Not amusing...

but let's not be so quick to believe the tape's "origins". A quick search of the internet reveals that "Japan One Television" does not exist, the morning news being watched in the movie is actually in Chinese, and at least one of the actors is North American (the "daughter" is Canadian). I've also seen commentary that the little bit of Japanese spoken has an American accent, and that the audience laughter is distinctly NON-Japanese.

My thoughts? Its homebread racism at its best... guised to project a third party as the perpetrator.

I'm not all too bothered at the usage of the N word. Yes, I find it offensive, but until we as a people stop using it to refer to each other, I have little merit to get hot and bothered when somebody else uses it.

The part of the piece that confuses me most is the presence of a Black actor in it. What could they have possibly "sold him on" to make it okay for him to do that feature??
