The Friday Fail – “Cowardly?”
By Luis Prada
Game shows must be tough. All of those hot lights beating down on you; all of the cameras just sitting there and staring while you know that there are people at home openly judging you and calling you a retard before you’ve opened your mouth; and lest we forget, those damn tricky questions.
In the 80s, there was a children’s quiz show with the super original title of “Children’s Quiz Show” that featured children answering quizzical questions within a show-like setting. It’s all very complex, and there are charts.
On this British show was a little British girl (read: white girl) that was tasked with the…task…of answering a fairly simple question. She would have gotten it right had it not been for the terrible case of racism that she had been stricken with when she was just a baby.
Please, donate whatever you can now and help bring a stop to early on-set racism.

I find it very appropriate that the other two kids were Asian.

And that, my friend, is where the humor in the video can be found. It's in the shifty, slanty eyes of those Asian kids.
