What is racism?

I had an interesting conversation with a friend who doesn't like the classic movie "A Christmas Story". Among his list of complaints was the Chinese restaurant scene's alleged blatant racism. Can someone please explain how this is racist? I think it's comedy gold.

    Anything that makes white people laugh at someone who is not white is racist.

    Disagree.

    South Park is the funniest show on TV.

    The only thing your friend had right is that "A Christmas Story" sucks. It's overrated and was okay for watching the first time, but the dinguses who watch it every Christmas because they think it is classic are fucking lame. I'll take Home Alone over that movie every time.

    Comedy gold? Fuck, I would hate for you to watch Wedding Crashers, Step Brothers, or a movie that is actually funny.

    I like to Mach classic comedies by referencing overrated comedies like Step Brothers, that's what I like to do.

    A Christmas Story > Step Brothers.

    With a bullet.

    Disagree. Christmas story is a fantastic movie. Step Brothers and Wedding Crashers are also both good. I would take Home Alone over Christmas Story as well.
