Is it stereotyping? Sure, but that happens in entertainment all the time. Why are Indians exempt?

Kutcher, however, may have to deal with more than just accusations of racism. As another YouTube commenter put it: "The most offensive part is when Ashton Kutcher thought he was funny." Zing!

I don't mind and neither should the Indians. Black face was a traditional way to demonize and make fun of black people. I can see it being a problem. White and brown face don't have that history. Indians should suck it up and make us some slushies.

So you don't mind being stereotyped as a clueless nerd who sucks at sports, can't dress, can't dance, and doesn't have any "game" with the ladies? Because according to Hollywood, black people are better than us in all of that. But heaven forbid if we stereotype blacks.

Sounds like me actually, lol

I was reading that article yesterday about the black girls who got locked in a restaurant because they refused to pay the gratuity, and there were a bunch of comments below the article from other blacks (or at least alleged blacks) saying it's true that blacks don't tip, and how when they waited tables they would fight over each other to get white people to sit in their section, while ignoring the black customers. :lol

No that's Mexicans!

I don't care about any of this other than I hate Ashton Kutcher for nailing Demi Moore.
