Hypocrisy and Selling Out

A few entries ago, I definitely stated that the Asian Fetish thing is completely FUBAR, and yet, beyond my control, one of the ads being placed in my entries is about Asian marriage. That’s some bullshit.

I remember awhile ago, I went to the Halocaust Museum and listened to a Halocaust survivor talk about how he went to a party when someone made an anti-Semetic joke. He had to stand up and say that the joke wasn’t funny, and saying that apparently ruined the party. That’s really unfortunate when a party is ruined by someone taking a stand rather than someone who is acting like a racist pig. I often think back to the story of this survivor, who survived one of the most horrendous events in history — how he was able to do this act.

As an Asian woman, I feel ashamed to have an ad like that on one of my entries. I assure you I did not pick it out.

Hate Watching

So, I am not embarrassed to admit that I at first Hate Watched the Sex and the City a few years ago, but then I became a fan on the DL, then an out-in-the-open fan — but a self-loathing one.

Hate Watching is an interesting sub-category to “hating” — something even the best of us are guilty of.

What is it with our intrinsic interests in things we loathe? I really want to go in depth about this idea. From hate-dating (dating a person you completely detest!), to hate watching, to even the irony of wearing fashion you hate… it’s a very interesting idea.

I can tell you one thing though: I do not hate crocs and gaucho pants enough to wear them.
