I'm BBC (British born Chinese) and feel that it seems more permissible to be casually racist about Chinese than other racial groups. A few years ago there used to be a Chinese tea advert with a kung fu monk and really bad accent which just felt wrong to me. I don't think that kind of advert would have been made about jerk chicken or naan bread for example.
Someone just posted on my FB jokes with Chinese accent, one liners, eg.Tie my shoe Tai Mai Shu
OK, thats pretty rubbish but it was a long list of them. It wasn't to me personally.
I found it old fashioned and un PC. I feel if someone posted this with Jamaican or Indian accents it would be disapproved of.
Am I being oversensitive?

Is this casual racism? Along the lines of ching chong jokes?
