So what do you think of the video? Do you find it funny or rude? It really depends on you. If you ask me, I find it VERY funny indeed. Some things that he said might be true but the other bits and pieces are just made up for the sake of comedy. I don’t blame him anyway. It’s hilarious!

This video is actually made to portrait the perceptions of people other than Asians, what they think of Asian parents. Yes, it is true that most Asian parents are concern about their children’s education, they tend to be stricter on that area but they are not that extreme like what is showed in the video. Though some are?

Perceptions are sometimes made up out of nothing and some are planted in their mind since they were an infant. Like for example, a race have some ideas about another race, the way they talk, the way they think, the way the act and even the way they live. They were taught by their parents to be racist. Like the video I watched the other day, a Malay girl went to a shop with the intention of buying batteries. She was approach by a Chinese boy and the conversation goes like this.

Chinese boy : Apa you mau beli?
Chinese boy : Awak mau beli apa?
Malay girl : Battery 2A ada?
Chinese boy : Ada.
He gave her a baby milk bottle.
Malay girl : Ni botol la. (she giggled)
Chinese boy : Sorry. (while smiling and he hand her the battery)
Chinese boy : Dua ringgit.
Then she took a few candies in a bottle.
Malay girl : Ni satu berapa?
Chinese boy : Dua puluh sen.
Malay girl : Saya ada lima belas sen aje… tak cukup.
They where then interrupted by the Chinese boy’s mother.
Chinese boy’s mother : Hey, why the long conversation with the Malay girl?! (in Mandarin)
Chinese boy : I’m coming. (in Mandarin) (said with an annoyed face)
Chinese boy : Tak cukup tak payah beli lah!
Malay girl : (she smiled after making a slightly sad face) Sorry, terima kasih.

This may look like a meaningless story but it had made an impact on me. It shows me that the Chinese boy was actually taught not to have mingled with other races. He quickly replied her with a rude manner after being sounded by his mother.

What do you think?
