He saw Miley Cyrus with the same haircut, and said, "hey, I can pull that off!" He also only wears glasses on the show. I'm sure that's to make himself look smarter.
If I ran into him somewhere I'd cut his hair and take whatever I got charged with gracefully. I'd love to get him with the jackass clipper attack, just worse
I believe it’s called “the smug, fart sniffing, know it all douchebag” look. I don’t know for sure I’m not a barber or have I ever asked for such a stupid haircut myself
The part where he points out 70% of black people can't swim is just amazing. In attempting to dispell the nasty stereotype he accidentally proved it correct. I didn't even know the number was really that high!
Was that a Jewish joke? "Jewish people liked basketball because the equipment was generally inexpensive and doesn't require a field." Adam makes a cheap jew joke and calls them unathletic, but he's woke and a black guy wrote that line so it's okay
When are we going to realize that Jews aren't a race, they're a religion? It's sort of like calling all Asians... Asian... Except, using their religion instead of their continent. Anyways, he did say, "poor" Jewish people, so the money part made sense to his statement... The field one, however, seems like a definite jab at jews
I stopped watching this episode when they said nobody but Asians were interred. My Italian grandparents were. My grandfather was forced to close his business, and they were moved to an apartment where they could be watched. But nobody ever mentions this. My grandfather came here when he was 16 because his father had passed away when he was a child and both of his brothers died in WW1, so his mom sent him to live with his uncle. My grandmother was the first in her family to be born here. That their loss of their rights is ignored deeply disturbs me. Since I stopped the episode, yes please do a video on the 2nd half.
@@LizRealGirlBeauty Yeah, I get it. Your grandparents were oppressed and interned and I'm sorry about that. There are a lot of forgotten victims from WWII. For example, no one speaks of the rape of German women by the Russians during WWII. No one speaks of the innocent victims who perished in the firebombings of Dresden and Tokyo. There was no justice for them and they are forgotten victims, just like your grandparents. That's the unfortunate reality.
Adam ruins everything has always been very intentional on who was lecturing who. There is a hierarchy of minority on this show, if they're black they take precedence over him, but if they are female, it depends on another minority status. I've never been able to watch it without feeling like I was being brainwashed.
He is just a cuck for minorities, I don't know why anyone would spend even a minute watching anything like this. I haven't watched television in so many years I don't understand how anyone can piss away so much time on it...
@@daa589the funny thing is that if you let kids get into water they’ll figure it out. Just gotta show them a video or two of Michael Phelps or those underwater ballet teams
@@TheWizardGamez I got sat on while in a pool when i was young (couldnt really swim at the time) and was forced underwater, grew up being very scared of being in water thanks to that yet despite that I still managed to teach myself how to swim (and go on to do those types of marathon style swimming things) later on, just sat down watched a video on people swimming mimicked the movements then went to try it, figured air in lungs would keep me floating (thanks memories of trying to submerge a balloon) did the movements i had practiced and boom was swimming. took a lil while to get good at it but ye it worked out. but I guess that must be some kind of white privilege or something that gave me the ability instead
granted if I didnt live in a pretty coastal country (sweden) and didnt have a ton of friends that would drag me off to the beach each summer(spent a lot of time tanning) I probably wouldnt have felt too much need to learn although i think what actually pushed me to learn was that I kept being invited to fishing trips and the slight panic i had every time I was on a ferry
I'm no fan of Adam, but I think the point he's making with that remark is that Jews at that time were often new immigrants, and therefore very poor, so they wouldn't have had the financial means to participate in any sport that wasn't cheap. This was certainly true of my own grandparents. My father told me that he hated going to the dentist, because novocaine cost extra and his mom just couldn't pay for it, so he had to have his teeth filled without the aid of painkillers. I guess his mom was being cheap, but she was also very poor, so she didn't really have any alternative.
@@christiehorsley549 The point was that he rushes in saying sitcoms love making stereotypes and then says they shouldn't do them because they have a dark history and that 70% of black people can't swim. Then goes on to say that jewish people were good at basketball because it was cheap. They have some truth to them but why is one wrong to say and the other not wrong to say.
But apparently black people can make jokes about themselves and mock white stereotypes all the time, but we make one joke about a black stereotype then im a racist piece of shit.
Yup. Boondocks come to mind. Run on black stereotypes and written by black guys. Shows making a right use of stereotypes are probably the best ones. South Park is my favourite.
Level headed? The dude fucking pissed and straw man the shit out of the last segment. Apparently saying America is responsible for a few stereotypes is the same as saying America is evil and responsible for everything.

I used to like Adam Ruins Everything for his first few "debunks" until he tried to debunk illegal immigration and voter fraud. The stat he used that made me start looking at his claims more skeptically was when he said that "Only 40% of undocumented immigrants enter through the land border; most come through airplanes! A wall won't solve the undocumented immigrant problem." To which I thought "...So you're saying that a wall would be able to stop up to 40% of the currently entering illegals? Isn't that... still pretty good?" And he pulled the same bullshit 'trick' with the "black people can't swim" stats in this episode. Please tackle part 2. It's great. (By which I mean it's terrible as well)
Throw out your television, stop watching trash like this until it does something you don't like. It sounds like you agreed with what this clown said until one of the woke subjects bothered you, it's all crap!
