In the time since then, Immigrants from Korea and Vietnam faced prejudice and the threat of violence, and to this very day Asian women suffer from a belief of other races that they are more fulfilling sexually than any other brand of human. In light of this, doesn't this justice group have bigger fish to fry? Hell, if they really do find his gesture so objectionable, why not complain about Keith's pointing at Will Smith or himself to indicate white and black, or Will Smith's use of the word "yellow?" Can't those guys find something to do that will help their cause more than objecting to a song about mutual acceptance? I'm certainly not objecting to it, and, as a Slavic-American, I come from a family with slant-eyes aplenty, as do Native Americans, Pacific Islanders and lots of Hispanics.
