is it racist that ILX has a separate racism thread just for asian racism?
― flag post sitta (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:11 (twelve years ago) link
please explain?
― flagp∞st (dayo), Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:12 (twelve years ago) link
this thread has turned into a dumping ground for racist stuff we see in the media, just like the other thread has turned into a dumping ground for racist stuff we see in the media... it's the same thread
― flag post sitta (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:13 (twelve years ago) link
I thought I was precluded from talking about explicitly racist stuff in the other thread by thread police, i.e. you, and you haven't started a general 'this is racist' thread, so

oic

also, why did you start a separate jeremy lin thread?
― flagp∞st (dayo), Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:16 (twelve years ago) link
i was interested in how something like that happened from a journalism/editor standpoint and people took the thread and ran w/ it?
― flag post sitta (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:19 (twelve years ago) link
maybe we should start a new board just for racism discussions

also - idk - when the jeremy lin stuff was happening DJP said that he felt racism against black people was being overlooked - and maybe I just feel more comfortable discussing this stuff in a thread devoted to it
― flagp∞st (dayo), Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:24 (twelve years ago) link
Oh dude that's not at all what I meant when I said that! I was noting the weird sensation of seeing a situation where American racism seemed to behave like a constrained resource; it literally felt like there was a reservoir out of which racism was being doled and stuff that used to be spread mostly around Obama suddenly focused very heavily and intently on Jeremy Lin for like two weeks.

I wanna jokingly be all "NOW who's the racist?!" but the answer is still frogbs

hah okay DJP sorry for misudnerstanding you
― flagp∞st (dayo), Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:37 (twelve years ago) link
anyway whiney the answer is I would prefer to talk about this stuff and how it affects me itt, if that's okay with you

I said "oic" like 20 posts ago dogg

alright dude, but thanks for butting in with your opinion anyway
― flagp∞st (dayo), Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:41 (twelve years ago) link
It wasn't a real opinion, but continue to be outraged by it

loved this movie as a kid but now I realize that it was actually pretty daring for it to have both an asian american hero and villain
changing the ethnicity really helped the last airbender and DBZ

okay maybe not so daring to star an asian american as a kung fu guy. but still! #MORTALKOMBAT

xp The Tekken film did pretty well on that count but obviously came out a lot later.

yeah - shakey thinks his role in the hangover is okay for some reason
― flagp∞st (dayo), Saturday, 17 March 2012 00:01 (twelve years ago) link
Role seemed way more predicated on a racist stereotype in Part II than the first one iirc. But really I don't have distinct memories of either movie.

kinda amazing that he has managed to sustain a political career this long
― Disco Bob & MC Criminal (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 6 April 2012 19:30 (twelve years ago) link
he just won his primary again this week, he's super popular in the 8th ward
"the 9 lives of marion barry" actually opened my eyes a little bit to the nature of his support--back before he was a punchline he was a pretty radical figure, and now that he's on the council representing the poorest ward in the city & talking radical again people seem to have gotten behind him in numbers, probably half nostalgia for the ostensible good ol days & half believing his big promises.