I don't understand why the hell all of you guys are literally talking about how much you want to beat up another man just because of his appearance and his voice, he wasn't able to choose this shit, I won't say that your mothers should have swallowed you, but you really should have calmed down for fucks sake.
i agree, me as being a person whos father is japanese and mother is italian, i get highly offended when the left worships FDR... did he have good economic policies? maybe i dont know... but does the left ever bring up the fact that fdr would have throw me into interment camps? nah they leave that out... and then they support systematic racism against me in the likes of affirmative action... it makes me sick and i left the left for this reason... they clearly dont have my best interest in mind...
5 ปีที่แล้ว
King Koopa his economic policies only worked because we went into WWII and won so we reaped the benefits of employing the entire population to produce stuff for the war. And yes, you do get fucked over on the affirmative action side. You are a minority but not in the eyes of the left. I love Asians because they destroy the lefts argument for white supremacy. Most East Asian groups blow whites out of the water with test scores, income, etc
Adam has that “I want to spend 1 year of my life doing nothing but lifting weights just to get strong and punch this guy as hard as I possibly can in the face” face.
I have to disagree with one point: a "concentration camp" doesn't imply mass murder or genocide. It's simply a place to concentrate a specific demographic for control and internment. What the Nazis ran were Death Camps which they sold to the general population as simple concentration camps in order to mitigate the "Jewish Menace". I'm not excusing the internment of Japanese-Americans during WW II or any other group that has suffered through that type of injustice, just pointing out the modern misconception of the term "concentration camp".
@@ActualJusticeWarrior You're wrong. Even FDR referred to the Japanese American camps as "concentration camps." After WWII, the Jewish community wanted the Japanese American community and others to stop using the term "concentration camp"...just like many black people today don't like the gay community using the term "civil rights" to describe their struggles because they don't see the extent of their oppression as equivalent. However, it doesn't change the fact that "civil rights" is the appropriate phrase and it doesn't change the fact that "concentration camp" is still officially an accurate and legitimate term.
FatherTime89 Did you watch the same thing I did? Because he condemned the idea of racial stereotypes while also portraying white people as stereotypically racist. Also, the entire premise of the episode is that stereotypes in sitcoms are just an unholy epidemic that need to be solved when that is completely subjective. This whole episode is just one big virtue signal. How is this NOT race baiting?
MrManDude he never stereotyped white people as anything. Nor did he say that stereotypes in sitcoms were an epidemic. Did you watch the original episode or just someone like this guy’s straw man filled rebuttal?
But he clearly did stereotype white people as racist. The black writer basically tells the white director that stereotypes are only funny to him because he is white. And those basketball skits? Do you think they had a white guy portray the racist on accident? And come on, what about that part where they all say the only reason the Germans weren't put into camps was because they were white? Even if they weren't, how could you possibly know THATS the reason why, with all of the differing factors? How can you honestly say to yourself that this isn't race baiting? I'll admit, I haven't seen the episode, but regardless of what this guy says, I've seen enough to know this is race baiting. There is no context that could make this anything else. When you downplay injustices German Americans faced to suit your narrative that only non white people had it bad, THAT is race baiting. Also, if what he said was all a bunch of straw men arguments, how were they? Like I said, I haven't seen the episode, so you might be right. I won't rule that out. But I want to know how. So far, you've only given me semantic arguments. "Oh, they never called it an epidemic, so clearly they aren't saying its a big deal". Yeah they are. It's the point of the whole episode.
Ninja Named Bob no it’s not. The person who’s busting down these stereotypes and saying why they’re bad is ALSO white. You’re like the SJWs who see racism in everything only it’s against white people
Sorry man! I really love you shows but cannot finish this one. I loved Adam ruins everything when it first came out. It has just degraded itself down to absolute trash lately. Adam ruins everything is so much trash I can't even watch someone else talking about how much garbage it is! Now if we could edit out all of Adam talking I could tolerate seeing him. Just can't stand hearing him talking anymore! Until next time!
Adams ruins everything has always been trash. I LOVE watching tear downs of his schlock. I usually prefer vitriolic rants, I've not really seen a thoughtful rebuttal type video.
Much like Snopes, Adam is actually spreading misinformation, in the guise of a fact checker. What happened to left wing comedy? I laughed more passing a kidney stone
One of the reasons for the downfall of Adam ruins everything lies in its name: "everything". Not everything can be ruined, but he tries to anyway because that's the catch of the show. He can't change direction and start praising things for being done right, that's not the product he's selling. Since he's been running out of material for a long time, he has to resort to ridiculing things that don't deserve ridicule. The other reason is of course that most of the things that deserve ridicule these days come from the left, but as a leftist himself Adam can't see the shit stains on his knees, he won't call them out, thus instead he joins the SJW bandwagon.
@JD jitsu I've watched most of season one and two of Rick and Morty and it's actually pretty lax on the buzzwords, it only gets bad by season 3 because that's when the writing team changed and became more "diverse".
Snopes has gone the same way as Google with its searches and even I feel their picture search...stuff believed to be truth seeking is now only political justification based on ideas and ideals. It's more scary to me that this is considered truthful media, and if you don't agree you're a Nazi, and if lucky a racist, evil white man raciss
Sean, awesome video! And thanks for addressing the Japanese internment bit of Adam's video. I just wanted to add some things that Adam also lied about. During World War II there was no wave of hatred towards Asian people. It was very specifically aimed at the Japanese. Japan's genocidal war in China with the rape of Nanking in 1937 specifically drummed up American distain towards Japan but also drummed up sympathy for the Chinese. After Pearl Harbor the government made sure that propaganda was very specific to Japan not just "Asia". Part of the reason we were in the war at all was to help China fight off Japanese imperialism as well as stop in the the rest of Asia and the Pacific.
