How is this racist?

Is it stereotyping? Sure, but that happens in entertainment all the time. Why are Indians exempt?

Kutcher, however, may have to deal with more than just accusations of racism. As another YouTube commenter put it: "The most offensive part is when Ashton Kutcher thought he was funny." Zing!

I don't mind and neither should the Indians. Black face was a traditional way to demonize and make fun of black people. I can see it being a problem. White and brown face don't have that history. Indians should suck it up and make us some slushies.

So you don't mind being stereotyped as a clueless nerd who sucks at sports, can't dress, can't dance, and doesn't have any "game" with the ladies? Because according to Hollywood, black people are better than us in all of that. But heaven forbid if we stereotype blacks.

Cheap bastards they are. Worked on an indians house last year. Told the boss to turn them down from then on.
