To Asians, the term ching chong is equivalent of the N**** word for black people. You just don't use that word no matter what in public as it is considered highly obscene to many. The only people that's defending Colbert's satire is probably white people, but seriously white people don't define what's offensive to Asians and Blacks.

Sorry, but I will not let other groups dictate what I say or what I think.
Historically derogatory words that everyone knows are foul and demeaning are one thing (e.g., the N-word), but allowing groups to create a constantly evolving list of newly offensive words and phrases is quite another. That is an attempt to exert power and control over others -- and to squash free speech.

I agree you on that free speech should be protected. But no one tells you what words and expressions not to use either. There are always repercussions to follow if you decide to offend any particular group in public. Fair enough, you are more than welcome to deal with them if you insist on using derogatory words to offend people.

Black guy in Asia here - "ching chong" is nowhere near as intense as the word "nigger" - your post is bullshit.
Carry on.

So it’s always this logic of how can we understand whiteness better, and that’s never been my politics. I’ve always been about occupying the margins and strengthening the margins and what that means is that, for a long time, whiteness has also occupied the margins. Like, people of color get in circles with no white people in the room and we see that whiteness still operates. So I think it’s kind of a shock for America that whiteness has dominant society already, it also seeps into the margins. What happens the one time when the margins seep into the whiteness and we encroach on their space? It’s like the sky is falling.

And so, I think in that sense, it’s Colbert that lacks context. It’s Colbert that doesn’t realize how he’s using racism as a vehicle to end racism, which is really just circular logic and doesn’t lead to an end destination of liberation, so I think if you are going to do it, you can’t draw parallels. Orientalism and genocide are actually not relative or comparable in social location. They’re not comparative in social location. They’re relative, which means that the logic behind colonialism is a very different logic than Orientalism, which is a very different logic than anti-blackness, and that means to uproot anti-blackness, colonialism and Orientalism you need to uproot the logic that’s been occupied. And so it is not a successful way to uproot colonialism by using the tools and the tricks and the metaphor of Orientalism. It actually isn’t a [sic] accurate portrayal of history or of our current situation in understanding those three pillars of white supremacy.

If she feels oppressed by living in a country founded by slave-owning white men, maybe she should move back to her ancestral homeland.
Another example of the unsustainability of multiculturalism. She surely has no issue with the vast amount of wealth and the tremendously advantaged lifestyle that the labors of white men past and present have afforded her, and yet she still harbors a stinging hatred and resentment for them.

I love it when Asian Americans try and identify with "marginalized minorities".
She does realize that asians take up a radically disproportionate percentage of the UC system right? If they were being discriminated against, you think think they wouldn't be half of the student body...
Oh yeah, Asians also have a very high average income per household.
She can't take a joke, literally.
What a dumb bitch.
Yeah, but Asian Americans have a very high average income per household for a reason. They work and study hard to the extent of it being stereotypical, it's in their subculture as a collective. Most engineering programs in universities would collapse without them, and that's where the majority of them are enrolled, as well as STEM and business to a lesser degree.
Are they supposed to just go on welfare instead of starting up businesses instead of having a work ethic and start killing each other? Would that give them political correctness immunity in your view?

Asians get hit hardest when schools have Affirmative Action in place.
Having said that, Suey Park wouldn't dare touch Affirmative Action because she'd have to admit that the most privileged groups are blacks and hispanics, which doesn't fit her narrative of "smashing white privilege".
