AMEN. 
The thing about American Karate is that it doesn't teach it's students to interact with an apponents attacks, only to punch and kick accurately, which isn't always enough.
the biggest problem with Karate in the US (as seen on the video) is that it isn't authentic. Just because it carries the same historical names as it's origins, doesn't make it the same martial art as it once was. here's what i mean:
There are some serious problems with this stance, but the sad part is that he is doing it "Correctly" now a days.
1. He is beant too far sideways. 
The reason you usualy never see this with videogame charachters who practice Karate, (for example, Sub-zero or Jonny Cage from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance) is because you're begging to get kicked in the back of the head.
2. His legs are spread way too far, as Chankama mentioned. When doing something like that, you are begging to either get kicked in the **** or get your knee crushed sideways if anybody kicks you in either one of those places.
3. Nobody in their right mind puts their hand that far in front of them.
Someone can easily grab his arm and slip behind him, either chocking him out or breaking his neck.
4. his other arm is too far behind him. He cannot strike without making it obvius.
Reasonably enough, the Japanese do NOT practice Karate this way. the US has done some pretty bad things with Martial Arts.
Blocking, defending, dodging and avoidance is alot more important than punches and kicks. (As the white kid displayed in the end)
