 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Ah the old bucktoothed Chinaman. It's supposed to be in poor taste but I think that stuff is funny. Remember that Simpson's episode where Krusty the Clown is bombing on stage and he starts using all these old school ethnic humor like the above? The audience was appalled. That was funny.

I see this as a stereotype, not racism.

That's true. It isn't racism. Just crude ethnic humor.

It is not racist unless one is humorless.

Of course, as a Southerner, I would like to point out one group it is OK to ridicule all one wants. See below.

What if a person is 50% Caucasian and 50% Chinese?
Before you say I'm being silly, look at the situation for Hawaiians.
A person must be a certain percentage Hawaiian to qualify for racial welfare. All others are not considered Hawaiian and do not qualify for this welfare based on race.

Upon seeing the thread, I remember a scene from that horrible movie about Bruce Lee. He's sitting in a movie theater with his wife watching some western flick, and you get the stereotypical Chinese laundry guy ("ancient Chinese secret" and all that - buck teeth, funny hat, big glasses). Everyone is laughing - except Bruce, who is offended & embarrassed.
