    My son being half Asian has gotten complements at the Korean grocery from old ladies for having such white skin. I thought it was funny.

      Every kind of compliment that can be a little politically incorrect makes me smile

    So the lesson here is don't import content from a racist content without sanitizing the racism?

    "I love how Korean shows expose me to Korean culture uwu" well it's all fun and games until it diverges from the exotic and into the offensive isn't it

      Racism is in the eye of the beholder these days.

      Martin Luther King Jr.'s interpretation of racism, and the one most rational people understand: Discrimination and unequal treatment on the basis of race.

      Nowadays, wokesters have expanded it to be "everything White BAD". Yeah, fuck that. I am a racist then, and happy to be one. Words mean shit to the woke.

        Well you gotta realize, racism is very much a part of Asian culture, with dark skin being viewed as bad and light skin being viewed as good.

        For example:

      It really shows that they do not actually want diversity - they want a monoculture with diverse foods.

        Haha that's perfect! That's exactly what they want.

        And Black Panther II with the King Of Wakanda ruling over San Francisco.
