re: #72 gwangung

I didn’t have a problem with the Colbert segment, and neither did a lot of other Asian American activists. But I don’t have a problem with the passion displayed by Park, even though I disagree on her tactics.

But I do have a problem with folks attacking her with racial and sexist epithets. And I do have a problem with taking the focus off of Native American concerns. And I have problem with people trying to make this into a binary/ good guy-bad guy issue.

Again, some good things here, but a lot of folks haven’t acted in a very laudatory manner.

It’s certainly not a black-and-white situation.

/I’ll see myself out.
