funny racism (stupid and non-violent)
Recently a friend of mine was part of a school exchange programme with Thailand. The first night they were there there was an entertainment thing when the Brits and Thailandians were meant to show off how cool their cultures were. The British students sung a half-arsed version of Let It Be, the organisers stopped the music after the second verse I think. Then the Thai students put on a play about white people being evil whores. Some of them put on white masks with Caucasian features and exaggerated make-up, then maskless Thai students stabbed them and cheered. The Britishers watching weren't actually threatened physically or verbally, they were treated fine, someone just thought this was the best way to entertain them. To be fair the person in question and me agree that it's funny as fuck.

Does anyone else have any good stories about racism so ridiculous (and not connected to actual abuse) that it's comical? Will settle for interesting stories about the black and white minstrels. Or the sitcom "Heil Honey I'm Home", which was cancelled after one episode. Stuff like that.

Actually to be honest I just felt like sharing that story, so fuck it.
