Crazy Asian Mother

The first time I heard about this video was when my cousin was talking about it. At first, I thought it was a flash cartoon video until I actually found and watched it myself. The video is not meant to be racist or anything, so please don't think it is. It's just a really funny video that makes fun of how Asian parents think that school grades are literally *everything*.

Basically, this is the plot of this homemade "movie":

A couple of Asian boys have their report cards mailed to their house today! As many people know, Asian parents work their children very hard and put a lot pressure on them to make them get good grades. In this video, a boy named Eric gets a B+ in English and gets yelled at by his mom. To try and pick up his grades, he and his friends worked on a MacBeth rap to present to their class. Watch this video and see how Eric and his friends gets trained to learn how to rap with style with help from their Filiipno friend.

Personally, I found that the training part was a little boring, but as long as your computer loads the video fast, you can just forward the video to the ending where they finish their rap. Other than that, just to note, I think there are actually two Erics in the movie... One that plays the boy who gets yelled at by his mother (Erick Tsai) , and the other one who's the stubby boy with the crew cut who plays a lot of roles in the movie (whom I actually think is Erick Liang).

If you would like a little preview of it, please look to your right at my Windows Media Player and click on Play! You don't have to tell me that the kid who plays the kid is an idiot/retard because I know that already. Yeah, he ruined the whole movie.....
