What the fuck?
“I’m so embarrassed about what’s really going on, I’m still letting it sort of absorb in, I really, really didn’t even have any idea how much this is actually gonna offend people, when all I was doing was mocking and teasing myself,”
That’s some internalised racism there. I hope she is able to really benefit from being called out on it.
What is the marketing strategy behind that? Are people more likely to buy a house from a Vietnam sex worker?
Ever seen the demand for Asian house sales? How many are listed is Chinese, with Chinese agents, often with no English?
Ever gone to an open home and had the Chinese agent completely ignore you while actively pursuing every Asian person there?
Is it racist and offensive- yeah probably. But its also what alot of the market and sales strategy demand.
Probably thought it was funny, I don’t think there was any more of an angle than that.
Yes, she works for a company. Yes, she is a spokesperson for them.
But 'cmon guys. She was having a laugh at herself. Adding a bit of humour into what she does.
Go easy on her. Jeez.The world is too fucking PC these days. And, too bloody serious on top of it all.
Humor is fine but I feel like saying “me love you long time” as a spokesperson for a company is a bit much.
I too miss the era before polycarbonate
I don’t. What a material!
Whenever someone starts going off about “PC”, you just know a quality take is about to follow.
Down vote me all you like mate, but life will be shit without a laugh or two.
I really should have mentioned political correctness after my statement about the world being too serious. As an adjunct to that sentence… but it’s done, so…
Anyhow, I’m not justifying any racism. I’m laughing at the same thing she was because I understand where she was coming from; and I know I’m not alone.
I’ve had the pleasure of working in a four different countries mixing with cultures where people make fun of themselves for a laugh. It’s not uncommon in the world. The problem is some people are too sensitive.
That’s my “quality take”.
imagine being so exceptionally dull and un funny that your entire concept of funny depended on a good dose of racism in there to make it all go.
racism isn’t funny. If your entire idea of humor depends on racism, your shit was never funny.
your quality take is garbage.
Oh for fuck’s sake! I can’t believe you’re real. You know fuck all about me, my race, or my sense of humour. You would be surprised about all three of those!
Context doesn’t always come through with text responses. If you and I were sat across a table from each other, we’d probably be ordering another beer. Unless you’re a …, in which case the first beer would never happen!
Lighten up mate. Take a pill or something.
I don’t need to know shit about your race to find your fascination with racist shit gross. Context doesn’t excuse behavior that’s vile. I’d never sit down across the table with you, because you think in terms of cunts, I’d rather smash a pint over your head and being the pummeling.
fuck off racist garbage.
If she was just making fun of herself this is a storm in a teacup.
