why is this considered OKAY

(see full interview here->) http://www.asiaarts.ucla.edu/article.asp?parentid=37818

is anyone else bothered by this? this white asshole is getting rich on employing tired racial stereotypes and over-exaggerating mysticism to further orientalize Asians. does anyone else realize that he's SELLING a RACE, and not only that, but a fake, exaggerated, constructed one?? he uses the fact that he was a MARTIAL ARTIST to validate his usage of this fucked up, imagined, orientlized, constructed culture. as if there were some MAGICAL link between asians and martial arts??? like he was channeling my ancestors who gave him the O-K or some shit. FUCK THAT.

also, if its so groundbreaking that asian-americans took center stage in this film, why arent THEY being interviewed? why go to the white guy? cuz it was HIS great idea to have asians not just be extras on M.A.S.H., but actually have legitimate roles? and how fucking GROUNDBREAKING is it to have asians play MARTIAL ARTS. thats real progressive you fucking prick.

THE FUCK ME NEW YEARZ

this was probably the most fucked up new years ever. at least according to three sources who happen to be really close to me. maybe it was the economy? the fact that there was a blue moon that night? whatever it was, hella crazy shit went down.

so, story one:



1. Pewee, Chita, Rev and Yen

They went to the Zion-I show down at club6. yen got hella drunk and started puking everywhere, so the crew had to take her home via rev's mom, who should be driving in at any minute. so they were beginning to cart yen away when pewee fell behind. thats when the pig came. he snatched pewee by the arm and asked her "what business do you have with these girls?" referring to chita and alex, who were white. she said, "they're my FRIENDS, im trying to catch up to them."

THEN the cop pushed her against the wall, an impact from which she bears a dime-sized bruise as of around 3pm today. the cop started patting her down and asked her if she's been drinking, and pewee said, YEAH BUT EVERYONE HAS. (IT WAS FUCKING NEW YEARS). the cop asked her, "do you know what i can ticket you for right now?" Pewee said, "NO, ACTUALLY, WHAT CAN YOU TICKET ME FOR RIGHT NOW?" For there was absolutely nothing she was doing wrong at the moment of her seizure. then the cop said, "ARE YOU GETTING SASSY WITH ME?" and asked for ID. Pewee said, "NO, THATS MY GIRLFRIEND AND MY FRIENDS, CAN YOU PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE?"

So i guess the cop eventually realized how fucked up he was being and left her alone. And what sucks is that Peweee didn't have the chance to copy down his badge number or ANYTHING. it totally reminds me of when i got handled like that in high school.

ANYWAYS,



2. Bree and Senny

They were on BART into the city and flashing their party favors around when this girl starts muggin them. so bree says, "you need to stop hating and get to where we are," and before she knows it, the girl's screaming at her and pulling her hair, and bree socks her in the face. all of bree's friends jump in and in a second, the fighting halts, and they back off of each other.

then some stupid ass street performer hella racialized his audience, which is just wonderful.


3. me

bree called me circa 3 and i was having chest pains. i had to go to the ER where i stayed until around 7 or 8AM getting, EKGs, x-rays, and had a needle sticking out of my arm for a couple hours. HAPPY 2010 YALL
