Today, I was trying to get my girlfriend to speak Mandarin. After speaking her first words and taking a break, she posted on Facebook: "I speak ching chong! :D :D :D" FML

Never understood why racism against eastern asian people was considered so hilarious... If someone learning an African language was to write "I speak n***** :D :D :D" on their fb, they'd get a pretty bad reaction (which is right)

Because that's an insulting term for it, obviously.

#33 is right. How is an insulting term that's normally used in a racist way ignorant? (before I get rained with thumbs down, it's obviously sarcasm.)

I'm not sure what's worse, the "ching chong" insult, or the use of 3 ":D" faces. But I think I'll go with the latter.

Agreed. The only thing worse than ignorance is being pleased about your ignorance.

I love it when people reference an FML to another recent FML.

I'd comment with an insult in Mandarin and tell her to translate it if she speaks 'Ching chong'. No but seriously, how offensive!

Okay, that is horribly wrong, but at the same time horribly funny.

I'm sure she wasn't trying to be rude or ignorant. Everybody makes stupid jokes without thinking, and the internet both makes it very public and immortalizes it...fun thought right? But I hope you sat down with her and told her why saying that wasn't okay. Other than that, I think it's cute she was willing to learn some Madarin to connect with you.

No, not everybody. You need to be a special type of person to use derogatory terms as a joke AND find them funny.
