A Chink in the Armour

[bhaskab]

Canada in more like Chinada and Vancouver is more like hongcouver

[bennyhillpervert]

He didn't find too many smart chinks now did he?

[chinkssickmenofasia]

Canada should be called Chinknada. Canada is overrun by Chinks !

[AsianMeatBunBoy]

@chinkssickmenofasia lol I like the idea!

[Maraxusofk]

How are those translations wrong?

[alchemist0101]

first of all you can't ask asian people if they themselves are bad drivers. It is human nature to lie about one's own fault. I live in an area where it is considered to have the best drivers but I never fail to see that the ones who are the worst drivers, or assholes who just want to seem bad drivers just to piss others off, are either teenagers and asian people. You may not believe it but the next time you see someone driving like shit just look if they are one of those 2.

[irahyun]

Interesting experiment, but the translating part takes on a linguistic aspect. Some English sayings are awkward to say in Chinese. Don't you think?

[WinterHalloweenRose]

the translating part is kind of skewed, cuz some english quotes are hard to change into chinese, and vice versa.

[Pig560]

CHINKS are the smelliest mother fuckers on earth,,, their whole house stinks of rotten nakes and insects

[Jonasmax]

Brits are the stinkiest rotten rats on earth. Disgrace of the Human race

[WinterHalloweenRose]

um, how would u know? oh, and "nakes" dont exist.

[hcn9]

@Pig560 fuck u smelly curry indian. go drink some cow piss LOOOL! indians marry dogs, worship rats, hairy as fuck, and got their ass raped by china in 1962 haha

[alchemist22]

@Pig560

faggot ass paki

[destroymatrixraptor]

@alchemist22 im the only white guy here i like anime so alchemist you watch ful metal alchemist?

[TalkShitAvenger]

You're not a chink, but you might be an annoying whiny loser.

[edify88]

chinese language suckssss!!

[ericown]

lol point of view. if you are chinese you'll think other language sucks. just because you dont understand.

[henryusyay]

can some1 tell me what's stereotypes mean? i got confused....

[kevinlew41]

This 'documentary' is lots of fun and just to be looked at it for its face value. No need to poke holes or overly analyze. All in all, its nicely produced. Although I seem to get the impression the author has issues with his ethnicity, there is nothing a Susan Boyle type makeover can't change.

[lesliekwan80]

I'm Chinese, and I can't speak it if my life depended on it.  I didn't even know that was a stereotype.

[EyeOfTheElite]

there is no alphabet in chinese, so they can't spell out r,e,s,p,e,c,t

[jlojlo4166363]

they could say the strokes tat form the characters respect XD

[goodHellian]

that translation stuff is teh BOMB!!!

[Gemininivek]

Epic fail, your attempt at breaking a non existing stereotype is moronic. You're either oblivious or lack the courage to tap into subjects that's real in our daily lifes and are a bit more potent. Things like : Your nerdy hairstyle and glasses-oily smell-bad posture-money oriendted..etc. Why, are these topics too hardcore for you? you should wake up and travel a bit sir, instead of expressing ur weak and limited views in a protective hole that is Canada.

[pf91rodman]

this film was awesome

especially the last part,it made me wish i was a volunteer so i can kick some gungfu master ass.I was suprised so many people ran lol

[mrbobbywong]

that doesn't even break the stereotype wth, you purposely chose phrases that had a cultural/language barrier. and also, the sample of ppl could have had varying english skills.

[Waylandbang]

im chinese, but what does chink mean?

[itsrastakitty]

"Chink" is the single most offensive racial slur that anyone could possibly use against someone of Asian ancestry. It is on par with "nigger".

[itsjimmy2009]

As an Asian, I am not bothered by the word chink. Unlike the blacks we do not call ourselves chinks as they call each other nigger.

[ruideng111]

i call myself a chink. and i call other chinese people chinks.

[itsjimmy2009]

I must say you are one of the nicest chinks I ever saw post on here. Good for you that you are not a sensitive cry baby like so many others...

[ruideng111]

haha. cheers mate! maybe its a british thing. ive grown up with all my mates calling me chink. its just dry racial humour.

[mattbryson23]

HiLARious...great look at Chinese-Canadians stereotypes

[yournewfarther]

Fuck america full of racism there im white and i think its wrong. asian ppl are nice so they dont want any beef but they probley think america is a fucking pathetic place

[d1595]

It's a fun little documentary, but it's not really poignant. Translation could get tricky depending on one's familiarity with customary usage of the language. I wouldn't say it's the best way to manifest racial stereotype.

[eden1963]

I also want to add this is quite an interesting commentary.

