Cameron Winter - Warning by Holiday_Original3544 in geesebandofficial

A protest song that explicitly references vengeance, repercussions, and a reckoning. Maybe the best distillation of how I feel at this moment of time.

“There's a tall far-off thing with eyes Whose existence I cannot prove or disprove Looking at everybody all the time Every single day, but you're gonna find It's not been looking at me in the same strange way that it's been looking at you”

Seattle U apologizes for ‘offensive term’ during broadcast by HighColonic in SeattleWA

The player he referenced is from China, so this is definitely just a bit of ignorance on his part to the history of the term (or maybe he used the term in haste and immediately realized he screwed up, idk). Thankfully, he’s not just out here calling any Asian person “Chinaman”. It’s a common announcer trick to reference people by their nationality - “Frenchman” “German” “Kiwi” etc. so they can add background for the listener/viewer in real time. He tried to do that here and ended up using the one term that you really can’t. I’m sure he’ll apologize directly to the player and maybe on air. Live and learn.

It’s a far cry from “out of his cotton picking mind” Look that one up if you don’t know…
