A decent response... but it only betrays the fact that the basis for the association with Jamaica was lost on the (presumably) Jamaican creators of this response.

You want stereotyping; how about when their is a character who is supposed to be Trinidadian, but they have him talking with a Jamaican accent. Like everybody from the Carribean dos sound Jamaican.

I like the response - even though the fake German accent is probably just as bad as the fake Jamaican accent in the original.

paraphrasing from another commentary "that's not racist, but why did they throw the Asian guy in the back - couldn't they let him drive or are all Asians bad drivers..now that's racist." lol

I believe this video was posted on this forum under some other thread before, but thought I'd repost.
