A Chink in the Armour


A Chinese-Canadian student, Baun Mah made a wonderful and funny documentary studying stereotypes on Chinese people. Do they live up to it?


"A Chink in the Armour is a hilarious look into the notion of stereotypes while revealing what it means to be Chinese-Canadian in today’s society. Gathering a large group of volunteers from Toronto, five of the major stereotypes will be tested to see if they are true. Do Chinese really know kung fu? Are they all good at math? The results are comical, always informative, and offer a unique glimpse into Chinese-Canadian culture."
It's 25-minutes long but worth it. Don't miss the Kung-Fu sequence.
