Is South Park Racist??

The American TV program, South Park is the most famous animation as its nasty contents in America but also around the world. In this animation, adorable looking characters use the slangs, kill other characters, and make fun of serious issues such as the celebrity gossips, political issues, the sexual issue, the religious issues, and the racist issues. This kind of animation is pretty rare because the random people can watch through TV. Even though the side of the producers or company of this TV program cannot choose the people who they provide to, they keep using such a sensitive issues. Actually, its humor is very popular and there is a demand in the society. However, it is sure that it harasses people in fact.

            Actually, I am also the one who likes this TV show but not always. Here is a episode of South Park that harasses me. In this episode, Chinese guy try to murder Japanese guy. It was fine to just watch, but once it starts picturing those characters, I could not enjoy watching this from my heart. The Chinese guy pictured with “the Asian eyes”. Both Japanese and Chinese guy speaks with hard accents. Those Asians on this are pictured with too much emphasis and stereotypes. Also it treats even politic and historical issues on this. If I were ordinal American, I would think it is hilarious and might think it can be true. However, for Asian, it is obvious that we will not feel good. It can be just harassment for us.

            On the other hand, I still love this TV show, and maybe it is because they make a serious issue hilarious, and I know that the South Park is such a stupid TV show. However, as I referred that it is on the air and the random people can watch. There might be people who take it serious and start to think those stereotypes are true. The development of the media changes our life a lot in both good and bad way. We are living with this media and we will in the future. We cannot be controlled by this media society.
