| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserving listeners. This is chapter 14, the final chapter in my apology deep dive |
| 0:06.9 | in which I finish answering your questions that you emailed in. So let's get to it. Omar |
| 0:12.7 | commented on Patreon and said, I would like to apologize and ask for your forgiveness, |
| 0:19.3 | Dr. Kirk Honda, for being a geography pedant on YouTube comments on your first Ella and Johnny |
| 0:26.6 | reaction video. I like to show off my limited knowledge of geography and history because I |
| 0:32.7 | derive some self worth from that. Also, I was in a headspace where I was learning a lot about |
| 0:38.8 | Malaysia to prepare to visit family and I thought the comment would get buried and I didn't think |
| 0:45.2 | it would attract any attention. I'm sorry if that came off as serious criticism. It wasn't |
| 0:51.5 | end of email or end of comment. Yeah, I remember that. I believe Omar you were pointing out that I |
| 1:01.7 | hadn't mentioned Malaysia. I think I was listing off a bunch of Asian countries and I was saying, |
| 1:11.0 | you know, I believe I was commenting on how people will say, well, you know, that person is Asian |
| 1:19.8 | as if that describes one's culture. More than half of the world's population could be categorized |
| 1:27.6 | as quote unquote Asian, even if you exclude Northwest Asia, if you just include South and East Asia, |
| 1:35.0 | I think that's probably like 60% of the world population. So you'd be more specific by saying |
| 1:44.1 | someone's culture is not Asian, you know, imagine lumping all of Europe and all of North America, |
| 1:51.6 | all of South America, all of Africa, all of Australia into one culture. Well, that would be |
| 1:59.7 | less egregious than lumping all of South Asia and all of East Asia together. And I was saying, |
| 2:07.2 | and there's so many countries, one, and two, in each country, there are so many different cultures. |
| 2:14.3 | So to say someone's Asian is ridiculous. And I was listing a bunch of countries and I didn't |
| 2:23.4 | mention Malaysia. I think that's what was happening. And Omar in the comment section on YouTube was |
| 2:30.5 | just like, oh, you missed Malaysia. And I think I've already talked about this at some point like |
| 2:38.0 | during a comments video, I might have addressed that. But no, Omar, I did not take that as criticism. |
