Suey Park's epic fail Huffington Post interview about #CancelColbert

This is the great stuff South Park episodes are born from.

The two later had a twitter exchange, where he called her a professional umbrage-taker.

She doesn't even wait to get defensive. "Why cancel Colbert?" "well that's a loaded question" No it's it's not, it's as direct as can be.

I love how she pointed to another time that she trended something on twitter, as part of her credentials as a writer/activists. This is the world we live in.

So the first question is : Why cancel Colbert?

And she immediately responds with: That's a loaded question.

WHAT??? That's what you're trying to do! YOU STARTED A TREND CALLED #CANCELCOLBERT. The reporter is giving you an opportunity to answer the most basic question that pertains to what has transpired and it's a loaded question???

WOW!

"white men talk over me"

she talks over him first

accuses him of minimalising her experiences...

tells him as a white man he doesn't have the experience or ability to sympathise or understand

She says "white liberal's" like I would imagine a racist would say nigger.

To be fair she talked over him - he was reading the tweet from Colbert out

Aww man, I really felt bad for this girl! I bet she gets stressed out about things that make no sense all the time. :(

Xenagos · 1 日

What gets me is that the thing she supposedly detests, which seems to be "people being racist" is then used by her as a weapon. It's weird, because she wants White people to fix it... yet alienates White people by saying essentially we have no right to speak on it, and should just stay out of it. Wait, what?

I think this new Social Justice movement is actually imploding in on itself, and causing more harm than its preventing. When you have people like Suey Park and the other Twitter/tumblr crusaders who strike first, and without remorse, then you have an issue. I'll step in front of it, I'm Gay, but I hate those people who decorate their blog with the LGBTQ flag, and adorn their page with who they "represent" and then go on to eviscerate everything "offensive" they can find.

I have been pretty open about who I am. The way I live is forgive and forget. These people are using their "activism" as a means of venting cloaked hatred. Maybe it started off as a good cause. Go you for helping your Gay friends! But then... those bigots started pissing you off. Then you started to hate people for calling that Transman the wrong gendered pronoun. Ok, that isn't so bad as long as it wasn't intentional.

This is when they start bothering me. When you are an ally, I love you. When you are a White Knight (not literally, but sometimes it fits) then you bother me. The Civil Rights Movement was made possible through support of White people just as much as Blacks. Same with LGBTQ. Allies are called so because they are.

I'm ranting now... but Social Justice is getting warped by people like Suey Park.

She...is being incredibly racist.

I would say that I loved this.... but I'm a white male so... :(

I am so damn ashamed to attend the same university as Suey. I am currently in an Asian American studies class, and they are praising this woman as a fucking hero for her total shit show. I stand by the belief that the SJWs like her are turning matters of equality into matters of professional victimhood for personal gain. It fucking sickens me.

Jesus christ, "enact the labour"?! Is this real life.... guys maybe she is a huge troll and we all just got trolled in a big way? crosses fingers

I lost it when he said "it's just a stupid opinion." Didn't see it coming and loved every second of it. Well done Josh.

'Writer & Activist' is a creative way to say unemployed.

She could've picked a better setting for her backdrop instead of a 12 year old girl's bedroom.

My opinion as an asian man is that she is a hypocrite and a bigot.

TheGreenBastards · 1 日

I don't know who Josh Zepp is, but I am impressed he could abide that utter moron without losing his cool. I don't think I could entertain that level of entitled stupidity for so long.

"Being white doesn't mean I gave up my right to have an intellectual conversation when I was born"

I loved this quote from the host. Telling someone "your opinion doesn't count because you are a white man" is both ad hominem and racist itself

After she said "when men feel they have a right to talk over me" what if he said "asian women feel they have a right to be shitty drivers" she would cry racism to be marginalized and having her opinion discarded outright simply for her race like she is doing with the host.

Her hypocrisy is overwhelming, debate the facts of the specific topic or don't. You don't get to say "your opinion doesn't matter because of your race".

As a white male I am just checking in to see if there are any people of color around here to tell me what range of thoughts might be acceptable. I would not want to patronize anyone.

djshyne · 1 日

Man, she could have totally brought to light many issues that are actually prevalent in America, but instead totally goes awry with the whole minority and white devil aspect.

DrYoda · 1 日

I like how her title "Writer & Activist" basically translates to "Tumblr user"

If you think this is bad, just wait until you scroll through her Twitter "stream of consciousness". You have to constantly remind yourself that it's a real person who genuinely believes the things she tweets and RTs, and -- worse yet -- that there are thousands who follow and support her 100%. It's disturbing, actually.

I get what she's trying to say, it just doesn't seem like she's very good at articulating it.

Suey is trying to say that Colbert's joke is offensive in the same way that it would have been offensive if Colbert had said his foundation was named "The Porch Monkey Foundation for the Sensitivity to Niggers or Whatever." Clearly, Colbert would have gotten a lot of flack if that had been the joke, why should using a racial epithet for Asians be any different? What makes one slur okay and another not okay?

That point makes sense. Unfortunately, for the vast majority of people watching, that point was lost under all the crazy stuff she did/said:

She instantly assumed that she was being attacked ("well that's a loaded question...")
Making blanket statements about a group of people (i.e. "white liberals")
Blaming "white liberals" for
- joking about racism
- not really caring
- "feeling like they can't have fun any more, and feeling entitled to laugh at things that aren't funny,"
Speaking over the host: "I know, but white men definitely feel like they are entitled to talk over me..."
"[White men] feel entitled to minimalize my experience"
"[White men] feel like they're sooo logical compared to women"
(Interrupting again): "You just called my opinion stupid, so I'm not going to enact the labor of having to explain to you why that's incredibly offensive"

Most of all, the thing that grinded my gears was how she passively attacked the host by referring to "white men," and then got super offended when the host directly attacked her by calling her opinion stupid.

It's a real shame that the only people who get airtime when it comes to fighting against the inequalities that a lot of people don't see are always so bad at presenting their arguments. It makes the people who view them think that those arguments are invalid (hence why people think all feminists are crazy man-haters when the majority of them are down-to-earth people who are tired of tangible, observable, often unconscious ways people treat women as inferior).

Also, why the hell do people ALWAYS send death/rape threats ANY time a woman is in the news for something controversial? WHAT THE HELL?!?

I hate this women so much as an Asian American. She's going around acting like she is the voice of all Asians. This whole dumb #cancelcolbert "campaign" totally dismissed the actual story about Native Americans and Dan Synder.
