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

Classy as always Utah
“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
Utah is not beating the allegations this weekend lmao
God damn that’s bad lmfao
Jesus christ they really openly played the all Asians look the same shit.
Wow
Not even close
You had one job Utah
Yikes thats bad
God damn it Utah
Yea that wasn’t it, they thought they were cookin with that
Wow
I thought Utah has signs outside to remind people not to be racist.
and they do this inside?
edits: Sorry for the misleading info. I just thought of a picture that the Utah governor and some people holding anti-racism [signs](https://www.deseret.com/utah/2020/12/15/22176417/news-george-floyd-systemic-racism-compact-systemic-racism-governor-gary-herbert-salt-lake-county) outside. I should be more specific.
In-game director for the jumbotron not doing a lot for Utah stereotypes.
Utah lmaoooo
yeah seriously that shit’s racist
Utah not being racist challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Fucking Utah 😭😭
That some racist shit right there
I’m sure that’s what Utah and the NBA were planning to do in an effort to change the state’s national image.
goddamnit utah this was your chance
[Did I not *just* read an article about how Utah looks to change perceptions at the All-Star game?](https://apnews.com/article/golden-state-warriors-dallas-mavericks-nba-politics-sports-3b111d23f9103dc7e5501aec09699eeb)
Utah Jazz moment
Classic utah
What an ego boost for that random dude though.
Keep it jazzy, Utah
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
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
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.
Utah lmao
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.
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
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
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?!
But for real though, could anybody correctly pick all three in a lineup of Albert Pujols, Fat Joe and Carlos Boozer?
/s
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
What else can we expect from the state that the NBA chose Karl Malone to represent
Let’s see who looks like this asian actor playing…
LOOK THERE ANOTHER ASIAN IN THE AUDIENCE. ZOOM IN ON HIM.
Still also wild how they’re leaning in heavily on reppin Karl Malone all weekend too lmao
