People can be so obliviously innocent that they end up look sounding like some of the worst people on earth, it’s so adorable yet so awkward

13:40 Okay so, as a POC I think I'm in the right to explain this. The actor who played the Black Ranger ORIGINALLY was casted as the Blue Ranger, however, according to him, the character of the Blue Ranger didn't feel right for him, so when he saw the characterization for the Black Ranger he decided to swap colors and we got what we got. The Yellow Ranger actress wasn't actually gonna play the Yellow Ranger because, fun fact, the original actress who was gonna play that role was latina. However because of issues with money and location she left the show and the roll was given to Thuy Trang (AKA Trini Kwan, the Yellow Ranger) who had audition to the roll originally. I think what some of you need to understand was that these actors WANTED to play these rolls, they were COMFORTABLE with these rolls, they knew what colors they were playing and they DIDN'T MIND THAT. You can't really say the corporations were "racist" if the actors CASTED and WANTED to play these rolls. Oh and about Overdrive Black, the fact he's a thief in the show, it's rather more ironic then racist since he actually stole money from children with cancer. If you want more info about that, google it.

In Norse mythology, Frigga is the name of Odin's wife; she's also translated as Frig in some circles. Also, from what I've managed to learn about the etymology of the weekdays, Wedsnday gets its name from Woden's Day (Woden is an old German name for Odin), Thursday gets its name from Thor's Day, and Friday gets its name from Frigga's Day; at least 3 days of the week are named after Norse deities. Bonus fact, Saturday is the name for Saturn's Day, Saturn being a Roman deity. Let that all sink in for a moment.

I never understood why people decided to refer to Asian people as yellow. No one in real life looks like a Simpsons character

"The best racists are always the fastest racists"

I miss the old EmKay intros. Anyone else?

As a Walmart employee I can agree, don’t buy the Walmart brand stuff

can confirm as someone with extremely fair skin, your doctor can prescribe you extra strength sunblock. the cheap stuff also doesn't always have the SPF they say they do, plus I can't use it anyway because my skin reacts badly with it.

9:50 just remember that the ai isn't racist, its the stuff we trained it on. We have failed

this video has made me realize how incredibly sheltered i have been, i genuinely have no clue what half of these are refrences to and i should probably educate myself...

The "I own too much black" is probably referring to clothing.

“Certified Racist” is the best and worst shirt I’ve ever seen

5:00 The no colors thing in hotels/restaurants/bars is in regards to "gang colors" essentially the venue doesn't want people repping a gang to be in there. Motorcycle clubs/gangs also have colors in the form of the patches they wear.

On the mean green nachos, it gives a list of things to leave off; no beans, no guac etc. But it shortens "no jalapenos" to "no japs"

For the Rosa Parks bit: The entire bus had a wrap that commemorated her, not just the back, and they had a seat at the front that also commemorated her legacy. Memes always focus on what is most offensive to the creator, not the whole truth.

2:18 That's a sim, most likely a randomly generated "townie". Those are generated with random make-up and skintones. So no one particularly created her, it was just chance.

the xbox diablo transition just reminds me of the meme that goes something along the lines of, "That's it. Gay Pride is over. Now it's time for GAY WRATH MONTH!" I don't know what would represent Gay Envy, Gay Sloth, or Gay Gloom. Gay Lust and Gay Gluttony are a little more self-explanatory.

4:27 As an Indian, it would've been more accurate if the baby had added a black dot on the cheek (usually applied using kajal), we tend to do that a lot especially for infants and toddlers to ward off any bad nazar (attention would be the closest translation to that word in English).

The Shadow is a psychological concept described by Carl Jung and it's part of the subconscious. Take Jekyll and Hyde, for example. Hyde operates on pure impulse and commits acts that Jekyll never would have done. However, they are the same person. Hyde is Jekyll's shadow. He is the embodiment of Jekyll's darkest thoughts and desires that he suppressed to the point he no longer recognize some of them as his own. That's what hte sign was referring to.

