DavidSoComedy made a video in response to Alexandra Wallace's video talking about Asians. In his video, Vlog #4: Asians in the Library - UCLA Girl, Alexandra Wallace is going wild on Asians. This video appeared on YouTube on March 14, 2011. In this video his purpose is to convince his viewers that Asians must equal to others. David states that there is no reason anyone should harm another person no matter how crazy their opinions. By referencing his personal experience, David demonstrates that the Asians are also unique like others. He even goes, as far as to say that he is no longer commenting on Wallace's video but instead he is "attack" her. The video creates a common ground as he uses his credibility and his pathos to construct a strong …show more content…

The credibility of the video is well established by his personal experience. When Wallace talks about "they [Asians] don't teach their kids to fend for themselves." He is showing that "we [Asians] grow our food," and they are not always going to "grocery stores" to get some food. David tries to show Asians can "fend" themselves like ethnic people do. On the other hand, the ethos behind his thinking should grab the audience’s attention. By bringing up the point that he is not a polite person but not because he is an Asian “because I [he] grew up here [America]." While Wallace says "polite, nice American." The latter phrase suggests that he convinces his audience that he understands Asians' culture more than people that do not have the same race as him. By pointing this out, he hopes to persuade his audience to believe in him more. It makes the audience feel more attached to the issue and more involved and also makes them care what the outcome of the situation will …show more content…

He emotionally appeals to the audience’s sympathies and honesties. He begins using more dramatic, emotional language, such as, “seriously, don't hurt her because of me [he]." Due to this change in language the audience understands that he does not mean to hurt her. However, he makes her look foolish and racist thru the half of the video. For example, he is copying the voice tone of Wallace when he is trying to repeat "oh my God, and the way Asians people talk on their phone" and making fun of it. This one point alone makes the purpose of his video hard to take in. This will hurts his overall argument because at first, he wants to reply to Wallace’s video but he goes too far than just replying. David makes his audience look down on him when he says not "attack" on her but in the beginning of the video. He writes a big, fat words "racist white girl?" Even though, he does not said it out and he makes his viewer answer that question but through the video. Moreover, when Wallace talks about the time, "every five minutes, okay, not five minutes but fifteen minutes," he states that "(beep word) you can't tell the time?" His audience will think that she goes to UCLA but she does not know how to tell the time, this makes she looks stupid and unintelligent. As an audience, I think he is making fun of her appearance - this seems mean and
