... i don't see how this is making fun of someones "accent." this isn't even anywhere close to a chinese accent. what she said was more akin to what was said to us asian minorities in elementary school. and even those kids grew out of it. let's put it this way. if a chinese person said what rosie said, exactly the same way, it wouldn't be accepted by the chinese community either.
Damn so, according to a select few people in this thread, anyone that mocks or imitates another persons language is a racist....lets start listing people who are racist then:
Me
Will Ferrel
Conan O'Brien
Jay Leno
Quote and continue the list please
Oh, and for the record, please someone make fun of the english language/american accent...I want to experience this offending racism

I could see where an asian person would be offended. Where I live, american-asians get that "ching chong" crap ALL the time, no matter their country. They could be Japanese, which sounds no where near 'ching chong', but it doesn't matter to most.
American-asians are rare where I live, so they have to put up with a lot of crap.
*EDIT* To put the remark in perspective for me, it would be similiar to when people start donning a 'southern' accent and throwing slang like ain't and other silly words at me when they here I'm from Louisiana.
It wouldn't piss me off that much, but hearing it repeatedly would.

I don't think it's racist....I DO however think it's offensive, though I'm not offended by it (well, cause i'm white)...but given my personality, I think I wouldn't be offended anyway if I were of chinese origin.
While I didn't find it that funny(Rosie isn't...lets face it) many comedians base their entire routines on offending people.
"Have you walked in my shoes?" = sounds like the same whining and crying you are telling everyone to stop. Toughen up, champ.
LOL sounds like my professors to me!
...and for the record I AM OFFENDED!! :evil:

think of her as you would an aunt or older sister. it hardly matters what her physical appearance is.
Is that all you care about? Whether or not you're going to sleep with someone? It's not all about sex, you know. If I like the way a car looks, that doesn't mean I'm going to have sex with it it. Well, not entirely. One can admire beauty without wanting to have sex, and one can also be disgusted by appearance.
choosing to be "disgusted" because someone doesn't meet your idealized standards of physical beauty is the height of immaturity.
