What if Asians said the stupid things Caucasians say to them? Have a look.

Too true. It goes both ways.

haha, I had an experience where they used the "all asians look the same" against me last week.

I was bailed up in a shopping centre in Thailand by someone claiming to be a worker at the hotel I was staying in..."rememeber me, you're staying in my hotel, we spoke this morning"....I actually fell for it because we had stopped and chatted to the doorman at the hotel that morning and I had no idea what he looked like apart from being Thai. He tried to take me to a jewelry and gem place, I didnt fall for that bit.

*I dont actually think all asians look alike, I have an equally poor memory for faces regardless of whether they are black, white or purple. I'm just not very observant.

You seem to have completely missed the entire point of the video. 

The video was not an exercise in racism against white people as you seem to think it is. It is a video that highlights how innocuous remarks that fall into the category of stereotyping is racism that is being practised without a person even realising.

The same video with different actors could have highlighted sexism or ageism quite easily. Or it could have been a blonde woman having a go at a brunette for comments made about stereotypes related to hair colour. The latter example I use specifically for an exchange I recently had with icy (for which I apologised).

My opinion (and I am now sharing one) is that life must pretty gloomy is if all people see from a video like that is reverse racism directed at white people instead of seeing a much bigger picture.

Does not the bigger picture include what it have said , have the makers of the video failed to them selfs see the bigger picture, have they not given into the use of racially based stereo types to claim that whites are inherently stupid , culturally ignorant and insensitive when comes to dealing with other cultures, yet do not quite a few people from other cultural backgrounds come into this country and disrespect our culture because they them selfs consider that we do could not possibly have a culture as we are such a young country made up of many different nationalities , is it not part of our culture to pull the mikey out of the new guy as a way of excepting them as one of us , is it then not as wrong to expect us to alter the way we have culturally excepted people into the country as it is to ask where somebody comes from or to say they all look the same , if are expected by others to respect their culture then must in return be expected to except ours, regardless of the fact that it may be right or wrong it is how we culturally behave

what?

[cherry*135]

is it not part of our culture to pull the mickey out of the new guy as a way of accepting them as one of us

Yes, it is unfortunately. The 'new guys' don't see it like that though. Does anyone enjoy having another person take the mickey out of them?
