is obama going to start wearing porkpie hats and bowling shirts to every press conference now?

biggest guilty lol that the actress's name is Lisa Chan

idgi, is it just lol bcz asian girl has an asian name?

well, more that a lot of young asian women in the media are often named Lisa and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Chan

it is a completely reasonable name, but at the same time it's kind of the sort of name you would come up with if you were creating her from scratch

a lot of young asian women in the media are often named Lisa

??

well, there's Lisa Ling and... um...

'chan' is the cantonese romanization of the surname 陳 or 陈, which is the 5th most common chinese surname in the world

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_Chinese_surnames

A surprising number of Asian women in media are apparently Superman villains. Lisa Ling, Lucy Liu . . .

Eh, I think it reminded me of reading an article about Olivia Munn not going by Lisa anymore, despite it being her first name

I was just kind of thinking that "Lisa Chan" is kind of the "John Smith" of asian-american names, but I think it was a bizarre mix of things I'm connecting (IS IT RACISM) and not reality

grace lee is the 'john smith' of asian-american names

Well, then. I sit corrected.

^^ rolling "is this racist" thread to thread!

NEWPORT??

Asian People OTM

thinking it's from the onion, unless I'm really mispronouncing Sinutab

and lol, dacron

oh wait nvm

and the juxtaposition of Ashleigh and Madison. Oh Onion, you're the gift that keeps giving

to me those columns are like "right on, v insightful," "racist," "uh idk if this is even right"

could be apocryphal like the youtube origin story but ashley madison is supposed to be drawn from most popular girl baby names.

that onion thing seems p racist in itself, in that it's basically "lol black names are stupid" framed by "lol white people wanna be fancy" and "lol asians wanna be white"

nobody names a male baby Dakota wtf

not that that's the most objectionable one there or anything

that onion thing seems p racist in itself, in that it's basically "lol black names are stupid" framed by "lol white people wanna be fancy" and "lol asians wanna be white"

thank you for that breakdown, it was really difficult to discern

lol DJP otm

feel like im still not getting it

nobody names a male baby Dakota wtf

a lot of names on here are surprising, but no Dakota:

e.g.:
"2000 Emily Hannah Madison Ashley Sarah"

There was a male Dakota in my class in college

He was black

when it was hot outside did he stay cool by "fanning"

@tsadjatko Thanks for watching the video. I believe this is something turtlers should know about male turtles so that they don't think something is wrong with their turtle. Thanks for putting video on your site. There has been 79 viewings more since yesterday.

don't understand the recent popularity of the name Madison tbh

Blame a generation of moms and dads who grew up watching too much HBO:

According to the Social Security Administration's statistics, from a practically non-existent girl's name before 1985, Madison rose to being the second most popular name, after Emily, given to female babies in 2001.[2] This phenomenal rise in popularity has been attributed to the 1984 movie Splash, where Daryl Hannah plays a mermaid who adopts the name "Madison" in her human form after seeing a street sign for Madison Avenue.[3] When she makes this selection, Tom Hanks's character initially protests: "But Madison isn't a name!"

I'm not saying the Onion's not trying, but the non-Madison / Dakota names on the left are just A/B/C.

Do we have confirmation on that Onion attribution? Seems too racist for them.

it's from the onion

When?

from the onions new spinoff, racist onion

tbh I think sometimes they go full circle and parody racist perceptions by making racist observations

it's a troublesome look, but hey, the humor gun misfires sometimes

Found it, it was 1999, which is long enough ago to be somewhat comforting.

from the onions new spinoff, racist onion

lol
