Offensive or Hilarious? The Asian Take On Beyoncé

An a cappella group at Yale put out this video parodying Beyoncé’s seminal/awful hit “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It),” and while it may cause some people to go into political correctness overdrive, I personally found it funny. Satirization of race? Or affirmation of harmful stereotypes? You decide.

  1. No, I don’t think it’s offensive – it’s four Asian women playing with Asian stereotypes. If it was my white ass up there singing it, it would be offensive.
