I don't think it's considered acceptable for people to make fun of black culture if they're not of that culture. Why that is, I'm not sure.
and that's where there is still double standard... because if you say it's okay for Chris Rock, Chappelle etc, to do it because they are black, then why are these white people, esp in the Surreal Life clip making fun of kung fu movie people, they aren't chinese.

and that's exactly right too Slim.
