Why Asians Are Being Anything But Quiet About The Offensive Oscars Jokes
This is actually really important, for more than one reason:
1) It demonstrates that, yes, non-white people are capable of making racist jokes.
2) It illustrates the point that, even for some liberals, the “race issue” in America is seen entirely as black and white (no pun intended) and completely ignores other minorities.

The point of #oscarssowhite was to open up the door to all kinds of diversity, not just for black people.
3) I’m glad I was watching hockey instead of this cringe-inducing nonsense.
