    ♫ piano introduction ♫
  • 0:08 - 0:11
    Hey, uh, Kate Monster, you're a monster right?
  • 0:11 - 0:11
    Yeah!
  • 0:11 - 0:14
    And you know Trekkie Monster my neighbour,
    he's a monster.
  • 0:14 - 0:14
    Right.
  • 0:14 - 0:16
    So, are you two like, related?
  • 0:16 - 0:20
    What?! Princeton! I find that racist!
  • 0:20 - 0:22
    Oh! Oh! I'm sorry! I was just asking!
  • 0:22 - 0:26
    Well! It's a touchy subject! No!
    Not all monsters are related!
  • 0:26 - 0:27
    Oh.
  • 0:27 - 0:31
    You know you should be much more careful when
    you're talking about the sensitive subject of race!
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    Yeah... well.. Well, look who's talking!
  • 0:34 - 0:35
    What do you mean?
  • 0:35 - 0:38
    Well, you're the one who's always complaining
    because your students are always cursing!
  • 0:38 - 0:40
    Yeah, well they get that from rap.
  • 0:40 - 0:41
    Ha ha ha ha!
  • 0:41 - 0:44
    ♫ You're a little bit racist ♫
  • 0:44 - 0:47
    ♫ Well you're a little bit too! ♫
  • 0:47 - 0:49
    ♫ I guess we're both a little bit racist ♫
  • 0:49 - 0:52
    ♫ Admitting it is not an easy thing to do... ♫
  • 0:52 - 0:53
    ♫ But I guess it's true ♫
  • 0:53 - 0:55
    ♫ Between me and you, I think ♫
  • 0:55 - 1:05
    ♫ Everyone's a little bit racist, sometimes
    Doesn't mean we go around committing hate crimes ♫
  • 1:05 - 1:10
    ♫ Look around and you will find
    No one's really color blind ♫
  • 1:10 - 1:16
    ♫ Maybe it's a fact
    We all should face ♫
  • 1:16 - 1:20
    ♫ Everyone makes judgements
    Based on race ♫
  • 1:20 - 1:24
    Now not big judgments, like who to hire
    or who to buy a newspaper from
  • 1:24 - 1:24
    Nooo...
  • 1:24 - 1:29
    No, just little judgments, like thinking that Mexican
    busboys should learn to speak freaking English!
  • 1:29 - 1:30
    Right!
  • 1:30 - 1:40
    Everyone's a little bit racist, today.
    So, everyone's a little bit racist, okay!
  • 1:40 - 1:45
    Ethinic jokes might be uncouth,
    But you laugh because they're based on truth.
  • 1:45 - 1:55
    Don't take them as personal attacks.
    Everyone enjoys them - so relax!
  • 1:55 - 1:56
    All right, stop me if you've heard this one.
  • 1:56 - 1:57
    Okay!
  • 1:57 - 2:02
    There's a plane going down and there's only
    one parachute. And there's a rabbi, a priest...
  • 2:02 - 2:03
    And a black guy!
  • 2:03 - 2:04
    Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Kate?
  • 2:04 - 2:05
    Ooh...
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    You were telling a black joke!
  • 2:07 - 2:09
    Well, sure, Gary, but lots of people tell black jokes.
  • 2:09 - 2:10
    I don't.
  • 2:10 - 2:15
    Well, of course you don't, you're black!
    But I bet you tell Polish jokes, right?
  • 2:15 - 2:18
    Well, sure I do. Those stupid Polish people!
    Ha ha ha ha!
  • 2:18 - 2:21
    Hey guys! What are you laughing about?
  • 2:21 - 2:21
    Racism!
  • 2:21 - 2:22
    Cool!
  • 2:22 - 2:23
    BRIAN! Come back here!
  • 2:23 - 2:25
    You take out lecycuraburs!
  • 2:25 - 2:27
    What's that mean?
  • 2:27 - 2:28
    Um, recyclables.
  • 2:28 - 2:28
    Ha ha ha ha!
  • 2:28 - 2:32
    Hey, don't laugh at her!
    How many languages do you speak?
  • 2:32 - 2:34
    Oh, come off it, Brian!
  • 2:35 - 2:37
    ♫ Everyone's a little bit racist ♫
  • 2:37 - 2:38
    I'm not!
  • 2:38 - 2:39
    Oh no?
  • 2:39 - 2:39
    Nope!
  • 2:40 - 2:43
    ♫ How many Oriental wives have you got? ♫
  • 2:43 - 2:45
    What? Brian!
  • 2:45 - 2:50
    ♫ Brian, buddy, where you been?
    The term is Asian-American! ♫
  • 2:50 - 2:52
    I'm sorry honey! I love you!
  • 2:52 - 2:53
    And I love you!
  • 2:53 - 2:55
    But you're racist too.
  • 2:55 - 2:56
    Yes! I know.
  • 2:56 - 3:01
    ♫ The Jews have all the money
    And the whites have all the power ♫
  • 3:01 - 3:06
    ♫ And I'm always in taxi-cab
    With driver who no shower! ♫
  • 3:06 - 3:07
    Me too!
  • 3:07 - 3:08
    Me too!
  • 3:08 - 3:09
    I can't even get a taxi!
  • 3:09 - 3:23
    ♫ Everyone's a little bit racist, it's true.
    But everyone is just about as racist as you! ♫
  • 3:23 - 3:30
    ♫ If we all could just admit
    That we are racist, a little bit ♫
  • 3:30 - 3:43
    ♫ And everyone stopped being so PC
    Maybe we could live in - harmony! ♫
  • 3:43 - 3:45
    Evlyone's a ritter bit lacist!
  • 3:45 - 3:49