I saw a sign on a window near the door of a pub that said No colours, I asked one of the staff and they told me it was for the bikers. Apparently they are not allowed to wear their club patches/ jacket in the pub

Shame most of them seem to be good people it's just nobody pulled them aside and explain why it's wrong

4:05 refers to things like white-hat hacking, the good kind, as opposed to black-hat. gray-hat are the true neutrals Edit: finemernop7201 is right, gray is a spectrum

4:10 white probably has the same connotation as it does on white hat hacking. It just means for good purposes. (Like pen testing or whatever good you would use a proxy server for)

About the sims npc I think random npc's in the sims 4 are randomly generated. Generally they look okay, but if you use custom content, like for exemple cumstom lipstick or eyeshadow, some npc will use it as well but totally randomly which causes... This kind of stuff.

that first shirt is something i would LOVE

For the sims one, NPCs are randomly generated so no one actually made them. The game just picks a bunch of attributes so you can get a sim that looks like that or a sim with blue skin, green hair, dressed as a clown and probably the signature sims eyeball ring.

robin saying "please don't press the white power button" made me laugh so hard

7:40 The menu is in Hebrew, the item's names are black celebs, specifically Beyonce (Hamburger), Opera (Pasta) and Aretha Franklin (Pizza). They thought it would be cool since all the dishes are black (have squid ink or something that makes them black). Anyway, they probably didn't think much of it, Aretha's name is spelt wrong, they wrote "Anita"...

The reason why so many movies these days are dark is due to low lighting hiding imperfections in CGI, especially in lower budget productions.

To the first image: Not as bad as the minecraft "I love minors" shirt

In the UK, there used to be a security firm called "Safe and Sure". They had the "Safe and Sure Corps" as a special unit for big security tasks. (And they were closed down for technically being a private police force!) Yes, the SS Corps....😉

8:30 well "Frigga" is the goddess of marriage

"no colours in this venue" usually refers to gang colors i.e. bandanas

“The old white men were right” -jimmy beast

iirc the black guy specifically asked to be the black ranger in the OG series

They're saluting Giovanni, but since he's not there, they're saluting the camera.

Frieza is basically one of the most hilarious racists in DBZ

To answer Robin's question about the Rosa Parks memorial on the back of a bus: I'm pretty sure this was a real thing in Birmingham, Alabama(I looked up Max Transit, and it's a bus system in the area).

Oof, that Sims one. That’s definitely a randomized townie. I’ve seen some baaaad randomized outfits and makeup looks, but that is a whole other level! 💀

I love this subreddit so much

I’m fairly sure that the actors in the original power rangers chose to have those colors. At least that’s what I’ve heard.

Some of these are legit reaches, all of them are hilarious.

i love this subreddit it’s so funny

I actually had to look up the definition of SS and now I feel kind of stupid. Granted ofc that it's not an acronym that is generally being thrown around like KKK, ISIS, BLM, or that of any other infamous racial hate groups for that matter. We've come to refer to all of the German military's rank & file at the time as Nazis by default anyway, so unless you're big on warring history these things will easily fly over your head. It's just sad that it's one of those things that history ruined for the indefinite future because some bad people chose to adopt the meaning of words and symbols for evil intents, just like the Swastika was changed from a widely used religious and artistic symbol to what we now associate to possibly the greatest historical evil since the Holy Crusades.

They are saluting Giovanni. Basically pokemon hitler

I like the part where Robin takes the opportunity to give us a Baz Lurman-esque lesson on the benefits of wearing sunscreen.

7:20 Caucasian also refers to the Caucasus mountain region in Asia

2:18 I think I know the answer to how this happened! It looks like it’s the sims and for npcs that randomly spawn it just randomizes all of the features for a sim and puts them out in the world. It’s most likely a sim that unluckily got randomized with a beige eyeliner and bright red lipstick making it look like… that.

Every time when there’s a new Emkay video my recommended shows me it and I love that because most people probably aren’t as lucky

@6:07 For clothes, black is like the universal default. Black pairs with everything and in many ways.

Fun fact: The guy that played the Black Ranger in MMPR specifically asked to audition for the Black Ranger because that was his favorite color.

I work fast food, we have American cheese, cheddar and Swiss, you'd be surprised how many people ask for the "white cheese" when ordering a burger or they'll ask "do you have white cheese?". Just. Just say "Swiss" please

15:01 Semi-good news: This actually doesn't qualify as the nazi salute because they're doing it with their left hand. I'm also kind of willing to give people the benefit of the doubt with this one because there's not that many ways to salute to begin with.

