NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
It is a double standard to think that it's OK for South Park but not OK for Fox News?

Check this out:
NBC did a follow up article and interviewed one of the person in the video. According to the article, he told Fox News that he was Japanese not Chinese. But they still used him in the video segment.

Also from the NBC article mentioned above, "Reaction to the segment was swift from state and federally elected officials, including New York State Assemblyman Ron Kim (D-Queens) and U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY). Along with several dozen community members, Kim and Meng participated in a news conference Thursday afternoon outside Fox News headquarters in Manhattan, criticizing the news organization for broadcasting the video. "This segment definitely crossed the line," Meng said. "It was in bad taste and a very poor attempt at humor." Kim used the words "offensive" and "racist" to describe the segment."
 
Not sure about BB's assertions of Asians being docile.

Wasn't there some protests when that UCLA girl posted a video making fun of Asians?

And I remember years ago there was something at a college (CS Fullerton?) when a radio show made racist Asian remarks.

I feel offended whenever anyone does an Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonation.

LOL same.  I did my duty and shared it on social media to bring awareness, but I'm not about to go raiding stores and protesting to prove a point. We are the "model minority" for a reason  :-\
We may keep to ourselves but we work hard, don't complain, stay respectful, stay humble, save and save and save to buy houses/cars/kids future education so they can live a better life than us.

Also, my work is too intense to take time off to drive to dtla and hold up a sign for hours...

An Open Letter To Fox News - Watters? World Chinatown Segment Perpetuates Tired Stereotypes

I?ve been struggling with my identity for a while now. Having recently graduated from college, I am more lost than ever as I grapple with my postgrad life. Who am I, really? I?m not a business professional, data enthusiast, journalist, or musician. I?m not an environmental or social justice advocate. I?m not a liberal. I?m not a friend or sister. Thanks to Fox News correspondent Jesse Watters? recent Watters? World segment about how Asians will vote in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election, I?ve found my calling. I?m a prop. A mute prop. And I?m not just ok with it; I embrace and internalize it.

It all makes sense. The more I watch the video, the more I realize how right saintly Watters is. I never thought I?d achieve enlightenment (because I?m Asian I automatically abide by Buddhism), but watching Watters trample around Chinatown to ?sample political opinion? comes close. I only say it comes close because I?m convinced that a full-length film version of his segment is the key to enlightenment.

The very first question he asked was directed to two young women. ?Am I supposed to bow to say hello?? I was instantly struck by his chivalry. Watters is such a gentleman. This is not condescending or misogynistic at all. Shout out to Watters for watching Memoirs of a Geisha, set in Japan over 100 years ago, to inform himself on how to treat women.

It?s hard to top a question like that. But Watters managed to pull off that feat. He strolled past a vendor and inquired about the watches that were available for sale. ?I like these watches. Are they hot?? This is a gracious compliment. Watters said he liked the watches. He liked them. My heart soared past the ozone layer as soon as he uttered those words. Regarding the second part, Watters is just so incredibly smart to assume that the vendor sold stolen watches. I love a good cynic. Just as Charles Dickens criticized industrialization and F. Scott Fitzgerald criticized material excess, Watters criticized...a vendor who did nothing to insult Watters. Wow, Watters has what it takes to be a literary legend.

Ah, next comes the first political question. Watters asked a man whether he liked Donald Trump. The man spoke in comprehensible, perfectly understandable English. Despite this, in the video, he received subtitles. Great choice, Fox News. Why should any of your viewers listen to English spoken in accents other than an American one? We all know that the goal is to maximize efficiency, so thank you Fox News for not subjecting your viewers to the task of deciphering English in accents other than American.

In response to the backlash he received about this segment, Watters said on Twitter that he is a ?political humorist.? Well I?m a Fox News satirist. And unlike Watters, I do not consider myself a talented satirist or humorist. However, I will make every effort to bring down the tired stereotypes he perpetuated in his Chinatown segment.

Every now and then, a national issue about Asians pops up. Master of None?s Alan Yang and Aziz Ansari?s success at the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards highlighted the lack of Asian representation in Hollywood. And now, under the pretense of sampling political opinion of Asians, Watters managed to obtain no substantial information about Asian political opinion. His true intention emerged within seconds - he was there to belittle the Asian community.

This is not just a Watters issue. Asians have long suffered negative stereotypes. Docile. Meek. Submissive. Insulated. Unworldly. Unworthy of respect.

In addition to ridiculing Asians, Watters has abused his platform to mock the Arab-American community. Fox News: Watters is not a journalist. He?s not even an entertainer. He?s a racist. Remove Watters from your network

No one's asking any Asians on here to go raid stores and riot.  What I'm asking, is the same right as any American, and that is to protest.  Have you guys not forgotten what being an American Citizen is all about?  "The right to join with fellow citizens in protest or peaceful assembly is critical to a functioning democracy and at the core of the First Amendment."  It is the foundation for making america GREAT.

Have you guys forgotten about Tienanmen square?  Or MLK day?  How MLK day became a Federal holiday?

The fact that almost all of you, including eyephone, make bullshit excuses how you have no time, suggests to me you continue to TOLERATE the belligerent behavior white people continue to have on us.

White parents and black parents teach their kids well to never let anyone walk on them and they better "do right by them", and if someone mistreats them like calling you "ni**er" or "cra*ker", you DEAL with it however it may be and whatever it takes.  Asian parents on the other hand teach their kids "keep your fuckin' mouth shut, if someone calls you a Chink, smile and walk away...get good grades and go to college".

And then... one day.... Pawdawg grows up to be a submissive Asian and realizes reality sets in and then asks why he's not getting his promotion at work (since he's Asian) in corporate america: (http://www.talkirvine.com/index.php/topic,14515.0.html)

Same thing, we asked ourselves why Asians aren't on the emmy awards or grammy show. 

This is a vicious cycle we must break and I see nothing but hypocrites on here.

The tiny problem is, Asians do protest but not that much in the US. Just to name a few previous protests in Asia: Stand in front of tanks, protest with umbrellas that shut down commerce, shut down airports, kick the US military out of their country

Also to note: People went to that Chinatown and found one of the old ladies interviewed.  Fox News Found out ahead of time she was Japanese, not Chinese but aired it anyways
