Why I’m not a Racist [fUXrmIjqxJc]

So it's been a few days since I uploaded

my last video talking about reasons why

Japan doesn't need any more foreigners,

and to be honest, I'm not very happy with

the response and reaction I got to it. A

lot of people were unhappy with it, and a

lot of people were calling me the R-word,

which is just ridiculous because I am not

the R-word. I'm not going to— I'm not

going to actually say the R-word because

YouTube doesn't like it when you say

certain words, and I think we all know

what I mean by the R word. It ends in a T.

When I was making the video, I really

didn't have any bad intentions. I wasn't

trying to upset people or offend people,

and I thought everything I was saying made

sense and was logical and was fair.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have said it. If I

knew that what I was saying was going to

be so upsetting to so many people, then I

wouldn't have said it in the first place.

Okay, so before I explain how I'm not the

R-word, I just want to quickly talk about

this other YouTuber who some of you may

know called Nobita from Japan. And me and

Nobita actually have a bit of history

between us. We had a bit of a feud between

us last year or 2 years ago, and we, we

just had some disagreements about certain

things. Well, Nobita decided to make a

video straight after I made my video on

the exact same topic: reasons why you

shouldn't move to Japan. And I don't

really mind if people want to copy my

video ideas. I copy people's video ideas

all the time and no one seems to notice.

The reason why I feel kind of upset is

because his video has around the same

amount of views that mine has, but his one

has over 1,000 likes and only about 30

dislikes compared to my video, which has

over 600 dislikes now and only about 500

likes. I get the feeling that you guys

don't really like me very much. Because

it's pretty obvious that he got

overwhelming support for his video when he

was talking about the exact same things I

was talking about. He gave more points,

more reasons why you shouldn't come to

Japan. He gave 10 reasons. I only gave 3.

And it's not like his reasons were any

better than mine. And I read his comment

section and no one was calling him the

R-word. And no one was telling him to shut

up or to stop talking rubbish or telling

him to get out of Japan. I hate to sound

like I'm just constantly complaining all

the time, but it's just a little bit

upsetting and depressing when you try and

make a good video and all you get is

hundreds and hundreds of dislikes and

people calling you the R-word when I'm

obviously not the R-word, and I'll explain

why later. Sometimes I just wish that I

got the same kind of support that Nobita

does. It would be nice if people didn't

call me names. It would be nice if people

didn't call me the R-word. Word, and it'd

be nice if people just agreed with

everything I say. None of my videos ever

get over 1,000 likes. The only way I can

get over 1,000 likes is if I put someone

else in the video and I'm not even in it.

So yeah, it does hurt my feelings a bit

sometimes because this is supposed to be

my internet support group, and I just

don't really feel like it's very

supportive. I read his comment section and

not a single person called him the R-word.

How come? Because he's a Japanese person,

he's allowed to tell people whether they

can or cannot come to Japan, and because

I'm a foreigner, I'm not allowed to, and

that makes me the R-word? That's just a

load of rubbish. And even though I'm not

Japanese, and I'm not even half Japanese,

technically I'm probably more Japanese

than most of you guys, because if you

think about it, I'm half

Chinese-Malaysian. My mother's ancestors

and grandparents are originated from

China, not Malaysia. So technically I'm

half Chinese. Where did Japanese culture

and the Japanese people originate from

thousands and thousands of years ago?

China. That's where it all came from.

They didn't just randomly magically appear

on the Japanese islands out of nowhere,

out of thin air. They came from somewhere,

just like I did. So I do kind of feel like

I have the right to talk about things

related to Japan, even though I'm not

technically a Japanese person. Okay, so

let's address the fact that I'm not the

R-word. Maybe I should be ignoring these

people who keep calling me the R-word

because maybe they're trolling or maybe

they're just saying it to irritate me,

but I feel like I have to explain because

if more and more people start saying it,

then more and more people are going to

start believing it, and I really don't

want people to think that I am the R-word

because I might get into trouble on

YouTube. So first of all, let's define

what the R-word means because I feel like

a lot of people are using the word

incorrectly and they don't really know

what it actually means. If you are the

R-word, then it means that you don't like

certain types of people because of where

they came from or because of what they

look like or what kind of skin colour they

have. I do not hate people because of

their skin colour or where they came from.

