My left ear is grateful that it didn't have to hear that.
And obviously Jesus doesn't love people of Arabic descent
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Jews or Indians, either.

Thats almost as bad as Sarah Silvermans voice.
Not quite though.

Duh, Chinese people can very well depict all Asian people, they're all yellow after all. And hell no that Jesus would like Jews, for obvious reasons.

I couldn't watch more than thirty seconds of this, and I'm still going to have nightmares.

Then all I can tell you is that it got worse.
Or better, if you're watching it as one of those things that's so horribly outdated and racist that it's funny.

Or Turks for that matter. But I believe that this video was made for people who live in America, where race issues are dealt with outdated racial classifications. So there has to be an african, a yellow chinaman, a "white" person, and a red indian. Why would they have hindustanis, eskimos or maoris on that show, I can't really tell. Besides, arabs fall under the "caucasian" cathegory in America I believe, so it doesn't matter.

I think we did a version of this puppet show using this very sound track! Oh, and The Jews Indians (dots and feathers) were all lumped in with 'red.' Although some versions included 'brown' between black and red.
When this hymn/poem was written (late 1800's) race was a big issue in the church (look at the mormon doctrine of that time, and what Joesph Smith had to say.) Even in christ centered Churches one had to be white to benfit fully from the body of believers of that time. This song really shook up the establishment and was bann from many established denominations.
This is just another example of mans ever changing morality. 100 years ago this song was being smashed by the self righteous for being too liberally minded forcing them to look at their 'doctrines' of exclusion. but, now the oppsite is true. Now the song is too racists.
