This is pretty straightforward in its racism. It's a racist caricature of Chinese people. If a television or movie actor did this they'd be out of a job really fast. Shame Youtube can't even manage the most basic of standards.

YouTube isn't television though. It doesn't have the same standards. Would you see squeakers doing terrible covers of Let It Go on TV? No.

Yes anyone should be free to make content ( no matter whether it's good quality content or not ) but there are certain things that are ban-worthy and I think dressing up and doing a racist Chinese impression is on the ban list.

So . . . destroying someone's ability to make a joke that is OBJECTIVELY funny? Nothing should be protected from jokes.

It's racist, and if you think him dressing up like a Chinese man to perpetuate a racist stereotype is funny that says quite a bit about you I'm afraid.

I'm not saying I found it particularly funny, but I know we can't protect a class from edgy jokes. Racist or not, do you think he doesn't have ANY fans from that demographic who laughed at the joke or at least chuckled?

Do you realize that he's promoting a racist stereotype and that the content is unarguably racist? It doesn't matter who did/didn't find it funny, it's racist material. That's not up for debate.

Oh, I know it is. But, there's a word called Ribaldry, AKA blue comedy. This form of comedy includes "bordering on indelicacy to gross indecency".
