LOL!!!!! That's that "hidden" racism. Negative stereotypes about different non-"White" groups pervade our society. They may have done this without even realizing what they were doing.

Yeah I had posted this on a mainly black messageboard also and people started e-mailing.
Look at that. Asian and African Americans working together. I think I'm going to cry.

Walmart took the system down.
They claim that other movies like `Home Alone' and `Power Puff Girls' linked to the same movies. Also a documentary about surfers, "Riding Giants," links to the same list of seemingly unrelated fantasy films as the King biopic, including "Polar Express" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."

When I was looking around on the web I found a story about immigrant Asians achieving success in school; but all the "related article" links talk about women being beaten. Obviously whoever runs the site with that article on it must be a bunch of racists and sexists, trying to promote in the public mind the idea that immigrant Asian guys beat up women.
