@can we clarify enough with the pretentious hipster scum crap: hipster = skinny jeans?
@mai lucy is asian.
@ummmm why the picture of the Fort Worth Museum of Modern Art? Is that really the best picture of a Richard Serra you guys could find?
@Valid but it was more that the author of the post (Lucy Tang) was commenting on herself (she’s a film major)… that should have been more clear.
@agree For all the crap you get about censorship, I would think Bwog would be more understanding about subtle racism, and not make dick statements like that one. But also, how does that even make logical sense? It’s like saying: “Despite the racial makeup of the NBA, black people can do more than just dunk basketballs!”
@umm “New York Korean Film Festival
Despite the racial makeup of SEAS, Asians are more than engineers, they also major in film studies!”
Bwog, take a note from OMA and learn about cultural sensitivity…or at least raise yourselves out of the pit of American ignorance.
