Just following up on The Nezzer's previous thing about racism in Japan. With that in mind, I felt it important to elaborate on our knowledge of the far east just a little more. Now there are two things that bug the heck out of me, a Chinese-Canadian guy who practices martial arts. The first is people who don't realise there are lion dances and dragon dances (and that the lions are not dragons). This post has nothing to do with that, though; this one's about the other thing.
The other thing that bugs me is when people have issues understanding there are in fact many different dialects of Chinese with two major ones: Cantonese and Mandarin.
Luckily, Russell Peters, and Indo-Canadian stand-up comic, has come to show us the light (as well as an instance of racism he witnessed in China himself) . . . that said, two more things. One, if you don't like sporadic use of bad words you shouldn't watch; two, it's absolutely okay to laugh at his jokes - they're actually more true than you might think:
Next week: the explanation of "be a man!". Maybe.

You will probably enjoy this video as well, in which Teal'c, aka Christopher Judge learns about furries at a convention.
You'll also notice in the related videos, there are mutliple videos with Michael Shanks' aka Daniel Jackson's reactions to slash.

I was wandering 'round the internets and came across a video of a Japanese comedian on the JapanProbe called Sekai No Nabeatsu (Atsumu Watanabe in real life). Apparently, he's recieved tons of attention lately with schitcks that involve acting odd while counting.
Creepy? I think so.
