1:09
Speaker 2: Famous Phil Henry Show. It's the greatest value online other
1:12
Speaker 2: than porn. Welcome guys to today's show, Today's radio Archive hour.
1:18
Speaker 2: I really like this when it's from two thousand and five.
1:19
Speaker 2: It's Dean Wheeler. Dean Wheeler is a character that I
1:22
Speaker 2: based on a guy that I actually met outside of
1:24
Speaker 2: a hotel in Las Vegas one morning. I was on
1:26
Speaker 2: my way to the airport and this guy was standing
1:28
Speaker 2: there and had a big smile on his face.
1:29
Speaker 1: Is that how you doing?
1:30
Speaker 3: How'd you do?
1:30
Speaker 2: And he goes, oh terrible. He was smiling as he
1:33
Speaker 2: said to me, oh terrible. I dropped thirty grand at
1:35
Speaker 2: playing dice last night. Oh now, I don't want to
1:37
Speaker 2: come here ever again. And he was smiling through this
1:39
Speaker 2: whole thing. I hated here, you know, So I based
1:43
Speaker 2: the character Dean Wheeler on that. This this smiley boys
1:45
Speaker 2: guy Dean eventually evolved from the character that you're going
1:49
Speaker 2: to hear here is rather professorial. He eventually evolved into
1:52
Speaker 2: a new age kind of guy, owns the Wheeler Resort,
1:54
Speaker 2: owns the Man Camp, is all spiritual and all this
1:57
Speaker 2: good stuff comes from a really you know, he need
2:00
Speaker 2: background a guy. He comes from New Jersey where he
2:02
Speaker 2: was in prison for drug dealing and he was arrested
2:04
Speaker 2: for domestic assault, so he's been everywhere.
2:07
Speaker 1: Dean Wheeler.
2:08
Speaker 2: Here he is as he talks to listeners about his
2:11
Speaker 2: belief that if you use a fork and a knife
2:13
Speaker 2: in a Chinese restaurant, you're being racist and you gotta
2:17
Speaker 2: have some sensitivity there, and then he winds up using
2:19
Speaker 2: the word chinaman.
2:20
Speaker 1: Later on in a bit this is the Phil Henry Show,
2:23
Speaker 1: we have Dean Wheeler with us.
2:25
Speaker 2: Mister Wheeler is an educator and lecturer from the San
2:27
Speaker 2: Francisco Bay Area, to talk to us about a lecture
2:30
Speaker 2: series he's been involved in on racism in everyday life
2:34
Speaker 2: and what we can all do as individuals to combat it.
2:37
Speaker 2: Combat it as opposed to simply looking to another. What
2:40
Speaker 2: piece of legislation a mister Wheeler or another proclamation of
2:44
Speaker 2: a well known community leader and so forth. So we
2:47
Speaker 2: welcome you onto our program. And what do you think
2:50
Speaker 2: about that this is a more of a one person
2:51
Speaker 2: a person problem, isn't it?
2:53
Speaker 3: It really is so. In our lecture series, we try
2:57
Speaker 3: to point out that racism is everywhere in our sisciety,
3:00
Speaker 3: and we've seen what racism can do when you look
3:03
Speaker 3: at the terrible disaster we've all witnessed on television in
3:07
Speaker 3: New Orleans. I don't think it takes a lot to
3:10
Speaker 3: reach out and bridge the racial divide that can separate
3:13
Speaker 3: us and divide this country. But I don't know if
3:16
Speaker 3: people want to take the time. And that's really this
3:21
Speaker 3: is all about as we conduct our seminars in our
3:24
Speaker 3: community discussion groups.
3:25
Speaker 2: Now you said it's time to speak up forcefully as individuals.
3:29
Speaker 2: Tell me what you mean.
3:30
Speaker 3: By that, Phil, I think we can all make a
3:33
Speaker 3: difference if you see or hear a racist behavior, knowing
3:36
Speaker 3: what we know about our society, what we've seen in
3:39
Speaker 3: New Orleans. I think that you say it directly to
3:42
Speaker 3: a person and say it with conviction, because people respect
3:45
Speaker 3: anybody who is definite and clear in their thinking.
3:47
Speaker 2: All Right, there's a couple of examples in your book,
3:49
Speaker 2: here's a chapter called night Out. Now you talked about
3:51
Speaker 2: a date that you were on with a colleague of yours.
3:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was from our ashram in Mill Valley where
3:59
Speaker 3: we do a lot of We do an awful lot
4:01
Speaker 3: of prenatal midwife training as well as some of our yoga,
4:07
Speaker 3: and it was an interesting experience. But I saw it.
4:11
Speaker 3: It's more shocking when you see racism coming from a
4:13
Speaker 3: person that you thought you wanted to get to know
4:15
Speaker 3: and share time with, and then you see what they
4:18
Speaker 3: really are, and you have to maintain your composure, but
4:20
Speaker 3: you also have to be very direct and not tolerated.
4:23
Speaker 3: All Right.
4:23
Speaker 2: Here you are in a social situation with a young
4:26
Speaker 2: woman that you're trying to get to know, and you
4:29
Speaker 2: say that she has done or said something that is
4:32
Speaker 2: racially insensitive.
4:33
Speaker 3: You bet, Phil, the thing that you have to tell.
4:35
Speaker 1: Tell me what took place?
4:37
Speaker 3: You bet. We were at a place called Munsao's. It's
4:40
Speaker 3: in the Asian section of.
4:42
Speaker 1: San Francisco, and that that's in Chinatown.
4:46
Speaker 3: You bet, Phil, it is Chinatown. I don't really like
4:48
Speaker 3: to call it that because it's a little bit of
4:50
Speaker 3: a throwback to a more demeaning time, but We're in
4:52
Speaker 3: a very nice and also a very traditional Chinese restaurant.
4:56
Speaker 3: The other thing to know is that I'm very well
4:58
Speaker 3: known in the Asian community here in San Francisco. The
5:03
Speaker 3: Chinese business people know me. I do a lot of lecturing,
5:06
Speaker 3: we do a lot of our yoga and are seminars
5:10
Speaker 3: here and in fact, I have the rare privilege of
5:14
Speaker 3: having the Chinese respectfully boo to me many of the merchants.
