Those Funny Asian Canadians

I came across this vid by way of Angry Asian Man and apparently an Asian student social club at University of British Columbia is in trouble for a recruitment ad video between a no accent Asian female student with a heavy accented "Hong Kong" boy. It's a parody of the popular Mac/PC commercials, which are funny, but the humor here and the intent of promoting "diversity" just doesn't work for me. In fact, it really does conjure up a lot of the old "ABC" v. "FOB" nonsense.

UPDATE: Apparently, CVC took down the video recently.
