Video of the Day Lunchtime Quickie: Even More Racism for Jeremy Lin

Posted by on Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 12:10 PM

It's so socially acceptable to make fun of the Asian guy. (Ha ha, fortune cookie, I mean, fortune ROOKIE!!!) This sorority girl is just icing on this week's cake.

Not nearly as easy as it is to make fun of the Greek system.

Perhaps I was distracted by the boobs, but I don't get it.

That is some genius guerilla marketing or whatever the kids are calling it these days.

It's pretty apparent that she's gotten through life to date by distracting people with her boobs, Doug. But 1) his name is Jeremy, not Jerry; 2) he plays basketball, not football; 3) for the Knicks, not the Giants; and 4) he's Asian, not black. Get it now?

And no, it's not racist. Just stoopid.

She's a college student (yeah, yeah, FSU, but nonetheless) and she gets her news through twitter.

it doesn't appear that the eastern 2/3 of this nation has much familiarity with Asian people.

also, tits.

Whew, just read the comments on YouTube. She's getting eaten alive.

During the next all-in Stranger staff meeting, will someone PLEASE read the definition of "racism" out loud for all to hear?

@8: That's what I thought. So what's with Kelly O's fortune cookie comment? Also, he's not a rookie. This is his second season in the NBA.

@#13 I didn't watch the video (just came here expecting some entertaining excoriation of the shallow dumbass), but I think the "fortune cookie" comment is a reference to a famous (infamous?) sign at a recent Knicks game (iirc, Lin's head, a broken Fortune Cookie, and something about him being the team's good fortune)

Obviously a joke. If she's interested enough to make the video she has to have seen Lin's picture.

This has to be a parody. She misspells Lin's name on the caption, has the wrong team, and the wrong sport. What sorority girl doesn't at least know who the sports stars are?

I've watched it twice, and don't hear the fortune cookie comment (yeah, I'm distracted by her boobs. Dispicable people can be super hot...one of god's cruel jokes). I only hear her saying she loves black guys...so I'm not ever sure how a fortune cookie comment could be construed as racism against Asians.

Anyway, I think it's all a joke, like others have said. It's pretty tough to be that stupid; and I checked out her twitter account (again, sucker for boobs)...and there's only one post on it. If she's been hearing about "Jerry Lin" on twitter, why is her account so inactive (I know, you don't have to have an account to follow twitter...but it still seems too suspicious).

Satire. Cute face, killer body wicked sense of humor, that Jerry guy has all the luck. Or maybe it is just good fortune?

Every time a Stranger writer calls someone or something racist, I think of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jutcMDjtv…
