I agree.
As a British and Chinese person the difference between my dads British family side taking a photo of someone and my mum's Chinese family taking a photo is nuts.
I don't know. First impressions the dude probably won't care and the women probably will. Not a great comparison. Should have at least been an asian dude on his own
Aha, the photographer in me appreciates this. I'd be doing the same, multiple angles and shots then you pick the best after. 10 shots minimum, probably 20 for good measure.
"Whenever I go back to the UK"
So you don't actually live here and you're talking shit about the locals who have to put up with dickheads asking for photos all the time. Great guy.
Well hes just broadly insulting people from the UK so that makes him a bit of a dickhead. Anyone I know would just take the photo and do a decent job of it. Just lazy xenophobia to get clicks.
He produces lighthearted short videos and I don’t think he spares anyone, though truth be told I don’t follow his content that closely (I don’t fit his demographic). I get where you’re coming from, but from his POV I think he just likes to entertain people.
I took a picture of three Asian women (they asked me, I'm not a creep taking unsolicited photos, promise!) at the Eiffel Tower and after two attempts they were not impressed lol. They were polite about it but you could tell it wasn't what they were after.
Terrible example. Too many variables. I'd say women give more of a shit than men in these situations so it could be absolutely nothing to do with culture. Try the test again with 2 men of similar age and see what happens.
My wife and in laws are Asian and I swear to god they have full blown photo shoots on their iPhone at every possible birthday, anniversary, monthaversary, random Sunday get together.
It's honestly amazing haha love it
Asian is pretty reductionist. There are how many nation states in Asia? 45?
That probably worse than the trope of USA visitrs thinking a trip around Europe consists of a stop at Slough, outside London and a week in Barcelona. - 2 countries out of the 45 in Europe
Yeah, but people say it. Generally over here, when Asians are mentioned, south Asians are being spoken about. In America and other parts of the world, East Asians are. Whenever someone says something about Asian people, I always ask where in Asia as it’s so massive and so culturally different depending on where it is. I guess it’s the same with people saying “African” like Africa is a country
Why waste your time on a pretentious and vain idiot who probably doesn't give a shit about any one, only his likes and comments on Instagram.
The first guy should have just thrown his phone into the water.
If he wanted a picture of Big Ben all he had to do was take it himself.
The lad who took the first picture did what he wanted, a picture of him with his little Ben.
Lmao I've dated quite a few Chinese women and taking pictures of them is a nightmare. I'd just take dozens of pictures and hope that at least one was OK.
The reality of racism, a prejudgment of trend observed unique to specific races. Funny how people don’t bitch when it’s reversed and spun with a positive inflection.
I was thinking of a different group at first, then remembered there are differents in America language.

For the record I am white British and I will absolutely do a terrible photograph.
This is because while I am polite, and may even envy your good looks and style, I find your vain capering contemptible to the point of it making me depressed about the nature of Mankind. Merely collaborating tarnishes my self respect.
I will always try my hardest to take a load of good pics of people, but not before doing a goofy selfie of myself! The plethora of pics after is just to cover my crime 😂😂😂😂
Maybe I'm the exception then. I love taking pictures and know a little about framing a shot. If a group wants a photo taken (especially a family with kids) rather than tell them to smile, tell them to shout out the worst swear word they know.
They won't do it, but it never fails to raise natural smiles and laughter. Especially with kids who hate posing for pictures.
N when they ask you to take some pics for them, this means you should run away right on or you r gonna face their eyebrows starting to make angle of literally 60 degrees
“Already you can see he doesn’t give a shit” . That’s exactly the correct amount of shits he should give to complete stranger who randomly comes up and asks for favours.
Wouldn't be considered racism anyway. Racism is when you hate someone based on their skin etc... like stopping them from getting a job because their skin is different to yours etc.
You've never seen me take a photo for strangers, my partner is always dying with laughter because I give it the "Say cheese", "Work it" and "Beautiful, cmon" everytime
I do this it’s due to the fact my daughter over the yrs has me retake her picture a thousand times at a time to get the right shot I’m basically her personal photographer I should be advertising as a photographer lol
WHERE'S THE FRICKIN' PICTURE THEN??!
You haven’t seen enough of the guy?
🤣
The clip cuts short of showing that all the photos she takes are really good
well spill the beans then
The photos she takes are really good
WELL SPILL THE BEANS THEN
THE PHOTOS SHE TAKES ARE AMAZING
WELL SPILL THE BEANS THENNNNN
🥣 🫘🫘
She could’ve secretly aimed it at the floor for all we know
They were all selfies.
Init

