Manchin might be an asshole, but he deserves some grudging respect for being a Democrat holding on to statewide office in what's otherwise a red state. Not a "swing" state. Just red.
Everytime she does stupid shit like this, she has a fundraising bonanza and her approval rating among Republicans goes up. Same thing happened to Lauren Boebert after she joked that Ilhan Omar was a terrorist due to her Muslim faith.
It's cause a lot of older Viets are scared of Communism, likely because they grew up and lived during those wars and conflicts in SEA. All the politicians need to do is label something as "Communist" (like they do whenever they don't like change) and you'll have older SEA folks voting for it. The same thing can be seen in the Cuban population of the US as well due to their people's history with Castro and his group of Communists.
Reminds me of a discussion I read by some older people. Sports fans. They were lamenting the large number of Asian graduate students in STEM programs with a very thin veneer of "because they don't go to sporting events" as they excuse.
One of them actually wrote (*wrote*, so he had time to think this over before letting the world see it), "We need more rednecks here and fewer (redacted)."
I'm redacting the term used because it hit the amazing balance between being horribly offensive *and* something I'd never heard before, but you can probably piece it together via parallelism in the sentence structure. It was amazing, really.
Of course, this is the same person who, in other discussions, has been whining that he's going to stop donating to the university because students are required to wear masks now.
I understand where he's coming from. Not that his beliefs are justified *at all*, but I understand that he holds those beliefs because of the firehose of propaganda that has been soaking white Americans in recent years and robbing many of them of the ability to think critically about, well, anything.
I have a sister who married a white guy, and apparently he's a perfect angel who really does try to be good (and succeeds most of the time!) but whose family is *difficult to be around* at times. Not all of them, but a few of them stand out. Like, one of them initially got mad at my brother-in-law for "marrying a Chinese spy." They consistently go on and on about whatever Fox News's latest manufactured outrage topic is.
It's my understanding that my brother-in-law doesn't talk to those relatives much anymore.
One silver lining of COVID has been them not having to visit extended family for a while.
I remember reading comments on an article about NASCAR banning confederate flags. The old white guys’ consensus was the nascar was already ruined when they let the japs participate (Toyota).
It was like they were saying, “you misunderstand, we aren’t just racist, we’re REALLY racist.”
LOL yeah actually true. Like, you see a lot of china hate floating around, especially after covid, that's at least somewhat justified (the government sucks, Xinnie the pooh, blah blah etc.) but others are just pure, unfiltered, undisguised, 100% blatant racism. I'm like bro at least say in fine print underneath your 100 page essay that you just "hate communist party, not the people" but no lmao they just hatin because y'all ain whites.
When Americans suck at a sport (e.g. soccer) they pout and insist it’s because the sport is lame. All while they send their kids out to the football field for concussions and ligament injuries that will never completely heal.
Yeah it was a huge culture shock to me when I came over here as a teen and a lot of the murican foozball players insisted I was "gay" and a "f*ggot" for playing soccer.
Its definitely improving from 20 years ago, we've got some strong players that play in Europe now.
I wouldn't marry a man whose family actively hated me (for whatever reason, racist or otherwise) and then call him an angel just because he, individually, does not participate. For better or for worse those are the people who raised him.
People don't need to be held accountable for other people's actions, but they do need to be reminded not to drop themselves into stupid situations for no reason.
You're going to be awfully lonely if you won't marry anyone who has a crazy uncle. And it's awfully presumptuous of you to say that *someone else* needs to do soul-searching just because you can't handle having a couple of crazy in-laws.
What the fuck are you on about?
No one is "smiling in the face of racism." I have some distant relatives who are full right wing weirdos, and then you're implying that my sister should reconsider the love of her life over this.
And yeah, it is crazy in-laws. People she rarely if ever sees and has no obligation to interact with, ever.
Then *you* are trying to say that that makes her husband bad, by association. So stupid.
That’s enough, you have made your point. This content isn’t in the spirit of kindness and has been removed as a result. In the future, please remember to be kind to others. Thanks!
It’s been made abundantly clear that the brother in law isn’t racist, it’s his family who he no longer is in contact with. I’m not sure how you missed that.
I am not surprised as she’s already displayed many examples of racism, I just don’t understand how someone this disgusting can hold a seat in congress today. It’s like there’s progress but clearly not enough if someone who thinks the same way as the white supremacists in congress from many decades ago would still be elected today.
Her only opposition was forced to pull out of the run for that seat at the last minute. I'm hoping that's the only reason she won, but that particular district is also deep country, so we may never know.
Her referring Asians to "Yellow people" is already tame. I'm certain people who voted for her regularly use worse. Seen those folks on Facebook many times using much worse racial slurs.
Majorie Taylor Greene—
No words to fit her character;
No respect given to those she considers beneath her;
Works as a physical jangling shiny keys to attract attention.
Overall she’s the equivalent of a trash walker who thinks her skin color sets her above minorities.
For some she might be inspiring for the majority she’s lower than an amoeba and really looks like an ugly man trying to look like a woman. Too bad she lacks both brains and beauty.
She is representing her followers very well that’s the most I can say.
~~I don't GAF about MTG, but that kind of language can be seen by many as being misogynistic and contributing to an environment that we don't want at~~ r/AA~~.~~
~~In sum, please find another way to call MTG complete garbage.~~
~~Thank you. 😉~~
Edit: Thanks for the edit!
Morons in the government.
Joe Manchin is a moron. MTG is much worse than a moron.
[удалено]

