"pseudo Japanese...a bit yiddish...accent"

good apology Rosie. nice try.

I am appreciative to everyone who is not Chinese or even Asian who understand that "ching chong" may not have hurt you directly but that racism in any form hurts everyone. Peace...from someone still trying to have YOUTUBE UNDERSTAND that labelling Thai people as Apes is wrong...see my vids.

Yaaay. I loved the fact that this ended positively, and that people may have gained something from the entire situation. Right on Rosie for taking the time to make this vlog

Why is the audience laughing? New York is supposed to be all united with the events that took place at 9/11. I guess we are not as united as we all think?

[Silent7hinker]

Sia usually includes a rich amount of sarcasm and hyperbole in his work though.

i hate how the audience is surprised at its level of offense being compared to the N word you simply never know how sharp the blade is when you're holding the handle.

If the joke was about Chinese I could understand the uproar, but it was a comment on the media. Even over in China they're gonna have this unimportant story was her point. But that's not why ye'all offended. No. If she took three months of Chinese first we'd have no problem! I live in Taiwan. A restaurant here was called "Concentration Camp" w/pics of starving/dying Jews. Really swank place for Taiwanese. Please comment on this if you're really such champs of social justice.

cool she apologized

[greenteeth136]

Yea, glad it turned out well, but take a look at Sia's other work where he plays a lot of asian steriotypes. Take a look at Criss Rock's,'Who's more racist, whites or blacks'(hysterically funny, btw). What pisses me off about the whole thing is not Rosies stupid joke,and not Sia's beutifully produced counter punch, it's that this whole thing plays into the hands of the neocons and the desprately in need of a pimp sticking right wing talking heads.

[thunyakijmax]

i really agree with this. talkin it out.

[dubie22]

agreed...
