On Saturday June 16th, 2012, YouTube celebrity Shane Dawson made and posted a video which is a parody of the Nickelodeon show "iCarly", and when Shane played Miranda Cosgrove's character Carly, he played her as like she was an Asian. Which is totally racist because Miranda Cosgrove isn't really Asian, she just has Asian-looking eyes. I'm surprised that the video didn't get deleted and Shane didn't get into legal trouble for racism. Of course, throughout the years, Shane did get away with portraying African-American celebrities such as Randy Jackson, Corbin Bleu, Sarah Barrable-Tishauer, Will Smith, Nicki Minaj, and Wendy Williams by wearing blackface. He also portrayed a kung fu master in a "Kill Bill" spoof from a video of his called "HARRY POTTER DELETED SCENE!?" Shane says he isn't a racist, but after seeing his "iCarly" spoof, people may believe otherwise.
