Man's ad to sell house said 'No Asians,' but video reveals real intent

2/1/2013

People aren't always as racist as you think. This 1980s video is going viral, starring an Australian news crew that had set out to confront a man they suspected of deep-seated prejudice. He had taken out a newspaper ad to sell his home, and the notice stipulated "No Asians." About one minute into the mostly unintelligible footage, the whole report starts to unravel. We won't give the joke away, but rest assured: It was an innocent mistake. We're a little skeptical about this being from an actual news report (a news program with a laugh track?), but if it really happened, we salute the news team's sense of humor for airing it.
