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.

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:
Lol. My wife calls those people "try hard gwailo".

Very very funny.

It's a step up for New Gen Asians, the old ones were too shy and introverted to speak out. Hard to find decent Asian actors and comedians if the culture is introverted.

Quite funny, much like the Dave Chappelle show. About as racist too. ;) Juat gotta laugh it up!

We're 'enjoying' cable TV for the first time - as a linguist I find myself subconsciously grinding my teeth and realise it's because of the 'cultured accent' the ad announcers use. Nothing like putting the wrong emPHAsis on the right sylLAble. That ad about living korREEan really craps me.

Fairly amusing

And now for a great work of humor from a much more self-confident ethnic crew.

While we're being faux racist, this is mildly amusing... The Call Centre
