I'm Asian and I do not find this racist at all. o__o I actually love all these artists to be honest. It just made me laugh when I saw the title of the mix.
Haha I'm Asian and I can tell you that not all Asians study like mad (and sadly I don't fit into that stereotype). Great playlist btw!
Sure it's racist, but it's funny... Why even bother arguing if it is or not, who cares, it was meant to be funny. Why does the rest of the world need to know that you were offended? You don't have a right not to be offended, shut up and move on. Sometimes things that are funny are offensive to people without senses of humour. And really, you think any Asian person is going to cry themselves to sleep because the world only see's him as an industrious smart person? It's using a racial stereotype... so? People with half a brain can discern between what is light hearted silliness and genuine hateful speech.
i think stashabobasha is a dumb bitch
HAHAHA! agreed.
Really, study like an Asian? There was no part of you that was like, "Hmmm, this might be like totally racist, maybe I should name this something else!"? Maybe your next mix will be "Gold Dig like a White Girl" or "Subjugate like a White Man"?
**** Here's a tip: if you're categorizing a group of people based off of racial assumptions, it's racist, EVEN if it's a "positive" association ****
There's enough racism in this world, can we please try to avoid it for something as simple as a mix name? Thank you
dude, it was a joke title. im pretty sure shes not racist. so just chill... because honestly one post hating on this girls mix title is not going to change the world or anything. thank you.
Thank you :) I have lots of Asian friends, and am not even a little racist. So thanks for standing up for me :)
if you dont like it, don't look at it or listen to it. THANKS MOM :)
I don’t think it was taken too far; there are all kinds of racial stereotypes towards every race and I think you’re attacking this girl about her mix title because she is white. If she was Asian and said it you wouldn’t be on her dick like you are now. I know there are a few mixes out there that say “white girl wasted” or something to do with white girls’ getting drunk, that’s racist, saying that’s all we are good for. So why don’t you go comment on those mixes too?
false, stereotyping. not racism
Ahh, the classic, "I'm totally, like friends with people that are that race, so I CAN'T be racist!", preceded by the perennial, "ZOMG it was a joke lulz" defenses against racism.
Definition of racism, because you're apparently unaware: "The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race"
Hmmm.... Yup, it's still racist.
I'm not hating on you as a person, I'm mocking your choice to use racial profiling in your mix name. If you truly don't want to be seen as racist, then avoid classifying groups by their so called 'racial characteristics', regardless of whether you think it's funny. Don't forget, anything you post on the internet will be there FOREVER.
Lol Asian power!! *Raises Fist
rude, that's racist.
8tracks goes where you go.
Everyone needs to chill out and go back to the studying.. that's why you're here, right?
