Worst Ever: Sno – “Eyes Like a Chinese”

Sigh. It’s never good when we can post two “Worst Ever” features in one week. But this one definitely takes the cake. SNO, a group affiliated with Three 6 Mafia, has a new joint called “Eyes Like a Chinese”. I mean… really?!

For the unintiated, squinty eyes are a tell-tale sign of someone who’s consumed a fair amount of marijuana. Some refer to it as having “Chinese eyes” or in this case, “Eyes like a Chinese”. Now, perhaps I’m being too uptight but when a table full of people, none of whom appear to be Asian, sit there eating with chopsticks while making various Asiatic references along with numerous appearances of the “slant-eye pose”, it’s hard for me not to feel offended.

The content of it all isn’t derogatory per se, and I don’t believe they had ill will towards the Asian ethnicity at all. But the fact remains that SNO has exemplifed a great deal of ignorance & lack of discretion by using historically offensive racial gestures and slurs. Taking these actions out of context does not nullify the unquantifiable amount of pain, persecution and judgement associated with them that generations of Asians have experienced.

The best case scenario here is that SNO, and whomever else was involved or green-lit this project, lacks wider cultural understanding and a sense of etiquette. Worst case scenario is that these guys are deliberately indifferent and refuse to acknowledge the greater ramifications of their words and actions. Either way, some education is in order. Not retaliation mind you, but education. And that folks, is why this is a Worst Ever.

  1. WTF , well i guess i can just call SNO a bunch of mutha fckn coke snortin “sticky finger” “GREASEBALLS” sence they hang with three 6 mafia & are italians !

  2. I get the reference with the title but with that being said. that does not excuse the level of ignorance that goes with it. We’re in the twenty first century and you would think this level of ignorance would have gone out with the used of the word demeaning African Americans but no, instead we get this record. How do we expect to get ahead as a society when we’re still dealing with mentalities that lurk from the dark ages. I know it’s not suppose to be offensive but come on, this one is pretty straight forward!

  3. WTF !!!”already suxs balls even without the racist comments” !!! everything is horrable,from the lyrics to the hook ,beat,video,nothin is good on it

  4. You people are.. stupid.. Italians? Do any of these guys look Italian? None of the expressions used in this song were used in a derogatory way at all.. As far as the verses and hook go, that shit is bomb! Open your mind people.
