		<description>&lt;i&gt;Until you do, stop bitching about the one or two inconsequential acts of inconsideration whites occasionally do.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please. No-one is buying that pseudo-horror about the KFC ads. You know that many white folks are laughing at it. Besides, it&#039;s inane to assert that Asians are exporting racism isn&#039;t it? Where is it being exported to? India? They have their own. America? They don&#039;t need it, they have plenty. Europe? They invented modern racism. South America? Already have it.  Africa? Would they buy it?  Your comments make no sense.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In summary, it&#039;s evident that you are ignorant and don&#039;t know what you are talking about. Please do yourself a favour and stop making a fool of yourself by advertising your own bigotry.</description>

		<description>If you all want to talk about bigotry and ignorance among Asians, there&#039;s quite a bit of differences (of course there a some similarities) between those in Asia and outside of Asia. For one thing, the mentality is a bit different, at least for some societies, where your background forms a majority of a population compared with being a minority. Then, there are the differences regarding demographics, because the way people around the world look at each other isn&#039;t necessary the same as people do in North America. Even though I&#039;m also of Asian descent, I too would face issues in Japan, because of my Chinese heritage. However, I can surely empathize the extra weight people have to carry when they are a more &quot;visible&quot; minority. T&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;here&#039;s also the internal social movements and history which does make quite a bit of difference . However, it&#039;s not really an excuse to be mean for people, but you can not blame people if their reactions aren&#039;t the same as others. Even if different societies hasn&#039;t gone through the same things, knowledge, sensitivity and hard work can go a long way. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;m gonna have to stand behind some of the comments regarding the the less of greater evil comparisons. No one (with a stable mind) is going to denied that some groups like those of African descent, Jews and/or Indegenious (Native) heritage have faced a dis-porportionate amount of racist actions. However, to denied or &quot;cover&quot; the voices of others who face struggle in some form sort of affects their dignity. Asians are humans too who have mothers like eveyrone else and our blood runs red too. As it is with the gaijin in Japan. Of course, there are a few bad apples and some may be oversensitive, but you will find relatively the same in everybody. There is no perfect standard in catergorizing groups of people as a whole.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Oh yeah, whenever such news pop out, more than half of the comments are nonsense or people trying to justify and maintain their prejudice of whoever, so sometimes it&#039;s not worth sweating over.</description>

		<description>&quot;stop bitching about the one or two inconsequential acts of inconsideration whites occasionally do.&quot;&lt;br&gt;it&#039;s not one or two, and it&#039;s not inconsequential.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also, aren&#039;t we over the whole race olympics. &quot;_____ had it worse, so you can&#039;t talk&quot; is not a reason for dismissing racism. This comment sounds like someone just trying to get a rise out of people and clearly doesn&#039;t have the capacity for an intelligent discussion on race issues.</description>

		<description>Lemme get this right.  A few blackface acts in Korea and Japan and Asians deserve to be portrayed as nothing more than laundromat grunts and restaurant workers?  Deserve nothing more than to apologize to their poor hapless black superiors-in-discrimination?  I bet those blackface acts are real popular everywhere too.  HECK, THERE ON YOOTOOB!  Get off YOUR high horse, buddy-boy!</description>

		<description>Careful folks. You guys are going to fall off that high horse you&#039;re on.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Has anyone seen the Korean KFC ad? The one with the Korean guy who gets captured by Africans, whom he uses boxes of CHICKEN to distract while he escapes? And at the end of the commercial the natives are dancing?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Have any of you heard of such Asian music acts as the Bubble Sisters or the Gospellers?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Go to YouTube and put blackface into the search engine. Half the videos there are ASIANS dong blackface routines.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gee, wonder if we&#039;re going to see anyone here railing against that? You want to whine about racism, or using stereotyping to attack people, the asians have the patent, the trademark and the copyright.&lt;br&gt;Nobody gets attacked worse than blacks. And for you to say that Asian Americans have it the worst is arrogant and ignorant. Get out of that 2 foot bubble you live in and step out into the real world, will you?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Say, when are we going to hear any asians speak out against the racism they&#039;re exporting to the world? Until you do, stop bitching about the one or two inconsequential acts of inconsideration whites occasionally do.&lt;br&gt;Asians have made a cottage industry and a way of life out of bigotry.</description>
