Asian lives matter, bigots!

I love Asians.

It's a pity that Asians don't feel the same way about other Asians.
It's almost as if their ancestors lived beside each other for centuries and grew to hate each other and not get along.

Nah, it's just racism.

LOL.

Why don't you have something better to do?

I'm just jumping on the forced DERPversity trend like everybody else. Don't hate.

Trolls don't have anything to do but seek attention like little children

Satire is never a waste of time, whether you agree with it or not.

I'm just happy we finally have a film that depicts a black woman in a positive way. Long overdue!

This is not the first. Watch "What's Love Got To Do With It"

Can you name a movie made within the last 30 years that does NOT portray a black woman in a positive way?

Aretha wasn't Asian. She was black.

Ha! Next you'll be trying to tell me Ann Boleyn wasn't black, you waycist bigot!
