The end of anti-racism

I'm not sure what is funnier, Day Above Ground's song Asian Girlz or the hysterical reaction of the Huffington Post and all right-thinking anti-raciss individuals to it:
Today in horrible people doing horrible things: Day Above Ground released a song called "Asian Girlz," and it's about as bad way worse than you could possibly imagine. Judging by the reactions, "Asian Girlz" is either the most racist thing ever or just the most racist thing you'll see all day.

Here's what happens in the music video: The band is trapped in a bird cage while an Asian model strips out of a prim outfit to reveal lingerie and tattoos, while said band sings about things like fried rice and "buttf--king all night." As Buzzfeed noted, the fourth verse is actually just a list of Asian stereotypes. While this is happening, every member of the band goes on a date with an Asian girl, nights chronicled in Polaroid snapshots. THEN, the model in question picks up the bird cage and takes it (and the band) to the bathroom where she -- of course -- draws a bubble bath and lets the miniature non-musicians out for a dive into the water....

Not only is there plenty of racist stuff to get one's blood boiling, there's also this actual lyric: "17 or 23, it doesn't matter to me!"
Speaking as an East Asian Studies major, an Official Person of Color with an Asian grandfather, and a Japanese scientist, all I have to say is that the song is hilarious.  Especially the little pseudo-Chinese keyboard riff.  As for the stereotypes, they exist for a reason

It is observable that whites in general, and young white males in particular, are increasingly over the idea that racism is the worse of all possible evils.  And now that diversity is a central tenet of the establishment, it should come as no surprise that the young and rebellious fail to regard it as the holy of holies.

I agree.
22 is fine, but when you're hunting down 23-year-olds, well, that's just cougar territory.
The cap is 22.
It always has and always will be 22.
Changing it to 23 for the sole purpose of assonance is simply asinine.

If you ask any guy who is into asian girls, he will give you most of the reasons listed in the song. They also happened to find the only asian girl with real curves, who can't be mistaken for a twelve year old boy. Amazing.

Is racism actually being prejudiced against someone of a certain race, or is it merely acknowledging differences of other cultures and races? Or is it just when a white man opens his mouth or fires a synapse?

They are cool about it because they have perspective. Black people in this country whine and moan about how racist we all are because they have to deal with driving around in Escalades, picking up free money, getting preferred scholarships, guilt ridden white girls begging for them to gangrape them etc.

Asian people are cool with a few jokes and humor, because they have had to deal with a) constant war b)the slaughter of millions c)communism d)Tianenmen Square e)Tsunami that killed 300,000 people f)starvation.

Day Above Ground

I can't tell if they are for real or not. Their website is hilarious:

Day Above Ground is a on a mission. With a solid foundation based on traditional roots of the past, paired with the relevance of now and a clear vision of the future, this is only the begining of their already impressive journey. Having just returned from their first official tour beyond the local scene, it's clear they are up for the next challenge and eager to connect with their fan base on a larger scale.





Day Above Ground harbors a brew of such bands as: A Perfect Circle, Led Zepplin, Incubus, Linkin Park, Eyedea, Wu Tang Clan, Defones, & The Doors. With plenty of raw, live experience, DAG is constantly pushing the envelope through songwriting, performance, and overall professionalism. In just one year, the band has self-released two titles, the 'DAG EP', and their first LP, 'High View'.



"There's a ton of melody in these tunes.. at times there's a nice heavy edge to the tracks, while others, there's an almost ethereal quality to them ..one thing that each of these songs have in common is incredible groove. It permeates the album and drives the music. High View is infectous and gets right up under your skin"

- Bruce Moore, PureGrainAudio.com



Day Above Ground would like to thank our sponsor, On Stage Stands, for their continued support.. Don't go On Stage without them!!

Of course given both touch and for those too chicken to learn, hunt and peck, both QWERTY and Dvorak involve stereotyping.

We need to band them.

Though I think the vulgar references are reasonable for condemnation (butt to each his own - do you let your children watch the video? If not, why?)

