But then you rewatched it and he clearly said Welcome to Earth, and then you felt a little racist?

yea, I don't know how the "welcome to earf" became a thing when it was always "welcome to earth."

probably racism, like you say.

Urf was disbled so Will Smith got upset but then they ended up playing TFT instead

Giving societal memes the (probably undeserved) benefit of the doubt, it could be people associating his ID character with his infinitely more famous Fresh Prince character, who was more prone to funny voices/inflections >_>

Remember on the studio cut of We are the Champions when Freddy Mercury said "of the worlllld" at the end but then you relisten and he clearly doesn't say that and then you feel a little dimensionist?

Up until that point, Smiths character was among the first humans to encounter an extraterrestrial up close. What he does he do?

He punches it, then lights up an Ambassador. Complete with one liner.

Remember when everybody quotes Arnold Schwarzenegger as being like "AHLL BE BAYACK" in Terminator 2?

This is what he really sounds like.

I recently started listening to a podcast that had like 100 episodes, starts during the middle of Covid

I got to the part right after the Oscars when that happened and it gave me such a crazy flashback

it felt surreal listening to them talking about it even though I watched it live

That's something I really like about listening to older podcasts and watching old-ish TV shows that have a basis in reality. We have such incredibly thorough documentation of our modern history out there now, from millions of different perspectives.

He actually said it with a tiny bit of a lisp. It's more like, "Welcome to Earse."

But, yeah. The internet was being racist for the way they meme'd a mispronunciation.
