how is that racist? isn't she just giving an impression of what it's like hearing a foreign language news broadcast, where most of the words are not intelligible (because they are in a forgin language) but every so often there is a clearly pronounced English word like the name of a celebrity which stands out
I speak a little Chinese (and I am not Chinese) - and that is not what it sounds like. She said, ching chong ching chong.
Asians are pissed because they hear this ****** from the moment they step foot in grade school to the moment they walk into the corporate world - and people comment on how they speak English 'well', say things in fake chinese, or call people wang, wu, etc.
teehee - your FUNNIE!11!
(edit) and she is only upset because she is as tired as most asians are (like I said above) of dealing with my peoples 'do you eat dog' and 'ching chong' ****** from gradeschool on.
I can not even begin to tell you the dumbass questions I got asked by people here once I got back from China... sigh...
I don't speak any Chinese. To me, that is more or less what it sounds like.
Maybe the "pissed" Asians should look at her intent. Her joke was not dependant on racist humor, unless you want to call a stereotyping of the way the Chinese language sounds to English speaking people "racist".
As an asian american myself I too find that quite offensive. IMO its not racist in that she didn't intend on offending anyone, but that type of humor should still be avoided.
No your wrong. Her joke was dependant on racist humor. As an Asian American, the words ching chong ching strike a cord that rings back to the days of grade school when kids made fun of me by saying ching chong ching.
From your perspective, you don't find that offensive because you don't speak the language and the racial aspect isn't directed at you.
From my perspective, I do find it offensive because I do speak the language and the racial aspect is directed at me.
Its all about perspective.

in grade school kids made fun of me by calling me names like fire engine or volcano cause i had red hair. it means nothing to me now.
stop living in the past when you were a naive kid that let such juvenile things get to you.
It's just revealing your inferiority complex, that's all. When I see non-white people make fun of whites, if the joke is funny, I'll laugh. I'm not constantly living in a state of hypersensitivy about my identity. I don't have an inferiority complex.
You need to get over it, as you just sound like a wuss.
White people know nothing of racism because they've never experienced it. Thus, they should STFU when it comes to such issues that they know nothing of. Its like trying to analyse football when you've never played or watched the game.

Maybe the prerequisite for each of these get over it posts should also list what race you are. Getting called volcano is a personal attack. Mocking an entire language that an entire race uses because of your own ignorance just leads to trouble. But yes, in general, I'd say things may be too PC these days but still, it will do you well to think about multiple perspectives before mocking people.
Also, the difference between Rosie and other comedians is that other comedians no it's an uncomfortable topic and will typically start with jokes about their own race so that the intention is clear that it's not to mock the people of that joke but to mock the stereotypes.
Silly ATOT posters. Come on now.

eh, it's not totally the same, but it's still alike in that we were both picked on as children and only i have gotten over it and realized it was childish.
i think it's frickin STUPID for anyone to be offended by Rosie over this, but then you can take just about anything anyone says and someone can look to get offended over it.
society full of entitled crybabies has bred that.
I know nothing of it?
I went to a mostly black school where the people thought that whites should pay them reparations. When I asked them if I should pay reparations, they said "hell yeah you should". When I explained that I wasn't alive back then, my family never owned slaves, and that my family immigrated to the USA after slavery was over, they still said that I should pay anyway, since I'm white.
It's just an inferiority complex, nothing more. Even in your case, you're saying that whites should "STFU" about an issue. How is that NOT racist? How do you know every white person's story? That's just like me saying that "blacks should STFU" about an issue.
Take the race out of it and switch the sides, and see if the story still hold up. Yours doesn't.
It's not racist. Grow the F up for the sake of Christ. It's called expression or being funny. Let's see pics of everyone that cracks about her weight too since you have nothing better to do. In fact most people that pick on others are doing it to draw attention away from themselves because they have an inferiority complex. :frown:
EVERYONE wants to play the race card these days. Thank God I live in a small town.

Do you still get called volcano? Do all redheads still get mocked as volcano? The difference is yours ends in grade school whereas this stuff is still happening daily to adults. But as I said, I don't really get bothered by it but I can completely understand why some would be bothered by it. It has nothing to do with inferiority complexes, it has everything to do with the desire to encourage tolerance because if you give a mouse a cookie.
what exactly do you think is being directed at you? Do you really think Rosie ODonnel thinks less of you because you are of Asian background? She has probably experienced abuse from other people all her life over her weight and lesbianism, so I doubt she is going to turn around and think less of someone because they are Asian.
so many people are calling her a cow and the such. What the FVCK does her weight have to do with anything?
