I don't usually get into all the Fox-bashing, because for one, I don't have cable TV, so I never see the stuff, and two because there are plenty of other people who bash Fox much more thoroughly and obsessively than I ever could. That said, this clip via Media Matters (obv) totally blew my mind:
Oh, ha ha ha! That is so hilarious that the Asian USC students don't know anything about their apparently famous and glorious football* team! Let's laugh and point at these nerds because they probably care about, ew, science 'n' stuff, ick, rather than the sports program which should be their primary concern. Plus, if this doesn't prove that the weird yellow aliens surrounding us and crushing in on us from all sides are anti-American, what will it take to convince you? Mock them! Mock them now! These Chinks and Japs is hirarious!
*That's the one with the pointy ball, right?

Ha ha; who's gonna get the last laugh, and who's gonna get their pathetic dumb racist asses kicked when it's all over? "Tommy Trojan" would be funny, if he wasn't so sad.
These students can speak at least two languages. I wonder how many Blowhard Bob can speak.
This is offensive on so many levels it's really hard to begin enumerating. So let's just say fuck Fox News and Rupert Murdoch (and his Chinese wife) along with his pestilential family. May the earth soon swallow them all up.
Holy Shit! What the fuck was the point of that bit supposed to be? It's hilarious that recent immigrants don't keep up with American sports?
Also, great point about the 2 languages, ErgoDan!
I was born here and don't give a fuck about football. So there.
About a minute in this became so painful I couldn't watch it any more. It's upsetting to me that this kind of ignorance gets any traction at all, anywhere. I have tried and tried to be understanding and compassionate. I have been willing to believe that dialogue and information can get through to the thickest head. But this is more than ignorance and misunderstanding.
No; this is willful. I have friends whom I have tried to talk down from saying mean things about and to the people who would perpetrate and or buy into this kind of crap. I'm getting to the point where I want to join in with the angry, frustrated ones and do my convincing with a hammer. It's taken me a long time to get here, but we are on the verge of disaster, and I think this kind of thinking and behavior is going to push us over the brink.
I have been radicalized by stupidity.
What really bothers me about this, is that each student is trying to be polite and cooperative, all while being mocked. I don't get the impression that these students saw the camera and came running over for attention. Fox will then position itself that when someone complains, "they" don't have a sense of humor.
