Quiet Asian Syndrome

Found this on Funny or Die about “A mockumentary about a very prevalent yet misunderstood syndrome that affects millions of Asian Americans.” Not too funny. Seems to try to say that if Asians speak up they go bezerk.

We like the ending scene with John Cho yelling at his co-workers at the end of “Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle” much better.
