“Me love you long time–” the quote comes from a Vietnamese prostitute in Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket, but 2 Live Crew made it infamous in the song “Me So Horny.” Fergie, Nelly Furtado, and Mariah Carey have all used the line or variations of it in their songs, but do they know that it’s considered a racial and sexual slur by many? Probably not. MTV talked to some prominent Asian Americans, some of whom have to regularly deal with “Me so horny; me love you long time” being yelled at them on the street, about the line and what it means to them when they hear it.
