Fun With Asians

posted by on February 28 at 14:00 PM

Here’s an entertaining exercise:

First, go and read Kenneth Eng’s ferocious bout of self-loathing entitled “Why I Hate Asians”, penned for AsianWeek.com last month.

(Excerpt: “The first thing I hate about Asians in America is how so many of them want to suck up to whites.”)

Then go and watch last week’s MadTV spoof of Gwen Stefani, a music video titled “Aren’t Asians Great?”

(Excerpt: “Some of them are commies but they gave us origami so I’m asking now, aren’t Asians great?”)

Now ask yourself which one harbors more insidious stereotypes.