5:19
Speaker 3: So I'm very well known and I've got a reputation
5:22
Speaker 3: among the Chinese here in this part of San Francisco.
5:27
Speaker 3: And we were in a Chinese restaurant. I was looking
5:30
Speaker 3: forward to spending time with Kathleen, as you mentioned, she
5:32
Speaker 3: is a colleague. And we ordered our food, which was
5:36
Speaker 3: a simple traditional Mandarin dish, and I heard her say
5:39
Speaker 3: to the server, would you please bring me a place setting?
5:43
Speaker 3: And that indicated that she wasn't going to eat with chopsticks,
5:46
Speaker 3: and so you sort of brace yourself.
5:49
Speaker 2: You're right, So shoot, not eating with chopsticks would indicate what, well,
5:55
Speaker 2: it indicates an insensitivity.
5:57
Speaker 3: The Chinese don't mind serving Europeans or Western people. They
6:01
Speaker 3: don't mind serving the white man, but they do notice
6:05
Speaker 3: how people behave and react in their homes and businesses,
6:08
Speaker 3: and you know that they are very quick to anger people.
6:13
Speaker 3: They are inscrutable in a lot of ways, but they
6:16
Speaker 3: will you know, they'll get up into your face. And
6:21
Speaker 3: so you.
6:23
Speaker 2: Mentioned the book that they brought your food. You and
6:25
Speaker 2: this young lady, she proceeds to take silverware out.
6:27
Speaker 1: Of a napkin.
6:28
Speaker 3: You bet, Phil now watching someone who's exhibiting this trade
6:32
Speaker 3: is obviously repulsive.
6:34
Speaker 1: She's not using chopsticks.
6:35
Speaker 3: She's not using chopsticks, and she's showing a kind of
6:38
Speaker 3: a lack of respect for a very very ancient culture.
6:41
Speaker 3: And the other part of this is her racism. It
6:43
Speaker 3: puts me in a bad situation. I'm very well known,
6:46
Speaker 3: and the Chinese see me out with this person who
6:50
Speaker 3: is of such low breeding and of such low opinion
6:55
Speaker 3: of herself as well as a fellow human beings that
6:58
Speaker 3: she can't even walk into a Chinese restaurant and use chopsticks.
7:03
Speaker 1: And so your notoriety plays into this as well.
7:06
Speaker 3: You bet, I understand the Chinese. And one of the
7:09
Speaker 3: things about the Chinese is they you don't really want
7:12
Speaker 3: to get them angry. I was there in this restaurant
7:15
Speaker 3: owned by people I know, And now here's a Western
7:18
Speaker 3: woman who's using a fork.
7:20
Speaker 1: Can I ask you something.
7:22
Speaker 2: I go to a Chinese restaurants a lot, I see
7:24
Speaker 2: a lot of people not using chopsticks.
7:26
Speaker 1: I should say something.
7:28
Speaker 3: Absolutely, this is the kind of racism that goes undetected,
7:34
Speaker 3: it goes unaddressed.
7:36
Speaker 1: And yet a lot of people would say, well, I
7:38
Speaker 1: didn't know was racist.
7:40
Speaker 3: Well, Phil John Rocker said he wasn't being racist when
7:43
Speaker 3: he used the words fag and spoke and koon and
7:46
Speaker 3: all this in the comments that he made in Sports Illustrated.
7:49
Speaker 3: But nonetheless he was. And so we all have to
7:54
Speaker 3: have the courage. People like mister Rocker and this young
7:57
Speaker 3: woman that I was out with need to face their
7:59
Speaker 3: racism and and.
8:02
Speaker 1: And deal with it racism in everyday life.
8:04
Speaker 2: We're talking with Dean Wheeler, a lecturer and educator from
8:07
Speaker 2: San Francisco, about how we can combat it. To the
8:11
Speaker 2: example in your book is the young lady that you
8:13
Speaker 2: were out with who was not using chopsticks but instead
8:17
Speaker 2: was using a knife.
8:19
Speaker 3: Well, she was using a fork. She was eating a
8:22
Speaker 3: rice dish. That is we call it chicken fried rice,
8:26
Speaker 3: but it's it's it's got a more culturally acceptable term.
8:32
Speaker 3: And she's digging into this with this fork as if
8:34
Speaker 3: she is some Western pig, you know, disrespecting the Chinese
8:42
Speaker 3: all over the all over the restaurant. And so we
8:45
Speaker 3: have to have the courage to face up to it
8:48
Speaker 3: if we don't, and it angered me. It sickened me.
8:52
Speaker 3: The Chinese know me, and they'll remember me.
8:56
Speaker 1: Did you in the book you mentioned you slapped the
8:58
Speaker 1: fork out of her hand?
9:00
Speaker 3: Well, I asked her if she would please use the chopstick.
9:03
Speaker 3: She told me she didn't know how. And after about
9:05
Speaker 3: a minute of this, your indignation begins to your indignation
9:10
Speaker 3: begins to rise a little bit. And I remember just saying, oh,
9:14
Speaker 3: this has got to stop. And I reached across the
9:16
Speaker 3: table and I did something I probably should not have done,
9:21
Speaker 3: but I did. I slap the fork out of her hand.
9:24
Speaker 2: Now, needless to say or not, because I have no idea.
9:28
Speaker 2: Do you still have a relationship with this person?
9:30
Speaker 3: Well? I do, Phil, And it's interesting because she came
9:33
Speaker 3: to me the next day and we shook hands. The
9:35
Speaker 3: whole thing was a big misunderstanding, and I got to
9:39
Speaker 3: know her a little bit better. She is interested in
9:45
Speaker 3: seeing me, you know, socially. And I've got to ask myself,
9:50
Speaker 3: do I want to sacrifice the standing that I have
9:52
Speaker 3: among the Asian people in San Francisco because I have
9:57
Speaker 3: certain needs as a man? Or why am I going
10:01
Speaker 3: to throw that respect away?
