'10 reasons why I don't like Asians': Outrage as teenager posts offensive video called ‘Totally Not Racist’

A student in Indiana prompted an immediate internet backlash after posting a racist video listing the ten reasons why he would not want to be Asian.

In an apparent effort to deflect the criticism that he knew would come, the video was titled 'Why I'd Hate To Be Asian (Totally Not Racist), but that didn't stop Sam Hendrickson from being blasted by commentors for his offensive remarks.

'Wow you are a total moron. Is this supposed to be funny? It is not. It is just ignorant. In an internet universe filled with ignorance, yours is among the dumbest things I have seen. What a total loser,' posted one Youtube viewer.



SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO



Not funny: Samuel Hendrickson, who is from Culver, Indiana, made a four-and-a-half minute video listing ten reasons why he would not like to be Asian

Listing it off: The looks and food of Asians are all attacked in the video

The four-and-a-half minute video features a teenager listing off ten offensive reasons why he does not want to be Asian.

'Most Asians look alike- I don't want to look like everyone else,' he said in his first point.

'If I was an Asian man, chances are I'd probably be with an Asian woman and guess what: I don't find Asian women attractive. Kill me.

'Reason number three: sweatshops, they suck.'

He goes on to list seven other supposed reasons, ranging from the fact that he doesn't like the taste of sushi to his fear that he will have 'double chink eyes' when he gets high.



'Could you imagine how you would look if you were a high Asian? Okay, its called chink eyed, well if you already have chink eyes- double chink eyes? Are your eyes just closed?' Hendrickson said in the video.

Initial reports said that he was a student at Indiana University, but the school has since denied any relation to the young man, saying that the association is 'doing significant harm to our institution's good name'.

First response: Hendrickson's first Tweet was not apologetic

Evolving: He tried to repent as the video gained more traction, and both universities that he was initially connected to have publicly said that he has not been a student there

Officials at Notre Dame University also told MailOnline that he had ever been a student at the school, even though he is wearing one of their T-shirts in the video.

The video was initially posted on his Facebook page but then an offended viewer posted it on YouTube to insure that the world would be able to see it long after Sam Hendrickson took it off his profile.

Another one: Alexandra Wallace from UCLA posted a similarly offensive video just two days prior

The blowback was swift, as he immediately got Facebook and Twitter messages criticizing his video. His response has also evolved as the video went viral.

'Well, I’m hated by the entire Asian race apparently over a joke #bummer,' he tweeted early on Thursday.

A few hours later, as more and more people reacted to the racist comments, he changed it to a slightly more sincere apology.

'I am honestly very, very sorry. I will take on your hate and words but I would like you to know, that I know what I was wrong. #imsorry,' he wrote.

This latest video is similar to one by a UCLA student named Alexandra Wallace, who posted an equally offensive video ranting against Asians in the library during finals week.

'I'll be like deep into my studying, into my political-science theories and arguments and all that stuff, getting it all down, like typing away furiously, blah blah blah... and then all of a sudden, when I'm about to like, reach an epiphany -- over here from somewhere, 'OHHH! CHING CHONG LING LONG TING TONG? OHHH!' she said in the video.
