you racist bastards are too dumb to see the brilliance of this story. It's Touching and amazing, and you guys only noticed their race. How pathetic are you.

it's really moving... I can't even imagine how is it to be blind, it has to be horrible :(

White people never grow huh. Always tempted to hurt other different racial people with racist comments.

Racism=Ignorance. There will always be ignorant people in the world, so sadly, racism will last a very long while. Just ignore those people, they're unimportant and their values are skewed.

@Travaillons it meeeeaaaans! that im also asian and this is just some racsis shit.... well i dont remember been awhile sense i watched it.

[Travaillons]

@danman67214 The guy was an asian, what, do you want him to somehow change his skin color?

[darkbluemars]

it's deep in a sense that it compares being blind but not even seeing you're family and being able to see but sees the world as disturbing. For me it says that we should enjoy what we're seeing and not look at the negative side of it whether we're blind or not.
