He shouldn’t have assaulted her. He has a right to try to block her from leaving but not to beat and choke her. I’m familiar with the psychological world he lives in that produces this sort of behavior, I know the kind of vitriolic racism Koreans face from some African Americans, etc.—none of it is an excuse. He not…

A lot of immigrant businesses work on razor thin margins. $3.99 registers as life and death emotionally to a lot of immigrants. I had family members who ran small businesses, and every cent was precious to them. It was a step toward moving to a neighborhood with a good school system, future college tuition for their…

The sentiment is nice, and I’m sure it makes the people who declare this feel really good and heroic. I can almost feel the sympathetic surge of righteous adrenaline that fantasizing about such a scenario will produce.

But Albright of all people should realize from looking back through history that, if this happens,…

Yes, Eddie Huang is often an asshole. But he wasn’t actually being an asshole when he tried to draw a parallel between the unfair treatment both Asian men and black Women face when dating. People jumped on it because they had no context for the comment because America doesn’t think about how Asians experience racism.…

And Asian men get responses like “no Asians”.

He was just trying to say that there’s a gender stereotype problem with Asian men being considered unmasculine and therefore not attractive the same way that black women get stereotyped as unfeminine and therefore not attractive. Although he did say it very badly, I feel…

They’re ACTORS. Playing characters that were supposed to have accents. Idris Elba has a London accent. Why couldn’t they just let him use his natural accent instead of a Baltimore African American accent for his role in The Wire? Because that’s not true to life to how his character would speak.

But I do agree that…

Immigrants who come to the US as adults are going to have accents. It’s not racist for actors playing real-life people who had actual accents to use accents. Unless the accents are the subject of cheap mockery and racist jokes, how is this a problem? IMO Randall Park’s refusal to do an accent for this role is…
