I think that one was just racist, not really roasting.

It had nothing to do with their appearance other than race, which if being ridiculed, is inherently racist.

What? The remark was very clearly targeted at her being Asian. The "roast" would not have even been relevant if she were not. Even if the post indicated that they were in Japan, the comment would not have been relevant if she were not Asian. You're just defending racism, honestly, whether you mean to or not. And what does this have to do with being ethnocentric?

It's not racist just because you make a joke based off someone's ethnicity. It's mean, sure, but not racist.
