[Simu Liu] “ I had a great time but this wasn’t cool”



Celebrity All-Star Simu Liu did not enjoy the celebrity lookalike cam where the arena made a questionable comparison for his “lookalike”.

He seemed to enjoy the game but as the screenshot of the lookalike cam went viral it was bound to stir up some drama

    “hey lets find the one asian dude here and say he looks like the other asian dude!”

    this is literally the equivalent of them showing like leo dicaprio and then showing a random white dude who look’s nothing like leo as his lookalike

  2. RandomBiped

    Utah is not beating the allegations this weekend lmao

  3. foofighter1351

    Jesus christ they really openly played the all Asians look the same shit.

  4. Ticonderoga2HB

    Yea that wasn’t it, they thought they were cookin with that

  5. Crafty_Substance_954

    In-game director for the jumbotron not doing a lot for Utah stereotypes.

    Utah not being racist challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

  7. vsouto02

    I’m sure that’s what Utah and the NBA were planning to do in an effort to change the state’s national image.

  8. mems1224

    What an ego boost for that random dude though.

  9. BScottyJ

    Lookalike cams have always been kind of questionable at best to me. I especially always felt bad when a clearly ugly character was put up there and compared with a real person in the crowd. The fact that shit like this happens just makes it worse

  10. Simu (the one affected) literally saying it isn’t cool and there are people still saying it’s all good this isn’t a problem, like seriously what are we doing here

  11. ok131993

    Real talk how long we gonna keep saying its just utah and ignoring shit like this…

    If players can get their careers destroyed or get fined why cant organizations.

    Son of a bitch! I’m so embarrassed of this state. I promise we aren’t all like this, but god dammit I don’t blame everyone for thinking it when shit like this always happens.

  13. DocCharlesXavier

    Oof… how are we still doing this with Asian people man?

    Wonder if this will get coverage or get ignored, like most shitty things to Asians do

  14. forever_sleeping

    yo if the argument is “it’s utah there aren’t many asians” then why the fuck are you doing a Simu Liu lookalike cam lol. easier to not do it than do it and be racist

  15. _ust_ike_uicide

    Man, it must suck for that Asian dude. Like, he’s probably thinking 3 things:

    A) am I being hate-crimed?

    B) am I ugly?

    C) I look like an action star?!

  16. NotAn0pinion

    But for real though, could anybody correctly pick all three in a lineup of Albert Pujols, Fat Joe and Carlos Boozer?

    /s

  17. Cpt-No-Dick

    I think they were just fucking useless at it.

    They chose a random young brunette girl and said she looked like Olivia Rodrigo when she looked nothing like her

  18. fuckrsunsmods

    What else can we expect from the state that the NBA chose Karl Malone to represent

  19. MigzFern

    Let’s see who looks like this asian actor playing…

    LOOK THERE ANOTHER ASIAN IN THE AUDIENCE. ZOOM IN ON HIM.

  20. tanookiben

    Still also wild how they’re leaning in heavily on reppin Karl Malone all weekend too lmao
