oyceterYup, this is public; I am that pissed off.
I wasn't going to get involved, I swear I wasn't.

Because what the fucking fuck? Don't fucking throw the RAPE OF NANKING in my face when I am talking about white privilege. I just. I cannot type because WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?! My grandfather was in the Chinese Navy then, fighting against the Japanese. I have friends with relatives who grew up not speaking Taiwanese because of the occupation. My family left the fucking country and moved to Taiwan because of that war. Don't throw that in my face as a counter to white privilege and just fucking assume I haven't heard of it for some reason; you have no fucking idea.
Comments by people not on my flist are screened; everyone else feel free to comment, but please note I am REALLY FUCKING PISSED OFF about this. Don't be stupid. I will repost asshattery under a filter and mock, and I don't fucking care if you somehow think that's unfair.

And the next thing I am posting is going to be the Japan Law of Racism with the China Corollary in which anyone who mentions racism in China without referring to the East India Company, Hong Kong, the two Opium Wars, the opium trade, the silver imbalance, imperialism, the treaties of Nanking and Tientsin, the splitting open of China for Western trade, the divvying up of China into "spheres of influence" (guess whose influence?!) among several Western countries, and the Boxer Rebellion FAILS TEN TIMES OVER. Because fuck that! You don't get to use my history like that! (sorry. Not you you. Him-you.)
Sigh. I thought I had calmed down but clearly not. Yes, that hit quite a few of my buttons why do you ask? ;)