10:02
Speaker 1: And well, all right, look it.
10:04
Speaker 2: Did she understand that not using chopsticks was a racist
10:08
Speaker 2: insult and has since altered that behavior.
10:11
Speaker 3: Well, she doesn't want to go out to any Chinese restaurants,
10:15
Speaker 3: and I have told her, all right, that's a good compromise.
10:19
Speaker 3: But why can't you understand that using chopsticks? In other words,
10:26
Speaker 3: people that go into a Chinese restaurant and ask for
10:31
Speaker 3: a fork want I asked myself, are they even aware
10:36
Speaker 3: of what they're doing? Are they even aware of the
10:39
Speaker 3: cruelty sitting there with a fork in your hand and eating,
10:44
Speaker 3: you know, a snow dumpling or a or a sachewan
10:48
Speaker 3: broccoli or something. And these are the things that you
10:51
Speaker 3: have to ask yourself in everyday life. And my outrage
10:54
Speaker 3: got to me to the point where I just reached
10:56
Speaker 3: across the table and I made the joke to them.
11:00
Speaker 3: I said, when I slapped that fork out of her
11:01
Speaker 3: hand and it hit the floor, it sounded I thought
11:03
Speaker 3: the major d was taking an order on the phone,
11:06
Speaker 3: you know, because it had that sort of a ring
11:09
Speaker 3: to it. I don't know, but I desperately, desperately want
11:14
Speaker 3: Kathleen to understand how hurtful her behavior was and how
11:19
Speaker 3: ultimately disgusting it is.
11:21
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a break here.
11:23
Speaker 2: Dean Wheeler noted San Francisco author lecture on everyday racism
11:28
Speaker 2: and how we can do our part to combat it,
11:32
Speaker 2: something as simple as not picking up chopsticks in a
11:34
Speaker 2: Chinese restaurant. It may sound not, you know, like it's much,
11:39
Speaker 2: but it is a according to mister Wheeler, who knows
11:41
Speaker 2: apparently he is well known in the Asian community, it
11:43
Speaker 2: is a profound racist slap to the face when you
11:47
Speaker 2: use a fork.
11:48
Speaker 1: Phil Henry Show.
11:49
Speaker 2: Phil Henry Show, Living on the edge, always teetering, never
11:53
Speaker 2: quite falling off. Talking to Dean Wheeler a lecture an
11:56
Speaker 2: educator on the book that he's written on racism in
11:58
Speaker 2: everyday life and how we can combat it. You mentioned
12:01
Speaker 2: that in the Asian community in San Francisco, in Chinatown
12:04
Speaker 2: and other parts of San Francisco, you have a relationship
12:08
Speaker 2: where they extend to you the traditional Chinese greeting of
12:11
Speaker 2: a bow.
12:12
Speaker 3: That is correct, though primarily I think because of the
12:16
Speaker 3: many times that I've been in the community, I patronize
12:20
Speaker 3: many of their restaurants, do a lot of my dry
12:23
Speaker 3: cleaning there, and just I guess, just make myself, you know,
12:31
Speaker 3: a friend of the community, and you know, there's nothing
12:34
Speaker 3: wrong with eating Chinese food with a fork and a
12:36
Speaker 3: knife in your own home. If you want to do takeout,
12:40
Speaker 3: that's great. If you want to have them home, deliver it.
12:44
Speaker 3: But when you go into a Chinese restaurant and you
12:47
Speaker 3: don't have the common courtesy to use chopsticks, you are
12:54
Speaker 3: insulting the Chinese, the Chinese waiter and mad here.
13:01
Speaker 4: Is go ahead, Okay, Well, I find it very very
13:04
Speaker 4: odd that you would think that's insulting to a Chinese person.
13:09
Speaker 3: I have experience. I have experienced, I know many of
13:12
Speaker 3: the Chinese. I go to many of their restaurants.
13:15
Speaker 4: And who's who's actually told you that that that's insulted them.
13:19
Speaker 3: Well, you have to understand that I studied and I
13:22
Speaker 3: visited Beijing, China when they first opened the borders to westerners.
13:29
Speaker 3: I ate in many of the best restaurants in China,
13:33
Speaker 3: proper and you would never insult a host by sitting
13:37
Speaker 3: down with a fork and and a gentleman by the
13:42
Speaker 3: name of Wang Kao, who is one of the primary
13:45
Speaker 3: restaurant tours in Shanghai, privately discussed talk to me about
13:50
Speaker 3: his disgust.
13:52
Speaker 1: He didn't like it.
13:53
Speaker 3: Huh no, he did not.
13:55
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, do you about somebody who doesn't know how
13:58
Speaker 4: to use chopsticks? Would you, well, with all due respects,
14:04
Speaker 4: such a hard time eating their meal?
14:06
Speaker 3: With all due respect, I think you would have to
14:08
Speaker 3: be almost born with part of your brain missing not
14:13
Speaker 3: to be able to know how to use chopsticks. Well.
14:16
Speaker 2: But but the young man is making a point. I
14:18
Speaker 2: mean some people don't know how to use them.
14:20
Speaker 3: Well, I would suggest if you're going to go into
14:22
Speaker 3: a Chinese rest you can buy as I said, you
14:24
Speaker 3: can get your takeout. You can go down to missus
14:25
Speaker 3: Chow's or wherever you go and bring it home and
14:28
Speaker 3: eat it at your kitchen table with a big spoon
14:31
Speaker 3: like your Cramer and Seinfeld. But if you're going to
14:33
Speaker 3: go into a restaurant where you've got a Chinese where
14:36
Speaker 3: the Chinese are always watching, and I don't know if
14:39
Speaker 3: you've noticed this, but every time you look up from
14:43
Speaker 3: your meal, one of them staring at you. Why do
14:46
Speaker 3: you suppose that is? What are you doing? Are you
14:50
Speaker 3: eating right now?
14:51
Speaker 4: Am I eating right now?
14:52
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, No, I'm not well. I'm just saying, have
14:56
Speaker 3: you ever been to a Chinese restaurant? You know what
14:58
Speaker 3: I'm saying?
