Hey guys, look at what's on the front page! A video clip from "The Big Short" (2015) that dehumanizes and objectifies Asian men!
So cool, isn't it! /s
Of course that white-supremacist movies sub and reddit's general userbase upvote this to the front page:
What happens? Well:
Gosling’s character presents to the other protagonists his Asian “quant.” Essentially a human calculator (dehumanization, stereotype). Look at how flustered and confused the Asian male is directed to look. “Look at his eyes, look at his face,” his handler says. Can you imagine any other race being treated like that on film? Gosling’s character also keeps lying that his “quant” doesn’t speak English, when in fact, he does, and also gets his name wrong (Perpetual Foreigner).
The “quant” himself saying that he does speak English and Carrell’s character saying that the eyes comment was “racist” absolutely does not excuse this garbage. Once again, you had every stereotype thrown in the book to shit on Asian men and to make him an object of comedy. And as you saw, Paramount Pictures uses this as a selling point for their film. Additionally, the racist man (Gosling) is also the narrator of the film. The guy you hold hands with is a racist piece of shit.
As much as feminists talk about women being objectified, no other group of people get objectified more than Asian men (as objects of comedy).
Consider yourself lucky if you haven't seen this movie. The rest of The Big Short (2015) also has more anti-AM content:
Consider the scene where Pitt nods to the strange Asian man wearing a face mask in the trailer for the film (something that mainland Asians do but in the film is used to otherize Asian men).
Next, consider the depiction of Asian bond manager Wing Chau as an evil guy who fucks people over. What is with this movie and Asian men?
Whites and their misasandry cannot be forgiven.
