Is Amish Paradise by Weird Al Yankovic racist?

Except for that one line where he calls a bunch of Amish folks the n word it's really not.

redbreegull · 02-08-2018, 11:41 PM

but he's dressing up in their cultural uniform and making jokes about the 5 things people know about amish people. also the amish are not hostile towards technology but the video depicts them destroying electronics, vinyl records, and telephones. also he conflates amish and mennonites. not the same.

redbreegull · 02-08-2018, 11:42 PM

also he calls them primitive

redbreegull · 02-08-2018, 11:43 PM

not gonna lie though I LOLed at the part with the centerfold

ilikeplanets · 02-08-2018, 11:46 PM

I don't think the Amish are a race

redbreegull · 02-08-2018, 11:59 PM

no but they are a distinct cultural, religious, and arguably ethnic group.

redbreegull · 02-13-2018, 04:28 PM

also they are distinct cultural group and I'm pretty sure at this point you could identify an Amish person via their DNA because it's been an exclusive population for half a millennium. not sure what you are rolling your eyes at

redbreegull · 02-13-2018, 04:30 PM

actually Weird Al has a Jewish parody too but he's not Jewish :/

slunken · 02-13-2018, 05:37 PM

Taco Grande is pretty funny

LaBelle · 02-13-2018, 08:14 PM

It wasn't a particularly tough question though.

redbreegull · 02-13-2018, 10:39 PM

Must be awful to be white and overanalyze everything while hating your own skin color because of the ever-growing societal role of political correctness and white shaming.

But that's just a black perspective on your posts in general.

LaBelle · 02-15-2018, 06:54 AM

It's less awful than to not think about those things.