14:58
Speaker 1: What do you mean when you look up?
15:00
Speaker 3: When you look If you're in a Chinese restaurant and
15:01
Speaker 3: you look up quickly, you'll see the chef.
15:06
Speaker 4: Sharing Sara, why didn't you say you're making a racist
15:10
Speaker 4: remark right now by saying that Chinese people are so
15:12
Speaker 4: nosy that they would get into your business when you're
15:14
Speaker 4: trying to have dinner.
15:15
Speaker 3: No, they're not getting into your business, but they want
15:17
Speaker 3: to see whether you have respect for what is called
15:20
Speaker 3: the dumb soul, which is their their domicile, and so
15:25
Speaker 3: they keep an eye on you. And it's not really
15:28
Speaker 3: intrusive in the Chinese culture. It's more like, is this
15:32
Speaker 3: person you know, respecting me? Or are they coming into
15:35
Speaker 3: my house and, as we like to say in the West,
15:37
Speaker 3: squatting and take it up?
15:38
Speaker 2: No?
15:39
Speaker 3: You know what on me?
15:41
Speaker 1: Well?
15:41
Speaker 2: I mean I've never looked up from my meal and
15:43
Speaker 2: seen any I find the Asian people from China. If
15:47
Speaker 2: you're talking about people arrived immigrants from China, I find
15:50
Speaker 2: the extremely respectful people.
15:52
Speaker 3: Well, Phil, that's one of the great myths. It's not
15:56
Speaker 3: a myth. But behind that big smile at big two
16:00
Speaker 3: the smile is a very intelligent person.
16:05
Speaker 4: You know what, I think everybody has the right to
16:08
Speaker 4: use whatever eating utensil that they should do.
16:11
Speaker 3: But if you're in someone's home, wouldn't you agree that
16:13
Speaker 3: you would do things? Look at I don't want to
16:15
Speaker 3: see you or anyone. Do you know what a Chinese
16:21
Speaker 3: star is? A flying Chinese star?
16:24
Speaker 4: Are you talking about a Japanese ninja star?
16:26
Speaker 3: No, I'm talking Well, the Chinese use it as well
16:29
Speaker 3: as in kung fu and some other martial arts from
16:31
Speaker 3: the subcontinent of Asia, And.
16:33
Speaker 4: No they're not. That is a Japanese weapons sir.
16:36
Speaker 3: Well, the Chinese have adapted it because I know they
16:39
Speaker 3: use it in the Red Army. So I'm just simply
16:41
Speaker 3: trying to tell you what I know. And you can
16:44
Speaker 3: get one of these embedded in your skull because you
16:47
Speaker 3: decided to reach for a fork.
16:49
Speaker 1: Where you name it? Oh, come on, man, I'm well,
16:55
Speaker 1: you are absolutely ridiculous.
16:57
Speaker 4: You don't even have your infract straight.
16:58
Speaker 3: What are you talking about it?
16:59
Speaker 4: Don't say weapon.

Speaker 3: Yes, it's a Japanese way.
17:02
Speaker 5: You know that.
17:02
Speaker 3: You know where Buddhism comes from India? Yes, it comes
17:05
Speaker 3: from India, and yeah it is one. It's the primary
17:08
Speaker 3: religion of Japan. Do you understand that things are adapted
17:10
Speaker 3: throughout that part of.
17:11
Speaker 4: The World's that's besides the point.
17:13
Speaker 3: No, it's not. You told me, and I'm telling you.
17:15
Speaker 3: The Red Army uses it now they will. You'll get
17:17
Speaker 3: one embedded right between your eyes.
17:20
Speaker 1: Not for using not using chopsticks.
17:23
Speaker 3: It leads to that kind of thing. You don't use
17:25
Speaker 3: chopsticks one day, the next day you suddenly have yourself,
17:28
Speaker 3: Oh look I've got a half Asian baby.
17:33
Speaker 4: Well, I think are you looking it to an extreme
17:36
Speaker 4: ridiculous point, because.
17:38
Speaker 3: I'm trying to If you're into martial arts, you understand
17:41
Speaker 3: respect among cultures. You obviously have an appreciation for that. Correct.
17:46
Speaker 4: Listen, I've been I've been studying martial arts ever since
17:49
Speaker 4: I was born. I am Chinese American. My parents are
17:52
Speaker 4: both from China, and my parents know what I'm saying. No, No,
17:56
Speaker 4: I'm totally opposed to what you're saying, because I've seen
18:00
Speaker 4: my own parents use fork in a Chinese restaurant and
18:03
Speaker 4: they know everything complete. Where are Chinese culture?
18:07
Speaker 3: You and you ordered?
18:08
Speaker 4: Don you watchatality? It's being practical, Well, when it's suitable,
18:16
Speaker 4: use chopsticks when it's suitable that you want to believe
18:18
Speaker 4: that chopsticks are the superior utensel a choice?
18:22
Speaker 3: All right, So let's let me ask you this. You
18:24
Speaker 3: see how this young man, mister Henry just said that
18:26
Speaker 3: he's Asian. So he crept up on me. That's what
18:28
Speaker 3: they'll do. And who many of the Asians?
18:31
Speaker 1: Wait wait wait wait wait, wait wait wait wait, Well
18:33
Speaker 1: he could have told.
18:33
Speaker 3: Me it was Chinese, and that makes me look like
18:35
Speaker 3: a big sucker. Right now, I've got a big wrapper
18:40
Speaker 3: on my head.
18:44
Speaker 2: Ernest, I would say, no, I want to answer to
18:48
Speaker 2: my question. What's the what's the question?
18:53
Speaker 3: When was he going to spit out that he's Chinese?
18:55
Speaker 1: He's Jesus an American? Your parents are from your parents
18:59
Speaker 1: are from China, right, Earnest?
19:01
Speaker 5: Does that is that?
19:02
Speaker 3: Does that tell me?
19:03
Speaker 4: Do I have to say that in the beginning of
19:04
Speaker 4: the conversation, Hi, I'm and I'm China.
