1. If she's truly being honest about what's going on, I don't think she deserves all that much crap for what she's saying. Is it racist? Yes. Is it true? Probably. Having seen howNpPro93 said:
Does this mean we all need to be assholes about it? No, it doesn't. I can draw from a similar experience where an asian student (I think he was Korean, we have a lot of Korean immigrants here, not that there's anything wrong with that because a lot of them are very nice) transfered to our University. His parents actually came over for a few weeks and were doing laundry in our machines. It was awkward to have to ask them not to. You know what though? They were doing their laundry at the same time because A) They didn't have a washer and dryer -and- B) Their son had never done the laundry before because it was his mother's job and he needed help learning. So, yeah, knock out two birds with one stone, right? If you're going to put quarters into someone's washing machine, it might as well be the school where your kid goes, right? Regardless of how awesome that geasture was from his parents, they still were refused access to our laundry rooms thereafter. However, what we did do is help that student out with his laundry when he needed it and he eventually learned how to do it. The family started doing their laundry at the laundromat (where it cost exactly the same) and the student made some new friends and learned how to do his laundry.
So yeah. No need to be racist, it's just sometimes certain customs like, say, your family functioning as a well oiled unit and having specific jobs is just a concept not as well known in other cultures. For them, it was just how life went. They had always been together and they needed eachother to function. Did it all work out, though? Well, yeah, because the people around the family weren't complete jerks that demanded complete reform and the family were open to change and realised that things worked differently here. This is what we should be striving for. The ability to adapt our culture to that which we live in while retaining the values we cherrish most. It's not hard, it just takes a little openmindedness.
In the end, I agree that what those students are doing is wrong. They shouldn't be talking on phones in a library and their families shouldn't be over-running the dorms just to do their daily chores. The dorms/off-campus apartments are for the students, not the families. Whether you agree or not, well, it's her vlog, she can speak her mind. I don't think she deserves all the downvotes she got, I think she just put the video out at a very hyper-sensitive time towards asians in general with what Japan is enduring, most likely to get more hits on the video. Any press is good press, I suppose.
2. The song is pretty awesome. I chuckled a little. Is it well informed and speak a higher form of intelligence? No, dude's a dumb shit for being a sheep and just giving into what the concencus is without really looking into what that girl is saying. Again, I understand the entire basis of her argument is really "he said, she said" but if she speaks the truth then those students and their families really are out of line. That behaviour shouldn't be tolerated in any student and their families, whether they're black, asian, white, native american, latino or whatever (except purple people, they can go to hell!). It was a cheap stab at asians at a time where asians are a hot button topic. Big deal. Get over your race. Be the bigger man and not talk about it because making a song just gets her what she wants: more hits!
