me 5 or 6 years ago, coming across Uncle Roger/Nigel Ng's comedy on youtube for the first time: ooh no why would he embrace the SE Asian stereotypes; this makes me uncomfortab-- [sudden realization as a white person] you know what, actually my comfort probably doesn't fucking matter here; I'm going to get back in my lane and just work on internalizing the concepts of "not all art is meant for Me" and "it's Okay if art made by a POC makes me uncomfortable; sometimes that's The Point"
me a couple months ago, watching Nigel Ng/Uncle Roger on Last Meals and hearing him talk about how Uncle Roger's accent IS his own accent and he cares deeply about the representation of Malaysian-Americans: god I'm so glad I got my head out of my white ass
