These look a like cams are always dumb and can be offensive if the person is say , old, overweight etc.
That said wouldn’t it have been weird if the Simu lookalike comp was some white dude 🤷♂️ maybe not I dunno. Am I being ignorant?
None of the people on lookalike cams ever look like the person they’re supposed to look like.
There is nothing similar lol.
Glasses.
Hair.
Cheek bones.
Jaw line.
Everything is different.
This wasn’t a good look-alike
What’s racist about this image? Some everyday Joe being compared to an attractive and successful celeb?
Oh yeah, super racist. Wake up.
The guy in the crowd kind of looked flattered
What was TNT thinking? Did Utah need any further attention regarding the accusations of racism. The again they thought it acceptable to have Karl Malone as a judge for the Dunk Contest…so let bring it on!
Utah try not to be racist – impossible challenge
People need to relax. Way up tight nowadays.
But who are they supposed to find in the crowd? A blonde German guy with blue eyes, fuk ppl need the broom taken out of their asses and relax
If they couldn’t find someone who looked like him, they coulda gone for humour with a Black dude in his mid sixties or something. Nope. Just Utah being Utah.
Glad the Asian brothers are calling this 5hit out. Imagine doing this to a black player in hockey or something with some random black guy from the audience?
Ah yes, the classic stereotype of all Asians look alike. Anyone who’s Asian can relate to this. Growing up being told you look like Jackie Chan, Yao Ming, etc.
And looking at the comments in this thread, it’s unsurprising that a lot of people are trying to trivialize this man’s experience. This is unfortunately the type of shit Asian people have to go through everyday. I guarantee you if they pulled a similar stunt with Black people, the tone would be completely different. But because he’s Asian, it’s no big deal… 🤦🏻♂️
I get why Simu did not like it.
Bro this is like saying Jonah hill looks like Leo man, SMH.
Simu Liu is always whining about something. Guy is so obnoxious.
I feel like this isn’t a great bit regardless. Whether it’s because of a stereotype or because it could dig up some insecurities, it’s bound to offend someone at some point.
Wow dude doesn’t even have like one characteristic to say maybe that’s just like 0 likeness
Tbf these things never look like the person theyre supposed to
As an Asian dude that’s been to Utah, this is accurate. Could’ve at least found an Asian dude without glasses
Smh dude is fat phobic huh
Damn, Utah. What’s next? Having Karl Malone be a judge? Wait…
tbf, that was the only Asian dude in attendance
If Utah’s trying to remedy their image, they couldn’t be doing a worst job of it
You had one job Utah!!!!!! One job!!!!
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity
I was at a pizza place at Zion and my friend asked how spicy the wings were. The dude said “look we are all white people here so I think you can handle it”. We are Asians and that was just an attempt to be nice but it seemed weird and very Utah.
Eh. Nobody looked like their look-a-like. I would say lighten up .🤷🏻♂️
crazy racist
​
damn
haha I mean…to be fair he was probably the only Asian guy in the crowd haha it’s Utah bro…it’s literally 90% White, I’m almost positive it has the highest percentage of white population out of any state
Why the fuck is the all star game even in Utah? The NBA is probably 80% POC, this likely won’t even be the first incident
Utah really had to go full Utah on the one weekend that most of the basketball world actually pays attention to their city.
And shoutout to all of the nerds and low-key racists in here trying to downplay this insulting move by the game ops crew.
Simu Liu is the biggest self-hating incel in Hollywood right now but that guy looks barely like him
