I can see how THIS could be annoying. I have too many Asian friends, with varying degrees intelligence and work ethics to know not be ignorant enough to assume all are geniuses. But what you said is true. But there are worse things to be assumed about oneself. Especially being black or Latino.

I don't really care if you think my opinion matters. I have the right to voice it. I don't think this was anything to be offended by. He attacked EVERYONE, and by the end of the night almost every race was insulted in degree. Should the Academy issue apologies to them as well? Do you see anyone else demanding an apology? No. Because you know what you are getting with Chris Rock. He is provocative and has always used race as a means as getting a laugh. He means no harm in the end.