19:07
Speaker 3: Well, it's very inscrutable of you. You see, you're very
19:10
Speaker 3: you're being unscrutable.
19:11
Speaker 4: I just happened to I just happened to have some
19:13
Speaker 4: information as this so called specialist thinks he does too.
19:18
Speaker 3: Sir, I'm just trying to tell you. You go ahead
19:20
Speaker 3: and you pick up a fork and a knife in
19:22
Speaker 3: the Beijing Duck restaurant and you watch what's come sailing
19:25
Speaker 3: at your head.
19:26
Speaker 2: Oh come on, I was in the Peaking Duck restaurant
19:28
Speaker 2: in Beijing myself. I think I used the fork, and
19:31
Speaker 2: in fact, I'm sure I used the forking knife, and.
19:33
Speaker 1: I didn't see anybody throwing a freaking flying star at
19:35
Speaker 1: my head.
19:38
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I have great associations among Asians and
19:42
Speaker 3: Asian Americans, and I am trying to keep those as
19:45
Speaker 3: positive as I can. And I hate to see what's
19:47
Speaker 3: going on.
19:47
Speaker 2: All right, Look at Ernest, thank you for your call.
19:49
Speaker 2: Let's go over to Jason. Jason, you're on the Phil
19:51
Speaker 2: Henry Show.
19:53
Speaker 5: Uh hi, Yeah, this this has got to be a job, right.
19:56
Speaker 5: This guy isn't serious about what he's saying.
19:59
Speaker 3: Well, Jason, this is Dean Wheeler. Let me ask you
20:01
Speaker 3: a question. I have spent a better part of my
20:04
Speaker 3: professional life among Asian Americans and Asians. I've traveled extensively.
20:08
Speaker 5: Everything you're saying about Asians is patently racist, from the
20:12
Speaker 5: big twosy smile to your dry cleaning to you know,
20:15
Speaker 5: I mean to saying that Asians are quick to anger
20:19
Speaker 5: if you get in their face. I mean, everything you've
20:21
Speaker 5: said has been a stereotypical racist thing to say about it.
20:24
Speaker 3: I would disagree with that.
20:26
Speaker 1: Well, you said you made the comment the big toothy smile.
20:34
Speaker 3: You know something, I have very dear friends that are
20:36
Speaker 3: Chinese and Chinese Americans, and they love to make jokes
20:40
Speaker 3: about western you know, about Westerners and the clothes that
20:43
Speaker 3: we wear, or our haircuts. It is something that is common.
20:47
Speaker 3: It's not racist. But when you walk into someone's home
20:50
Speaker 3: and you put your feet up on their coffee table,
20:52
Speaker 3: would you consider that rude? Of course you would. You
20:55
Speaker 3: walk into a Chinese restaurant and you use a fork
20:57
Speaker 3: and a knife, and they're not only going to think
20:59
Speaker 3: it's rude. Would you consider they may you may get
21:02
Speaker 3: followed to your car.
21:04
Speaker 5: Would you consider it rude to slap the silverware out
21:06
Speaker 5: of someone's hand?
21:07
Speaker 1: Good point?
21:08
Speaker 3: Not in that instance, No, certain, not when you're seeing
21:10
Speaker 3: any and you're seeing when you're seeing a wrong being done.
21:16
Speaker 2: All right, hold on, Jason, Dean Wheeler on the racism
21:19
Speaker 2: of not using chopsticks.
21:21
Speaker 1: It's the Phil Henry Show, Phil Henry Show.
21:23
Speaker 3: Be lovely with me, Come on, be lovely.
21:26
Speaker 1: The Phil Henry Show is back.
21:28
Speaker 2: Jason, who is hanging on the line here with Dean Wheeler.
21:30
Speaker 2: Jason here on the Phil Henry Show.
21:34
Speaker 1: I'm here.
21:34
Speaker 5: I just don't think this guy is for real. I
21:36
Speaker 5: think he's got to be kidding.
21:39
Speaker 3: As I mentioned to mister Henry and to his listeners, Jason,
21:42
Speaker 3: I spent a better part of thirty years traveling in Asia,
21:45
Speaker 3: and I've I've gotten to know a great many members
21:47
Speaker 3: of the Asian community here in San Francisco, which, as
21:50
Speaker 3: you know, is one of the largest uh encampments of
21:54
Speaker 3: Chinese in the West. You you accused me of racism,
21:59
Speaker 3: but I'm trying to point out that when you walk
22:01
Speaker 3: into a Chinese restaurant and you pull out a fork
22:04
Speaker 3: and a knife instead of using chopsticks, they're looking, They're watching,
22:10
Speaker 3: They're watching your every move. Correctness. I'm sorry, I'm.
22:16
Speaker 5: Not into political correctness or anything, but everything you.
22:19
Speaker 3: Would you call it political correctness for me to show
22:22
Speaker 3: respect in your home by not putting my feet up
22:24
Speaker 3: and my filthy feet up on your breakfast table.
22:27
Speaker 5: No, but everything you've had to say about Asian people
22:30
Speaker 5: could be taken as being racist.
22:32
Speaker 3: Such a good.
22:33
Speaker 5: Invading somebody else's personal space you might have glapping the
22:35
Speaker 5: silverware out of their hand is way ruder than anything
22:39
Speaker 5: else you've accused anyone else.
22:40
Speaker 3: Up, wait a minute, tell me what I've said that
22:42
Speaker 3: it's been racist.
22:44
Speaker 5: The big toothy smile that you You know, Asians are
22:47
Speaker 5: quick to anger. You don't want to get up in
22:48
Speaker 5: their face. You know that you get your dry cleaning
22:52
Speaker 5: done and that you eat in Asian restaurants. That's your
22:54
Speaker 5: interaction with Asian people getting your dry cleaning done.
22:58
Speaker 3: No, that's not all of it. No, look at you
23:01
Speaker 3: show me in the Asian community in San Francisco. Yes,
23:05
Speaker 3: it just so happens. They run a pretty good laundry.
23:09
Speaker 5: You know, the only thing you've talked about is chopsticks.
