can we please talk about how tone deaf and offensive and awful S02E03 of Kimmy Schmidtâaka the one about âAsian American activismâ & with Titus dressed as a geisha in yellowfaceâis????
Like it first of all frame AA activismâand all activismâas unreasonable internet jerks who arenât interested in a conversation, just in yelling at people
the placing of the âtransracialâ white guy in the AA group is gross just because a) there ARE transracial asians in real life, such Asian adoptees, and b) the conversation around Asians as just âhonorary white peopleâ is unfortunately real and pervasive, and this just perpetuates that
the Asian American audience has dubbed Titus âHitlerâ because of course thatâs what those easily offended and incendiary activists doÂ
the Asian-American crowd is âwon overâ by Titusâs performance, and is confused???????
and then they decide that mocking AA activism isnât enough, they make a punchline out of sensitivity towards Black Lives Matter; the Asian American girl then vaporizes and disappears in a beam of light after she âoffendsâ herself after saying that she canât breathe
not to mention the presence of non East Asian voices in Asian American groups only there to contribute to the characterization of AA groups (and activists in general) as ridiculously disorganized and unfocused, and prone to exaggerated whining about issues as âsillyâ as âpast livesâ
Trivializing AA activism and people is not okay. what the hell????
