Product Demo: Creative Dual Keyboard
Something about this is crazy funny. The guy doesn’t look like he belongs at all, but once he gets going, he shows that he’s got some fingering chops. “Dis is Rock and Roll.”

OK, he looks more like a scientist that a wild rock and roll musician, and that is…maybe…mildly humorous…but I sense a bit of repeated racism here… (If this matters, I’m a white guy, not Asian.) While I’m not that interested in the instrument, he definitely demonstrated something pretty cool for those into it.

The things that make us funny to each other as human beings are our expectations and idiosyncracies.
At first blush, the guy simply looks like a science teacher, or a librarian…a gentler soul than your average rock ‘n’ roller. If it was a racist comment, it would have been that because he’s [Asian or whatever], he doesn’t belong demoing keyboards…instead he belongs [in some other profession]…because that’s all “those people” do.
Describing our differences is “human”, not racist. We all need to grow thicker skin, or we’ll spend our lives walking on eggshells.
Additionally, not all of us find the same things funny. Sounds like this one just didn’t “work” for you. Fair enough.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, though!