23:11
Speaker 5: It seems like you have some kind of fetish for
23:13
Speaker 5: food or chopsticks or something.
23:15
Speaker 3: I know, if I can't get people to understand this
23:18
Speaker 3: very basic value that using chopsticks can get you killed, Yeah,
23:25
Speaker 3: in the wrong restaurant. If you don't use chopsticks, then
23:28
Speaker 3: that the way. No, I'm telling you there are restaurants
23:32
Speaker 3: here in San Francisco. You pick up a fork and
23:35
Speaker 3: a knife.
23:35
Speaker 5: I haven't read about it, and you ot to getting
23:37
Speaker 5: killed in San Francisco for using chopsticks.
23:41
Speaker 3: People know better. But that young man, Well, you know what.
23:45
Speaker 3: You can laugh if you want to. But you want
23:46
Speaker 3: to pick up a fork. You and you think it's
23:49
Speaker 3: a great Friday night out getting a flying star right
23:52
Speaker 3: into one of your eyes. Great?
23:53
Speaker 5: Oh, come on, you are either the funniest scary person
23:57
Speaker 5: I've heard on radio in a long time.
23:59
Speaker 3: Sir, I am trying trying to tell you. We live
24:01
Speaker 3: in a society where Martin Luther King himself said we
24:03
Speaker 3: want to judge people on the content of their character.
24:06
Speaker 3: Why can't we respect each other enough? You eat an
24:09
Speaker 3: egg roll with a fork, and you watch what happens
24:12
Speaker 3: to the back of your skull.
24:14
Speaker 5: I eat Chinese food all the time with a fork
24:19
Speaker 5: in a.
24:19
Speaker 3: Restaurant, in a Chinese restaurant. Yeah, cityst What city do
24:22
Speaker 3: you live in? Memphis? Tennis is Well, the Asian community
24:25
Speaker 3: in Memphis, like many Asian communities in that part of
24:27
Speaker 3: the world have probably has probably been so beaten into submission.
24:31
Speaker 1: Well what does that mean?
24:33
Speaker 3: Well, I think you know what it means.
24:34
Speaker 1: No, I don't know what it means. What does that mean?
24:36
Speaker 2: San Francisco's on the on the west coast, so it's
24:39
Speaker 2: closer to the disembarking point of Chinese people.
24:45
Speaker 3: But well, but the other thing is the Chinese are
24:47
Speaker 3: probably scared to death to say anything in a place
24:49
Speaker 3: like Memphis.
24:50
Speaker 5: Why, what's what's what's going on in Memphis? Let's hear
24:53
Speaker 5: you say something.
24:56
Speaker 3: Against now, I don't never forget it.
24:59
Speaker 1: Now, go ahead, man, say it.
25:01
Speaker 3: Say I don't want to say say it. Well, let
25:04
Speaker 3: me just put it this way. I wouldn't want to
25:06
Speaker 3: be standing on a balcony in a motel down there.
25:08
Speaker 1: Oh man, oh man.
25:10
Speaker 3: Well you know it.
25:12
Speaker 1: No, come on, man, you're not for real. Thirty plus
25:16
Speaker 1: years ago, you're not for real.
25:18
Speaker 5: You're not comparing yourself with Martin Luther.
25:20
Speaker 3: I'm not comparing myself with Martin Luther King. I was
25:23
Speaker 3: saying you on.
25:25
Speaker 5: Memphis, Tennessee, what set sir? What would you do to
25:28
Speaker 5: get shot in Memphis, Tennessee?
25:30
Speaker 3: I wouldn't want you and civil rights I sure seck,
25:34
Speaker 3: don't think I deserve to get shut because I'm out
25:35
Speaker 3: taking the morning air Jesus.
25:37
Speaker 2: Oh come on, man, you know we're we're talking about
25:40
Speaker 2: a modern America moving into a new millennium, trying to
25:43
Speaker 2: bring all these things together, and you're talking about a
25:45
Speaker 2: cat nut using chopsticks in a Chinese restaurant getting a
25:48
Speaker 2: flying star.
25:48
Speaker 1: Through the back of his skull.
25:51
Speaker 3: Well, you see now you're encouraging him to last. So
25:53
Speaker 3: the ignorance continues.
25:55
Speaker 2: Oh boy, Yeah, that's it man, Jason, Thank you sir. Yes, uh,
26:00
Speaker 2: you've intimated.
26:00
Speaker 3: I'm not a stranger. I'm not saying that it will happen.
26:02
Speaker 3: I'm saying that. Let me just tell you this, you've
26:06
Speaker 3: been warned.
26:07
Speaker 1: What does that mean.
26:09
Speaker 3: Well, I've spent the better part of forty minutes try
26:11
Speaker 3: to tell you, and now the only thing left to
26:13
Speaker 3: me is to say you have been warned.
26:16
Speaker 1: I've been warned about what I have.
26:18
Speaker 3: Told you that if you pick up a fork and
26:20
Speaker 3: a knife in the wrong Chinese restaurant, if you've seen
26:24
Speaker 3: the autopsy photos of Trinnedy.
26:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm listening.
26:29
Speaker 3: Oh really, you want to hear the details.
26:31
Speaker 1: What do you tell me, Lee, Harvey Oswald's going to
26:33
Speaker 1: shoot me?
26:35
Speaker 3: Lee, Harvey Oslod'm going to shoot me?
26:37
Speaker 1: No, here is Dave, Dave. Go ahead. You're on the
26:40
Speaker 1: Phil Henry Show.
26:41
Speaker 6: Yeah, how you doing today? It's to day from Ohio. Yes, sir,
26:44
Speaker 6: I spent I spent six years overseas in a military
26:48
Speaker 6: three years in the Philippines station there, and I was
26:51
Speaker 6: stationed on the midway out of Yakuska, Japan. And I've
26:55
Speaker 6: been to Hong Kong. And I know that's not all Chinese,
26:58
Speaker 6: that's a variety of different diferent things. But I know
27:01
Speaker 6: all the places that I went to overseas, I tried
27:04
Speaker 6: to use chopsticks and I was not coordinated for some
27:08
Speaker 6: ungodly reason why I do not know, but I was
27:11
Speaker 6: not able to use chopsticks properly. And I asked a
27:14
Speaker 6: lot of the restaurants that I did attend and ask
27:20
Speaker 6: them for silverware Westerns silverware, knife, forks, and spoons, and
27:24
Speaker 6: they was overwhelmingly would try and help me use chopsticks
27:29
Speaker 6: or would give me silverware. And I would go into
27:31
Speaker 6: these restaurants and I would point at the food and
27:34
Speaker 6: say I would like this because I didn't speak the language. Yes,
27:37
Speaker 6: but they tried to learn.
