This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.

Some of my friends think it bad that I find this really funny, because it's apparently racist.

Where is the line drawn? Discrimination, or merely prejudice? Is this video genuinely prejudiced?

I don't think it's racist, just comedy.

My stupidity is self evident.
It's just dumb and edgy. Funny, but still just dumb and edgy.

It's certainly one of Rucka's worst songs, normally his stuff is racist anyway but it's for comedic effect not because he actually thinks Asians/Blacks/Indians/Whites/Frogs are untermenschen.

So yeah, it's racist but it's from the point of comedy and not actual discrimination.

Another question, is this one racist and who exactly is it taking the piss out of?

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
He has black friends in real life, so that inclines me to believe it's not.

Controversy

Some critics have labeled Ali as a racist as a reaction to his songs, although his humor seems heavily influenced by mainstream comedy television shows such as South Park, Family Guy, and The Chapelle Show.[1] His videos and YouTube channels are frequently removed (since he started creating music videos he has had 18[citation needed] YouTube channels deleted for terms of service violations), but are reuploaded by his fans, who call themselves "Nuckas".

In 2010, three British students were suspended from school when a Korean child was offended as they showed one of Rucka's videos "Ima Korean" to their class while studying culture. The school's headmaster called the song "probably racist", which was used as the title for Rucka Rucka Ali's next album.[7]

On July 24, 2013, Rucka Rucka Ali released the song "Zayn Did 9/11" (a parody of Selena Gomez's "Come & Get It") to YouTube which mocked Muslim One Direction member Zayn Malik, jokingly saying he committed the September 11 terrorist attacks. The single cover features a silhouette of Malik in front of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center as they were attacked.[8] The song, along with an accompanying music video released several days later, angered One Direction fans and others.[9] Business Standard called the song "offensive" and a "racist attack" on Malik.[10] In early August 2013, Malik's fans successfully petitioned to have it removed from iTunes. Rucka Rucka Ali's Twitter account was also suspended indefinitely for unknown reasons, which resulted in him creating a new one.[11]

In late November 2013, Rucka Rucka Ali was involved in another controversy after his song "Only 17", a parody of "Just A Dream" by Nelly, was accidentally played uncensored over the speakers at a McDonalds in Wales.[12][13][14] Subsequently, McDonalds issued an apology to the offended customers.[15] That same week, Rucka Rucka Ali responded to the controversy on his YouTube channel by jokingly demanding a personal apology from the restaurant.[16]

I doubt he is actually racist <.<

He has songs making fun of just about every racial stereotype on Earth; if he's racist, then that would mean he's racist to his own, and every other, race.

Precisely hehe.
If you mock and ridicule every stereotype on the planet, chances are you are either a full on misanthropist orrrrr you are just a normal person with a good sense of humour.

I am always around, but never seen. I am often avoided, but you can't out run me. for I will come when you're old and grey, or maybe even the very next day. I will come with cold embrace, and give you rest with a chilled kiss on your face. I come in many forms of emotional state, whether it's irony, love, laughter, or hate. I am everyone's final fate.
That was amazing, not racist in my books.

It's incredibly racist.

But incredibly hilarious so it's okay.

To me a song is raciest if it's intended to be it. Like the song you heard in American History X. With Rucka his songs are intended to be funny.

rac·ism
ˈrÄËŒsizÉ™m/Submit
noun
the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

Not, it's not racist because this isn't a song made by a bunch of in-breed KKK neo-nazis spewing "WHITE POWER" like a bunch of mongoloid idiots

I die laughing whenever black comedians like Chris Rock make jokes about white people. It's hilarious because 90% of time I'm like uhhhh.......well shit, he's right lol"