[eden1963]

I work at a bank where the staff are Chinese. One woman referred to her friend's daughter as a "banana" and another girl was complaining to her 2 co-workers about someone. I don't know a lot of Chinese words, however "gweilo" is one of them? Is that word considered rascist?

[davidngo4415]

saying it's a "michael-moore style documentary" is a poor choice of comparison. discredits the whole thing.

[jonathaniscool531]

only thing i don't like about china is pollution. america has it too but i saw the thing on the olympics.

[Falkensight]

hehe my cousin and (yournewfather) u stink!

[yournewfarther]

chinks are shit

[nandonandooo]

i dont get the point... everyone knows that not all chinks know kung fu etc etc...

and i dont find it hilarious at all

[jeonster]

nice movie

[itsabird]

that professor made a really round-a-bout way of saying that being away from china makes you not know chinese lol.

[jasontc2007]

stop! stop! go jack off urself!

[TheWorldTurtle]

Hilariously done video! 太笑了！

[Un1234l]

Haha! Can't believe that this doc/mockumentary only has 10k views, 130 ratings, 90 faves and comments... when it was here for 1 year! Justice must be done! Very good documentary, I had a good laugh. Though it's not only chinese though, ALL asians face that problem. Oh yeah, I know martial arts and am abv avg at math. But if the driving was about ASIANS in general, then the stereotype will be truely false (drift racers). And Team Ryouko was in this :) That earned extra points from me.

[ickbar11]

Your voice produces cognitive dissonance because if I didn't see you in person I'd think you were literally a white guy.

It sounds that damn white, it must be the cannuck accent.

[fanatiX123]

A nigger in the armour sounds better

[Andypitcin303]

racism is wrong

[fanatiX123]

that's ignornant if you think that's racist, a chink in the armour rofl, give me a break...

[Andypitcin303]

i was reffering to another comment mate, i know chink jokes can be fun

[Andypitcin303]

not in a nasty unkind way of course mind

[pakk82]

can humans ever be united?

[DEinder]

Sigh *pats his should*...pakk someday my son when you grow old ou will understand the true meaning of..CHOCOLATE RAIIINNNNNEEEE!

[Andypitcin303]

racism is wrong

[BoonMah]

You know your video has been on YouTube long enough when there are flame wars and spam.

Thanks to everyone who actually had something constructive to say...regardless of whether you liked it or not.

We're ramping up production on our next film (y'know, something that didn't cost less than a couple of meals at McDonald's) so stay tuned! And if not for the new movie, then for whatever's going on in the comment board.

[redtortoise76]

It's a shame to not be able to speak your own language

[ppprowresniews]

the first chubby guy is f**kin hot & cute. seriously

[sinostanley]

Remember, One nation's Racism creates another country's Racist. One country's nationalism is good, only exists in the situation that DO NOT hurt other nations.

[sinostanley]

Sure, when the time u stop call us 'Chink' or 'Chinaman', I will give up my previous comments. But, my question is, CAN U? Funny, sammyf0007, check ur nations ppls comments first plz. (not only this video)

[sinostanley]

United! All my Chinese fellow, they r afraid of us,our economy,military force!They dont wanna us to live better, so DO WE! You call us yellow monkey,YOU ARE WHITE APE!!!!!

[sammyf0007]

sinostanley: Stop being ignorant, and stop being insecure about yourself.

[colaeric]

there's no thing such as "banana", white is not a nationality! you're ignorance

[GeGeMus12]

Nice Wok!

[ellwyn]

those girls never said anything except that the chinese-looking guy had a nice jacket, so why was the study necessary? the guy may know no chinese, nor any kung fu, and be a great driver, but still look chinese.

[eine52]

The girl told the other, "that chinese guy," not chinese-looking guy...she assumed he IS Chinese, even though she never confirmed that. In other words, the director felt sad, because he considered himself to be a Canadian, not Chinese.

[jimmyratz]

Are there many honkys like me in China? Your great country shouldn't let the satanic white man (or woman) into your country, because they are probubly there for some sinister reason like getting information to write a story that will be against the Chinese people or something of that nature.

[jimmyratz]

The white pigs from the U.S.A. and U.K. are always spying on you folks. The U.S. always sends that douche bag Condoleeza Rice to places around the world in order to make them think like the racist white mothers want them to think.

When is China going to have balls and tell Amerika and its master, Israel to back off of their genocide against the Palestinian people and other Arabs?

[pharmd90]

ahh racism at best.

