Since racism is the topic of the week I ran across this from Angry Asian Man. See lsu's "chinese bandits" fight song
Hmm I don't think the song is really racist. Maybe it is I. have to think on that. The old picture? Again sometimes I am never sure where the line is on those things. I guess it is in the eye of the beholder. You know I don't think it is wrong to dress up like a Indian if you are like Florida State. OF course I don't know what exactly a Chinese Bandit is. Were they sort of like the Italian Mob?
Still there is respectful dressing up and then perhaps some that go too far. So I suppose yes it would not be wise to do that in this day and age . The features are a tad overdone to say the least. Like the Indian example no problem with a little facial warpaint but one can go too far. I know there was racism against Asians so perhaps this image comes from that era.
I know a Asian LSU fan so I might ask him.
Oh and by the way no one sings the lyrics to that song anymore at games. I didn't even know the words.
I looked at the picture again. Yeah perhaps racist. I don't get the green skin either. Asians don't look green.