They were, and they were actually improving as time went on. Then the government in all their wisdom decided they weren't doing well enough fast enough and implemented the welfare state. It was all downhill from there.
Segregation was going on at the time so not super great. Better than slavery. Though it depends on definition of good. I have a friend who studies history and he might know more.
This is what my history studing friend said "A mixed bag. More were business owners than today. There is parts of the US where blacks were equal to whites but suddenly lost their equal rights. Michigan's law prohibiting interracial marriage wasn't passed until 1925. Segregation existed before the 20s but it wasn't until around then that you had segregated hospital wards and courtrooms making blacks and whites take oaths on different bibles. The book "the strange career of Jim crow" documents that southerners attempted integrating with blacks in the late 1800s but segregation got worst in the early 1900s. In the fifties, segregationalists upheld a myth that jim crow laws came at the end of the civil war as a way to bring order to chaos. "The strange career of J.C." refutes that myth. Also, 1920s was a bad period of race riots. Look up the burning of black wall street." You might not even see this but hope that sheds some light
Great video! I am from Germany and didn't even know about the internment of German and Italian people in the US. For me, the worst part of this episode of "Adam ruins everything" is the fact that he uses the term "concentration camp" for the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII. I've seen concentration camps in Germany and can tell that Adam obviously doesn't have a clue what he is talking about. The people there were tortured, experimented on, starved, killed, and cremated. It was one of the darkest times in human history and to use that term in this way is just disgusting.
I remember my first time swimming in water that I couldn’t stand up in. My grandfather took me to the creek next to the Ohio river. We(mostly him and I was helping) were fishing on the dock sticking out into the water. I told him something along the lines “I don’t thing I can swim in this water because I wouldn’t reach the bottom.” My grandfather looked at me, reeled in his line, sat his pole down, picked me up and threw me in. I don’t remember a lot after that but I do remember my grand grandfather saying “Learn quick, you get swept out to the river, we’re gonna have to call the coast guard to pick you up.” Next thing I know I was back at shore where my dad and grandfather were laughing and my mom was yelling at both of them.
Adam is one of the most punchable people I've ever encountered.. How could anyone watch this show? Ever since the first time I saw him I despised him. So irritating.
Yes, please do more ARE episodes. I find it particularly egregious that he pushes agendas when he promotes himself as a purely fact based show. It sickens me. That is the one thing I abhor most in the world, willful misinformation.
Thank you. You're doing the work Adam is supposed to be doing. Especially wrt concentration camps, German Americans in WW1, and the blame-America-first tone.
A japanese guy living in the philppines in the 40s wrote a book about how, as a young teenager, he joined the japanese forces that invaded davao, where there was a large japanese population. Before the invasion, he had worked for a spanish lady and had filipino friends and classmates. He helped them when he could using his connections but remained loyal to japan because 1. He was japanese regardless of having spent most of his life in the philippines and 2. Betraying his country wouldve been dangerous for him. Being friends with locals and loyal to ones homeland is normal behavior isnt it? Im just bringing this up cause i cant understand why the temporary imprisonment of japanese americans in ww2 was considered racist, even on a libertarian channel. Maybe it was illegal and was done by racist people, but what was racist about the imprisonment itself? Everybody talks about how no spies were caught this way. If some had, would that have made it less racist? Honest question, not race baiting or anything. It just seems like common sense.
Because the policy included anyone who was 1/16th Japanese or more. It included second and third generation Japanese Americans who had no connections to Japan. The government took away Japanese American homes, their businesses, and their personal property without compensating them (Reagan gave symbolic reparations in the 1980s, but that didn't make up for it).
@@jacqueline716 i dont think that addresses the points i raised. Mainly, is it racist to be suspicious of people with connections to your enemy? The particular policy that follows isnt really what im asking about i guess, especially because even good ideas can lead to bad policies. That said, i personally dont see the harm in temporary imprisonment as a precaution but taking their businesses etc is going too far because after the war they should be able to go back to their private lives. Put another way, is this considered racist in the same way as racial profiling at airports or whatever? If so, then i understand the issue.
Adam Confirms the accuracy of human pattern recognition. The science of sports TED talk is very illuminating on how biology impacts success in sports. It's not just "blacks weren't allowed to swim, it's also their physiology Another one is ACT trends by racial group were Asians out due everyone in math-sciences were it comes closer to normal with language. So with the blacks can swim it's a subconscious recognition that most black people can't swim, no real genetic implications just a recognition of the general trend. I didn't even know that it was *that* stark either, I just figured less black people knew how to swim. The same occurs with Asians it's a recognition that generally if you were forced to guess the best math students in a class betting on the Asians is a safe bet. But once imagine the social constructivists, science deniers that make up the college humor/Adam ruins everything viewer base comes to the conclusion that the disparities between groups are a result of governmental policy with no account for competency. Like with their argument that "poor people play basketball, so blacks are better at basketball because their poor" falls apart with the over-representation of black people in football. You need the space of a field and luxury of being able to afford equipment something black people gave neither of on Adams infantile perception of the world.
I mean black people do have a natural tendency to not be able to swim as well though... They biological have a denser bone structure.. even David goggins brings this up a lot and he's faced more racism than everyone in all of his videos. 🤷♂️
Another great vid. This show adds sources to their "facts" so when people see it they automatically thinks its backed by evidence. But you call bullshit and actually look into those sources and tear it apart. You're better at this shit than 90% of all content creators on here. Keep up the good fuckin work man.
