I'm Chinese and I think it's kinda funny. Still, that picture is ridiculous.

Looking a little history I discovered because they consider it racist, as it appears to be the British and the Americans used the ghetto to make fun of Asians, I'm sorry we're not all followers of the Anglo-Saxon culture and we can not know how you have invented racist gestures to laugh at the different ethnic groups in the world.

For us it is a gesture of sympathy, and no more.

Dumb? Boring? Nonsensical? Ok... but offensive? I don't get it. Asian eyes tend to be slanted. So what? How is this derogatory? What's wrong with having slanted eyes? Or any particular facial feature common to any particular ethnic group?

@gamehazard101 You are 100% correct, but within the ignorant as a whole, there are those that will never change, those that might change and those that will change. It is the percentage of those that might and will that you are trying to reach. Even if it is just one person who stops and think if he or she is doing something wrong, then you are headed in the right direction and humanity will be better as a whole.

@MusicforMe123 Ok, look, what you're saying does make sense. But, it is impossible to get rid of ignorance. It's pretty much a fundamental human flaw. So what I'm saying is, since it's impossible to get people to stop being ignorant, we should accept it; then it's easier to deal with. In the same way that there are mentally insane individuals who are beyond help, there will always be hopelessly ignorant people.

@gamehazard101 Martin Luther King Jr. denounced racism he did not laugh at it, if he laughed at racism, blacks would not be free today. You have to show the ignorant that it is wrong and if enough people say it, maybe there will be change, but by laughing, you accept the ignorance and nothing will change.

@MusicforMe123 A funeral and racism aren't really the same thing, dipshit but yeah I guess that would be true.....Wait, name one time in history where everybody at a funeral laughed instead of mourning. Your hypothetical situation is highly unlikely for anybody's funeral whereas racism is actually something that's happening and can be dealt with. Think before you speak, dickhead.

@gamehazard101 You fucking idiot, if everybody laughed at your mothers funeral instead of crying then there wouldn't be sadness would there?.......HHAAHAHAHAAA, think before you speak dickhead.

@MusicforMe123 You idiot, if everybody laughed at this kind of stuff instead of being offended then there wouldn't be problem would there?

@tuoz1 Go fuck yourself...read it and comprehend that you racist maggot.
