What the hell is this?
This originally had a disclaimer, but they deleted it.
So by appreciating Asian women, you assume all women from all parts of Asia are the same, go for their slanty eyes and yellow thighs and all that jazz. Just because you have a token Asian dude doesn’t make it OK. Token Asian dude doesn’t work that way. And shame on that Indonesian dude.
Plus, this song isn’t even good.
And who’s that “Asian girl” in the video? It’s model Levy Tran. She only realized her mistake with the video after it came out and backlash ensued.
You didn’t think that these lyrics would offend people, let alone yourself?

Well here we are. How can we get respect when Asian people themselves don’t respect themselves?
But then again, racism is a one-way street. We can have black people call themselves “n*****” without repercussion and they can get all racist with each other and somehow it’s all OK. But when a white dude does it, it’s all bad. It’s disrespectful all around but somehow we’ve let it happen.
Sadly this video will be forgotten within a week and we’ll move on. This bad won’t be famous anymore and everything will just disappear. It will only be a matter of time before something dumb comes again and we’ll be angry for a minute and move on.
We haven’t improved much really. In fact, we’ve really just stayed put and refused to move.
