Yup, this is public; I am that pissed off.

I wasn't going to get involved, I swear I wasn't.

And then...

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.

I don't want to take away from your personal experience, but this is part of why the anthropologist community is pissing me off at the moment. There are seriously such a bunch of arseholes over there.

Ugh! I don't go there usually, but gah, that sounds incredibly enraging.
