okay im browsing yahoo and i see this ad. i admit it is hilarious but what the f**k??? btw im chinese



in the TV commrecials they also have a mexican dude and a white guy - "Big Spenda" Lopez and "The Fee" Jones...

If there's anything to criticize, its the fact that it perpetuates the train of thought that Asians should dress/act/talk one way, black people should dress/act/talk one way, etc.

We always hear stuff like "man, they're just trying to act black." But I mean, damn. There are millions of black people in Africa that don't act that certain way. Does that make them less black?

yea i don't really like those commercials. i have to admit, the first time i saw it, i laughed..and then i felt guilty afterwards..i mean, they're posers because they're of a different race than the stereotypical "ghetto fab" person or whatever? yea....

i dunno, i don't think it's the general thought of racism..more like playing on stereotypes..sometimes, that's ok, but in this case..it's offensive. =/
