Does anyone else find this Six Flags commercial offensive?
Maybe I am being oversensitive, but I think having your cat chase a laser is at least three flags of fun. Insensitive bastards!

Haha I was actually watching that thinking that some Asians might get pissy about it but it's an Asian in the ad so I don't know who you can get mad at, it's like a black person saying the N word.

As long as it wasn't a mexican immigrant. At least the asians behave in our country and make an effort to be constructive.

An Asian guy yelling, "More flags, more fun, Six Flags!!" is the same as a black person saying the N word????? I must be missing something. Did railroad supervisors call Chinese workers "Six Flags" in the 1800s???

I went into the Subway in Reston at Fox Mill shopping center and there were a bunch of Asian people working there. Their English was so bad that every person ordering had some problem.
One guy said, "You are making the wrong the sub, that's not what I ordered, stop you're making the wrong sub!! Stop stop stop..." The lady just looked at him with a confused cat look.

Over the weekend I ordered some takeout from a chain restaurant (not Chinese). The guy taking the order was Asian. Totally fucked up the order.

"our country." Last time I looked, there were millions of Mexican-Americans and Asian-Americans. Are you saying Mexican-Americans and Asian-Americans aren't part of "our country." Or, for that matter, legal immigrants????

Finicially? Looks like you need to spend sometime in the Library, or school for that matter (quit skipping). My reference to you concerned your comment about asians making 'an effort to be constructive'. It was a facetious remark in regards to your non constructive comments on this site. I guess you didn't get the sarcasm or irony of mine.

It saddens me that Asians are castigated in this thread. Asian-Americans are one of the best assimilated cultures into general American (USA) society/culture. As a whole they value education and families are very supportive. As a group, Asian-Americans do very well in our schools and work industriously.
Why, then, are the "triads" emerging, the Asian gangs?

Because people are people, no matter what their race and skin color are, and when you make ignorant, sweeping generalizations about them, it should really come as no surprise that you're incredibly wrong about the way things are.

Since Six Flags is basically a black amusement area, the ad had to feature other than a black or a white, hence the Asian guy. Think of the consternation if either a white was shown or a black.

Six Flags does it again! Not happy just to amputate a girl's legs in Kentucky, this time they decapitated a kid in Georgia..
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5icJKWwVpBMEbT5HEKFrs_UBNUgWQD91KDNQ01
Granted, the kid shouldn't have been where he was. But it seems like the place has been unable to get over the Dan Snyder ownership curse.

actually, this is just southerners being southerners. "Restricted Area? LET'S GO IN!"
