You don’t take offense because you’re white. No one is trying to “other” you when they ask that question. That’s the difference.

Mind some else’s business? Did she read his diary or something? He wrote a public tweet that millions of people read. People are going to interpret that in different ways. It’s one of the dangers of tweeting.

This is catchy af and I love it. The visuals are mesmerizing and the story is a fantastical trip into whatever sin she’s cooking up. I’m in. I got tired of the braggadocio of male rappers, but I adore the way most women rappers floss because they’ve earned it. It’s your time and you’re welcome to take charge. I see…

Seriously. I’m in my mid thirties but this is the type of shit that makes me want to yell at kids to stay off my digital lawn

I thought this would be a “face reveal” about the artist behind the Vtuber being revealed IRL, but it’s just...the animated hair is slightly not over their animated eyes for a moment?

Exactly. Considering there was a violent assault at the same industry event last year, it would be kind of weird not to address the issue.

“Yang perhaps refers to the response of the Academy in the moment”

That’s racist!

“What happened onstage was fully unacceptable, and the response from our organization was inadequate.”

I agree with her. If you get up and slap the host of an awards show you should be removed from the premises. That will never change.

I’m not really sure this is “beating a dead horse” considering it’s the Academy president talking at an Oscars luncheon about the organization’s response, and how this impacts the Oscars going forward. Seems like that’s exactly where it would be still relevant to bring up. Beyond that, I’m sure Will Smith would like…

At no point did he say we should be racist against Asians. JFC go take your suffrage Olympics somewhere else

TikTok has been actively suppressing posts from Black users for years. It’s why white posters get all the credit for coming up with dances from Black posters who are making up the dance, but can’t get the same viral popularity because the algorithm throttles their reach because of the color of their skin.

Came here to say the same thing. It’s utterly shitty but also unsurprising that a citizen from one of the world’s most racially homogeneous nations might have no understanding or appreciation of racial diversity. It’s Japan, racism and insular attitudes are kinda baked-in: famously closed their borders til Commodore…

This is such a stretch for the sake of controversy that it’s ridiculous. There are so many factors to consider:

When will those Koreans move on? They asked for compensation, and Japan gave it. It was an irreversible agreement between two parties, but now they want to reverse it again. They got their money, and now they are asking for more money. I just don’t get it, do they just want unlimited amount of money from Japan or…

You know, normally I’d say that historical events have weight and that South Korean people are right in being very sensitive on this topic, but the more I read about it the more I see how fabricated this whole deal is. This subject has been unfortunately hijacked and currently being used for exploitation rather than…

It’s very simple - people who use words such as those so easily are racist.

When the word is coming from an over-privileged white male, it does matter. Having the view that “it doesn’t matter b/c he didn’t mean anything by it” is aligning one-and-the-same with racists.

I will explain it again: Dude could’ve said any variant of the word “n*gger from nig-nog, niggaz to nigga without the “hard R” in it...it doesn’t matter. It’s his INTENT with the word. It’s his INTENT. INTENT INTENT INTENT. Call it whatever you want. Trashy. The malice behind the word in any of it’s forms are the…