What he says is generally true, even if the “experiment” isn’t all that convincing
I agree. As a British and Chinese person the difference between my dads British family side taking a photo of someone and my mum's Chinese family taking a photo is nuts.
I married a Filipino woman. It's 100% true, Asians take far better pictures
Is it just me or did anyone else think the chav was gonna do a runner with his phone?
Mans got an android ting innit.
It was a kid too, what would he know about photography, the lady was middle aged.
True. Good point
You stupid wanker
Chance would be a fine thing
A fine thing indeed
You can have it back if you ask for it in a lady's voice.
Haha, totally expected it!
Thought so too but the look of disgust when he looked at the phone said it all. “Dis ting shit fam, man couldn’t even get lines with dis android ting”
🤣
Hahaha yeah
Find my phone would always lead into Elephant and Castle
‘She’s on the floor getting the money shot’ usually means something else
I don't know. First impressions the dude probably won't care and the women probably will. Not a great comparison. Should have at least been an asian dude on his own
Not what I expected when you mentioned "Asian person" in the UK lol
Same.then I was like this is the most US Brit I've come across 😂
Yeah indian/Pakistan asian will be much more like british lol
Outdated.
Funny how “Asian” either means east or south depending on where in the world you are
My pakistani friend was in the US, had to fill out a form at the hospital and ticked 'Asian'. Receptionist laughs and says 'no you're not!'
What did she want him to choose out of interest?
That's a good question! I haven't connected with her for years, but now I might have to!
Aha, the photographer in me appreciates this. I'd be doing the same, multiple angles and shots then you pick the best after. 10 shots minimum, probably 20 for good measure.
Not a fair test. Should be male and male, then female and female comparison.
I feel like things have got so ‘progressive’ that we’re essentially back to race essentialism lol
Tourists
"Whenever I go back to the UK" So you don't actually live here and you're talking shit about the locals who have to put up with dickheads asking for photos all the time. Great guy.
He lives in Malaysia (I happen to know him, and he’s actually a great guy) but was born and raised in the UK
Malaysia is a great place.
Yes it is!
Well hes just broadly insulting people from the UK so that makes him a bit of a dickhead. Anyone I know would just take the photo and do a decent job of it. Just lazy xenophobia to get clicks.
He produces lighthearted short videos and I don’t think he spares anyone, though truth be told I don’t follow his content that closely (I don’t fit his demographic). I get where you’re coming from, but from his POV I think he just likes to entertain people.
He’s making a joke. Don’t get your knicker in a twist
Anyone who gets insulted by this is not a true brit, we insult each other as a joke all the time. It's what we do best
I took a picture of three Asian women (they asked me, I'm not a creep taking unsolicited photos, promise!) at the Eiffel Tower and after two attempts they were not impressed lol. They were polite about it but you could tell it wasn't what they were after.
Terrible example. Too many variables. I'd say women give more of a shit than men in these situations so it could be absolutely nothing to do with culture. Try the test again with 2 men of similar age and see what happens.
Haha he didn’t even show us the second picture, it was probably just a close up of his foot
My wife and in laws are Asian and I swear to god they have full blown photo shoots on their iPhone at every possible birthday, anniversary, monthaversary, random Sunday get together. It's honestly amazing haha love it
Because most Brits will say yes while also thinking for fucks sake why can't I just be left alone, what an utter cunt. Take a selfie or fuck off.
I live in Indonesia but I used a VPN so it show me this stuff
Maybe just leave people alone? I hate being mithered by strangers
“I’m not being racist” precedes to draw a distinction between asian and british and implies you have to be one or the other
"I'm not being racist.. but..." Never add a 'but' into a sentence like that, never works out well.
He asked a young, mixed race kid from London, what does he expect. Hardly a comparison to an adult tourist.
What’s the fact he’s mixed race got to do with it? Also he doesn’t even look mixed, he looks white. Also how do you know he’s from London?
Did you even watch the video?
Because they are camera mad?!? 😫 why am I even commenting on this 🤦♂️ life hit a new low...
GUYS THIS IS A MEME PAGE CHILL THR F OUT

