Fine, Fine -- You Want to Know What the Korean Thinks About This Video

Posted on 18:07 by Unknown

The video was shared twice on the Korean's Facebook wall, then emailed a few times more. Fine, fine -- here is what the Korean thinks.

The Korean thinks the video is really funny.

The end.

To elaborate: after the Korean called the "kimchee-scented Kleenex" bit from NPR racist, many wondered where is a line between racism and a funny, good-natured ribbing that involves ethnicity. Those people need not wonder no more: this video is the line. This is funny. Go over the line, and it is not funny anymore.

P.S. If you prefer avoiding racist shitheads, the Korean recommends not reading the comments on this Youtube video.
