Quiz 6 Question 2

Although performed on Comedy Time on TV which is owned by a corporation, Anjelah Johnson performs a live comedy act making fun of nail shops. She automatically emphasizes the stereotype that all nail places are run by Asian women. She constructs their race in this video by using an Asian accent that Americans usually use when imitating someone of Asian decent, saying stereotypical phrases that women in nail shops usually say, and making fun of their culture in some aspects. Although many people find this comedy act to be funny, it can also come off as very offensive and disrespectful towards the Asian race.
