How dare Miles have posted that photo of that Korean farmer with that hat. Culture has changed. Surely not EVERY Korean dresses like this in 2021? It now makes it very plain that the intent is to say that ALL Asians are smiling hat wearing farmers. I bet you would even imply that that farmer there uses chopsticks when he eats, but it is 2021 again. Will you be so brazen to say that that farmer eats rice 3 times a day? How brazen if so! Koreans now in 2021 can eat falafel and hummus and tamales and even pizza! Why would they eat rice 3 times a day?? I bet you would even go so far over the line and say he eats soy sauce a lot. And, and, .... uhhh .....

Oh, wait....

Ah wait I will attest I’m pretty sure my wife could eat rice 3 times a day without ever getting sick of it. I try not to eat that much rice as I really like a lot of butter on it. I’ve gotten better and will make Cajun rice with just a little oil. Thing is you could make fun of my wife about being Asian and loving rice and she will flip that shit around and talk about the unhealthy American diet. So she finds nothing racist about it rice is popular and a staple in China really because of tax reasons. FYI backed potatoes are becoming very popular in China the past couple years, every Chinese guest I’ve entertained over the years lives Idaho backed potatoes, oh yeah, how dare miles be so racist.

My friend married to a Filipino was urged to eat his rice. He complained to me 'It clogs me up. I want potato, but she cooks only rice'. I chuckled as I do what I want.

Speaking of culture, when I visited him in Manila we hung out at a place called the Hobbit Bar with only dwarves working there. Twitter would be aghast. It was awesome.

Heck, if you can have strip clubs, we can have dwarf bars.

Sure just tell me why you can buy a copy of mein kampf on Amazon but modern conservator writers are banned. Are they now “literally worse than hitler”?

I would refer you back to #1 and 3, although #2 would play a role as well.

It's odd though as any company choosing to limit or discontinue certain films books etc are really proving shortsighted. I mean if you pull Dumbo on stereotypes what of the overall message these convey in the first place? It's kneecapping original intent and a proven platform in the name of society on whole being able to look back years later and admit..yeh, I can see that can be an issue. But it's like throwing the baby out with the bath water to quote my Granny ma from way back . What did kids take from a Dumbo, pro animal rights and cruelty, anti greed and corruption, don't rely on booze or substance or you may trip balls and see rainbow colored elephants. I cannot recall what else it's been a few decades . And the thing is they do multiple remakes of these same films and are fully capable or 'correcting' or modernizing ? the content. Did Tim Burton have crows ffs? The market and avenue can tend to itself and in doing so educate. I still think much of this is overblown if we're talking a literal "ban" on a lot of what is mentioned. I was looking for old almanacs just Monday and they tried to set my up with free Candice Owens on audio book. Show me Government banning..problem. Show me businesses..that's how the ball bounces.