I used to enjoy adam ruins everything, I stopped watching a long time ago, seeing this I am much more inclined to avoid everything by that racist show.
This terrifies me. I am so worried that my future children won’t even know real history. I worry that these lies will just keep getting repeated over and over until it becomes part of “history”. What happens when our historians become to scared to write accurate history books, and instead, just kowtow to the social justice warriors? I hope people wake up soon and quit this call out culture.
Dunno. simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_camp lists also 1800s Native American "reservations" in that category. Whatever is the case, AJW's understanding is unnecessarily narrow here. Although I'm pretty sure ARE used such term specifically for the added shock value it holds due to the Nazi camps.
and it much also be impossible to learn to swim unless you are taught as a child... clearly why nobody learnt to swim after the segregation was removed.
@@obvious_failiure5764 my Dad and both of his parents could not swim but my mother thought it was important for my siblings and I learn, so we swim very well. We grew up swimming in lakes and ponds. I can probably count on one hand how many times I swam in a public pool before the time I was 18.
Clearly, you didn't understand anything, Joseph. It's not because their ancestors couldn't swim. It was because pools were not as accessible to black people. Even oceans weren't very accessible to black people since they resided in the inner cities.
"BUT! It gave preference to immigrants who had training, talents, or skillsets that would benefit the US economy." He says that like it's a bad thing. Are we supposed to let in people who aren't going to benefit us just because?
Keep doing Adam ruins everything.. Also put them in categories like :Credibility, honesty ect so that we can see the progression when we get to the inevitable series finale: Adam Ruins his career
Probably the best video I have seen from you. Or maybe it's just that you always make good content lol I also learned new things i didn't have a clue about as well man good stuff. Please make the part 2 you have my blessing.
German Americans were also discriminated against, as were Italian Americans. Both were interned, my family hid our German heritage until 1995 due to German discrimination. Also a Japanese pilot who was involved in Pearl was shot down and assisted by Japanese residents. That was one of the reasons to the Japanese internment. Right, wrong or indifferent it happened but it was a far cry from the NSDAP camps. The two are comparable in only the fact both had camp in their names and held people in against their will. Other then that they aren’t even remotely similar. I was born in 1986, when my grandmother died in 1995 we were sitting around her kitchen and my dad and uncle were talking and said “well it’s been long enough, we’re German” I always though we were just irish. He said his parents and grandparents hid their ancestry due to discrimination during “the war” not sure which war started it, I guess WWI with WWII cementing it. My great grandparents would have likely started in WWI and my grandparents in WWII, despite me being born in 86’ most of my cousins were born between the late 50’s(when my dad was born) and early 70’s.
Great video! Love to see the second half, sadly it seems people who supposedly are mainstream trying to make things better are just dividing us and making it worst.
When I was in the Marine Corps we had to swim qual. And there were always dark green Marines having issues qualifying. I don't know why, just what I saw.
Adam Ruins Everything used to okay. I remember one about charity food, where the charities were saying that food drives are actually very inefficient way of giving to charity. This was because they can do more with the money (bulk buy), and don't need to sort the food. Then he started getting really political, and videos like his just make you angry because they are complete strawmen, and often contain lies, which he must have deliberately included for his narrative.
Almost every public school in America has a swimming pool and there are many public pools, so no one can say that they don't have access a place to learn how to swim.
Regarding the internment of racial groups other than the Japanese during WWII, it happened to Italian Americans as well on the West Coast. A book was written about it full of interviews with those interred. "The Unknown Internment" by Stephen C. Fox. Yes, it was nowhere near as rampant as it was with the Japanese, but racism was one of the factors in doing it.
New subscriber here, so thankful that someone out there is debunking Adam ruins everything I was noticing some of his facts were a bit off in his recent stuff
Adam actually enforced the stereotype that black people can't swim... I wasn't even really aware of that stereotype, but not only did he introduce me to it, but he then gave me statistics to back it up, and then told me people knowing those statistics are wrong.
I actually used to think James Corden and Adam Ruins Everything were the same person. Not because they both look the same, but because they both sniff their own farts and they aren't funny.
Excellent video, I'm new to your channel and have been enjoying your content so far but I'm extremely impressed with your mentioning the European-American internment in both World Wars. Nobody ever does, I'm not sure most even know the Germans were interred in the Great War. The Espionage Act of 1917 effectively made it illegal to be German or oppose the War. I'm not saying that's any worse off than the Japanese had it but it's important to remember that it isn't just race related.
11:05 If you read papers from the time, the biggest complaint about the Chinese immigrants of _that_ era was their refusal to learn English or attempt to assimilate _at all_ into mainstream society. Look at the Wyoming rail way problems with the Eastern European immigrants vs Chinese. It was not pretty on either side.

In the military you hear every joke under the sun and nobody gets offended.
But apparently black people can make jokes about themselves and mock white stereotypes all the time, but we make one joke about a black stereotype then im a racist piece of shit.
@@miguelzurita3216 its calls they hold the gun sideways
That stereotype about blacks loving chicken - I never understood why this stereotype is supposed to be offensive - chicken is delicious.
Okay so I'm only asking this because of the statistic in the video, but can you swim?
