Ever since she was little, she 27 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,199 Speaker 1: was completely obsessed with her, and whenever we asked why 28 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: she was her favorite, besides the obvious that Mulan is 29 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: a badass hero, she would always say how her and 30 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: Mulan are just alike, and she likes how Mulan never 31 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: knew what she was doing either. I don't know if 32 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: that's like a diss or. 33 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 3: No idea. 34 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: I feel like maybe like that's child speak of like 35 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: someone who's like just figuring. 36 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 4: It out, made it work, you know, and ended up 37 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 4: being a badass by the end.

And man? 40 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: This is in reference to the beginning of the film 41 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: before Mulan went off to war in disguise, when Mulan 42 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: sings the first two songs, and the first bit she 43 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: seems a bit out of sync with everyone else, and 44 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: the second is reflection where she sings about the need 45 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: to fit in and how she doesn't think people will 46 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: like the real her. 47 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 3: Oh, that makes it so much cuter now, it's not a. 48 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 2: Dis Yeah, that's so. 49 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 3: I love that so much. 50 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: My daughter has always struggled with making friends and fitting 51 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: in with the other kids of school, so Mulan's journey 52 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: of eventually finding her path really sticks with her. That 53 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,679 Speaker 1: being said, I can't understand how it can sound when 54 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: my daughter, who is not Chinese or of Asian descent, 55 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: says that Milan and her are quote just alike. But 56 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: because I know the context, I didn't see anything wrong 57 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,399 Speaker 1: with her wording it like that. 58 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, come on, however, let kids enjoy their Disney princesses. However, however, 59 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 4: all right, all right, get hit me with However. 60 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: I took my daughter on a play date with one 61 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: of my coworkers and her daughter, and the subject of 62 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: Disney princesses came up. I feel like that's a subject 63 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: that will always come up. Yeah, when you're doing like 64 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: the daughter, you know, the daughter great change. 65 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. 66 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: My daughter, of course, used the opportunity to talk about 67 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: her love for Mulan and their similarities, and my coworker 68 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: gave me a funny look. 69 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 3: This stank gosh, She's like, what are you talking about, 70 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 3: little lady. 71 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: After the two girls went off to play, my coworker 72 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: asked why I allow my daughter to say things like 73 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: that when it's obviously offensive. I explained the context behind 74 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: my daughter's words, and my coworker said, that I shouldn't 75 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: let my daughter word it as such because others will 76 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: find it offensive. I tried to explain what is offensive 77 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: about that. I think I think basically what the coworker 78 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: is insinuating, and it's cultural appropriation. I don't even cultural appropriation. Yes, 79 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: essentially that's ridiculous. 80 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, like like basically being. 81 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 4: Like or or are you saying you could only like 82 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 4: Estey Prunch. That's that's basically saying you could only like 83 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 4: a Disney princess if it is of the same race 84 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 4: of yours exactly? 85 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 3: Which is that's that's that is that is racism? Yeah, yeah. 86 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: And and but the other thing too, I think the 87 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: other thing too, which again is I think uh fallible logic, 88 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: is there's cultural appropriation. Yeah, I mean that's essentially, in 89 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: a nutshell what it is. I think that's ridiculous. 90 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, you should be able to like Disney princesses of 91 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 4: any race, of any gender, of any freaking no, bro, 92 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 4: stop trying to gate keep my Disney princesses.

She already struggles to 100 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: communicate her feelings to us, so the fact that she 101 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: was even able to explain her feelings about her identity 102 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: to us with words is a major accomplishment for her. 103 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, let the girl love Bulan. 104 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 3: No, she can love nothing. 105 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: For additional context, my coworker is also white.

It's like it's a it's 172 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: a step in the right direction, and like yeah, it's 173 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: like it's it's only a massive positive from all angles. 174 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: And the cultural appropriation that's like when it's like using 175 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: it for your own like, uh, Katie Perry like a 176 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: few years ago did like the geisha thing at like 177 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: one of the shows, and that's like, Okay, she's trying 178 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: to like make headlines and whatever, blah blah blah too. 179 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: That's like a completely different world from this scenario. 180 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 4: Like I think when it one of the ways that 181 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 4: it can be cultural appropriation if you're like using it 182 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 4: as a costume to ye a poke fun at someone's 183 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 4: culture that as well look fun at Like I think 184 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 4: like that's when people could get mad where it's like, 185 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 4: oh shit, like you're like whearing this is actually meaningful 186 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 4: to me and where I come from, and or like 187 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 4: making fun of it. Yeah, that's where it can be shitty, right, 188 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 4: But if you're actually like enjoying and lauding and actual 189 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 4: and understanding something, I don't think there's anything. 190 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: There's a way to do cultural appreciation one thousand percent, 191 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 1: and that's great because then the people actually learn. 192 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 4: And understand about other cultures exactly. So in conclusion, OPI 193 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 4: is not the ahole. But I want to know what 194 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 4: you what you think you know?

The main concern is that paternity tests 240 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 4: and medical DNA tests shouldn't be done without supervision. 241 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 3: So it is wow.

She sends me an 261 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 4: address and I proceed to said address. Now, mind you, 262 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 4: I've never seen these people in my life before, but 263 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 4: she told me the two people were. 264 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 2: Supposed to come over. 265 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 4: I get to the house and there are exactly two 266 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 4: people standing outside, the dad and his five year old son. 267 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 4: It's snowing and sleeping outside, and I rolled down my 268 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 4: window to tell them to come in. The dad says something, 269 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 4: and I just say, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm here for you. 270 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 3: Just come in. 271 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 4: They get in the car and we immediately start talking 272 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 4: like we know each other. He tells me his phone 273 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 4: is dead, so he couldn't call the people he was 274 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 4: supposed to see and confirm the pickup. I assume he 275 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 4: was talking about my mom. He asked me if he 276 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 4: could plug his phone into the USB, and I'm. 277 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 3: Like, sure, why not. 278 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 4: Then he proceeds to ask me about my life, and 279 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 4: he asks if I know my native language, and I 280 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 4: laugh and I say, yeah, apparently not well enough. But 281 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 4: then he starts mentioning the word Moonhore and every time 282 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 4: he says it, it's like muonhor By, which translates to 283 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 4: brother moonhor Munjore. And I didn't pay close attention. I 284 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 4: had an hour drive ahead of me. Then we keep 285 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 4: talking about how he is trying to learn English himself 286 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 4: and is trying to get his little boy accustomed in 287 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 4: the English language. He is really trying hard for people 288 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 4: at home to start speaking in Then he mentions how 289 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 4: excited he is about the car. The moonhor By is 290 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 4: going to show moonhor By. I don't know how to 291 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 4: pronounce it. At that point, I was ten minutes into 292 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 4: the drive and already on the highway and it finally 293 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 4: hit me and I asked him, what does moon horn me? 294 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 4: He says, it's a person's name. At that point, I'm like, 295 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 4: that's a weird name to call my mom, and he goes, Mom, 296 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 4: isn't that your uncle? And at that point I'm like, 297 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 4: what the crap. I go down the list of family 298 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 4: members in my house to see if maybe he recognizes them, 299 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 4: and he does not. We both have a puzzled look 300 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 4: in my face, and his child is getting really scared. 301 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 4: At this point he asked his dad, Dad, who is 302 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 4: this man driving us? Then I decided to call my 303 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 4: mom to clear it up. Turns out I picked up 304 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 4: the wrong two people, and I had, in fact picked 305 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 4: up two total strangers.
