If by successful you mean getting a fraction of the video views she is currently getting then you are right

phosphorylation, one of the roots of discrimination is finding differences in a group of people to laugh at. every time someone is derided for their core, essential features and then laughs about it, they are giving space for themselves and their goup to be stepped on further.
sure, too much political correctness isn't always great but "ching chong ling long?" c'mon man. don't let people step on us.

I wasn't paying full attention to the vid, so i did not hear the part when she referred to the recent disaster
so if she made an insensitive remark about the japanese tsunami, then that is indeed out of line and would change my perspective significantly
but i still disagree about this whole discrimination/stereotyping thing stereotyping is core to all humans -- people will deny this all the time -- but it's a way for people to cope with the world... by drawing on patterns; of course, this is not limited to racial profiling. In that sense, everyone IS racist. of course, if this leads to discrimination or full-blown (unconditional) hatred against a group, that is a big problem but otherwise, this sort of (and not entirely baseless) generalizing is IMO quite harmless and possibly comedic -- and comedy is good

anyway I can understand where she comes from... the worst for me is when they get into groups of 5-8 in the library and just talk when others try to study... i mean they see it as a hang out spot while i see it as a quite place to study... but no its not limited to just asains but i will admit they are the largest part of the population...

I'm Chinese (moved to Canada when I was 11)
I went to UWaterloo for my undergrad, and there's a big library called DC (or "Downtown China", or "Club DC") that I used to go before midterms and finals. That place is ridiculously packed with Asians ("fobby Chinese" and Koreans mostly), and they came in hordes, eight plus. They would all dress up a little bit (hence "Club DC") and drink bubble tea while talking and laughing (some Korean dudes also played SC, which I respected) while I was running around trying to find a vacant table.
There was one time, a group of aforementioned people held a fucking birthday party in a group study room (in the basement, beside the magazines and couches if you know what I'm talking about), with cakes, candles and lights turned off, are you fucking kidding me?
Anyway, that's my rant about Asians. This girl raised some valid points, but she just presented them in a horrible way. Big boobs were nice to look at while I was hearing her rant.

My mind kind of went blank right after 'hordes'
