You Look Like A Little Black Boy

Um...

UMMM!

Man, that little girl stuck with her friend when she had the chicken pox, and here she is throwing her under the black person bus like it never meant anything. "But you don't have the chicken pox." UH, SAME DIFF! What is this video? It's like a training video for Racists But Who Still Want Perms. "You won't really be black. Tough it out." WHAT? This video is your haircut. (Thanks for the tip, Jane.)

I kept on expecting a spokesperson for the KKK to show up in a suit, telling parents the major epidemic of Blackification.

The little boy may look black, but everyone around him looks like assholes.

Usually, I don't like to side with bullies, but that girl totally looks like a boy. It also doesn't help that she decided to borrow her dad's golf shirt and jeans...

This left me with so many questions that I have no idea how to answer. Was this a PSA or something to be watched for entertainment? What the hell does chickenpox have to do with anything? Why did she get the perm in the first place? Where is this politically incorrect town she lives? So many questions....

so who's the racist here? towards the end it look like (little black boy) girl really doesn't want to look like a black person, like it's the scourge of the earth. of course, her mother's opinion ain't helping anything either.

Racists FTW: "And it's not like you're really black" (in a it's-not-that-bad tone) and "You think I look dumb, too", which is kind of the most confusingly obvious racist comment.

The kid on the bike was teasing her really hard. Not cool man. But also, thats what you get for having a kind of ambiguous skin color and hanging out with assholes.

Ok, so this child of indeterminate gender shows a picture to Billy, possibly indicating that the hairstyle was inspired by some celebrity (presumably not a black one)...
So I'm guessing the message is 'don't copy celebrities because you could end up looking like a black person, which is even worse than chickenpox but also completely different'?

Why did that black kid have white parents and keep demanding she wasn't black?

1. there was no black teen in the Goonies. stop trying.
2. that is the most bizarre/yet-accurate description of the treatment of blacks, isn't it?

Forget Seth McFarlane for being the Worst, everyone involved in the creation of this video is THE WORST. Being offended that it's racist is passe. The writing is horrible! At least it should have been clever if it was going to be so blatant. Tsk Tsk!

This is so much like now a days how guys are so concerned about looking "gay"

"Mom all the kids are telling me that I look like I'm gay with this hair cut"
"Well son, it's not like you're actually gay!"

Still, it's funny that nobody (including myself) thinks to call this sexist but everyone gets the racism.

Which reminds me of this brilliant (and very old) piece by Douglas Hofstadter, where he (satirically) replaces "male" and "female" with "white" and "black" and vice versa. Funny, painful, and potentially tl;dr.