[HCEveningWalk]

Wow, lol I thoguht sum parts of the videos were funny, and I'm Asian myself-----south though, and ppl asked if i could do kung fun and shit wehn iwas little lol, and now they think I'm Indian and hispanic and arabian and filipino....(list goes on) wtf???? lMAO, its a wierd things; stereotypes.... Also PLEase watch my channel for dashboard confessinal music vid remake, tahnks... and please comment...

[toki211]

funny video. however i think that it's hard to translate those phrases directly into chinese word for word.

[jimmyratz]

Question: Do Chinese discriminate against whites?

[jimmyratz]

I am a white male. When I was young and working for the telephone company in Boston, I did a job for a Chinese family. I asked the girl out and she accepted. Sadly we didn't to the holding hands stage.

She told me that her brother, who also worked for the telephone company, was dating a white girl, however he wouldn't allow her to date white guys.

Isn't this discrimination?

[Authoritz]

msybe the white girl was lesbian and ugly

[sovietgunpoint6]

She's an actor.

[TheChineseOne]

That depends! I am in Beijing, I am Yellow.

Some whites stink, maybe they don't have a bath for too long a time, they just stink. When I take the subway, i can judge whether a pale face is around by smelling the stinking smell.

[jimmyratz]

The Chinese One, you are completely right, most whites smell real bad! I am one of them. I used to shower everyday, but now I am very depressed and only shower about once a week.

[jimmyratz]

The other day, before I showered, I went from the bathroom to my bedroom. Boy the smell from my left armpit allmost blew me away!

[jimmyratz]

My wife and daughter are always telling me I stink. Even when I shower the girl says I smell real bad. I say to her that I just take a shower. She says...I don't care yoy still stink. I say...How can that be since I just took a shower? She then says...maybe its your clothing. You never wash your red "Che" T-shirt which you wear everyday. I say...It dosen't smell. She says it does!

[jimmyratz]

So...my friend, take it from a smelly comrade, all whites do indeed stink like pigs, probubly even worst if they stink like this white guy. How's Beijing lately, I'd like to visit there someday. Op's I just remembered about my smell. How the hell can I visit anywhere with this major problem I have? Do you have a Chinese doctor that can help me?

[jimmyratz]

Dear The Chinese One...I hope you can read my comments at You Tube. Jimmyratz

[000266617]

"pale face?" Isn't that what Native Americans called whites in old movies? Old dictionary says "Buckra" is a slur against whites used by African Amerians. The bad smell can be washed off with soap and water. Racism and stupidity is a stink that cannot be washed off.

[pharmd90]

yes i do believe so

[pharmd90]

Jimmy, ahh racism at best. my parents didn't intially talk to my brother in law who is white while my sister was dating. How ever they felt that after getting to know each other .. He was the best person in the world for her. Hope you don't think feel that all chinese discriminate

[jimmyratz]

pharmd90...I have had many Chinese friends in the past and I learned a lot about Chinese culture, food, etc.

If people just hung around with their own kind all the time, they would miss out on a lot of good things.

That's why I love to have friends form all around the world.

[DEinder]

Jimmy my boy...stay with your pack...remember a wolf can't ...NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN..AND DESERT YOU...

[jimmyratz]

Hello Deinder...as soon as my mother died, my sister droped me like a hot cake. I told my wife maybe it was because I was kind of retarded. My wife said that's all the reason she should have not deserted you.

[jimmyratz]

Anyhow...my wifes family adopted me and I have a new wonderful family. They are Arabic people and I have learned a lot about Arabic culture and made many friends.

As far as the same kind sticking together...I am Irish-American and I have gotten the shaft from many Irish co-workers in the past.

[lumbats]

Lame. Dude tried to be funny and serious and failed at both. I give it two stars for red-faced Jere and stern-faced P.

[kurtcrowbain]

I think people say "they all look the same" is because of the hair. Whites have curly or straight, and it can be blonde, brown, red, or black. asians only have black straight hair. maybe this is why i do not know.

i am jamaican

[Ceirra08]

Thats One Ugly Fat Asian DUDE!

[sup3rAzn]

i got a good laugh out of this

and you're white if you think about it all white people at leasts to me generally don't look all that different.

i am a asian who sucks at math and proud of it.

[jbreyer]

well done my asian brother : )

[okitasan]

I'd like to see more of the Kung Fu test. Haha

[Terminator1666]

lmao that 'luke i am ur father' one was hilarious

[crimsonvermilion]

dude that prof taught me HUM101Y civilizations around of the world at UofT

[RehobothBeach]

Is my dry cleaning done yet?

[davidc1711]

I just realized that there are still many racists in this world.

[pindrop]

Good stuff...

