Nov 18, 2009 - I don't exactly understand what you are trying to explain but if I interpeted this correctly I would assume the following: Well yes, some times particulary young americans purposely immitate the "asian posing" for example but it does not mean anything. Immitation is everywhere, it is just a good way to exchange unique cultural differences that from other races find "cool". In fact many countries depend on this as it creats tourism, shows, etc all that help the ecomony grow and boost its

Nov 18, 2009 - Yea I read the description and all. plus I put organization in quotes, but see I'm a total history nerd, and while watching said mockumentary, I actually got excited cause that would be something interesting to study for reals. I know. Dork. but I can't help it. now I want someone to investigate the evolution on picture poses.

Nov 18, 2009 - reputation and what the country is well known for. For example when I think of Japan, I think cool anime, very modern technolgy, good food, and tricked up cars. This is all started from immitations that grew to assumptions that then became "stereotypes" some good and some well...racist. When I think of France I think of the "Tour d'Effiel" that we americans find very interesting and attracting. So we went and decided to copy that and stick right in the middle of Vegas. Copying = immitating =

Nov 18, 2009 - :) Well that's totally valid. There's nothing wrong with wanting to research, and yeah, actually it would be pretty interesting to see this done as a real study. It would be something like get X number of people, maybe an equal number from each race and see what people do with the peace sign. Like, the instructions would simply be "How do you give the peace sign?"

Nov 26, 2009 - they also left out indians and aboriginals but this is just a play on 3 stereotypes that correlate to the selected ethnicities...either way still funny