27:38
Speaker 3: Do you know what you're in the military? Enough said,
27:42
Speaker 3: and mean, they're with a man who's in the military.
27:47
Speaker 3: What are they going to say?
27:48
Speaker 6: I wasn't in uniform. They had no idea I was
27:51
Speaker 6: when I was in Hong Kong. When I was in
27:54
Speaker 6: Hong Kong, there is so many different nationalities.
27:58
Speaker 3: But American service people are recognizable not by their uniform
28:02
Speaker 3: but by that buzz cut. See that buzz cut, you know,
28:05
Speaker 3: the flat top haircut. And they look at you and
28:08
Speaker 3: they go, I don't want to argue with this guy,
28:10
Speaker 3: because but there's something here.
28:12
Speaker 6: One that I did notice that I know. We was
28:15
Speaker 6: taught to respect all their ways over there. Of course,
28:19
Speaker 6: I mean walking out of a person's house and walking
28:21
Speaker 6: into a person's soone. I had a lot of Japanese
28:24
Speaker 6: friends when I was in the military, and I would
28:26
Speaker 6: have to take my shoes off going into their house,
28:30
Speaker 6: and when I walked out of their house, I would
28:32
Speaker 6: walk out backwards facing them walking out.
28:35
Speaker 3: Well, I never took my shoes off. Of that. There's
28:38
Speaker 3: only a few things I'm willing to do.
28:40
Speaker 6: Well in the restaurant, you had to in the Expanse restaurant.
28:44
Speaker 6: You had to take your shoes off because the vis
28:46
Speaker 6: you wasn't allowed to go in.
28:47
Speaker 3: These Chinamen can pick a jar head out at one
28:50
Speaker 3: hundred yards, and.
28:52
Speaker 6: We and we can in week in stereo and wee
28:54
Speaker 6: can stereotype a person by looking at them the very
28:57
Speaker 6: first one.
28:58
Speaker 3: But I'm just trying to tell I see.
29:00
Speaker 6: As soon as I see a person not notied, I
29:05
Speaker 6: married a Pacific Islander, Dave, I gotta.
29:07
Speaker 1: I gotta jump in.
29:08
Speaker 2: What do you mean a Chinaman can pick a jar
29:10
Speaker 2: head out of one hundred yards?
29:12
Speaker 3: He knows what I'm talking about.
29:14
Speaker 6: Anybody, anybody could pick a military person out. But that's
29:18
Speaker 6: not true today because you have a lot of people
29:20
Speaker 6: that have short haircut.
29:21
Speaker 3: You said you married a you married.
29:23
Speaker 6: A white Philippine national.
29:24
Speaker 3: Yes, well see that ain't a Chinaman.
29:27
Speaker 6: No, but you're but you're saying Asians. She's a put
29:30
Speaker 6: the islander, Well.
29:31
Speaker 3: She's a Filipino. And so the thing, see they got
29:34
Speaker 3: in the other thing. You gotta understand, and I'm sure
29:37
Speaker 3: you've noticed this. Because of the eye shape, right, they
29:41
Speaker 3: can see their peripheral visions better. Oh yeah, yes, sir,
29:45
Speaker 3: and so to the side.
29:47
Speaker 2: Okay, that's just like all right, see that's no this
29:52
Speaker 2: guy very the statement you're making because you're saying the
29:56
Speaker 2: same thing.
29:56
Speaker 6: I think it was Jimmy the Greek said black people
29:58
Speaker 6: are faster.
29:59
Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no, no no. Jimmy the Greek
30:01
Speaker 3: was a fat He was a fat Greek. What did
30:03
Speaker 3: he know?
30:03
Speaker 6: What's that got to do with any Well, I'm just saying.
30:05
Speaker 3: Because you're married to the Filipino, she can see one
30:08
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty degrees off to the side because of
30:10
Speaker 3: the whole the way the eyes are slid open.
30:12
Speaker 6: Not true the human only The only difference is is
30:17
Speaker 6: you don't care what it is if she is my wife.
30:19
Speaker 3: Yeah.
30:20
Speaker 6: The only difference between my wife and me, that is
30:23
Speaker 6: very distinct difference is I go out in the sun,
30:26
Speaker 6: I get sunburned. She doesn't because sher skin is brown.
30:30
Speaker 6: That's the only difference. She can tolerate the heat a
30:33
Speaker 6: lot better because she doesn't have hair on her arms
30:35
Speaker 6: like we do. Because her body over the years. But
30:38
Speaker 6: your nationality is adapted.
30:40
Speaker 3: You gotta watch it when you're fooling around, you know,
30:42
Speaker 3: like if you're talking to a girl, because she can
30:44
Speaker 3: be looking straight ahead like she's reading the racing form. Man,
30:47
Speaker 3: she knows what you're doing.
30:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, all women, all women know that, Dave, I got
30:54
Speaker 2: to what I have here is a man who's been
30:55
Speaker 2: talking about racism and how we should use chopsticks. Meanwhile,
31:00
Speaker 2: your wife has good peripheral vision because of her slanted eyes.
31:03
Speaker 2: Chinaman can spot a jar head at one hundred yards off.

Speaker 3: These are the questions I asked myself the Phil Henry
32:32
Speaker 3: Show is back.
32:33
Speaker 2: I'm asking you how you can justify that to buy
32:35
Speaker 2: it Phil by simply saying that I am familiar.
32:38
Speaker 3: I know many of the Chinese personally.
