Not sure if this is the appropriate thread for this because the comments on you tube are getting pretty ugly.
On the face of it, it's nothing but your average brawl but if you've heard stories as I have since I was a kid of what happens to Chinese on the San Francisco Muni bus, it's sort of surreal to see this happening.
A middle-aged Chinese woman is sucker-punched by a woman hogging two seats on the bus. You wouldn't expect a flying kick (sort of) coming out of this.

LOL that reminds me some soviet jokes too. doing them by memory so i might have missed some parts, but here they are:
the five great soviet leaders was on a train, going to vacation. suddenly the train stopped and someone reported that the tracks ahead was severely damaged. to this Lenin says "we must rally the people and fix the tracks immediately!", Stalin says "the tracks must have been purposely destroyed by residence near by, we must kill them all!", Kruschev says "i disagree with whatever comrade Stalin says...", Brezhnev says "why dont we just rock the train so it'd feel like we are moving." and finally Gorbachev says "better idea, why dont we take the train apart, carry them to the other side, then put them back together!"...
Stalin visited a pig farm and he took a photo with the pigs. the Politburo wants this photo on the front of the newspaper the next day to show how much Stalin cares about agriculture. but the editors cant find a suitable subtitle, "Comrade Stalin and pigs" doesnt sound right, "pigs and comrade Stalin" aint so good either, so the next day, the subtitle was "Comrade Stalin is the third from the left"...
Kruschev visited Washington DC. president johnson braggs to him about America's civil liberty, he said "if someone yells in front of the whitehouse 'johnson sucks!' we will not arrest him". Kruschev replied calmly "so what? if someone was yelling 'johnson sucks' in front of kremlin we wouldnt arrest him either."

Did Asians Scare Palin Out of Hawaii?
The Palin story of the day seems to be her semi-endorsment of the birther movement, but there's another question now being asked: Why did Sarah Palin leave Hawaii after one semester when she was an 18-year-old student? The New Republic draws attention to a startling passage from Sam Tanenhaus’s recent New Yorker review of Palin’s book: In Going Rogue, Palin says “Hawaii was a little too perfect. Perpetual sunshine isn’t necessarily conducive to serious academics for 18-year-old Alaska girls.” But Tanenhaus then flags another passage from Scott Conroy and Shushannah Walshe’s biography of Palin, in which Palin’s own father says she left because she was uncomfortable around Asians and Pacific Islanders: “They were a minority type thing,” her father says, “and it wasn’t glamorous, so she came home.”

From the telegraph.co.uk:
The US state department was forced to withdraw the mocked up photo-image, circulated around the world last week, after the discovery that it was not quite as technically sophisticated as the FBI had originally claimed.
The digitally altered image of an older and greying Bin Laden was meant to show how the world's most wanted terrorist might now look without his trademark turban and long beard. It was released in a renewed effort to locate him, more than eight years after the September 11 attack which he ordered and directed.
But it created an unexpected stir in Madrid when a Spanish MP recognised strong elements of himself in the image and complained to the US.
Gaspar Llamazares, 52, a member of Spain's communist party and the former leader of the United Left coalition in parliament, said his forehead, hair and jaw-line had been "cut and pasted" from an old campaign photograph.
The FBI claimed to have used "cutting edge" technology to reproduce new images of 18 of the most wanted terrorist suspects for the State Department's Rewards for Justice website.
But yesterday Ken Hoffman, a spokesman the FBI, admitted that a technician "was not satisfied" with the hair features offered by the FBI's software programme and instead used part of a photo of Mr Llamazares, found on the internet. "The technican had no idea whose image he had found and no dark motive for using it," he said.
Mr Llamazares said the mistake showed the "low level" of US intelligence services. It could cause problems for any individual mistakenly seen to resemble the wanted terrorist, he said. "Bin Laden's safety is not threatened by this but mine certainly is."
