Are you laughing?
Adam Carolla, former co-host of that pinnacle of moronitude and slob humor show, "The Man Show", thinks it's funny.
He did a skit poking fun at the Asian Excellence Awards and thought saying "ching-chong"" was so funny that he did it 42 times- consecutively. http://racerelations.about.com/b/a/244914.htm
Are you laughing your ass off?
Woo-hoo!! What a hoot!
What next? "Me Chinese! Me make joke!" skits?
How about resurrecting that bucktoothed slanty-eyed, glasses-wearing abomination that Mickey Rooney portrayed in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"?
You up for some "Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees..."?
Remember when I said that I am usually shocked when I hear about things like this?
I'm getting less and less surprised.
Asians are considered "fair game" when it comes to stuff like this. We're considered the folks who don't fight back- the invisible and silent minority.
Unreal.
Stereotypes and blatant racism are, plainly put, for the feeble minded.
They're for the folks who can't conceive of, comprehend or imagine viewing life outside of their field of vision. It's easier after all to cling to the old standby- the belief that people are, because of the color of their skins and their cultural, racial or ethnic background, a certain way.
