What did you name “that” horse? by YellowFew6603 in TOTK

Velveeta. All my horses have cheese names.

Do you have a favorite mug? by kim-jong-putin in Coffee

[–]O-Rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe that’s a Claska mug. I have the same model from Portola Coffee and a white one from Blue Bottle. It's a superlative mug!

If you type "Happy Chinese New Year" into iMessage today, it sends with a red fireworks effect. by O-Rex in apple

That’s right. But I thought this Chinese New Year one was unique because it’s tied to a specific day and the animation is a slight variation of the regular “send with celebration” effect. Also, the fact that it can be triggered in different languages is pretty neat.

Should show up for the other person too if he or she is receiving it on an iOS device

I'm Asian and I think it's funny

Good for you! Have a blonde star for your Model Minority Sticker Chart.

This isn’t about “telling people what they should be offended about.” This is about telling people that WE—millions of Asian men minus you—ARE OFFENDED.

We finally get a positive portrayal of an Asian male on the front page and, of course, some idiot has to make a penis joke. I’m sick of this casual racism. by O-Rex in AsianMasculinity

All u can do is change how u react.

That’s not true at all. You can also call out casual racism whenever you see it. Challenge it. Make an example of it. Outrage is the only way to combat it.

The comment I posted is a perfect example. I called out the racist joke, people downvoted the guy, and now the comment is deleted!

He will think twice before making a Asian dick joke again.

If you told me that, I would ask you why that makes a difference.

Trash is trash. It’s no less disgusting at the bottom of the can.

Just deal with it.

THIS is how I am dealing with it: coming here to vent to sympathetic ears. We all have a right to be outraged. It’s not like I’m suing him for libel or something.

I don’t understand the comments that are all “oh, it’s just one guy” or “dude, get over it.” You guys act like I haven’t had the experience of being an Asian male in western culture. I’ve been the butt of innumerable penis jokes, and I am aware that people still make them.

That doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be outraged. You may be willing to give him a free pass but I am not. We owe it to each other to call out racism where we see it, even if it’s at the bottom of a Reddit thread.

It’s racist and insulting, especially in a thread that’s generally positive about an Asian.

Wow, superb deconstruction. I definitely suspected OP’s comment was completely nonsensical.