It is far better to teach that stereotypes are a a good first approximation (for both good and ill), but that individuals ought not be judged by them. Observe and see if the person meets it or is an outlier.

Blacks living in Southfield - just over the border of Detroit - are exclusionary to the point of racism. I think their personal experience suffices, and that it cost to escape the ... abyss (black holes suck, yet wither Detroit?). They are keen not to have to repeat the experience.

Dear White, Limousine (except he can't afford it with his authorship skills income) Liberal Mr. Scalzi, feel free to come live here where you will be the minority. Stop wearing the clothing of the numerical majority and move here.

Why not both?


As to the end of anti-racism, back in 2008 as soon as Obama was elected I predicted he would be the catalyst to get race relations moving forward again in this country. Not because of any positive actions he might take (I doubted then he would take many, and today I'm not sure he's taken any), but because his existence as President would make the moral bankruptcy of the race-hustler industry impossible to ignore, and White Guilt would begin evaporating. I was absolutely certain that with a Black man in the White House, two things would happen:

1) the race grievance lobby would overplay their hand, thinking they were now in charge. Trayvon Martin is a perfect example of this.

2) every President, good bad or indifferent, gets (and deserves) criticism, and every semi-conscious American knows this. But the typically APOC (Aggrieved Person Of Color), well, whatever color their skin is, the most notable thing about it is how incredibly thin it is. Criticism is intolerable to them. All the normal, everyday expected sharp elbows thrown at an American President would provoke outrage and claims of racism that would be perfectly understood as phony posturing. The predictable response of the enablers would publically discredit their claims to a huge segment of the public.

My favorite part:

"Life as a firefighter in Detroit is unimaginable. They’re so understaffed that firefighters often find no time for sleep because blazes are constant. Fire trucks and engines are regularly broken down. And hydrants are increasingly in disrepair.

Check back for updates."

I'm half expecting this:

UPDATE #1: The fire truck caught fire, and, due to non-payment of the water bill, the department had to resort to patting it down with baby blankets that they had bought with their own money, intending to give them to toddlers whose houses burned down. Fortunately, there are no houses left in Detroit.

UPDATE #2: A water main unexpectedly burst at the fire department this morning, flooding the area. Due to cutbacks in the city budget, it has yet to be capped or repaired. The resourceful fire department refused to let the water go to waste, and began to gather the flood in buckets and other fire department containers, for later use in fire emergencies.

The bright side: the street surrounding the fire department is now considered fire proof, and the department has enough water stores in the short term to address any fires in or around the station (the department no longer makes calls, in an attempt to prevent crimes from being committed at the department in their absence.)

Initial reports are that the main was either caused by a breakdown in the city's ancient water infrastructure, or else due to repeated accidental blows by a fire axe.

UPDATE #3: The fire station was robbed again last night, this time at gun point. By Detroit City Police.

SWPLs who would act towards Asians based on the very same stereotypes which are used here. Most white guys who have "yellow fever" like Asian girls based on all the stereotypes here as well.

And of course don't hope for any sort of long-lasting uproar from the Asian community in the US, unlike the impact of the Trayvon Martin case on blacks. Besides some obligatory statements from the presumptuous AAJAs, the outrage is and will be mostly driven by white liberals.

I agree. When everything is racist, nothing is racist anymore. When everything is abuse, than nothing is abuse. If everything is rape, than nothing is rape. If you blow the meaning of those words than the words have no meaning. And so it goes until you wind up with the exact opposite of what you wanted. Or claimed to have wanted.

The possibility that some people may inadvertently be bringing about the exact opposite of what they claim to have wanted, brings me hope.

Maybe it is OK if where they are from is not really a country at all. Northern Michigan is where they keep the Uppers. I noticed in the Army that guys from Maine were pretty unique too. (Most of us thought they were fags....but no, they are just that way.) Southerners have not been a country in 150 years, so that is OK, especially Texans. I am not sure. Is Canada a real country?

I'll bet if they did a tribute to sexy U.S. women (I know - they are rarer than honest lawyers) no one would care no matter how bad the stereotypes.

