throughout the years, there are inclinations towards certain race, certain people, and certain religion. even now, there is much insensitivity, the whites against the blacks, or the British's 'inability' to deceipher a Chinese from a philipino and others.
but why actually? is it because they are just plain insensitive and naive, or is it because that the internet is now feeding younger children with these 'facts'. though i do not know who is more famous in the US, i do know that most of us students know who is 'peter chao'. the youtube sensation says many insensitive comments, and a few more famous episodes depics him fighting with a Jewish, and there are lots of racist and insensitive comments in their quarrels.
but how can we curb these people like peter chao. he is persistent. although he has been banned 3-4 times, each time he has created a new account to share his insensitive videos.
he does not earn anything, right, but the small amount that buys his merchandise. for that small profit, he is making these videos.
he does it for the publicity, but he does not think of the consequence of his 'publicity', he is not thinking of the tong term consequence. they are copying his racist jokes, and spreading his name far and wide.
should youtube, a site that all videos are accepted, draw a line whereby what kind of videos they are broadcasting to others, and the consequence. if youtube stop being that lax, i am sure that racism will see a curb.
