Reflexions on rants of blondes about libraries and Asia

[I drafted this a while back, when it was relevant but I'll put it here because I can. I'll illustrate it too because the wee hours of the morning are a very strange time]

So, [recently] Alexandra Wallace became world wide (web) famous by ranting, recoridng it and posting it on Youtube.


This piece has sparked some interesting retorts, like this one:



So, even though this raises some serious issues, it has also given me a pretext to look at Asian men all day, which I admit is something I already enjoy quite often, but this extended the amount of eye candy I swallow per minute, so I am somehow thankful.

And I shouldn't- this is eroding our souls. Every single person who has came out and retort, contest, critique, parody and spoof this woman do so in some degree, to feel morally superior to her and that's no good (even if they are superior).

But now allow me to be a nice cynical (or hypocrite, whatever you prefer) and have a taste of what it is to feel morally superior to her. HERE WE GO!

Alexandra, let's ta- no no. Look at me, not the ceiling. Don't sigh so hard, don't be obvious, you are studying poli- ah right, you can't because of Asians. That's what I want to talk about with you. See, it's not Asians. It's you. There, I said it. No, no, no, I know you are about to complain and let me assure you this is not about the racism. Not entirely at least. Gotta admit that was very, very dumb. But dear, to the point. You miss the points. That's the point here. Point.

Fig. 1 The point

Um... worry not, I'll help you with a diagram:

Fig 2 The point's diagram

Fig 3 appears to be a purple scrotum

Am I patronizing you too much? Allow me to elaborate as of why I think you miss the point: Our first clue is that you make personal judgements based on race and not personality and it is wrong. To make this clear, here it is again. Don't make PERSONAL judgements based on RACE instead of PERSONALITY- let me help you further

Visual aids! (no, I don't mean this will give you AIDS in your eyes)

So, the pattern here is: IF YOU HAVE TIME TO DYE YOUR HAIR THAT UNNATURAL SHADE OF BABY SHIT, YOU SURE AS HELL HAVE TIME TO PICK UP THE BOOKS, CHECK THEM AT THE FRONT DESK AND GO TO YOUR ROOM.

Sigh.

Sorry I got excited. So in the very surface, the most shallow layer of this (your area of expertise) and seen from your own logic, these people are so not worth your time you should follow your own logic and NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THEM. I'm sure you also have things to say about lazy, loud Mexicans (AHEM!) so let's get this out of the way first:

Avobe, "ching chong, ling long, ting tong" in Mexican

The equivalent of "OOOH!"

Now let's go back to the points. The way you explain things, you really think it's not your fault at all to be annoyed by people that face a personal crisis, it's kind of not their fault, but yes, but culture, but the real criminal here is THE TSUNAMI! how dare it stir up uncivilized, tacky people? That only gets in the way of your personal glory and pursuit of the beauty that is truth. Just let me point out there is a truth that slips you at the moment: America is the entire continent. Don't believe me, go Google it. Every citizen of this continent is American. Like Europeans and Africans and -YES- Asians.

...you should know that by now. A country does not equal a continent most of the times.

...

Ah... this is the appropriate place to insert a little spoof of the part of your speech where you refer to your nice American manners, your upbringing and the impeccable way you told those people how to behave in "your" school, maybe substituting "America" for "humanity" and telling you how to be empathic, but honestly, if I ever utter such a cheesy, corny, cheap and annoying series of sentences at once I will be able to taste the staleness and decomposition for weeks, besides, I don't want that kind of garbage coming out of my fingertips even as an attempt at being funny.

In conclusion you miss two points that should be important to your life in general:

#1 There always will be something getting in your way, it is up to you to be responsible and find a way to finish your tasks instead of blaming the world for not letting you finish.

#2 You are not important because of what group you belong to, it's your actions. You are responsible for them, not the group you come from. Don't be a bigot just because bigots raised you. You can either choose to be objective and not judge people by anything other than their own actions and ideas, being a mature adult, or hate everyone just the same including yourself, climb down the enormous pedestal you put yourself on and for the love of anything that is sacred get a mirror and do something dignified with your hair.

Okay that last one is not mandatory but it is largely encouraged.

Have a nice life (if you work hard and deserve it, that is)
