I am so. so. unbelievably. pissed OFF right now. !!!!!!!!!
Just go here and read it.
Just read it. In case you aren't convinced, or want to know what you're getting into before clicking on the link, here's an excerpt:
Carton : And here’s the bottom line... no specific minority group or foreign group should ever ever dictate the outcome of an American election. I don’t care if the Chinese population in Edison has quadrupled in the last year, Chinese should never dictate the outcome of an election, Americans should.
This, talking about a Korean running for governor.
Okay, usually I don't get worked about things like this.. when the whole Abercrombie scandal happened (they were selling t-shirts depicting an Asian laundry man saying "2 Wongs don't make a White"), I shrugged it off. I am usually pretty chill about perceived insults towards my 'race.' But this was too much, man. I am so fucking tired of these white ignorant assholes who spout random shit to get attention cause they're balding or fat or ugly.
And I realize what I just said makes me one of them, and I hate them for causing me to stoop to their level. But my blood is really boiling. Just look at them. Don't they kind of scream "I'm a smirking ass who worries constantly about my bald head and growing gut?"
And I'm not even just talking about these DJs. I'm talking about Ann Coulter, or Rush Limbaugh, or any of these silly little radical Republicans who like to talk big about issues of which they have shallow knowledge. I mean, did anyone read the Time article on Ann Coulter? Yeah, it pretty much seemed like she reads one fact about something and blows it up into this gigantic, enormous cloud and fuss of stupidity.
I would take the time to refute their points one by one in a reasonable manner, but one, I'm pissed. Two, they don't deserve reasonable answers for their irrational assumptions. Three, I'm tired of having wasted even five minutes on them, but here I am, posting about them.

Sick. Hope they get fired b/c public radio shouldn't be a platform for racism.
And I'm sorry about the job, I'm sure you'll find something else! :)

The sad thing is that your average American cannot, for whatever reason, distinguish an Asian from an Asian-American.

Don't mean to piggyback off of JW..I do a bit. But the average American can't distinguish her/his left foot from her/his right foot. I've been to every major city in this country in the span of 23 months...it's downright sickening and it doesn't seem to be getting better. That feels great to get of the chest and share the feelings w/ folks who understand...the military ideology is pathetic.