The only reason I would hate people is if

they do something that I find to be

annoying. It doesn't matter which part of

the world they came from. They could have

come from any part of the world. If they

do something I find irritating, then I

would probably dislike them because of

that, not because of their skin colour. I

feel a little bit insulted and offended

that people would even suggest that I am

an R-word when I have a lot of experience

as a child of being on the receiving end

of R-words, and I know how hurtful and how

upsetting it can be when people treat

you badly because of what you look like.

So why would I turn around and then become

an R-word myself when I know better than

most people how hurtful it can be to be on

the receiving end? I've had friends from

all over the world. I've had white

friends, I've had Black friends. I've had

Asian friends, half-Asian and half-white

friends. If I was the R-word, I wouldn't

have had any friends from any of those

places. I've also had different

girlfriends from different countries.

I've had a French girlfriend, a Korean

girlfriend, multiple Japanese girlfriends.

If I was the R-word, again, I wouldn't

have girlfriends from all of those

different countries, would I? I just hope

that one day people would stop calling me

the R-word because I've explained over and

over again how I'm not, and I just

couldn't be any further from being one of

those people. Hello and welcome back to

Cooking with Daniel. Today we are going to

be making traditional Indian food. I will

show you how to make traditional tandoori

chicken. If you want to make this recipe,

very simple, only need 3 ingredients:

chicken powder, chicken wing, and salt.

Okay, so first of all, we have to try and

stop doing an Indian accent and then open

your tandoori powder sachets. And pour it

into a bowl or a plate like this.

And already you can smell the fragrant

spices of the tandoori region.

Smells a bit like pot noodle, actually.

And then next we want to take some rock

salt for seasoning. Just put a tiny bit.

Not too much because then it'll be too

salty. And I know how you guys like

to complain about seasoning all the time,

so here's your bloody seasoning.

Mix that around so it's evenly

distributed,

and then finally we have to Take our

chicken wings and just put that into the

powder like

so. And then you have to get a bit messy

here and make sure the tandoori powder

coats all of the chicken.

It's quite easy because the chicken is

moist and the powder sticks straight onto

And next you want to get some aluminium

foil and place it into your oven.

And now we have to transfer the chicken

onto the foil, so just take it one

by one and place it onto the foil

and then

close the door.

And cook that in the oven for about— I

don't know how long— until it goes brown.

That should do. Okay,

so the chicken wing should be finished by

now. Not sure why I'm speaking like that.

It nearly burned, it started to go black,

but I think it should be cooked in the

middle. Let me give you a close-up. Looks

quite tasty. Actually, I think we could

cook it for a bit longer to make sure it's

not raw inside.

I've placed the chicken wings onto a plate

and wow, they look absolutely delicious.

Look at that absolute beauty. Have you

seen anything more gorgeous in your life?

And it smells pretty good as well. You can

see the oil, the chicken fat dripping down

my fork. Okay, so I'm going to take a bite

and hopefully it's cooked in the middle

and I don't get salmonella.

Mmm, mmm,

it is cooked in the middle and it tastes

like tandoori chicken actually.

I can't believe this actually tastes good.

I'm impressed with my own cooking. I don't

even think you needed salt because the

tandoori thing already tastes salty. Look

at that, I made chicken wings.

I'm blown away by my own culinary skill.

Oh no, I've only got 2 left. I should have

made more. I didn't think they would be so

tasty, but it's really good. I'm not

making this up, but it's crispy. Juicy in

the middle, and it has this rich tandoori

flavor, obviously. And I can't believe

I made it. Let me try this one over the

sink. Oh.

Oh wow,

that's really

good. Very nice.

Last one.
