is this real life?

a mildly mentally disabled girl walks down the hall of her high school, and her inner thoughts are supposedly narrated by a female, British voice. According to the narration, she can easily have any dude east of the Mississippi: her objection to the Irish exchange student was that he grinned too much and it made him look insane; her objection to American of indeterminable race was that his mohawk looked like a squirrel glued to his head; her objection of the Asian guy was “No-Chang-Do. I’m no rice queen.” She rejected each candidate based on behavior (excessive grinning), style (bad mohawk), and RACE? MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WATCH THIS SHOW? AND THAT KIND OF A REACTION TO A HUMAN BEING IS OKAY? “NO, THANKS. YOU’RE, LIKE, ASIAN.” whatishappening.
