Stand with Asian Americans Against Racism

The Issue

Here's some context: Link to Youtube = Watters' World Clip

From start to finish, Watters bullies Asian-Americans and Asian immigrants with his vitriolic and latent racism while hiding behind movie clips. This is not okay.

Ignorance is not funny. Calling it "gentle fun" at the end doesn't change the fact that he waltzed in and belittled an entire community. Picking on the elderly is never okay and neither is continuing to perpetuate harmful and offensive stereotypes under the guise of comedy.

Asians are not a comedic trope to be used as entertainment by an ambush journalist who fills half the screen time with movie clips which prevents any sort of intelligible conversations. We demand an apology and implore you to speak out and take action against this commonly accepted racism.

I'm not going to bother writing more because it's a waste of my time but here's the clip:  Link to Youtube = Watters' World Clip
