Thomas Jane and His Racist Swipe At Sung Kang
N’Jaila Rhee and Marissa Lee posted this story about Thomas Jane, an actor whom I had never heard of. Sylvester Stallone was directing a movie called Headshot, and Jane was fired and replaced by Sung Kang, the dude from Fast and Furious. Jane was pissed off, and he did what any disgruntled racist White man would do. He took a racist swipe at Sung Kang, his replacement.
Jane says his would-be partner Stallone didn’t even seem to care that he’d left: “I didn’t get a call from Stallone. I was a little upset about that,” Jane says, adding, “Maybe they didn’t want anybody on the movie with a bigger dick than him.”
Whites Claim Racial Oppression, and Chinese Men Have the Most Typical Face on the Planet
It looks like White America is under attack. Well, according to some people anyway: Are Whites Racially Oppressed?
Speaking of internet celebrities, they mentioned VDare, which is the online home of Steve Sailer, who is the the Human Biodiversity king. It says:
Peter Brimelow, author of “Alien Nation: Common Sense About America’s Immigration Disaster,” asserts that much of white America’s anxiety derives from living under a black president and changing demographics.
Diversity, he says, “is not strength.”
Brimelow’s website, VDARE.COM, has been described as a hate site by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a group that tracks extremist groups in the U.S.
Universal Humans and the Privilege of Whiteness
In the YA Literature thread, King, Kobukson and I had an interesting discussion with Oriental Right, formerly known as Asian of Reason. Some of you remember AOR–he is a “human biodiversity” proponent from Johns Hopkins who believes that black people on average are not as intelligent as White people, and Asian men aren’t as masculine as White men. With all due credit to him, he defended these views in a podcast with me, Alpha, and King (who is black), which we recorded here: Podcast. Although everyone disagreed with his views and the logical leaps he took to stand behind his beliefs, people respected him for having the courage to step up.

David Duke and Dukian Doppelgangers
- David Duke
A “doppelganger,” in the game Dungeons and Dragons, is a monster that changes shapes to mimic other humanoid creatures. In the X-men, the same kind of creature is called a shapeshifter. On the internet, a doppelganger is one who pretends to be someone that he or she is not. It is a form of troll. On Asian American sites, common doppelgangers tell people that they’re Asian when they really aren’t.
Malaysia’s Brain Drain
Someone sent this (NYTimes).
Malaysia has lots of talent, but there aren’t work or educational opportunities for everyone, so much of their talent leaves the country. The woman in the picture above, for example, left Malaysia for Singapore to pursue an education. She’s unlikely to go back. There are many reasons for this mass exodus of talent, including lack of educational opportunities and lower wages, but at the forefront of this trend is Malaysia’s racial policies. Malaysia is hostile to its Chinese and Indian minorities.

Asian Racism and the “Asian of Reason”
One of our readers posted a link to the “Asian of Reason” a few days ago. I’m always interested in Asian American opinions, and I was excited about the existence of a new Asian American blog. However, upon a quick reading of the material, much of the material and rhetoric disturbed me. It seemed like the point of the blog was to make the statement that there is a racial hierarchy and that people are the sum of their genes–which comes from race. Some of the views are outright appalling to me. According to the blog, blacks tend to be loud and unruly, Asian men are somehow less “alpha” than white men, and White people…well, I guess White men sit at the top of the hierarchy since the blogger lists “Steve Sailer” in his blogroll. Woo hoo for White Power.

YA Literature/Someone Like Summer by M.E. Kerr
As a writer, it’s always good to read words of other writers–to get ideas on delivery, to develop a sense of rhythm, and to see different perspectives. I’ve mostly been reading literary fiction, so I decided to take a break by checking out the YA (Young Adult) literary scene. My library has pamphlets that recommend books by providing a short synopsis of each book, and when I read the synopsis for Someone Like Summer by M.E. Kerr, I decided to give it a shot because of the interesting storyline: a rich White girl from the Hamptons falls in love with an undocumented Latino day laborer.

Hai Nguyen with her husband John after divorcing her supposedly sexist Vietnamese American ex-husband Greg
King posted this article in the FlashForward thread. He was posting it to say something about interracial relationships among African Americans, but the story I caught from the article was this one:
Hai Nguyen, 37, of Houston recalls the instant connection she felt after meeting her first Vietnamese boyfriend, Greg, in college. Nguyen says while she had to explain herself to white boyfriends, with Greg it was a feeling that “he so gets me, because we eat the same food, we like the same things, our families know each other and there is so little that needs to be said.”

John Mayer and his "David Duke cock"
John Mayer
Thanks to Larry who brought this story to my attention.
John Mayer was recently interviewed by Playboy. After using the N-word flippantly, he talked about how he doesn’t open himself up to black women because he has a “David Duke cock” which he describes as “white supremacist.” You can go to the Playboy site for the interview here and really read this one just for the article.
I think his use of the n-word is disturbing. It’s arrogance out of left field.
His statements about dating and black women, however, are flat out asinine. Plus, they make no sense:
