UPDATE: rosie has given a truly heartfelt response to my work in her blog.after a brief overview of some comments, here's my reply:1) regardless how ya'll felt about the video, i truly appreciate all of you taking the time to provide your honest opinions of it. i believe this can help address where we're really at and improve everyone communicating with one another2) i understand that rosie was joking. i am actually addressing her defensive reaction upon being told why, "ching chong," might be inappropriate or offensive. 3) i do not hate rosie. this situation is merely a way to frame the discussion of people being open to learn from one another, admitting that they might be ignorant about some things. i actually believe the sentiment in the piece applies to all groups. hence, "to all..."4) i am currently under the impression that the terms, "queer community," "plus-size," and, "lesbian," are all politcally correct. however, i will research the validity of that belief.5) i am not threatening that asians will punish all the non-asians in the future. i am implying that the population of the world is predomi- nantly asian, and that just because in one context she does not interact with asians, doesn't mean that a context will not occur in which she will have asians in her life.6) woody fu produced this. ryan ling edited it. thank you to tinnie chow 4 everything.

Nov 18, 2008 - The DH segment was said through a character who was portrayed as being an ignorant wench. Just like on ER when a resident nurse told the Lesbian doctor that she was going to hell. Yes, it's incredibly offensive, but it's all a part of the world. Just as it is a part of our entertainment. It's their to piss us off. I think protesting something like that is rather absurd.

Nov 18, 2008 - what ever happened to "Sticks and stones may break my bones BUT words will never hurt me!!"I guess some of us want to draw attention to our race whatever it may be, and persons that make such a big deal about what race they are and want to put in "In your Face" I believe are the true racists. In life in general we as a world of diversty need to really lighten up. Most of us in our lives one time or another are guilty of saying stupid remarks like Rosie did. But that's all it was,just stupid.

Nov 18, 2008 - What I find ironic is the way Rosie plays the 'lesbian' card all the time. Fucking hypocrite.

jaysuscrust Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Have you seen the latest episode of south park? That's actually playing on the "ching chong" thing more than Rosie. I presume, judging by your response to rosie's use of this terrible joke that you condemn equally the South Park series and it's creators if not more so?

Nov 18, 2008 - South Park slams on everybody though.Rosie's a self-acclaimed fighter against bigotry, but she loves to ridicule select groups like Asians, Catholics, etc. That's why some people can't stand her.

Nov 18, 2008 - Message to partysweet:The little saying sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. This has got to one of the Biggest LIES in humanity. when you break your bones they heal and unite back together but words that hurt cut deeper and deeper into a persons soul that may take a lifetime to heal or may never fully heal. I assume you have never experienced prejudice or racism of any kind then? if you had then you would not think the way you do.

Nov 18, 2008 - in a lifetime, we come across hundreds- if not thousands of people who leave an impression on us. Rarely can we recall a moment where that impression was lasting and epic enough to make us reflect about what life is all about, and how much it will give when we give back...I'm glad to say, through rambling this is one of my lasting impressions from Beau. Even though I don't know you personally, you words have reached the highest level of connection I've known. Thank you

Nov 18, 2008 - If the joke was about Chinese I could understand, but it was a comment on the media. Even over in China they're gonna have this unimportant story was her point. But that's not why ye'all offended. No. If she took three months of Chinese first we'd have no problem! I live in Taiwan. A restaurant here was called "Concentration Camp" w/pics of starving/dying Jews. Really swank place for Taiwanese. Please comment on this if you're really such champs of social justice. u want 2 say: Look us 2! lol

Nov 18, 2008 - Dude, Carlos Mencia's act is mostly about what you said: Making fun of Arabs as terrorists. A LOT of Dave Chappelle's Show was usually something racist, mostly about White people. Yeah, I got offended sometimes. But for the most part, it was funny. And even so, I felt no need to protest against it. Think about what you're saying. We can't eliminate ignorance and racism from our entertainment because it's just as much a part of the world as all the good in it.