"please do not press the white power button" lmao

Definitely one of the funniest subreddits I have ever seen. :D

1:35 absolutely defines this subreddit.

for those who don't know what 14/88 means, it's a nazi symbol, 14 means the 14 words (something hitler said, look it up) and 88 means heil hitler (h is the 8th letter of the alphabet, 88 = hh = heil hitler). edit: kept watching, bellow the Black Menu they had meals named after famous balck people, so you can literally purchase black people.

Good day when Robin uploads

okay for 1:18, she's a greek talk show presenter and yeah she means the clothing, she probably just misworded it because she doesn't know english very well😭😭

11:52 thank you for coming out as a Diablo fan

the no colours sign at the hotel means no gang clothing which are commonly called "colours"

I like watching emkay suffer more than actually understanding the jokes.

12:36 thats talking about your "shadow self" from psychology i think. Its the you that you dont want to see, basically summing up your negative traits.

11:29 i am a parr of that community as well and i also think thats funny asf

It is something that has always had me laughing when it comes to the letters SS... now the meaning of SS, or Schutzstaffel which translated in Google Translate means "Protection Squad" in German... Now, what makes me laugh is that the same letters SS, are used for the US SS, also known as the United States Secret Service, which are also a 'Protection Squad' for the President of the United States. Now before anyone jumps the gun, do remember that the Secret Service was formed back on July 5th 1865, way before the Schutzstaffel was even formed, which was April 4th 1925, some 60 years later.

At 15:02 I think the right side just waved but the guy at the extreme left is doing it with full commitment.

3:54 I have pics like that. Apparently Walmart thought prices ending in 88 were cute, and then items for $14.88 started popping up on large displays. I felt like I was a tad insane, since no one else seemed to notice!

What's worse about the Operation Overdrive casting was that not only was the character a thief, but so was the actor. He took an autographed banner that was supposed to be auctioned off for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He claimed that he was just using the banner as an excuse to talk to the other guests at Power Morphicon, but he still took potential money away from dying children.

After seeing that first image, I regret making that Chicago Style comment.

0:50 Likely Giovanni.

4:52 Kike IS there name and it's Nigerian so, they probably don't know that it means something else in America! 😭

0:37 its because theres a button that i assume is short for jalapeno (i cant access special characters rn dont come after me) and the way they shortened it turned into a slur towards japanese people.

I'm extremely photosensitive, so I use zinc oxide sunscreen. I really like the baby formula by aveeno. It feels nice and actually works as a makeup primer. I'm also a big fan of hats.

New Emkay video! You guys have a great video schedule. Thanks guys! Have a great summer!

3:58 My guess is "white purposes" is in the context of White HAT Hacking, Black HAT Hacking, and Grey HAT hacking. That message may be displayed in the context of cybersecurity, hobbyist or professional hackers/researchers conference, or programming/infosec/CS education facility, who would understand the jargon reference.

10:35 I, being a dumb idiot, used the word in the caption in the Wordle once because I thought it was the onomatopoeia for when armor hits against itself. (The word is actually clink) *I then unknowingly told my Asian friend about this Wordle.*

13:50 OK, this one's going to be a bit beefy, so hold on: In 2001, Saban and Newscorp had a partnership known as the Fox Family Channel, formerly a CBN network. (This channel still exists as Freeform, which is why Freeform shows the 700 Club despite not wanting to, because of contractual obligations.) However, in 2001, Disney purchased this partnership, giving them ownership of all Saban properties as a whole. With that, Disney took over production of Power Rangers (with production moving to New Zealand) for every series from Ninja Storm to RPM, including the series pictured, Operation Overdrive (the worst series produced under this era.) In 2010, Haim Saban (with a new company, Saban Brands) purchased the rights to Power Rangers (and Digimon, among others) from Disney and began producing new series... Until Hasbro recently purchased the rights to Power Rangers. Also, fuck this guy. Not the character, the actual actor. He stole a signed banner at the first Powermorphicon (or is responsible for it going missing,) one that was set to be auctioned off with the proceeds going to charity. At best he was awfully lax with something so valuable. At worst he's a thief and a piece of crap.