[oraenor]

I'm aussie born chinese and I thought it was pretty funny. Wheres the other parts to the whole clip?

[scottyrabbit]

you can't translate american proverbs/ slang into chinese so easily, due to major differences in diction. similarly, it is difficult to translate many chinese proverbs into english.

[Godless0078]

lol chinky asians all look the same

[kx06]

lol all white people look exactly the same

[FiCeTea]

chinks should be stuffed in boxes and burned

[Cadoory]

Why doesn't somebody else stuff YOU in a box and burn you because you're whatever the fuck you are?

idiot

[striker320]

burn u modafucka first,puke

[Bachelorno3]

oh man. I love Django's and Stephane's version of sweet Georgia Brown. nice docu

[allcingiboston]

Generally, many professor of Asian studies is a rice queen;)

[crazy7gamer]

haahhaahahahhnic

[blambloom]

umm, if they can't speak chinese, then why do they suck at English?

[000266617]

Anytime you say "ALL" such and such..it's not true. "SOME" is true. A Chinese (Vicent Chin)was beat to death by two whites and the whites, although pleading guilty to murder, never went to jail. Another Asian was shot by a white...

[hansonyip]

i watched the whole film and it was awesome!! the asian justin timberlake deserves an oscar!! and that tall & skinny guy with spikey hair who you can see running away from the martial artists ain't bad either...

[Alienuser2704]

MAN YOUR UGLY...sexy voice tho...my chinky bro

[BoonMah]

haha...thanks?

[riceboyah]

that was good! Well done!

[spinsyndrome]

also, the martial arts scene in the end is so staged. when theyre all running out of the school a couple of shots were made at cameras placed at certain angles to make the scene look good (as opposed to a regular camcorder recording) meaning that all the shots were pre-planned and staged. Also, i do martial arts and its obvious that the "fights" near the end were staged and fake. and if you notice, almost all the "martial artists" were asian.

[spinsyndrome]

This video is so stupid because all of the phrases that he was asking people to translate were unique to american slang / culture. its difficult to translate them into any language and still keep the same meaning and context.

[budweiser0]

WHOO go mr. Soon!! he the best teacher!

[highflyer06]

WHOO my science teacher is in this movie! go soon-shiong!

[Chibi788]

eww!!! i'm south korean and i don't eat dog meat!! thats just sick!!

[acidspeed]

about the whole driving thing, most of the people in north america are shitty drivers. most of them can't operate stick shift. one time this white guy scratched my car and my car didnt even move! it was in a parking lot. And also one time when i stopped at a stop sign, an african american lady hit me from behind.

[miborovsky]

Hilarious.

[gwazz]

It'd be nice to see this kind of documentary done with other minorities.

[Wrayer]

Great job man! Nice!

[sarassason]

Man, that's good...Though, where's the rest of the video.

[itsmeeddie]

Brilliant! The martial arts part at the end was hilarious. Attacking these stereotypes head-on won't make them go away but does prove how erroneous they can be. I am half Mexican half North-European, which means that I am often seen as one race to some people and the other to other people. Having a "mixed" identity is no walk in the park either!

Great work!

[KuramaElo]

Anglo Chicano :P ... jk man

[StridingCloud]

i saw the movie on the site, i love the part where everybody runs from the martial artists lol good stuff.

[Roku4]

well done. I would've loved to be involved in a project like this. I'm a korean american, semi fluent Korean, little to no Japanese, loves anime, excellent in Chinese Kung Fu... suck at math / excellent in reading.

Yeah, I must've been dropped on the head when I was a baby.

[Richiev6]

Where is the rest of the video?

[BoonMah]

It's on my site. www.baunmah.com/cita

[hongbao]

I really enjoyed this.

It convinced me that I am really chinese, but that I was kidnapped by middle-class italian-americans and raised as their own. I'm a lousy driver, great at Calculus, I could translate SOME of the pop slogans, and I ALWAYS run away when pursued by martial artists.

Can I be in the musical version of "A Chink..." or are you stereotyping?

Very well done.

[wonkers]

lol. very nice.

[evelynlo96]

awesome. LOL.

[IllustratedPerson]

Amazing!

[unclefuz]

love it.

[illicitsc]

lol nice job lonn! and his buddy. im his cousin btw!

[gatomon2002]

OMG !!! That was hilerious ! One of the guys in there are one of the teachers at my school :D

[Achilles3]

Even though I'm Viet, this is a great documentary that I can relate to. Good job.

[tavewatman]

great job!!! i really enjoyed the film. the last part was so funny i almost fell off of my chair!

[Jalen5]

A must see!

[hythrax]

Brilliant!
