So that's how they're kicking everyone's asses in business and technology. College sabotage. Those sneaky fucks.
Well, to be perfectly fair, she was ranting about Asians THE DAY of the quake and tsunami. So much of the reactions were typically, "Yes well... excuse them for checking to see if their families overseas are okay."
I saw this video the other day and it pissed me off beyond belief. Fucking racist slut. [video=youtube;6feGp0GQVJ8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6feGp0GQVJ8[/video] She's done for.
I didn't think the video was that bad. It's obvious she's just a stupid girl who doesn't like things affecting her life in any way that causes her inconvenience. I'm sure she rants about any race/sex/person who annoys her. There are many, many people in the world like this. I wouldn't necessarily call her racist, nor a slut. Both are possibilities, though. That said, I thought the "White girls in the library" video was a solid, humorous retort. And that full song was amazing.
I didn't think the video was that bad either. First of all, she's not completely wrong. The UC's, for the most part, have Asian majorities (I'm at U.C. Berkeley this year and I can tell you first hand that it's true). Secondly, a lot of the Asians, particularly the ones who are coming from out of the country, tend to not be 100% familiar with common courtesies, but that's simply because they live in a different way. It's not better or worse, and I'm not here to judge anyone who is Asian, but that's just how it is. If you're raised in America, chances are you're going to go about things in a different way than someone raised in China or Taiwan or Japan. Her incident at the library, understandably, is something that I would be upset by. However, her delivery gives off the tone that she's a bit racist, and I won't deny that. Making that impression of an Asian language and then making it sound like Asians are nuisances in general...well, it's not okay. Her point could have been made well without having been racist at all. Also, her thing about people going outside even if they need to talk to someone about the tsunami...obviously here she was very inconsiderate. If I had relatives that I was concerned about in a disaster zone, I wouldn't be concerned about everyone else around me, I'd be concerned about them. I dno. The video irks me, but I can't say she's a complete fool. That's not to say I didn't enjoy her choice of clothing. EDIT: Also, jedibeaner, be sure to use the edit function next time you want to add something instead of double-posting. Thank you.
God this really reminds me of Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party where she attempted to convince the people that Asians were taking over Australia and to kick all foreigners out because they were taking all our jobs.
"books In the library! I don't want to appear stupid or anything but OMG, there's so many books and they keep getting checked out. It's really distracting. Especially the wind and the sound of their pages ruffling. And every time I am about to have an epiphany, the books tell me that my pre-hypothesis is wrong. But what I really have a problem with is all the Asian books, and how so many things are Asian. They even want to claim they invented paper! But I try to not let it get to me and be the nice good mannered woman my mother taught me to be. But the books keep distracting me, so yeah, this is my rant. Sorry if I offended anyone who reads and who is Asian. But damn, books." - Alexandra - ULCA Student
Not that I want it to look like I'm defending racism, but I'm going to have to defend racism. Let us say what stupid over here actually did was JESUS CHRIST SOOOOO RACIST!, why does it actually matter? Short of encouraging violence against people I forgot when racism in and of itself was anything close to a heinous crime that demands swift and brutal response. And that extends to some of that hardcore, fat hillbilly screaming in a sheet NIGRA NIGRA racism, which last I checked people can still do. How's this video, despite being an enormous error in judgment, anywhere close to being that bad, much less being any worse? When did being a blunt, thoughtless dumbshit suddenly become something that needs to be 'PUNISHED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT RIGHT GODDAMN NOW THAT'S HOW APPALLED I AM'.
I don't know about anyone else, but if old Asian ladies are cooking grub next door, I'm gonna be first in line to help them eat it.
Sure, they have just the same right to hold their racist opinions as much as I have the right to think that they're ignorant asshats. Is there something in their water supply?
