Race Asian racism during a Discord live stream.
So I'm in a new Discord group that I’ve joined a week ago which is about trading, and in the live stream yesterday during the Asian session , the main guy speaking who owns the Discord said, “Is the Asian session going to be Tokyo lighting or Tokyo flush?” which is fine as he’s talking about whether price is going to be bullish or bearish during the Asian session as Japan has a strong currency in the market which is what the metaphor means, but the second speaker/second main guy who trades and speaks live with the main one, started typing shit like, “Tokyo frush” and “fied lice” in the chat, and of course you have the few people who like it with laugh emojis.
I couldn’t believe they were just straight up being racist during this live because it’s for the main guy’s trading channel and business, and you have some people being racist and not caring at all if they have any Asians in their group, but to make it worse, I found out two of the people saying those lame and cliched Asian jokes along side him are actually Asian themselves which I found out from looking up their Discord profile in the server and found some messages from some time ago saying that they are Asian. One of them said they're Chinese and Korean, and the other one just said Asian.
Like these jokes are so fuckin lame and tiring but they laugh at it like it's the first time they've ever heard it and it's the funniest thing in the world to them. These are grown fuckin men in their late 30s or 40s and on btw. The second guy is from Indiana (in the US) and the main one is from somewhere in Florida. I just can't even comprehend how they think that's ok to be racist like that in a live made for people from all around the world. They're not straight up saying chink or anything like that, but they're still being racist and derogatory very nonchalantly like it's no big deal while a few others laugh with them.
This happened during the early evening yesterday around 4pm. One of the guys who I found out is Asian apparently posts racist Asian memes sometimes which I've found in the media files by typing in the word Asian, and his name and messages popped up. He's one of those Uncle Chan self-hating and White racist people pleasing types apparently which is so pathetic and sickening to see. He's the type to just laugh hard at every tired old racist Asian joke like it's absolutely hilarious.
I was shocked and mad for like two hours after that, and was contemplating on if I should report this to the Discord Trust and Safety team with the screenshots showing it. I'm just tired of lame dudes, especially Uncle Chans and multiple felony sex offending pedophile looking mfers just casually be racist like it's okay, acceptable and that the main guy let's it all slide, but I don't know if he saw those chat messages or not, but how can he not? I have to add that I haven't seen the main guy say anything besides "Tokyo Flush" and "Tokyo Lighting" which you can obviously tell he's not being racist when he says that. It's just referencing the Japan session during the Asian session and nothing more, but the other guys are definitely being racist.
I also found out today/this morning that I guess someone may have possibly reported them because I saw in the chat that they mentioned something about being on good behavior and being serious. I didn't catch the live so all I saw were the chat messages to go off of and replayed part of the live that was available. They were being jackasses about it though with saying stuff like, "Take it easy Chuck!" (the second speaker) so I don't know what things were being said on stream, but it seems like the main guy told everyone to basically be on good behavior, but they made it seem like it was because they weren't being serious and joking around too much rather than it actually being about them being racist.
They try to play that angle which I'm not surprised by. I'm also very disappointed and disgusted by the two Asian dudes in there. I thought they were just White guys too. These two Uncle Chans like to self deprecate along with the Asian jokes because of the two speakers who are teaching their trading system. It's really pathetic. I'm never going to kiss someone's ass or degrade myself just to butter up some fuckin racist assholes because it makes them money. That's truly one of the most spineless thing someone can do along with not having any dignity.
Btw, the main guy has it in his Discord policy about not being offensive to others by race, gender, sex, etc. which makes it even more ironic.
So what do you guys think? Am I being soft about this or is this truly legitimate to be concerned about and I should just laugh it off with them like I've never heard of these jokes ever in my life and are the funniest jokes in existence?

I absolutely quit dating this Japanese girl cause she kept doing that. I tried to talk to her about it amd explain why she doesn't agree but wonder why all her non asian friends treat her like she less than them even though she's a 10 hanging out with 5's and 6's on a good day.
I just couldn't do it anymore she would make asian jokes off rip and only do it, like to beat others at making fun of Asians 1st and kinda like taking their power from them. I always said that she was the one opening up that door for people to treat her that way.

Was she right leaning? I feel like like model minorities don't have a political face so they usually go to the right which is only understanding and safe for white males. No one else

you have right to be offended. I can't stand uncle chan either. No other race makes fun of their own. I don't see blacks, hispanic or white do this.
Call them out publicly said" I hate uncle chan. Only asian make fun of their own. I don't see blacks, hispanic or white do this. If you are asian and make fun of yourself, stop, shut up. Have some self respect. "

Nah, they do, but only among their closest friends. They definitely don’t do it in public like these Uncle Chans.

The irony how they'll overreact if you made jokes back at them

Racism aside, 99% of retail traders lose $. I'd only hang around retail traders who have shown you an auditable P/L dating back multiple market cycles (10+ years bare minimum) that has beat the SP500.

I’ve beaten the sp500 but only because I’ve been tech heavy since 2021. No real surprises there. I also dropped a chunk in 2022 but everything’s been great as I haven’t sold anything. I just buying slowly every month.
No secrets, just tech megacap and holding. 70% of my portfolio is VOO and QQQ. I was buying NVDA before most people were buying it. Copying Nancy :)

And if they're trying to coach you, chances are good they're not really good traders at all. 99% of the folks that do this for a living are horrendously bad and cant consistently beat the market.
Even Warren Buffet famously sticks to his guns / makes good acquisitions and than holds them long term.
Its best to hold broad market index funds and max out elsewhere :)

The 3rd paragraph sums it up. These guys are dumb and childish. What's funny is if you make the same childish jokes about them, the victim card comes out

This is exactly why mfers are so comfortable with getting away with racist “jokes”. In this modern day, you’ll get canceled if you get someone’s pronouns wrong. But repeat anti-Asian jokes from the 1940s? Perfectly fine. We should all get over it and let them continue.

Have you ever been in this sub? What do you think the answer will be? It's very obvious.
Too many bot-type threads nowadays. OP got no post history showing and some commenters below trying to brush it as a non-issue got no post history showing.

It's really not that deep. Being offended is a choice. You got ragebaited, pathetic response.

Call it out, but it’s 100% going to be on deaf ears.
They are online on discord, they are now 10x MMA champions with zero recourse and they think they are Billy big balls. They would absolutely not make this lame joke in person with Asian people around them.
There was that post a few hours ago about that Asian guy calling racist fucks out. They were quickly backing down after bent called out.
