yeah I am a PhD student at the
University of Washington the you dub can
pass as like 45,000 undergrads on it and
I swear to god at least like one out of
four of them come up and ask questions
about cut indeed it seems I am that guy
from chance playin I'm Chan my full name
is Christopher santo domingo Chan and
then everybody here cut just calls me
Chan I started working a cut got like
two years ago or something it seems like
forever started doing freelance 400
years of beauty he doing some research
and then you guys like just kept
bringing me back so now I work here my
title is visual anthropologist and I
kind of help direct the content flow
around here Asian food versus Asian
people I you know would talk with Blaine
and my and other folks at cut kind of
about like the stuff I was working on in
grad school and that this idea that like
it's totally okay for us to make
judgments and label dishes of food
before us but it would be so uncouth and
so politically incorrect to guess if
people were Thai or Chinese or Korean
how did I do I didn't do that well how
are you feeling Chris you just had just
got outperformed by some white people I
would sucked at labeling the food and I
was really bad at leaving people and
that's fine because race is a social
construct and has no basis of biology
and [ __ ] all of you for writing me hate
mail about that yeah to be frank any of
you or thinking Michael into grad school
just know it will destroy your body and
you'll gain weight
and I started drinking quite heavily
since I started grad school it wasn't a
ton of those hundred years of beauty
behind the scenes research behind the
books videos I don't like the [ __ ]
elin thanks I'm a spokesperson for
anything beauty related but yeah
unwittingly became a kind of talking
head 400 years of beauty that all grew
into a larger series called hundred
years Beauty hot Co which is a beauty
tutorial series when we say classy AF
were kind of saying F your class hits it
we can redefine it if we watch if you
had told me when I was in grad school
working on my dissertation that I would
be involved in a YouTube beauty series
and a beauty tutorial show on Comcast I
would have left in your [ __ ] face
just get in
how did chance planean happen
chant chant chant chant chant chant
chant dance my name is it still yeah so
at the end of 2017 for a couple months I
was on a weekly series called chance
play name the idea was that I would be
sort of the spokesperson for the cut
channel to talk about some of the ideas
we were working on and some of our
intentions but also address some of the
controversy so chance painting is on
is it a midseason break is it like a
season break is it canceled I don't know
but it does take away time from our
other busy production lives to produce
this thing that doesn't really get tons
of use so it's been weird being on
camera I don't like to be the center of
attention
it is awkward as hell for me it's a
stand in front of a camera and talk to
it and then the first times I was ever
on camera you can see me visibly being
[ __ ] anxious and weird I'm Chris you
know me you know now although through
exposure I've got a lot more comfortable
and it's a kind of like a new I don't
know facet of my personality get your
[ __ ] together
Dobby basic so how you like that
[Music]
I think if I ever felt anxious before
now I don't the worst thing you can
possibly imagine is that people are
talking [ __ ] about you and on YouTube
people talk [ __ ] in front of your face
or direct it to you and to know that you
can read all of that and then leave
start the next day be a totally fine and
kind of like own you own yourself on
your personality own your life I'm
really good for me thanks so much for
