Wong-Fu Still Making Asian Videos
Posted on 30. Apr, 2010 by Simon in Pop Culture
Alright, so they guys at Wong-Fu are a bit late to this party. This website has been analyzing Asian Avenue profile pictures for years already. Still, gotta give the Wong-Fu dudes credit, this is a hilarious video for a) its production quality and b) its ability to make uncomfortable stereotypes (black people love material things!) seem ridiculously light-hearted. Basically, my understanding is it’s ok to make ethnic jokes as long as you are sufficiently self-deprecating (see: Russell Peters).
As a side note: is this what Wong-Fu has been up to? Isn’t this the exact same stuff they were doing in college except with a larger budget?

Man, even on the internet Asians are cliquey.
