Asian Girlz: Racist or Insensitive?
Last week, the band Day Above Ground released their single and “tribute” to Asian women called, Asian Girlz. The video went viral, but for all the wrong reasons. Many found the song offensive and accused the band of being racist. With lyrics that include, “”I love your creamy yellow thighs / Ooh your slanted eyes,” and “it’s the Year of the Dragon / Ninja p***y I’m stabbin,’” it’s little wonder why some might be offended.
The band eventually released a statement stating that the video was simply “satirical.” Plus, according to the band, there is no way they can be racist because they have an Asian friend – one of the band members is Indonesian.

Yeah like bigots who use the cliché that "some of my best friends are jews/catholics/
muslims/gays/blacks/asians/etc.,
etc."
Once again the true racists take something that was intended to celebrate a race and declaim it as a racist action.
