...and so unoriginally, too.
You can read the full story here, but in a nutshell, Rosie O'Donnell did what a lot of ignorant, no-talent asshats do when they make lame attempts to "imitate" Asians: the whole "ching-chong, ching-chong" routine. Only she made an idiot out of herself on (sigh) The View, a show which is no stranger to controversy.
Rosie says she was making a joke, and that lots of people are offended when she imitates her Southern in-laws. I've seen her imitate her Southern in-laws and it's not the Southern drawl she uses when she imitates them that offends people, it's that she shares intimate details of private conversations that make me cringe. Also, a Southern accent (and speaking English) is not the same thing as mocking Asians with made-up words and the same old tired-ass joke.
Way to set an example for your children, by the way. Not only do you routinely insult their grandparents, but now you're showing your ignorance to boot.
Rosie, explain it away however you want if it makes you feel better, but you are an asshole.
P.S. I copied this post and emailed it to Barbara Walters.