32:40
Speaker 1: And no, no, no, no, no, no, no, sir.
32:42
Speaker 2: When you say a Chinaman can spot a jar head,
32:45
Speaker 2: and you know the almond eyes a.
32:48
Speaker 1: One hundred and eighty degree peripheral vision.
32:50
Speaker 2: All of these things stereotypical of a kind of brain
32:54
Speaker 2: dead racism of the middle of the last century.
32:56
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know how to even begin to respond.
33:00
Speaker 3: I'm an educator. Sir.
33:01
Speaker 2: Did you make the comment that that man's Filipino wife,
33:03
Speaker 2: you better watch his step because with those almond shape eyes,
33:05
Speaker 2: she's got one hundred and eighty degree peripheral vision.
33:08
Speaker 3: I do not recall that.
33:09
Speaker 1: No, you didn't say that.
33:11
Speaker 2: I do not recall I heard you say to that
33:13
Speaker 2: gentleman the marine that he's his wife is Filipino. Wife
33:18
Speaker 2: had good peripheral vision because her eyes were shaped funny
33:21
Speaker 2: and you could look out to the side, you said,
33:24
Speaker 2: while she's reading a racing form.
33:28
Speaker 3: Well, that doesn't sound it doesn't sound like something I
33:30
Speaker 3: would say. And I'm telling you I have worked among
33:33
Speaker 3: the Chinese, and all I'm saying is, when you go
33:36
Speaker 3: into a Chinese restaurant, use chopsticks, like you care about
33:40
Speaker 3: something other than yourself to have the selfishness of using
33:44
Speaker 3: a fork. Yeah, thank you very much for the Chinese food.
33:48
Speaker 3: I think I'll chow into it with a fork. You
33:51
Speaker 3: want to have your face leapt, and that's why I
33:54
Speaker 3: slapped it out of that woman's hands. Hey, you know
33:56
Speaker 3: what she wants to go? You know, Hey, she wants
33:59
Speaker 3: to be with me. She's gonna have to uh, you know,
34:02
Speaker 3: woman up, woman up?
34:04
Speaker 1: Huh we had a break again. I can't, I can't.
34:07
Speaker 1: I can't take a call.
34:08
Speaker 2: All right, let me take a Jennifer here, Jennifer, you're
34:10
Speaker 2: on the Phil Henry Show.
34:10
Speaker 1: Go ahead.
34:12
Speaker 7: All I want to know is, if if it's so
34:14
Speaker 7: offensive to use a fork in a knife, then why
34:16
Speaker 7: do they provide them in the restaurants at all?
34:19
Speaker 3: They do?
34:20
Speaker 5: Uh?
34:21
Speaker 3: Because you know, let's put it this way. In your home,
34:26
Speaker 3: all right, you have a mop? Correct, you have them up, ma'am?
34:32
Speaker 7: Okay, all right.
34:33
Speaker 3: You don't want someone to squat in the middle of
34:36
Speaker 3: your kitchen and urinate, but you've got a mop to
34:39
Speaker 3: clean it up.
34:41
Speaker 7: No, that's not why I don't have a mop to
34:44
Speaker 7: clean up urine out of the floor.
34:45
Speaker 3: Well, what are you gonna use?
34:47
Speaker 7: But that's not the that's not the purpose of the mob.
34:52
Speaker 3: That's not the reason why you have cleaning utensils to
34:57
Speaker 3: clean things up. You don't want someone to do that, right, But.
35:00
Speaker 7: If I know something, If I know that, if something
35:02
Speaker 7: is gonna be offensive. If I know that something's gonna
35:05
Speaker 7: be offensive, I'm not gonna have it in my home.
35:07
Speaker 7: And so if a fork and a knife is offensive
35:09
Speaker 7: and a Chinese restaurant, I'm not gonna have it, ma'am.
35:12
Speaker 3: It's offensive to me for someone to.
35:15
Speaker 7: Okay, now there's the issue. It's offensive to you.
35:18
Speaker 3: No, no, I was gonna say it's it would be
35:20
Speaker 3: offensive to me. Like in the movie The Exorcist, so
35:23
Speaker 3: that little girl comes down the stairs and she peys
35:25
Speaker 3: on the rug. That's offensive. But you still have to
35:28
Speaker 3: have some four or nine.
35:31
Speaker 1: Well, wait a minute, man, what are you saying.
35:32
Speaker 2: Are you saying, in other words, that the Chinese, even
35:35
Speaker 2: though they can't stand the thought of having forks and knives,
35:38
Speaker 2: are gonna have them there. That's not the same thing.
35:40
Speaker 2: That's what the lady's saying. If they don't like them,
35:42
Speaker 2: they don't have them.
35:44
Speaker 7: Well, it would be offensive if you walked into the
35:46
Speaker 7: restaurant and pulled out your own fork and knife. But
35:51
Speaker 7: if they have it sitting on the table when you
35:53
Speaker 7: walk up to the table next to your walk, it is.
35:55
Speaker 3: Their way of daring you. It's their way of say,
35:59
Speaker 3: go ahead, I dare you.
36:00
Speaker 5: Okay.
36:00
Speaker 7: Well, one other thing you said, you said you don't
36:02
Speaker 7: take your shoes off when you walk into some you know,
36:05
Speaker 7: Asian homes.
36:06
Speaker 3: I draw the line at that.
36:07
Speaker 7: That is just as offensive as walking in and putting
36:09
Speaker 7: your feet on somebody's coffee tank.
36:11
Speaker 3: Look at I. I draw the line at that because
36:13
Speaker 3: I think at some point the Chinese and the Japanese
36:15
Speaker 3: have got to recognize, you know, let we don't.
36:17
Speaker 7: Pushing your one is.
36:23
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, Jennifer, let the chinaman have what he wants,
36:27
Speaker 3: but don't let him push you around. And especially if
36:30
Speaker 3: you haven't washed your feet. That's a little joke. Yeah, okay,
36:32
Speaker 3: you bill Henri schell, are you sure you exact for
36:35
Speaker 3: the Asian?
36:37
Speaker 1: Well, I will tell you what do you do?
