Look, Trevor, I understand how hundreds of years of institutionalized racism might make black people a little sensitive to this kind of thing, right? But obviously, this was just an unfortunate coincidence, okay? Chinese people have no beef with black people, right?

Look, I know Black History Month is really important to you guys, but we started naming years after animals like 5,000 years ago, right? It's a set pattern, okay? Every year is a different animal. Like I'm an ox, you're an ugly rat, cameraman's a fat pig. Okay, we can't change that. Okay, it's just science.

Like, do you really think back in ancient China when they were like drawing up the lunar calendar, some old Chinese guy with a long white beard was like, oh, oh ha ha ha, oh ha ha ha, oh, oh, you know what would be funnier? If someday there was a sports league of mostly black people and we gave out monkey T-shirts. No, that never happened.

And by the way, not every Chinese person talks like that, okay? That's racist. Yeah, but you were the one doing the- No, think about it, Trevor. Who was actually offended by this? Like, one guy. One guy. DeMarcus Cousins. We're really gonna listen to DeMarcus Cousins? Really? That's the guy? That's the guy. This guy. He's been a leader in technical files for, like, five seasons in a row now.

It's the biggest cry baby in the NBA. Oh, that guy fouled me. Oh, I hate my coach. That t-shirt hurts my feelings. Blah, blah, blah. You know what should hurt your feelings, DeMarcus? Your team being in 10th place in their conference, all right? Now look, if Steph Curry complains about a monkey t-shirt, look, that's a conversation, all right? Wow, wow, Ronnie. I'm shocked right now.

You know a lot about basketball, man. What are you talking about? Of course we know about basketball. Chinese people love basketball. That's like a million Chinese basketball fans, and not to mention countless NBA players of Chinese descent.

Countless players, Trevor. Okay, look, the Year of the Monkey happens every 12 years, okay? So we need to fix this right now, or this is just gonna keep on offending people, okay? And we can't move Chinese New Year because it's based on the moon, okay? There's nothing we can do about it. So, I suggest you guys just move Black History Month. What? No, no, no. Whoa, Ronnie.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, we can't just move Black History Month. Sure you can. Why do you want February anyway? It's like the coldest and shortest month. Yeah, sometimes it's missing a day. It's like a bad month. Look, I can't believe you guys were suckered into taking February in the first place, all right? Why don't you take something like May?

It's got 31 days and there's no monkey-based holidays, all right? It's beautiful. You know, Ronnie, I see your suggestion, but I wouldn't count on that happening. Look, Trevor, all I'm saying is black people, listen, we're all on the same team here, okay? We're not your enemy. We've already proved we can work well together in rush hour, remember? Yeah, that's right.

Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan kicked ass, conformed to racial stereotypes, and respected each other's holidays. Ronnie, don't you ever touch a black man's holiday. Trevor, we're not trying to touch your holiday, okay? Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth? Oh, nice, nice. That's Rush Hour. That's what we did. It was Rush Hour. Oh, yeah, that's right. It is from Rush Hour.
