If Asian People Said the Stuff White People Say

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Let's just call it for what it is - using racism ironically to make a point about racism.

It's amusing, but it does have a 'resentful minority' whiff about it.

Nah, let it open to be bumped for giggles.

What I liked about that video was not so much the reverse racial stereotypes but their performance. I just love how they dished out their lines.

I think the girl should have said "round eyes" instead of white, like she did later in the video lmao.

This clip is not about "racism," it's about making people realize they are saying the stupidest shit to other people.
I thought it very funny and a good use of humour to illustrate a point. A few months ago I was talking to a Khmer guy who was living in Australia, and who had cultivated a real "ocker" Australian accent. He asked me where I was from and when I said Australia. He replied really, you don't sound Australian :ROFL2:
