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. | ||

Haha what a terribly terrible/offensive impersonation. I laughed because it was so bad. The black equivalent would be: "click clack click click" | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
