    Lyrics:
    (intro)
    (you took me as safe,
    that was your first mistake, who said i was safe)
    (verse 1)
    the other night i watched the Oscars and the roster of the only yellow men were all statues,
    we a quarter of the population there’s a room of fuckin’ 1 percenters laughing at you,
    fuck a bambu ceiling, guess i gotta play the villain,
    ODB up at the Grammys on the mic like “Wu-Tang is for the children!”
    Bruce Jenner is woman, OJ was acquitted, Kim K is a hero,
    the sky is the limit any minute now they gonna let an Asian brotha’ get a lead role,
    shots fired ima reload, never saw this side of Chino,
    he was always quiet keeping to himself, never messed with anybody else thats the Jonathan that we know
    (hook)
    Seems so safe, till one day things go cray,
    i swear if things don’t change, my actions can’t be blamed, (STAND UP!)
    and now you gotta duck! you know you never gave a fuck!
    i came to get my cut! (fuck you, pay me) you know i never gave a fuck!
    (verse 2)
    i aint never heard of none f y’all fools, i can do whatever every one of y’all do,
    if i never get a chance you might see the homie show up on the 5 o’ clock news,
    you aint never seen a yellow boy wild’n yellow boy shinin’ , sound the alarm i got news,
    go ahead and pro-file em’ i aint pro-violence, shhhhh, silence is how yellow boys move,
    its been the same ol’ thang, i swear the game don’t change,
    what you talkin bout there aint no space, guess i gotta go and make more space,
    you know I’m cool as a motherfucker chillin’ in the cut hella quiet with the loud pack,
    since I’m a cool motherfucker you think everything is safe till i ask you where the safe at!
    (hook)
    Seems so safe, till one day things go cray,
    i swear if things don’t change, my actions can’t be blamed, (STAND UP!)
    and now you gotta duck! you know you never gave a fuck!
    i came to get my cut! (fuck you, pay me) you know i never gave a fuck!
    (outro)
    (you took me as safe,
    that was your first mistake, who said i was safe)

      Hard to imagine. Whites don't have much representation or success in rap music, do they?
      I have been explicitly told that there are no vacancies for a person of my ethnicity. Those are just the instances I was aware of.
      Every white person has experienced prejudice, because every PERSON experiences prejudice. For the way they dress, the way they speak, and these days, explicitly told "you are a fucking white male" as if this were a sufficient argument for dismissing everything you say and feel.
      Have you felt that kind of OVERT racism?
      Really?
      Or am I completely wasting my time trying to appeal to reason and actual specific example of life for average white people in the 21st century? The most despised group who can expect no social justice or protection when from the law when they are excluded from employment, education or just opportunities to publicly share their opinion?
      Do you REALLY think white people have privilege, by being 100% accountable for everything they do or even don't do, and being forced to self-censor their speech, being the only people who ARENT allowed to offend anyone?
      When was the last time a group of people shouted their hatred of you, and explicitly told you you are not welcome and your opinion has no value, because of your skin?
      Behaviour that is applauded and encouraged. No social consequence. No legal consequence.
      PRIVILEGE, you reckon?

    this isn't about JUST ASIAN AMERICANS. It's also for all minorities who get stereotypical roles. DFD obviously doesn't want to just make it about just us. I'm pretty sure every culture wants a lead role in Hollywood movies. But for DFD and the rest of asian americans, we also want to portray our people as much as you all do. if I had great writing skills I would want a diverse cast in my movies.

Of course, Asians do have it WAY harder than black people in Hollywood but don't dismiss the fact that black people still have struggles in Hollywood too.

    Totally agree. There are so many Asian Americans in america so it's about time to have a yellow movie. There are plenty of white movies, black movies are going well. I think Asian writers needs to start making their own movies, just like Tyler Perry did for black actors. (Just an example)

    • @JustOneMoreSecond
      @JustOneMoreSecond 8 років тому +26

      For me, I don't care if they make a yellow movie. That still doesn't address the two biggest problems I have with whitewashing.
      1. I want casting Asians (and all races and ethnicities) to not be a special or unique thing. If everyone in the movie is Asian, it's no better than creating a movie starring just white people or just black people. There is a mindset that Asians can only play certain roles like the nerd, the scientist, the outcast, the foreigner. Sometimes even those roles are whitewashed (check out how Venkat Kapoor became Vincent Kapoor in The Martian, effectively changing his race and his religion, or how Mindy Park went from Korean to blonde in the same movie). What's wrong with having two Asians in a movie? This shouldn't be a problem; why should having a movie populace resemble the national populace be considered a radical idea? When will people realize that only fitting in Asian actors to play stereotypes isn't the answer to diversity? Hollywood apparently doesn't even consider Asians at all; just watch Chris Rock at the counter-#OscarsSoWhite broadcast and his poor taste in Asian jokes. Sure they incorporated ONE more color, but that's still not diversity. Hollywood needs to lose the mindset that movies have to be all-white/black/yellow/brown whatever.
      2. Hollywood directors have to realize that changing the inherent character is more impactful than 'creative licence'. Extreme cases could possibly even be cultural appropriation. If the role is described as being an Asian, then cast an Asian. If the role is described as being Middle Eastern, then cast someone of that heritage. Don't just cast someone completely unsuited to the role for their name or reputation.
      Hollywood has never been an establishment that favored or gave an equal opportunity for many races, not just Asian. Some of their early portrayals of Asians have created the stereotypes of the 'ching-chong' chinaman (Breakfast at Tiffany's) but they've done nothing to rectify this dehumanization and fetishization that they've subjected Asians to. Don't create a stereotypical character and play it off as 'cultural diversity' or 'giving the people who they want'. Hollywood has the opportunity to be the people who change views on certain races, but they adamantly refuse to do so. Somehow, casting minorities is still a radical act outside of stereotyping and novelty itemization. I don't want to see a 'yellow movie'. I want to see everyone being treated equally and justly when being cast for a role. Not chosen for name recognition, not chosen for money, but chosen because they have talent and they match the character profile.

      If you read past the first five words, you'll realize that I wasn't saying I don't care about the issues at hand but that I don't care for that particular approach, and then I explained why. Yes, it was lengthy -- an essay to some -- but that's because I DO care about whitewashing in Hollywood. There are some people who don't understand what this movement is about; it's not about getting more Asians into Hollywood, but more about getting people of ALL ethnicities to be fairly treated in Hollywood and destroying dehumanizing stereotypes.