Yup. Boondocks come to mind. Run on black stereotypes and written by black guys. Shows making a right use of stereotypes are probably the best ones. South Park is my favourite.
MCMaterac Boondocks is Gangstalicious-ly hilarious!!!
Don’t forget poor old Apu over at the Simpsons, may he Rest In Peace. 😔
Another great video analysis. If you were any more level-headed, we could use you for a coffee table.
😂I've never heard that gonna use it for sure..
Level headed? The dude fucking pissed and straw man the shit out of the last segment. Apparently saying America is responsible for a few stereotypes is the same as saying America is evil and responsible for everything.

I used to like Adam Ruins Everything for his first few "debunks" until he tried to debunk illegal immigration and voter fraud. The stat he used that made me start looking at his claims more skeptically was when he said that "Only 40% of undocumented immigrants enter through the land border; most come through airplanes! A wall won't solve the undocumented immigrant problem." To which I thought "...So you're saying that a wall would be able to stop up to 40% of the currently entering illegals? Isn't that... still pretty good?" And he pulled the same bullshit 'trick' with the "black people can't swim" stats in this episode. Please tackle part 2. It's great. (By which I mean it's terrible as well)
It’s actually 40 percent he said that came in on plane meaning building a wall would stop 60 percent
@@Data-Expungeded Well that just makes his crap even worse! lol
Throw out your television, stop watching trash like this until it does something you don't like. It sounds like you agreed with what this clown said until one of the woke subjects bothered you, it's all crap!
Adam might have the most punchable face ever. 👊
K Dworak I cannot agree more! I just hope his voice makes some noise as the punches fly, I imagine a squeaky toy sound...
He holds the #1 spot for me as most punchable
. His hair, the stupid faces he makes and his smug attitude.
Fuck, I hate this dude.
I would buy a ticket to punch him in the face.
certainly the most cut-able hair.
I don't understand why the hell all of you guys are literally talking about how much you want to beat up another man just because of his appearance and his voice, he wasn't able to choose this shit, I won't say that your mothers should have swallowed you, but you really should have calmed down for fucks sake.
I had no idea that German people were interned. Thank you!
More You Know!
@ I just enjoy pointing out that it was their progressive hero FDR, who interned them.
i agree, me as being a person whos father is japanese and mother is italian, i get highly offended when the left worships FDR... did he have good economic policies? maybe i dont know... but does the left ever bring up the fact that fdr would have throw me into interment camps? nah they leave that out... and then they support systematic racism against me in the likes of affirmative action... it makes me sick and i left the left for this reason... they clearly dont have my best interest in mind...
King Koopa his economic policies only worked because we went into WWII and won so we reaped the benefits of employing the entire population to produce stuff for the war.
And yes, you do get fucked over on the affirmative action side. You are a minority but not in the eyes of the left. I love Asians because they destroy the lefts argument for white supremacy. Most East Asian groups blow whites out of the water with test scores, income, etc
Actual Justice Warrior will you do a video on the young Turks and their genocide denial?
That DBZ clip made me smash like. Great job on everything else as always, bro.
Adam has that “I want to spend 1 year of my life doing nothing but lifting weights just to get strong and punch this guy as hard as I possibly can in the face” face.
I dont think you need that honestly, he looks like the type of guy to crumple over a slight papercut
"These jokes aren't so funny when you realize that these stereotypes have a really dark history"
That's part of what makes them funny though.
most of comedy is in fact trying to find humour in dark places
I have to disagree with one point: a "concentration camp" doesn't imply mass murder or genocide. It's simply a place to concentrate a specific demographic for control and internment. What the Nazis ran were Death Camps which they sold to the general population as simple concentration camps in order to mitigate the "Jewish Menace".
I'm not excusing the internment of Japanese-Americans during WW II or any other group that has suffered through that type of injustice, just pointing out the modern misconception of the term "concentration camp".
It might not mean that, but it does imply it based on the history. You can just look at what they are typically called when not in Nazi Germany
@@ActualJusticeWarrior You're wrong. Even FDR referred to the Japanese American camps as "concentration camps." After WWII, the Jewish community wanted the Japanese American community and others to stop using the term "concentration camp"...just like many black people today don't like the gay community using the term "civil rights" to describe their struggles because they don't see the extent of their oppression as equivalent. However, it doesn't change the fact that "civil rights" is the appropriate phrase and it doesn't change the fact that "concentration camp" is still officially an accurate and legitimate term.
Every camp the US liberated was found to be a concentration camp just like the ones the US had.
While pointing out racial stereotypes they literally used a racial stereotype of the Angry White Guy.
“A population that is way less likely to know how to swim.. is way less likely to drown.” LoL @ u having to point that out 😆
You are quickly becoming one of my favorite TH-camrs. Please do the second part of the episode, this was highly informative as well as entertaining.
*_Absolutely_* go through with part 2 of this. Hold AREs feet to the flame and debunk the rest of this race-bating segment, pls :)
How was it race baiting? He was saying racial stereotypes are bullshit, and not blaming anything on a race.
FatherTime89 Did you watch the same thing I did? Because he condemned the idea of racial stereotypes while also portraying white people as stereotypically racist. Also, the entire premise of the episode is that stereotypes in sitcoms are just an unholy epidemic that need to be solved when that is completely subjective. This whole episode is just one big virtue signal. How is this NOT race baiting?
MrManDude he never stereotyped white people as anything. Nor did he say that stereotypes in sitcoms were an epidemic. Did you watch the original episode or just someone like this guy’s straw man filled rebuttal?
