Good morning to everyone except the cop that made Karamo stop his car in Queer Eye as a joke and literally terrified him and the other four making them think he was getting racially profiled

Agreed but also fuck the show producer who thought that was clever, because you know he did not just find them traveling down a road. Someone thought that was a good idea in the writers room.

Important things to note:

  • Jonathan had his phone out to record in case something went wrong and they needed proof of what happened
  • Tan and Karamo both almost quit on the spot
  • It was planned for Bobby to be driving, but Karamo insisted on driving
  • N o t s c r i p t e d they were legitimately scared
  • Also either way it wasn’t a good idea regardless so don’t make excuses for it??
  • Also they found a maga hat and found other pro trump signs in his house later + that conversation between Karamo and cory in the car was super forced and uncomfortable

Tldr fuck that episode 🙃

Honestly you explained this better than I ever could, I don’t want this dismissed as “oh but it was a joke” because a black man in the south terrified to be pulled over by a cop and then having to be friendly with a pro trump cop is not funny at all to me.

Things I’m sick of

  • Asians being ignored in racial discussions or even worse, lumped in with whites as if we were essentially the same
  • The utter lack of education on Asian directed hostility that has been a continued issue in the united states ever since we first started coming here.
  • People treating all race issues as just Black vs White
  • The assumption that since Asians have the  stereotypes of being smart, docile, and nonthreatening, that we lack a struggle other minorities have
  • The hypersexualization of Asian women and the complete desexualization of Asian men
  • How almost all asian representation in media is accompanied with an accent, and rarely breaks from the stereotypes 

• How people think “Asian” means “East Asian”
• The serious lack of diverse Asian representation in mainstream media
• In addition to that, casting someone of a certain Asian ethnicity in a role meant for another (as if all Asians are the same)
• “Are you sure you’re Asian? But you speak English so well!”
• “Aren’t all Asians supposed to be pale/petite/etc?”
