On this blog I don’t like talking about matters of great importance, trying to keep things light, but I saw something on YouTube that interested me greatly. The video is called Yellow fever is an interesting 15 minutes long short film by a group of media studies studients in America. The film is comedy following one centeral character, trying to answering the question

“Why asian girls date white guys but white girls don’t date asian guys?”

This video is an interesting take on a social issue which pokes fun at a matter that could very easily have been seen as being racist. It is very funny, the sound effects by themselves bring a smile to my face. The fact that it so over the top also helps to detract away from dealing with a serious issue. The more that I think about this video, the more that it intestests me. Even through I know that it was made with only good fun in mind but I can not help but bit just a little bit offended. As a white male myself, I guess I took it a little personally, but I still think that it has a very interesting message and topics like this should really be voiced.