But he clearly did stereotype white people as racist. The black writer basically tells the white director that stereotypes are only funny to him because he is white. And those basketball skits? Do you think they had a white guy portray the racist on accident? And come on, what about that part where they all say the only reason the Germans weren't put into camps was because they were white? Even if they weren't, how could you possibly know THATS the reason why, with all of the differing factors? How can you honestly say to yourself that this isn't race baiting? I'll admit, I haven't seen the episode, but regardless of what this guy says, I've seen enough to know this is race baiting. There is no context that could make this anything else. When you downplay injustices German Americans faced to suit your narrative that only non white people had it bad, THAT is race baiting.
Also, if what he said was all a bunch of straw men arguments, how were they? Like I said, I haven't seen the episode, so you might be right. I won't rule that out. But I want to know how. So far, you've only given me semantic arguments. "Oh, they never called it an epidemic, so clearly they aren't saying its a big deal". Yeah they are. It's the point of the whole episode.
Ninja Named Bob no it’s not. The person who’s busting down these stereotypes and saying why they’re bad is ALSO white. You’re like the SJWs who see racism in everything only it’s against white people
A NEW Actual Justice Warrior vid! Congrats on all the new subs, my man! You deserve them!
“The person who is responsible for where you are, can be found in a mirror.” Best quote ever😂
Sorry man! I really love you shows but cannot finish this one. I loved Adam ruins everything when it first came out. It has just degraded itself down to absolute trash lately. Adam ruins everything is so much trash I can't even watch someone else talking about how much garbage it is!
Now if we could edit out all of Adam talking I could tolerate seeing him. Just can't stand hearing him talking anymore!
Until next time!
Adams ruins everything has always been trash. I LOVE watching tear downs of his schlock. I usually prefer vitriolic rants, I've not really seen a thoughtful rebuttal type video.
Tasty treats! Hahaha that’s a great name... “are we the tasty treats?!”
Adam ruins everything including the youtube channels that talk about Adam ruining everything
Lol I found this extremely easy to watch.

Much like Snopes, Adam is actually spreading misinformation, in the guise of a fact checker.
What happened to left wing comedy? I laughed more passing a kidney stone
Left-wing...comedy?
It died somewhere around 2016
@@danconrad920 As did my leftism.
One of the reasons for the downfall of Adam ruins everything lies in its name: "everything". Not everything can be ruined, but he tries to anyway because that's the catch of the show. He can't change direction and start praising things for being done right, that's not the product he's selling. Since he's been running out of material for a long time, he has to resort to ridiculing things that don't deserve ridicule.
The other reason is of course that most of the things that deserve ridicule these days come from the left, but as a leftist himself Adam can't see the shit stains on his knees, he won't call them out, thus instead he joins the SJW bandwagon.
@JD jitsu I've watched most of season one and two of Rick and Morty and it's actually pretty lax on the buzzwords, it only gets bad by season 3 because that's when the writing team changed and became more "diverse".
Snopes has gone the same way as Google with its searches and even I feel their picture search...stuff believed to be truth seeking is now only political justification based on ideas and ideals. It's more scary to me that this is considered truthful media, and if you don't agree you're a Nazi, and if lucky a racist, evil white man raciss
Sean, awesome video! And thanks for addressing the Japanese internment bit of Adam's video. I just wanted to add some things that Adam also lied about. During World War II there was no wave of hatred towards Asian people. It was very specifically aimed at the Japanese. Japan's genocidal war in China with the rape of Nanking in 1937 specifically drummed up American distain towards Japan but also drummed up sympathy for the Chinese. After Pearl Harbor the government made sure that propaganda was very specific to Japan not just "Asia". Part of the reason we were in the war at all was to help China fight off Japanese imperialism as well as stop in the the rest of Asia and the Pacific.

#Farmlands stop being so racist!
I'd like to hear about the history of black people after 1890 and before 1930. I hear black people were doing very well.
They were, and they were actually improving as time went on. Then the government in all their wisdom decided they weren't doing well enough fast enough and implemented the welfare state. It was all downhill from there.
Segregation was going on at the time so not super great. Better than slavery. Though it depends on definition of good.
I have a friend who studies history and he might know more.
This is what my history studing friend said
"A mixed bag. More were business owners than today. There is parts of the US where blacks were equal to whites but suddenly lost their equal rights.
Michigan's law prohibiting interracial marriage wasn't passed until 1925. Segregation existed before the 20s but it wasn't until around then that you had segregated hospital wards and courtrooms making blacks and whites take oaths on different bibles.
The book "the strange career of Jim crow" documents that southerners attempted integrating with blacks in the late 1800s but segregation got worst in the early 1900s.
In the fifties, segregationalists upheld a myth that jim crow laws came at the end of the civil war as a way to bring order to chaos. "The strange career of J.C." refutes that myth.
Also, 1920s was a bad period of race riots. Look up the burning of black wall street."
You might not even see this but hope that sheds some light
The whole, "racist jokes make you racist," is just a spin on the "video games make you violent," cliche.
Great video! I am from Germany and didn't even know about the internment of German and Italian people in the US. For me, the worst part of this episode of "Adam ruins everything" is the fact that he uses the term "concentration camp" for the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII. I've seen concentration camps in Germany and can tell that Adam obviously doesn't have a clue what he is talking about. The people there were tortured, experimented on, starved, killed, and cremated. It was one of the darkest times in human history and to use that term in this way is just disgusting.
