The Japanese take on African-American culture is quite interestingly pastiched in this video. It's from 2000 so it might have been posted before, but I don't recall seeing it here.

Oh, and if this was made in Korea there would have have been a 1093 page Dave's thread about how racist Koreans are =) It's that good:

(not that there's anything wrong with that)

this one is more korean style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5DiZVNlndM&

oops! kyochon took it down due to a "copyright claim." that's too bad, I guess they didn't like all the free advertisement.

Comments on the video are actually saying this is actually an american show? A pilot for American series that parodies Japanese T.V shows?

EDIT: That being said, it's pretty funny in an totally awkward way. XD

Apparently it was filmed in LA with American actors, but aired in Japan (see closing credits).

People in Tokyo generally way more open-minded. This skit in itself doesn't necessarily reflect it, but Tokyoites are also infinitely more sophisticated, 'tho they can also be a bit colder (can't have it all, can you?).
