One Minute Racist (2007) 

*** (out of 4)

Writer and director Caveh Zahedi also serves as the narrator to this three minute short, which features a claymation figure of himself talking about a friend who hated Asian's. Zahedi then tells a story about an encounter he had with a jerk security guard who just happened to be Asian.

This animated short (co-directed by Zahedi, Ian Danskin and Alan Peterson) is actually a clever little film that builds up to its final revelation, which I'm certainly not going to spoil for you here. The short is certainly worth watching if you're a fan of Claymation as it looks extremely good but there's no question that the punchline, if you will, of the story is what the selling point was meant to be.
