		<description>Yet ANOTHER anti-asian racist tirade masquerading as humor?
Why do we get these every semester?

Look, the d-bag may have thought he wrote such a fantastic satire but the fact of the matter is, what he wrote was simply racist drivel.  Satire DONE RIGHT provokes thought, not anger in the reader.  It should be illegal for just any moron to attempt to write a satire because MOST people don&#039;t do it right.  And when you attempt to write a satire about an ethnic group that you not only don&#039;t belong to, but is also discriminated against, you deserve all the backlash that you get.  Someone post this douchebag&#039;s picture so I&#039;ll know to spit on his face if I ever encounter him.</description>

		<description>As an outsider who is considerably older than many of the posters...can I say how impressed and proud I am of all the young people who write so beautifully and powerfully about the impact of these stereotypes?!? When I was starting college--almost 20 years ago--I am very sure I would not have had the confidence to speak up the way you are--and so effectively as well, with the anger the occasion deserves, but with such well-informed conviction that it makes it impossible to ignore you. It really inspires me to see how knowledgeable and confident you are. Gambatte!</description>

		<description>Wow. Lotsa hatred on this post. I have to agree with many on the point that your apology frankly sucked. I hope with the flood of comments in response to your apology/comment, you&#039;re sort of beginning to see where everyone is coming from. 

General question, though: is this fixation on White America, white privilege, and &quot;you white folks&quot; completely necessary or can it even be construed as a positive &quot;contribution&quot; to this ongoing discussion on race? There is no more evident example of the pot calling the kettle black. 

I understand that many of these comments are emotionally-triggered, and I can bet that majority of these weren&#039;t saved in drafts, reread, and then sent; however, what exactly are you accomplishing by throwing statistics of white males around and lamenting about the prevalent white privilege? It&#039;s existent, but what exactly are you proposing will alleviate the ongoing stereotypes and racial injustices? 

If you want to criticize the way he poorly apologized for his article, then fine. Likewise, all of your comments are subject to the same criticism for their utter inability to be contributory to the greater objective of &quot;understanding each other.&quot; His article may reflect that there is an awful lot about Asian cultures that he doesn&#039;t understand or even appreciate, but to collect whites into this mass of White America shows the same lack of empathy that drives the perpetuation of racism in America.

You lament about racism, but you only contribute to it.</description>

		<description>You won&#039;t hesitate to delete mean comments, right?

How about this? YOU DESERVE ALL OF IT AND MORE.

Did you ever learn about honor? Well, how about RESPONSIBILITY?

How about DISCIPLINE?

If you&#039;re really sorry, offer the &quot;parties&quot; something more than a &quot;sorry&quot;.
Ask us what you can do to make this better.

For me? I&#039;d like to see you make fun of yourself *enthusiastically*...  It has to be at least 1000 words, complete with pictures and videos. You also have to discuss you being a caucasian as a possible source of your ignorance and blasphemy.</description>

		<description>As an immigrant, a student and a black woman, I am not the slightest bit surprised that a white male would write *once again* another racist rant against Asians and their culture. I think of anything, your posts speaks more to the attitudes of entitlement with White America. For some strange reason, white folks simply cannot get over the fact that maybe Affirmative Action helps them out because THEY cannot achieve. Keep lying to yourself and believing that minorities are too stupid to be in college so they have to work harder than whites to get in and stay in. All that rhetoric does is keep you on the bottom of the totem pole considering that only 40% of white males have a college degree.</description>