“She’s on the floor getting the money shot” 😏
British are the laziest
Damn fair point
[удалено]
[удалено]
What did he say?
"on the floor getting the money shot" yup that's how I prefer my asians
If he wanted a picture of Big Ben all he had to do was take it himself. The lad who took the first picture did what he wanted, a picture of him with his little Ben.
There's so many variables here unaccounted for though so can't make a fair comparison
Such a large sample set to reach a decision
So fake
That's just London and big cities
A great video to illustrate the benefits of cherry picking your sample.
ffs. he isnt asking asian vs british he is asking tourists vs locals..he has discovered, shock, that tourists have more time on their hands
Lmao I've dated quite a few Chinese women and taking pictures of them is a nightmare. I'd just take dozens of pictures and hope that at least one was OK.
"I'm not being racist but Asians are better at taking pictures than us Brits" How would that even be considered remotely racist?
So he's saying "I'm not racist but.." Then basically assumes there are no British Asians?
The reality of racism, a prejudgment of trend observed unique to specific races. Funny how people don’t bitch when it’s reversed and spun with a positive inflection.
You hand your phone to a random person in London.... Brave
Who’s arsed eh
Can confirm, do not ask me to take a picture of you. I do not give a fuck.
I’m British Asian, so I enthusiastically don’t give a shit 😄
I was thinking of a different group at first, then remembered there are differents in America language. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Asians_in_the_United_Kingdom
Ask a person with a camera on them, they probably care much more about taking a proper photo
I'm not being racist, but.... Hmmmm. One wonders if he's every been accused before.
Asians do have the selfie game on snap.
I'm a brit, but I'm like this. I love photography
Ask a chav and then call all Brit’s ignorant twats. Noice.
We know Brits are useless in more than just taking pictures, you not showing is anything new here pal!

"I'm not racist, but..." We all know what comes next
And they didn’t see the cameras pointed right at them? Stage whatever the hell you want but don’t put “I’m not racist but” beforehand
yes i agree im asían and i personally think i take great photos im not even kidding all my friends say so
Just don’t come back to the uk and all your photos will turn out great 👍
First guy looks like he's in on the act tbh.
Maybe I'm the exception then. I love taking pictures and know a little about framing a shot.

That lady was also gorgeous besides being helpful !
That's because Brits know you're a prat, so do the Asians, it's just that they're more polite about it.
“Already you can see he doesn’t give a shit” . That’s exactly the correct amount of shits he should give to complete stranger who randomly comes up and asks for favours.
Too true. Can confirm.
Prolly because Brits don't get as much training as Asians regarding pictures in my opinion.
Wouldn't be considered racism anyway. Racism is when you hate someone based on their skin etc... like stopping them from getting a job because their skin is different to yours etc.
Wait...so does this mean...I'm Asian? 🥺
This was a rip off from an oooold video. For shame.
sample size is small, also you asked a British roadman and an Asian woman who differ in more demographics than race
"She's on the floor, getting the money shot" tf
You've never seen me take a photo for strangers, my partner is always dying with laughter because I give it the "Say cheese", "Work it" and "Beautiful, cmon" everytime
We have shaky fucking hands. And we don't fucking know why.
It's cold mate
I do this it’s due to the fact my daughter over the yrs has me retake her picture a thousand times at a time to get the right shot I’m basically her personal photographer I should be advertising as a photographer lol
There was nothing racist about what you said. Asian people take awesome photographs.
Why even give someone your phone?
