Black vs white.

It's interesting how society always complains about being racist against black people and how we have black history month and stuff like that to commemorate those days where black people were treated as outcasts and next to nothing when they just turn their backs on asians and do the exact same darned thing.
My mom told me that some airheaded New York radio station decided to take this famous song and turned it into a parody that made fun of asians and the tsunami victims. How completely insensitive is that? And there was a time where Abercrombie decided to be funny and put emblazoned the words 'Two Wongs make on White" on their t shirts (actually I found that kinda funny. My cousin remarked that she would've gotten one if they didn't pull them off the shelves. but I guess it is kinda insulting to some).

Have you noticed when singers sing about diversity and racism they always compare whites with blacks and not whites with yellows or blacks with yellows.. I guess it's cuz white and black are complementary but still.

And where are all the Asians in magazines? All we see are the blacks and the whites.. where are all the asian people?

Number of runway slots for Asian models: 1

It makes you feel as if Asians aren't good enough or beautiful enough. Even if you did see an Asian in a fashion spread, they usually have some characteristics that make them look like Caucasians such as high cheekbones or large, double lidded eyes or a tall lithe figure.

Oh yes those DJs who made the parody were forced to donate money to the tsnuami victims. I think that wasn't harsh enough of a punishment. They should have been fired for getting a laugh in someone's misery at the expense of others.