I remember my first time swimming in water that I couldn’t stand up in. My grandfather took me to the creek next to the Ohio river. We(mostly him and I was helping) were fishing on the dock sticking out into the water. I told him something along the lines “I don’t thing I can swim in this water because I wouldn’t reach the bottom.” My grandfather looked at me, reeled in his line, sat his pole down, picked me up and threw me in. I don’t remember a lot after that but I do remember my grand grandfather saying “Learn quick, you get swept out to the river, we’re gonna have to call the coast guard to pick you up.” Next thing I know I was back at shore where my dad and grandfather were laughing and my mom was yelling at both of them.

Adam is one of the most punchable people I've ever encountered.. How could anyone watch this show?
Ever since the first time I saw him I despised him. So irritating.
Adam simply lives in the wrong era. If we could only send him back about 150 years, he would have some things to teach the world
Yes, please do more ARE episodes. I find it particularly egregious that he pushes agendas when he promotes himself as a purely fact based show. It sickens me. That is the one thing I abhor most in the world, willful misinformation.
Television is just a propaganda machine, everything from sitcoms to the news is scripted to warp society...
I’ve been working in film and TV my entire adult life.
I’ve never once seen a TV director wearing a suit and tie on set.
Thank you. You're doing the work Adam is supposed to be doing. Especially wrt concentration camps, German Americans in WW1, and the blame-America-first tone.
You might as well make a part 2. That’s the only way I’m going to watch the second half of the Adam Ruins Everything episode
A japanese guy living in the philppines in the 40s wrote a book about how, as a young teenager, he joined the japanese forces that invaded davao, where there was a large japanese population. Before the invasion, he had worked for a spanish lady and had filipino friends and classmates.
He helped them when he could using his connections but remained loyal to japan because 1. He was japanese regardless of having spent most of his life in the philippines and 2. Betraying his country wouldve been dangerous for him.
Being friends with locals and loyal to ones homeland is normal behavior isnt it? Im just bringing this up cause i cant understand why the temporary imprisonment of japanese americans in ww2 was considered racist, even on a libertarian channel. Maybe it was illegal and was done by racist people, but what was racist about the imprisonment itself? Everybody talks about how no spies were caught this way. If some had, would that have made it less racist?
Honest question, not race baiting or anything. It just seems like common sense.
@New Outlook inc not sure i follow. Bigoted against whom and why? And why not racist?
Because the policy included anyone who was 1/16th Japanese or more. It included second and third generation Japanese Americans who had no connections to Japan. The government took away Japanese American homes, their businesses, and their personal property without compensating them (Reagan gave symbolic reparations in the 1980s, but that didn't make up for it).
@@jacqueline716 i dont think that addresses the points i raised. Mainly, is it racist to be suspicious of people with connections to your enemy? The particular policy that follows isnt really what im asking about i guess, especially because even good ideas can lead to bad policies. That said, i personally dont see the harm in temporary imprisonment as a precaution but taking their businesses etc is going too far because after the war they should be able to go back to their private lives.
Put another way, is this considered racist in the same way as racial profiling at airports or whatever? If so, then i understand the issue.
@@subsonic9854 Yeah dude, it's racist because they had *NO* connections to the enemy.
@@jacqueline716 ok got it, thanks!
"Why didn't you intern Germans during WW2?" Well, just look back to WW1 then, I grew up between 2 former WW1 German internment camps.
Did they really have to make an episode dedicated to showing that Adam ruins comedy?
Adam Confirms the accuracy of human pattern recognition.
The science of sports TED talk is very illuminating on how biology impacts success in sports. It's not just "blacks weren't allowed to swim, it's also their physiology
Another one is ACT trends by racial group were Asians out due everyone in math-sciences were it comes closer to normal with language.
So with the blacks can swim it's a subconscious recognition that most black people can't swim, no real genetic implications just a recognition of the general trend. I didn't even know that it was *that* stark either, I just figured less black people knew how to swim.
The same occurs with Asians it's a recognition that generally if you were forced to guess the best math students in a class betting on the Asians is a safe bet.
But once imagine the social constructivists, science deniers that make up the college humor/Adam ruins everything viewer base comes to the conclusion that the disparities between groups are a result of governmental policy with no account for competency.
Like with their argument that "poor people play basketball, so blacks are better at basketball because their poor" falls apart with the over-representation of black people in football. You need the space of a field and luxury of being able to afford equipment something black people gave neither of on Adams infantile perception of the world.
I mean black people do have a natural tendency to not be able to swim as well though... They biological have a denser bone structure.. even David goggins brings this up a lot and he's faced more racism than everyone in all of his videos. 🤷♂️
I really enjoy your commentary on Adam Ruins Everything.

I used to enjoy adam ruins everything, I stopped watching a long time ago, seeing this I am much more inclined to avoid everything by that racist show.
This terrifies me. I am so worried that my future children won’t even know real history. I worry that these lies will just keep getting repeated over and over until it becomes part of “history”. What happens when our historians become to scared to write accurate history books, and instead, just kowtow to the social justice warriors? I hope people wake up soon and quit this call out culture.
WHY DONT YOU EVER B L I N K
He does, he just times it to when you blink so that you will never see it.
Really dig your channel. Thanks for telling the factual truth about great topics. Please keep up the outstanding work!
Concentration camps are a British invention, similar to the internment camps the Japanese were sent to in the US.
