      More of that, the sweet spot between editorial standards and looser, more freeform content.

    • @wenderis
      @wenderis 3 місяці тому +6

      oversimplification. The great thing about Malaysia's cuisine is that even within those ethnic groups there are more cultures and ethnicities, plus there are also significant numbers outside of those three.
      Take the Javanese and Minang diaspora/heritage, they contributed significantly to Malaysia's cuisine but considered as native Malay. Almost the same thing within the chinese and indians. And then you have the eastern Malaysia where diversity is taken to whole new level with all of the Dayaks, the Badjos, etc..
      Take this insane diversity of Malaysia and multiply it by near-infinity, then you get the country south of it.

Ginataan meaning "Cooked with cocnut milk", and Bilo-bilo which came from Bilog, meaning round, refering to the tapioca and rice flour balls in the dish.

    Nigel saying "I empathize with you, but you also have to empathize with me" and Josh saying "I wish more people saw things as more complex than they do" really hit me hard. American culture is, at this point, extremely self-destructive. Nobody is allowed to appreciate their own culture anymore unless it appeals to everyone, but then also nobody is allowed to appreciate other cultures, so it's like... who tf are we celebrating culture FOR? I think many years ago I used to think the same way, that everything was considered offensive, but then I realized not everyone is the same and it is actually MORE offensive to assume people ARE the exact same! Diversity also means diverse ways of thinking, and it's about time we celebrate THAT instead of stifling it.
    Life is a lot more holistic than people give it credit for! This is why we give strangers the benefit of the doubt instead of becoming jaded! Loved your commentary, you guys!
