Some people seem to think Ghetto Hikes is racist. Take note that the page says the kids are of all racial backgrounds. If you're automatically attaching race to any statement there, it would actually suggest that the racism is in yourself.
Lighten up and laugh. That site is hilarious.

Ghetto Hikes brought tears to my eyes from laughing so hard.

I still don't get the humour in putting quotes and screencaps from different shows together. I've never seen a single one of those that was even remotely funny, and yet it keeps happening. It's not only really dumb, but it's now completely tired and overdone. Enough already.

Ghetto Hikes? Are you serious? In which a person gains the trust of a group of youth that is going to have issues trusting folks in the first place, and then betrays that trust by exploiting them for laughs, and encourages other folks to laugh at them, too? And a site that /additionally/ gives itself the racist title "Ghetto" Hikes?

You're right, HuffPo. A complete waste of time. Shame on you.

I knew Rachel Maddow was always culturally aware about social justice issues -- but she makes it sexier than Ryan Gosling.

I was thinking the same thing. If I read this right, it is supposed to be comical, but not only is NOT funny it is racist. Way to go HP.

Nice one Huffpost. Deleting my comment because I say who the publicly listed owner of a disgusting racist blog is.

Not just any racist blog, but one which exploits children.

Did I mention it was public information?

Grow a pair.

Shame on you for recommending the racist blog, Ghetto Hikes.

The Bon Iver one is the best because it's a simplified explanation of race relations. Most white people know who Bon Iver is because a.) he doesn't rap, and b.) he's a lyrical/musical genius. It takes actual though and consideration to appreciate his music. Notice how everyone who didn't know who he was was black. Need I say more.
09:45 AM on 02/16/2012
I'm not black and i don't know who the hell Bon Iver is , or why i should even care if i did.
02:34 PM on 02/17/2012
Please check yourself. HuffPo is already doing a great job promoting racism with this list; you really don't need to help out with that.

Me raising awareness of the issue is contributing to the overall social discussion on the comment boards. I'm like MLK.

Ghetto Hikes is fake. I know the guy who writes it. He's a 48 year old vietnamese chef from south bronx.

Hey girl,

The Ryan Gosling thing has been done a hundred times in an endless variety of ways. It's almost worse than Tebowing. It's not funny. Stop it.

I'm really disappointed of the inclusion of Ghetto Hikes. Obviously the writer isn't concerned with the implications of wasting time on a website that promotes racism. It's not funny for a person to make fun of the way his students are speaking in an "urban" or "ghetto" dialect. The American use of the term ghetto is to signify a poor, culturally or racially homogenous urban area. So let’s make fun of the children and the way they talk from the poverty stricken ghetto neighborhoods. The lack of knowledge about animals and nature coupled with incorrect grammar reveal a poor quality of education. & I’m really surprised Huffington Post thinks it’s ok.
