Stereotypes are hilarious.

That is, as long as people don't take them seriously.

People are so sensitive about race, they see a rice hat on an icon and are offended. Give me a break.

True enough, but something about the combination of the hat and the label "Rice Skype" just seems a little off to me.

Maybe it's not really all the racist, but it's definately not labeled the best.

Exhibit B: "Skype San"

I am Asian, and 1) I don't see a problem and 2) I think everyone needs to not take these type of things so damn seriously.

All of you people are way too passive about racism......

....'who cares'?

wtf

Everyone should care, even if it doesnt offend you.

It isnt mature to be inconcerned about racism, or the categorizing of people.

Stupid fucks. I hear ya Miikro.
