I am deeply offended by this display of not only insensitivity towards the victims, but the underlying racism towards Asians as well, as portrayed in this song. Racism coming from people whos ancestors who faced the worst racism than anyone else in this country and still face more discrimination than any other group, how can they be racist themselves? They're being hypocritical and very idiotic. I understand that it's 'normal' to make light of tragic situations as they have done in the past (9/11). It's done to lift spirits. But this, they were mean, they were racist. If you listen to the song, it sounds like they are making fun of Asian people, more than they are making light of the situation. It sounds like they are laughing because Asian people have died, calling them 'chinks' and 'chinamen' and such, and laughing at the children that are gonna be sold as slaves because they are Asian. If this were in Africa they would never had made light of the situation, and would have attacked anyone who did so I think racism is the underlying issue.
