UPDATE: rosie has given a truly heartfelt response to my work in her blog.
after a brief overview of some comments, here's my reply:
1) regardless how ya'll felt about the video, i
truly appreciate all of you taking the time to
provide your honest opinions of it. i believe
this can help address where we're really at and
improve everyone communicating with one another
2) i understand that rosie was joking. i am
actually addressing her defensive reaction
upon being told why, "ching chong," might be
inappropriate or offensive.
3) i do not hate rosie. this situation is merely
a way to frame the discussion of people being
open to learn from one another, admitting that
they might be ignorant about some things. i
actually believe the sentiment in the piece
applies to all groups. hence, "to all..."
4) i am currently under the impression that the
terms, "queer community," "plus-size," and,
"lesbian," are all politcally correct. however,
i will research the validity of that
belief.
5) i am not threatening that asians will punish
all the non-asians in the future. i am implying
that the population of the world is predomi-
nantly asian, and that just because in one
context she does not interact with asians,
doesn't mean that a context will not occur in
which she will have asians in her life.
6) woody fu produced this. ryan ling edited it.
thank you to tinnie chow 4 everything.
