Pedro Pascal speaks about his family fleeing Chile and the US coup of Allende.Joel McHale: "Which the US backed!"Pascal *whispers bc implicating US is dangerous: "Do you really want to get into this?"Then the look of shock on Ken Jeong's face when he finds out pic.twitter.com/NoF2CROMaf— Follow Southpaw on Patreon (@SouthpawPod) April 27, 2023
This is a perfect example of a privileged white dude not considering how talking about a subject on a live stream could massively fuck over the person he’s talking to.
Pedro has family back in Chile still. I’m sure they’re probably fine given Pascal’s level of fame, but still… This is not just a fucked up historical fact for Pascal, his family lived through this, he’s literally related to Allende.
Ken Jeong's expression looked more like annoyance that McHale would steer the convo in this direction. This isn’t the first time McHale has annoyed me like this.
While I agree in general, I don’t think Pascal is a stranger to such retaliation. He was on a show called Narcos which was about the Colombian (then Mexican) cartels. One staff member was killed and a few others were threatened/injured. They stopped the series after Mexico since you’re entering the territory of gangsters who are still living and breathing
