HE WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT w/ Kangmin Lee & Davey Jax

I think he's from New York originally, but he literally lives in China and gets paid money to teach Chinese kids how to ski.

HE WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT w/ Kangmin Lee & Davey Jax

A lot of the Chinese kids are just gymnasts and they've put skis on their feet and say, OK, now go go flip that jump.

And he teaches them how to be that person.

So, like, it's not like they have, you know, natural born skiing talent in China that they have readily available to them.

Timcast IRL

So they have to look out.

Timcast IRL
HE WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT w/ Kangmin Lee & Davey Jax

They have to outsource, unfortunately, to Chinese Americans.

Timcast IRL
HE WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT w/ Kangmin Lee & Davey Jax

I think that's what we're seeing here.

Timcast IRL
HE WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT w/ Kangmin Lee & Davey Jax

And I agree.

Timcast IRL
HE WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT w/ Kangmin Lee & Davey Jax

Like, dude, if you're going to choose that, even though you have like American Californian accent, you're going to choose to be Chinese.

Timcast IRL
HE WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT w/ Kangmin Lee & Davey Jax

Like, I mean, it's a pivotal point in history to doing that.

Timcast IRL
HE WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT w/ Kangmin Lee & Davey Jax

Dude, I've also struggled with this myself because I was born outside the United States and became an American as well.

Timcast IRL
HE WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT w/ Kangmin Lee & Davey Jax

But along with what Elad is saying, if you become an American, you have to learn a lot more about the country.

Timcast IRL
HE WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT w/ Kangmin Lee & Davey Jax

You have to learn a lot about how the system works, who did what when, basic history stuff that you need to know in order to properly represent America as an American, I would say.

Timcast IRL
HE WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT w/ Kangmin Lee & Davey Jax

and i've done all that stuff because you've had because i had to do that i feel like it made me much more i have much more affinity for america and i understand why america does these things and why america works this way and to be fair we used to have civics classes which we taught in this country and we stopped that stuff and that and when we stopped that stuff we started to see way more people be like disenfranchised feeling disillusioned with him with the country feeling like i don't really have anything to do with it so i think maybe it doesn't necessarily mean like we're more or less american than another person but it does mean that like

Timcast IRL
HE WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT w/ Kangmin Lee & Davey Jax

We care about this idea, which America is.

Timcast IRL
HE WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT w/ Kangmin Lee & Davey Jax

America is an idea and has always been an idea of other people from other backgrounds coming to bring forth the idea that all men are created equal under God.

Timcast IRL
HE WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT w/ Kangmin Lee & Davey Jax

It's a culture, I think, as well.

Timcast IRL
HE WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT w/ Kangmin Lee & Davey Jax

When I say idea, I mean it's a culture because it's shared beliefs.

Timcast IRL
HE WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT w/ Kangmin Lee & Davey Jax

It's shared, like, fundamental morals.

Timcast IRL

It's also people's home.
