I laughed at the video, not because I'm racist, but how stupidly misplaced and wrong it was. The ignorance, it just, reeks. :v:

Anyone who thinks that China or asian countries are taking American jobs is a complete nitwit. China only holds a small percentage of US debt. Unfortunately, as you may already know, racism is still quite rampant.

More than any other foreign body, but nothing compared to the debt owed to things like Social Security.
Why do people stoop so low in these races?

At least that 2030 dark China future ad had people who could be believed to be Chinese, and not some American girl poorly attempting to be some sneering "enemy".
Let's show those goddamn chinks whose boss. Pete Hoekstra for Senate! He's apparently not content with a schizophrenic mix of bootstraps!, jobs!, debt!, tax cuts!, job creators!

[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;34581377][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ37akpoWxc&feature=related[/media] If you ask me, this seems more racist towards Chinese people with all the gongs and such.[/QUOTE] They aren't making fun of China in that video, that are making fun of those old Martial Arts movies.

I don't see the racism. It's stereotypical, sure, but not racist. The ad is ignorant, yes, but not racially charged. the focus isn't the race of the person, it's the place- China. The issue is the movement of US jobs to China. They used an Asian actor, with an accent grounded in reality, in a recognizable and not uncommon setting. When we do this with American politicians, no one cares. "Politician A is causing person B to get gains and is hurting our economy! This rich banking scum completely stereotyped that is person B is bad! Plitician A is bad!" Yet because the focus is Asia, and the actor is Asian, and the stereotypes are typical of an Asian person in reality (the broken English, the rural rice field), it's suddenly offensive?
