So we haven’t had a Worst Ever article in a little while… but this video gives us an unfortunate reason to resurrect it. I get it, this band (Day Above Ground) has “yellow fever” and they want to poke fun at it. I dunno if there truly is a right way to do that but this wasn’t really it. Its just kind of… ridiculous.
What do you think? Utterly dumb or just all good, light-hearted fun? The band claims they meant no offense, but that doesn’t mean none will be taken? The gratuitous use of Asian stereotypes in particular gets a bit tiring.
This song is us, Day Above Ground, making fun of ourselves (and many, many other guys) obsession with the always lovely, Asian Woman. It pushes this concept to an absurd level, but at the same time is endearing & submissive.. WE ARE NOT RACIST, HAHA! I mean, look at our band, it’s multicultural!! The guy in the bow-tie, our cutie bass player, was born in Indonesia, and he steals the show!! Please don’t take this tongue-in-cheek tribute to some of the most gorgeous women on the planet too seriously!! You’ll ruin the fun of it all!! Thanks for watching, sincerely!
So what are your thoughts? Let’s talk about it.

Tofu, all over you …all over me.. 🙂
Funny stereotype views. If you are not strong enough to laugh at yourself…you’re not asian.