13:47 From part of Wild Force to RPM (2002-2010ish) Disney produced Power Ranger seasons. They even tried to do a 're-version' of Mighty Morphin that was cancelled a few episodes in (adding special unnecessary effects that didn't sit well with damn near everyone). Around 2011, Saban bought back the rights and we got Samurai and Power Rangers on Nickelodeon. Years go by and Hasbro buys the rights to Power Rangers and it ends up on Netflix exclusively. Operation Overdrive was a Disney season that consisted of treasure hunters, including doing some thieving. It's not a great season, but it did have one of the coolest team-ups in the whole franchise

2:18 That's the Sims 4, so it's entirely possible no one created her and she was just a horrible creation of the randomizer, because the Sims has a lot of randomized NPCs. And she's just wearing horrible looking makeup.

1:16 was not expecting to see a post from greece here. she's a famous talk show host. we also do not have that phrase in a racist context here, so most she can be accused of is ignorance. which is kinda on brand for her lol!

3:55 honestly don’t get this one

14:56 the kid in the middle is not having it. Good job kid.

14:31 for anyone wondering, that girl is from a game called Skullgirls and the game is pretty fun :)

Out of context Robin: Ooooooo! Homophobia!

@0:29: Actually, yes. The original Atlanta Crackers were named because of the meaning of the word “Cracker” in the early 1900's meaning, “Someone quick and efficient at any task.” Also, a previous minor league team (before the Crackers), based in Atlanta, were called the "Firecrackers". Of course, back then, being a "firecracker" meant you were either working hard or were hot tempered.

To answer the question, Mighty Morphin' Power rangers (awesome show) was the one with the black actor being the black ranger and the asian actress being the yellow ranger. If i remember correctly, the black actor was actually supposed to play as the Blue ranger but found the 'Zord' (giant mecha) of the Black ranger cooler. As for the Asian actress, she wasn't the first pick for the character, but the actress the studio had originally wanted had to be dropped due to budget issues and she was the alternative

0:55 I just showed this to my dad since we’re from Northern Indiana, and he immediately said, “We’re going.”

5:58 I'm guessing here but Roma could be the name of a restaurant and they could've had problems with people parking in their lot to go to the restaurant and their customers not having a spot.

To explain the All Whites/All blacks sports teams here in NZ: A while ago, while playing abroad, a commentator said that our rugby team was playing like a team of "All backs" (so super defensively). This was misheard, and adopted as the teams name. The soccer team is named the All whites as a counterpoint to the rugby team. I also haven't heard any kiwi's have an issue with it, as our ratial tensions involve Maori/Pacifica issues, who are more brown than black, so we're much less sensitive to that than the US is.

0:45 if this aired on for 4Kids, they’d all be holding tennis rackets or something Also how do you get these posts with the subreddit’s rebranding to the middle finger subreddit

13:33 If I recall the original red ranger was as native American too 🤣

"no colours in venue" means no sports team clothing basically In the UK some signs even say "no tribal clothing" lmao

9:34 - It's almost certainly trying to say that the TV doesn't convey black tones very well, which is pretty common with cheap LCD tvs.

14:21 I mean, the Boonie Bears series has come a long way; it used to look so weird and uncanny, and now it's still a bit weird and uncanny, only less so. The pose they're doing looks more like the pose the Yo-kai Watch characters do in Uchu Dance. An abysmal pity that it looked like... something else.

Ah, the Pledge of Allegiance. I want to say thank you to all the teachers I had as a child who didn't try to kill me because I didn't want to recite a bunch of words.

Anyone knows what is wrong with the Dutch flag picture. Prices are not the issue (like with the 1488) and I kinda doubbt the pride flag above it is the issue. Homophobia might be as bad as racism, it isn't racism. And the Dutch flag is just the Dutch flag, the oldest tri color still in use btw. Frigga: "why does it needs to be called that" well... because it is a normal word in some languages. Or are other countries not allowed to use their words because of the off chance an American walks past and sees what he wants to see? The world is bigger than America my friend

14:35 "rice arancini" lol its a appetizer if you aren't familiar. this hade me dying

14:13 the worst part about this is that there is a Japanese food called natto that kind of looks like that

We're going to see so much racist AI until they finally make sure their testing teams are diverse

Hey son I got you a gift! Oh, that’s not what I meant when I said I’m a racist
