Somehow I feel like I've evolved into a media watchdog for reality shows. I'm sure you guys have better things to do than watch another stupid dance show on TV. Yo, this is totally different, I swear. You'll have fun watching me pick this thing apart. Let me tell you how fucking ridiculous these motherfuckers really are. This hyped-up Superstars of Dance on NBC is a nothing short of a joke. A really bad Asian joke, just to be crystal clear.
Okay, before I go on, I want to reiterate the fact that this is supposedly a dance competition on a global scale. There are judges from the USA, Ireland, Australia, South Africa, India, Russia, Argentina, and China. Guess which one of these judges is the only person that doesn't speak a lick of English? The Chinese guy of course! Guess where they found this motherfucker? They found him in a Shaolin temple! So basically, this guy sits up there and says one fucking word in Chinese -- his score: 7, 8, 9, or 10. That's it. And guess what? He looks like he just woke up from a monastery and walked his ass to a Hollywood studio, with his Shaolin gear on and all.
Just to prove that this show did not even have auditions, I bet you can't guess what kind of performers they had representing China. I'll give you a big ass hint.
Performing for Team China are a traditional Chinese ribbon dancer soloist, a double whip soloist, an acrobatic ballet duo, and the Shaolin monks' kung fu group "Shaolin: Wheel of Life" - known as the greatest performers of kung fu for 15 years and in 40 countries.I'll say one thing, this definitely ain't the Olympics. And to prove this doesn't even belong in the same paragraph, there is no bar, par, or standard. Basically, you got people street dancing, ballroom dancing, tangoing, and our American favorite: Chinese people doing kung fu. All I kept asking myself was, "Where did they find these clowns?" These so called dancers don't represent their countries, they represent a Western interpretation of what they think their audience will eat up.
I don't even wanna get started on some of the rest of the performances. It's just hideous to see these talented people -- professionals at what they do -- come on a fake dance show just to be mocked in front of millions. There is no way you can judge cultural and traditional dances on a modern dancing arena with an unregulated decision panel and an uncultured audience. I'm not trying to say many of you are dumb (even though a lot of you are), I'm trying to say this isn't the medium for that type of artistic expression.
This is a covert form of racism that's conveyed by trying to mock the different cultures of the world. It's obvious to me the Executive Producer of this show, Nigel Lythgoe, is an ignorant son of a bitch. He doesn't get all the blame either. I thought NBC was on their way to becoming a more diverse-friendly station, but I guess they don't see the harm in culture-bashing playing out on their station. This isn't dance, folks, this is mockery.

TV and movie producers use "asians" only to degrade and insult Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans living in US. That the portrayal of "asians by producers is so consistent shows the portrayal to be made by design and not chance. So why do you watch Jews' TV and movies? The Jews not only insult and degrade you, but you actually are stupid enough to pay the Jews for the insults? Jews' stuff is crap anyway: do you really find "ER" or "Hollywood Squares" fascinating and indispensable? I haven't paid to see a Jew's movie in over 25 years, and the only TV I watch is CNBC only for the government data. All Jews could disappear tomorrow, and some guy Tokyo would still be able to download at 1Gbps at home and 5Mbps by cell phone. All Jews' products are crap, and Jews are disposable.
cognitis,
you sound like you really hate jews? i understand that jews do control the media, but let's not single anyone out. the onus is on everyone, including asians that let themselves get mocked. if there's anyone that actually loses, it's the people that acquire negative stereotypes and racist attitudes about certain groups of people they aren't familiar with.
i will continue to watch tv and point out racist subtleties because i am providing a service to the readers that visit here. my sole purpose is to provide an awareness that i'd like to believe you can't get anywhere else.
again, let's not hate on any one group of people. to me, that does a major disservice and defeats the point.
MM:
Thanks for your reply. First, I don't hate Jews, but I despise them. You, however, are confused about the Jews: on the one hand, you freely concede the point that US Media is "controlled by Jews" while attacking repeatedly in your blog the "Media"; on the other hand you decry my attacking Jew Media.
Second, Jew directors require "asian" actors (clowns) to act in degrading roles: actors don't "let themselves get mocked", since "asians don't produce or direct these shows; and how exactly do others (non-asians) "lose", when Jews degrade "asians? Others don't lose, "asians" lose.
Finally, why would you continue to watch TV and movies, when you yourself have conceded the point that US Media degrades and insults "asians"? Do you like being degraded and insulted? By "pointing out racism" on TV and movies, you're encouraging your blog's viewers to continue watching TV and movies; in so doing you're acting as Hollywood's agent by selling their crap product. If you'd like to stop any injuries to "asians" from the Media, why not encourage your blog's viewers to just not watch the crap? Again, I don't hate Jews, but I try to mitigate any injuries from a very noxious race of people.
in-cognitis,
you seem to be very persistent on challenging me. obviously you didn't read between the lines of my comment. must i spell out every letter for you? you are starting to sound like that "anonymous dumbass" that is trying to get under my skin. either way, i want to share this with you because you are seemingly missing the big picture here. if i offended you, get over it.
i don't wanna get into an argument about jews controlling the media. this isn't about the jews. this is about the mainstream perception of the asian people that pre-dates jewish influence in mainstream media. this dates back to the days of fu manchu and charlie chan and his no. 1 son. the jews you keep talking about were just passed the torch.
the reason i say it does a disservice to everyone is because they have preconceptions of what they've been fed all their lives since they were kids. these attitudes are instilled in them and some can't seem to distinguish from reality and truth, mainly because not many people are exposed to asians outside of large urban areas and metropolitan areas and mainstream media. if you're hit in the head long enough, it eventually takes it toll.
my readers will do as they please and they can see it for themselves. this is not a cult. i provide awareness with an entertainment value. that's it. why would i tell people to stop watching tv and movies?? that's ridiculous. i mean, c'mon, look what it's done to your silly ass. sorry i sound a little juvenile. not everything on tv is bad, just most of it.
now really, let's stop talking about the jews. like any other entertainment, media, and business exec, they wanna make a product that sells. it just so happens that this fake show happens to be one of them.
TMM,
Keep up the good work on your blog! I have almost completely abandoned White television and their idea of entertainment, but there is definitely a necessity for people to point out racist media!
Thanks, Zee. That means a lot.
MM, Just found your site. I like it. I'll be checking in.
why does NBC insist on coming up with this stupid shit? like, seriously? when i first saw the ads for the show i thought the same thing you did - how do you compare culturally different dances against each other? it's not like they all have ONE standard that you could use for reference, so how do you judge? wtfuck.
i was also seriously insulted when they called Shaolin kung fu a "dance." it's not a fucking dance, it's a martial art that you could use, potentially, to kill someone. unfortunately, now a lot of ignorant Americans are going to think that kung fu is equivalent to dancing.
(also, wtf @ cognitis' comments?!)
ann,
this show is despicable. i hope they bury it after one season. i didn't even watch the second episode. waste of my time. oh, don't worry about cognitis. he's got a lot of issues.
It's a bit old but what's your take on the Miley Cyrus picture and the asian guy in it?
