    I’ve seen the look a like cams in arenas and stadium around the country and I don’t see a difference between how it’s done in Utah and how it’s done elsewhere. Went to the LA Bowl at Sofi Stadium and most of the resemblances ended with being the same ethnicity as the celebrity. I’m not saying that it’s right but it’s not like this isn’t happening pretty much everywhere.

    Reports saying this was NBA game ops people, not local game ops, fwiw. Doesn’t make it any less racist but at least not a Utah-specific thing.

    JC’s example doesn’t make this any less racist… The guy shown has glasses on and similar colors. I get that they’re not supposed to be exact but at least the had something. They weren’t both members of a group that’s commonly told they all look alike either – especially since one isn’t real. The guy they compared to Simu has nothing in common with him **except** race. Doesn’t have the same haircut, outfit, anything. Just a random guy.

    It’s just. This needs to be retired as a game entertainment ops. If Utah is the straw that breaks the back of this racist promo good.

    This stuff happens in every sport everywhere. Y’all are being a little soft and triggery

    Dude idk why everyone is so offended for the actor? Like imagine if it would have been a white fan who was chosen. People need to grow up and stop being pussies.

    Is this where the reddit pendulum swings in the opposite direction?

    Simu Lu is definitely gonna overreact about this

    I’m struggling to see the racism… A word that is thrown around too much. This may come off as insensitive but my god. The ism for every “controversy” gotta stop.

    Did no one think to post others before raging? Is this where we’re at now?

    Y’all not helping the perception of SLC in this thread.

    In the second posted photo, the dude has two things in common with the minion – glasses, and the color yellow.

    What does the actor have in common with that fan?

  12. Why are people so fking soft and easily offended? Jfc… humanity needs to lighten up. Tolerance isnt a destination reached If the path is paved by a bunch of agro people who’re triggered by fking everything.

    What’s the controversy? That an Asian looks Asian or?

  14. Baker_Playmaker

    Damn this thread is something out of truth social lol

  15. Everyone that is offended, including that actor is soft. Those are usually hit or miss. Laugh or don’t and move on and stop being drama queens.

    Agree with Clarkson, this happens everywhere and to only get mad cause this happened in Utah and to Simu is soft

  17. Hahahha how many of you saying this is not racist or inappropriate are actually East Asians