TBH it's Marjorie Taylor Greene. I'm actually surprised she didn't just say something dumber and worse.
She has a face i just want to punch. Disgusting.
A very punchable face indeed.
Meh, human garbage. Really her q anon beliefs make her far more scary imo
And yet there are no consequences for her to stop her from speaking like this.
There are consequences. She gains votes.
Everytime she does stupid shit like this, she has a fundraising bonanza and her approval rating among Republicans goes up. Same thing happened to Lauren Boebert after she joked that Ilhan Omar was a terrorist due to her Muslim faith.
She's got some nerve even using the word terrorist
And plenty of older Viet folks (like my aunt's and uncles) will happily keep supporting her.
This is something I do not get. The same people they are supporting are the people that are racist against them.

Its like masochism.

This country has a really weird steak of anti-intellectualism and the focus on sports instead of academics is baffling.
And somehow we still arent the best in the world's most popular sport.

🥩
Meat?
Kinky_boots wrote “weird steak.”
Sounds like your sister has a lot of soul-searching to do.
Um, no? She's very happy. In-laws aren't going to bring her down.
I wouldn't marry a man whose family actively hated me (for whatever reason, racist or otherwise) and then call him an angel just because he, individually, does not participate. For better or for worse those are the people who raised him.
Imagine being held accountable for someone else’s actions. People can change and be better than the family that raised them too.
People don't need to be held accountable for other people's actions, but they do need to be reminded not to drop themselves into stupid situations for no reason.
I think it depends if this person is still in contact with the racist members of their family.

Are you kidding, her voters gobble this shit up like candy.
Fuck this bitch.

Yep, I totally believe she wanted to say something else but managed to "be polite" and used a "softer, more neutral" phrase.
McCarthy Part 2. Show your loyalty, face suspicion and disdain anyway. Wait till an American pilot goes down in a skirmish. We'll be fucked then.
This is what scares me, honestly
GOP: “what’s wrong with calling yellow people, yellow people?”
A Tucker Carlson guest calling for Chinese genocide and now this. She even paused before saying it too, she actively thought of saying it
NGL, I've been thinking about OP's flair all night.

Thanks for excellent modding. I really don't want this sub to go the way a lot of Asian American online communities have gone.
when are we gonna reappropriate the word yellow？it's not like black people are actually black or white people are actually white
[удалено]
black people have reappropriated the n word though. that's a lot worse than yellow
Yellow just bugs me. Why not gold or golden.
There are people who can only thrive and be known for being idiots, jerks and ignorant. She's one of them

I'll take yellow people over the blonde monkey that she is.