Dunno. simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_camp lists also 1800s Native American "reservations" in that category. Whatever is the case, AJW's understanding is unnecessarily narrow here. Although I'm pretty sure ARE used such term specifically for the added shock value it holds due to the Nazi camps.
Whenever I see episodes of this show I'm always uneasy about the authenticity of the arguments being presented. Your analysis was great.
I like your vids but damn man blink! Blink!
I got excited when I saw that Adam had put out a new video because I knew you'd make another video.
Leave him alone! Adam Ruins Everything is so cool! Racist!
Yeh, please do part 2. You do excellent work, and I appreciate the hard work you put into these videos.
so they cant swim today because their ancestors could swim 60yrs ago??? I didnt know you passed on your ability to swim genetically. lol
and it much also be impossible to learn to swim unless you are taught as a child... clearly why nobody learnt to swim after the segregation was removed.
@@obvious_failiure5764 my Dad and both of his parents could not swim but my mother thought it was important for my siblings and I learn, so we swim very well. We grew up swimming in lakes and ponds. I can probably count on one hand how many times I swam in a public pool before the time I was 18.
Clearly, you didn't understand anything, Joseph. It's not because their ancestors couldn't swim. It was because pools were not as accessible to black people. Even oceans weren't very accessible to black people since they resided in the inner cities.

Racial stereotypes are off limits? There goes 40% of standup comedy.
"BUT! It gave preference to immigrants who had training, talents, or skillsets that would benefit the US economy."

Probably the best video I have seen from you. Or maybe it's just that you always make good content lol I also learned new things i didn't have a clue about as well man good stuff. Please make the part 2 you have my blessing.
German Americans were also discriminated against, as were Italian Americans. Both were interned, my family hid our German heritage until 1995 due to German discrimination.
Also a Japanese pilot who was involved in Pearl was shot down and assisted by Japanese residents. That was one of the reasons to the Japanese internment. Right, wrong or indifferent it happened but it was a far cry from the NSDAP camps. The two are comparable in only the fact both had camp in their names and held people in against their will. Other then that they aren’t even remotely similar.
I was born in 1986, when my grandmother died in 1995 we were sitting around her kitchen and my dad and uncle were talking and said “well it’s been long enough, we’re German” I always though we were just irish. He said his parents and grandparents hid their ancestry due to discrimination during “the war” not sure which war started it, I guess WWI with WWII cementing it. My great grandparents would have likely started in WWI and my grandparents in WWII, despite me being born in 86’ most of my cousins were born between the late 50’s(when my dad was born) and early 70’s.
Great video! Love to see the second half, sadly it seems people who supposedly are mainstream trying to make things better are just dividing us and making it worst.
I'd highly recommend Thaddeus Russell's book "Renegades in History"

Great content man. Just want to say that your analysis is as pointed as just about anyone else on TH-cam. Keep up the good work and you will succeed!
Adam Ruins Everything used to okay. I remember one about charity food, where the charities were saying that food drives are actually very inefficient way of giving to charity. This was because they can do more with the money (bulk buy), and don't need to sort the food.
Then he started getting really political, and videos like his just make you angry because they are complete strawmen, and often contain lies, which he must have deliberately included for his narrative.
Hahahaha the 70% thing had me cracking up hard. Your dead pan reaction too. Perfect 😂😂
Huh, I used to watch adam ruins everything to learn stuff. And here I am now, learning stuff from a guy destroying adam...
Almost every public school in America has a swimming pool and there are many public pools, so no one can say that they don't have access a place to learn how to swim.
Do a part 2! The integrity of Adam Ruins Everything or lack thereof needs to be exposed!
The only thing Adam ruins is applied analytical thinking.
Regarding the internment of racial groups other than the Japanese during WWII, it happened to Italian Americans as well on the West Coast. A book was written about it full of interviews with those interred. "The Unknown Internment" by Stephen C. Fox. Yes, it was nowhere near as rampant as it was with the Japanese, but racism was one of the factors in doing it.
New subscriber here, so thankful that someone out there is debunking Adam ruins everything I was noticing some of his facts were a bit off in his recent stuff
From what ive seen, black written sitcoms have a lot more stereotypes than majority white written ones
PLEASE review the second half of this episode!
Adam actually enforced the stereotype that black people can't swim... I wasn't even really aware of that stereotype, but not only did he introduce me to it, but he then gave me statistics to back it up, and then told me people knowing those statistics are wrong.
Love the video. Finally some facts! My grandfather was a germam canadian and he was also put into a "work camp" during ww2.
I actually used to think James Corden and Adam Ruins Everything were the same person. Not because they both look the same, but because they both sniff their own farts and they aren't funny.
Curious about part 2, definitely want to watch it
Excellent video, I'm new to your channel and have been enjoying your content so far but I'm extremely impressed with your mentioning the European-American internment in both World Wars. Nobody ever does, I'm not sure most even know the Germans were interred in the Great War. The Espionage Act of 1917 effectively made it illegal to be German or oppose the War. I'm not saying that's any worse off than the Japanese had it but it's important to remember that it isn't just race related.
11:05 If you read papers from the time, the biggest complaint about the Chinese immigrants of _that_ era was their refusal to learn English or attempt to assimilate _at all_ into mainstream society. Look at the Wyoming rail way problems with the Eastern European immigrants vs Chinese. It was not pretty on either side.
The smug self assured snark that comes off of people who are convinced that everything is some racist boogyman is exhausting.