Every white guy in China that I work with has a Chinese wife and for good reason. I don't think this is a 'phase' so much as a decision and reaction based on past experience. The few I know who import white girls usually get divorced or drop their girl friends in roughly 15 minutes. The white girls (not Russians or Ukrainians) who come here share some features:

* They are fat
* They try to act like men, specifically very obnoxious men
* They dress like the worst caricature of a lazy 'hipster' you can imagine
* They are extremely arrogant
* They are loud
* They put forth no effort to take care of anything or anyone including themselves
* They usually end up lesbians or go home after the 1st year

It is very rare to see one of these beasts actually date a Chinese man. It does happen, I have seen it, but usually it is because the girl is an exception (isn't fat and/or is shy and feminine). Over here at least they simply cannot compete with the local girls.

In the city I am in the Russian girls I see are super models doing ads for glitzy shopping centers, Prada bags, and the like. These are sought after by Chinese men, very very rich Chinese men. They take haughty and arrogant to a new level, above even what an American girl writing for HuffPo can accomplish. Turns me off and actually after dealing with Russian girls and American/Canadian/English girls I can safely say I am done with white chicks. You can have em'. Give me Asian any day. I don't believe that is a 'phase' so much as a reaction to constant negative stimulus. I literally am not attracted to white girls anymore and I am not 90 years old.

Black women are at the very bottom and are truly the losers in the dating game: extremely ugly + equally stupid.

"Not sure I get where the outrage is coming from? Pick any rap song at random and it probably has more vile sexist, racist crap in it than that did."

Rap? Black dudes do rap. As a Historically Oppressed Minority, they can do not wrong -- even against their own women.

Think about it. If it was an Asian band singing "Asian Girls" no one would be complaining.

Take the cl!t-chopping Somalis in Minneapolis, for example. There are hundreds of Somali women, butchering girls genitals every week, yet white feminists will say nothing. Doctors don't report it to the authorities, nor do cops, nurses, social workers or any other liberal activist types.

Of course, if some white folks chopped their daughters' cl!ts, the Minneapolis feminists and other lefties would flip out and go off on "the religious right" and "fundies" [read "non-Jewish whites"] and such.

Why? The whole point of the [manufactured] outrage is to destroy white hegemony. Particularly white male hegemony.

Curiously, once they have committed to moral outrage based on a mistaken racial identity, they don't back down. Think of what they did to Zimmerman, (the Indian/white/black Hispanic. They just put his real race out of their minds and keep hammering on white folks.

As long as you remember that their moral outrage is generated solely to advance anti-white attitudes and the destruction of white hegemony in white lands it all fits together. It all makes sense.

I don't know about so-called yellow fever among men, but in general most American women are incredibly threatened by Asian girls and especially their feminine stereotype.

I live in NYC which has plenty of good looking white girls, but even still they are threatened by the appeal of Asian girls of all types. For the most part, Asian girls appear generally slimmer, more feminine, and are not all man-hating bitches. They might have their downsides in other ways, and sure, everyone is unique, but there's no denying that most regular white American girls HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE the idea of a white guy being attracted to, or even dating/marrying, an Asian girl.

I'll bet a lot of the anger over this video is merely from the fact that it involves white guys' attraction for an asian girl.

Another standard of "feminine appearance" we're physically incapable of meeting. It's damn near impossible for a grown white woman to look like a 12-year-old boy, so we literally can't compete with that if that's what men decide they want.

We're not real good with the whole "target demographic" thing, no. But even then, it's a bit worrying that "fully-developed white woman of reasonable height and intelligence" is becoming a niche market rather than the default product for white men.

Another thing that's worrisome is that "feminine" is fast becoming defined by qualities a woman is NOT, rather than qualities a woman IS. NOT fat, NOT loud, NOT ambitious, NOT bitchy...but that's a different subject entirely.

Somehow it's not quite as obvious here, but when I was on a trip to Canada I saw an Asian girl on a subway (not the restaurant), and understood yellow fever.
