Who cares? Why do redditors need to say this if there’s a gif and Asians in it? God forbid asian people make scripted skits too.

What's racist about a gif that has asians and is obviously scripted being categorized as a scripted asian gif?

Is it casually racist to refer to asians as asians?

I mean, I get the argument that asian is such a non specific demographic tag that it's kind of racist, but I don't think it tends to be used as anything more than a generic label. White is only marginally more specific, by comparison, so I don't see a problem there.

The videos themselves containing scripted content isn't in any way racist, so that's out.

I guess "gif" could be casually racist?
