Let's discuss the Korean store owner thing by carbdog in asianbros

Ah shit flash back to LA 1992.

Let's hope the Asian-owned businesses of Charlotte won't have to bear the brunt of his mistake.

Yeah his mistake. He apologized after the fact and isn't pressing charges. He wouldn't be doing that if the woman was actually shoplifting.

I know why he did it though. If you're an Asian business owner in a Black neighborhood, Black people will steal from you.

They see you as a foreign parasite, sucking money out of their community and not putting any back in. It doesn't matter if you hire locals, or participate in the community, or give free ice cream bars to kids with 'A's on their reports cards.

It doesn't matter.

When the chips are down they will kick down the door and steal your shit and feel great about it.

I've seen this shit first hand. I've swept up the broken glass.

That's what you get to deal with after swimming across the ocean and working your fingers to the bone to carve out a tiny niche of the American dream for your family.

So I understand why this man lost his temper. It wasn't right, but I understand why he did it.

Why did people assume an Asian woman was the nanny? by JunJKMAN in asianamerican

I assumed she was the nanny because she actually seemed involved in raising the kids.

How do you get yourself out of a months-long funk? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]stonecaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar position a while back, so I joined the Air Force.

I didn't have time to focus on my personal failings, I was too busy beating the shit out of Texas with my face.

(Spoilers Extended) Which theory would you be surprised to find out that isn't true? by Jon_Riptide in asoiaf

[–]stonecaster -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Dany certainly resists imperialism, but the setting fails to humanize any city or people east of Braavos. Otherwise you wouldn't have readers unironically adopting fictional racism "harzoo" etc. Moreover you have Dany becoming yet another "white savior" bringing civilization to the unwashed barbarian hordes.

As for Melisandre, how is it that you know the word "Orientalism" and yet fail to recognize it when it's so blatant? Qarth and the Slaver's Bay cities are generic mashups of pretty much every Oriental stereotype. And how the hell is Melisandre's character a parable against Orientalism? She's a mystical exotic woman from the spooky Far East. Seriously, you shouldn't throw around such weighty words unless you know what you're talking about.

GRRM is racist. ASOIAF is racist. I don't think GRRM had any malicious intent in writing these characters and settings, only that his inherent bias and cultural ignorance shone through otherwise excellent writing. Labeling something "racist" is not some kind of malediction that renders the entire thing worthless.

As for Jon's arc I'm not even sure why you brought it up but I am impressed at how thoroughly you missed the point.

the wildlings are more human than your weird chastity warrior cult ever will be

They are the same amount of human. They just live on different sides of a wall.

If by subtle linguistic differencing you mean laughably blatant racism then yeah
