Umm
When you can't find racism, start to reach. Really far:
The DVD also contains a clip of an Asian American bicycle officer having trouble riding his department-issued bike, authorities said. The clip closes with the officer about to crash into a captain's car, Cohen said.
Officials said they were concerned the skit could be interpreted as a takeoff on the stereotype of Asians as poor drivers, though the clip makes no direct reference to that effect.
Why would anyone even interpret that? People who fall off/crash bicycles are funny, regardless of race. The fact that someone made this interpretation shows racism in the interpreter, not in the video-maker.
