Besides for the obvious blackface in this video and another video they did in the past, i do think another reason they are being ridden so hard on this is because they are a frat. An asian frat at that. One that shouldn't even have a whiff of participation in any type of racism, intentional or not.
Do i think this is being blown out of proportion? Yes. But is it justified to do so? Yes. Why? Because these kids were stupid and ignorant, and maybe they'll finally learn a lesson?
It doesn't help that our Chancellor is black anyhow. lol

Golden rule
It really doesn't matter how much racism is going on around the world for me there is only one race and that is the human race,we all bleed red and share the same internal parts when we die we all turn to dust so i do my best not to let racism get to me or be judgmental just because the person in front of you looks different.let's not forget the Golden rule it applies to us all in my opinion.
Peace

Polite does not == least raciest.
My mother is from japan. Japan has strong opinions on other races. They will not burn a cross on your front porch like the US does but your going to have a hard time finding a job.
Japan does seem to have the lock down on polite and least or low crime though.

Nice find. thx.
I don't know that you can say that every one in Asia is the same race. Are you aware of what "Asia" comprises? It includes the Middle East, India, Russia, China, Japan, southeast Asian countries and all of the island nations north of Australia. I personally still struggle to define different races vs different cultures but I feel pretty confident that Russians are a different "race" than Indians.

Read some more history... The US was not the worst offender and small potatoes compared to say, the Romans, Persians, or Egyptians. I'm not saying quantity makes it okay, but this was not a new practice. There are still slaves today, though slightly different (read up on debt slavery/bondage).

I've been to Asia (Hong Kong, SK, Japan) on several 5 day trips and while I didn't experience rasism towards me (a white guy) that does not mean that some Asian cultures are not rasist towards other Asian cultures or foreigners.
I think America as a whole is much more open minded and accepting (now in 2013) of people from all cultures, backgrounds and ethnicities than most other countries (including Asian ones) in the World.
About racism outside the US (non-Americans) ... I have been told by several people I know who are Asian (not born in US) and lived in different Asian countries (eg a Chinese person visiting S. Korea or Japan and vice-versa) that they were treated badly by locals and highly singled out for not being a native. I was also told that treatment as an outsider was FAR more prevalent oversees than how we Americans treat foreigners who come here.
A co-worker of mine is Vietnamese and married to Japanese woman. Neither were born in the US but both are now Citizens here and occasionally travel to Asia for 2+ weeks to see their families. He has told me about how he has been treated by the locals and how (his words) in Japan you cannot truly achieve success in business unless you are Japanese. He said that racism is far more prevelant there towards foreigners than in the United States. I know that is just one example but I know him well and he is friendly towards all people. He was describing how he was treated when visiting on multiple occasions.
My own thoughts are that I just don't know but it does make sense that other countries across the world from Asia to Russia to the EU would be more hostile to foreigners than we are in America. America is a melting pot and truly unique.
Perhaps you had a different experience. Have you ever lived in another country in Asia that was not your ethnic background?

Ok, I'm headed to Iceland!
I recently read a very informative book that I would like to recommend to all interested in knowing more about the history of racism in the US during the post civil war period.
Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II
Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II: Douglas A. Blackmon: 9780385722704: Amazon.com: Books
There is also a free 90 minute PBS documentary video online. It was released in 2012. If you watch the video I still recommend the book because it goes into much greater detail on the subject.

The book I mention above is largely about the usage of debt bondage laws and other Jim Crow laws to re-enslave back Americans from 1868 - 1940.
