Hateful, offensive humor has only a few easy targets left: gays, retards, and'our personal favorite'Asians. So we weren’t really surprised to see the Spanish Olympic basketball team making a “Me Chinese!” slanty-eyed gesture for a magazine ad. You think that’s offensive? Ho Rearry?? We put the Spanish ad up against other recent examples of anti-Asian racism in the media using our exclusive Chinaman rating scale…

1989-present: Asian grocers in Hollywood films

RACIST RATING:

Asians run delis like Jews run Hollywood. Yeah, so what? It’s nothing to be ashamed of. We’re more offended that Bobby Lee and Dr. Ken Jeong were so underused in Pineapple Express. What a fucking waste.

2002: Shaq welcomes Yao to the NBA

RACIST RATING:

People gotta stop taking what comes out of Shaq’s mouth seriously. Dude’s a goofball and sometimes says prick-ish things, but it’s never out of malice (outside of his ass-tasting freestyles). Besides, Aries Spears doing Shaq is better than any imitation Shaq will ever come up with.

2004: William Hung appears on American Idol

RACIST RATING:

This muthafucka. We still think he was a network creation. “It’s a singing retarded-looking Chinaman named ‘Hung’! Think about it people!!!” *Entire room explodes in laughter.*

2006: Rosie O'Donnell’s ching-chong act on The View

RACIST RATING:

Rosie O’Donnell is just all-around cunty, isn’t she? This isn’t that far from what Shaq said, but the difference is all in Rosie’s sourpuss delivery. Mean-spirited is what it is. Cunt.

2006: adidas Y1 HUF shoe

RACIST RATING:

Adidas got caught in a shitstorm after they released a limited-edition shoe with a Chinese caricature on the tongue. The shoe was designed by noted graf artist Barry “Twist” McGee, and guess what folks? He’s half-Chinese! He gets a pass. We’re more offended that the shoe is ugly as fuck.

2007: Rob Schneider plays Chinese in I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry

RACIST RATING:
racistratings_5.jpg
Rob Schneider has a lil’ Asian in him (ayo!) but we can’t condone this rotten, asinine, unfunny take as a (Chinese? Japanese? Filipino?) priest. At least get the accent right, you cock boy.

2008: Spanish Olympic basketball team poses slanty-eyed

RACIST RATING:

C’mon y’all. They Spanish. Shit, their soccer fans still make monkey noises at black players. In other words, it’s hard to take offense from a country that we all know is racist anyway. Plus we always knew Pau Gasol was a big twat so it’s no surprise.
