The Oscars are racist

[mrswdk]

Chris Rock, official host of the Oscars awards ceremony, permitted to denigrate young children for their ethnicity live on stage.

...the host of Sunday’s Oscar ceremony, Chris Rock, is being taken to task for some of his material involving Asian-Americans.

Introducing the accountants from PricewaterhouseCoopers, which tabulates the vote results, Mr. Rock instead brought onstage two boys and a girl of Asian heritage, whom he named Ming Zu, Bao Ling and David Moskowitz. As they clutched briefcases, they visually illustrated the stereotype that Asians are diligent workers who excel at math.

“If anybody’s upset about that joke, just tweet about it on your phone that was also made by these kids,” Mr. Rock added, a punch line interpreted as a reference to child labor in Asia.

Apparently it's acceptable to be racist when your target is people of East Asian descent.

It's a race joke, no doubt. Racist? They seem pretty happy to be on stage at the biggest ceremony in the entertainment business. Pulling the race card on that is pretty funny.

Why cant people be racist? It sounds like your ignorant for not being supportive of another's right to their personal view. Must be your communist upbringing.

Full freedom of speech also has its dangers. Example: Adolf Hitler

We must make it even. It's like paper-rock-scissors. There's gotta be a group who can make fun of blacks, otherwise the game is over.

Then the obvious solution is blacks make fun of (East) Asians, Asians make fun of whites, and whites make fun of blacks.

That also works out fairly well: Asians can mock whites for being bad in school, whites can mock blacks for all the obvious reasons, and blacks can take it out on the other minority to make themselves feel better.

Should have acknowledged that many Asians are deeply lazy and uneducated?

In some countries there is such a thing as freedom, and in those countries teenagers and adolescents are free to work as they please.
