I just saw this, his grocery bit was hilarious!
However, he says he's born from America, yet refers to how "we" grow our food in the backyard.

Just seemed peculiar. Clearly, he's Asian, but he's not from Asia personally.
Maybe I'm being picky.

Check out her bikini modeling. Her breasts are nothing special, she's wearing a push-up.

"LING LONG CHING CHONG TING TONG!"

Haha what a terribly terrible/offensive impersonation. I laughed because it was so bad.

The black equivalent would be: "click clack click click"

That's one of the many dangerous things about Youtube, is that you don't know how far along your video will spread and I wish people would be more careful when they do things like this. Personally, I do not think she wanted to come across as a racist, at least I didn't get the feeling she was trying to, but whatever her message was just did not come across right.

Personally, I get her frustration. I've had this happen to me in the library as well and LOL they were Asian as well, but I did not make a Youtube video and rant about it. That's why the librarians are there and the people who work there. You tell them that people are being loud and they'll handle it.

I think her problem was not specifying that her rant was directed towards less Westernized Asians.

Most modern Asians are generally pretty respectful and polite and go by the norms but I do notice that people straight from places like Honk Kong, who have recently immigrated to North America, are bit more culturally abrasive (I think it could even be the Cantonese dialect being a bit more tone-orientated that other languages too).

But yeah, I don't consider her rant to be that racist... I think it's just Asians overreacting to it because it targets them. If we had subbed in black people for Asians, I don't think the outlash would be as grand.

Im Chinese and I don't mind the girl's comments(im also studying at UCLA engineering department). There are a lot Asians that are very rude and the cellphone thing does happen. I heard it before as well. Not as common as she makes it sound but it does happen. Good manner and common courtsey is necessary and some Asians lack it and it really annoy me. I swear when I go to Asian market(ranch 99), I get so annoyed when an old Asian lady takes like 30 plastic bags and stuff them in her purse or when they take those shopping carts from markets to bring back the food to their house and just leave them by the street side.

Think really hard on that and figure out why that would be. Or remove eleven words from my first sentence.

Can I get further incite on your perception of Hong Kong and Cantonese people being culturally...abrasive? What does that even mean?

9 tones versus 4 tones and that means you're... ruder? Is that what you mean by culturally abrasive?

I you think the culture norms are the same between North America and Asia, you're kidding yourself.

Cantonese (as I've been told and witnessed) is a bit less fluid than say, Mandarin. This may be a reason why this girl gets distracted, because FOBs happen to be less accustomed to the culture here and because of the nature of the language (louder and more tone-orientated).

It was an example, but I think my point stands. Let's be critical here and not try to run on emotions.

Don't know what you're getting at. Population and internet-culture aside, I tend to notice that a lot of Asians here are very defensive.

I have mixed feelings about this video and I'm not really sure how I should respond. Being an Asian myself, I'm kinda glad we didn't just sit back and let this go unnoticed.

But at the same time, alot of the racist remarks she made in that video weren't anything new and are all things I heard in school while growing up in the U.S. I don't understand why people are all of a sudden making such a big deal out of this and even warranting a death threat I read somewhere is just ridiculous.

I come from a primarily black community and they make fun of asians too but nobody ever says anything to them cuz they're scared of them. But when a small white girl makes a video on youtube everyone is so quick to jump on the bandwagon. They don't say anything to the black guy but when a helpless girl does it they all just gang up on her. What is up with this double standard?

If your gonna hate on this girl, then you also need to hate on every single person that ever made a asian joke and there's a ton out there. Why has this blown so much out of proportion on this one girl when comments like this happens across schools about asians all the time in the U.S.?

I guess what im trying to say is, it's fine the asians sticking up for themselves and fighting back but they need to do it EVERYTIME it happens not just when they can hide behind the anonomity of their computer and talk shiit about the girl behind their computers and jump on the bandwagon and not think for themselves. I mean I just can't see this happening in a black school if a black person made this comment.

Edit: I forgot this happened in UCLA where I read somewhere it was like 32% white and 37% asian but generally there aren't a group of asians this big in schools in America and things don't get blown out of proportion like this just becuz one asian kid got made fun of.
