Serious question here, l know this is the lounge, but l'm sure you can rise to the occassion.
My first reaction was that it was racist, but it seems this sort of thing is OK in the US. So watch the animation and see what you think.

i found it somewhat amusing but for you to even ask "is this racist", would imply that you have thought about it and came to the same conclusion that i have. Someone, somewhere will find it offensive.
Now post some more of these mother fuckin' clips hoe :shifty:
I don't think it was racist. Maybe it could be argued that it is, but it wouldn't be high on my list of things to ban. Perhaps people may take offence because of the black stereotypes but I thought that the middle class white guy was made to look ridiculous because of the antiquated street speak, yo.
It was about as funny as toothache too.
You's be right, homie.Quote:

And is "ghetto" a race?
Its obviously ment as stygmatisd humor
hence it is regarded as funny.

Don't be fooled by cheap imitations, this is the original Off-Topic forum. Come on in and talk about absolutely anything (within our board rules).
nah, stereotypes are funny. I'm a cracker, that's funny. I used to get uncomfortable when stand up comedians would make jokes about people of another race, but stereotypes are funny and I got over it.
was that a racist insinuation? :blink:Quote:

Racist? It depends who you ask. Ebonics aside, I for one found it boring.
Hooray!Quote:

Oh yes, we stand in line endorsing this video, all of us.
The desired answer is "You are right, that plays on stereotypes and is just plain wrong. Those people in the US are bigoted, racist assholes".
So blitheringly transparent.
A parody is a parody, and a funny parody it was. Manker and Guillaume, pretty much nailed it.
Don't hold back Hobbes, tell us what you really think. :lol:
A toothache is funnier...:dry:Quote:

What's an easy way to save those types of videos?
An easy way is the Firefox .swf ripper plug in ;) :DQuote:

Then right click, save as.
