SuChin Pak Speaks About The Racist Incident That She Experienced While At MTV News
Back when MTV still showed music videos instead of showing whatever it is the fuck they show now, SuChin Pak followed in the illustrious footsteps of Kurt Loder, Tabitha Soren, John Norris, Serena Altschul, and Gideon Yago as the only serious journalists a young me trusted (read: a member of MTV News). SuChin Pak was the first Asian American to join MTV News. And because of the rise in reported racist attacks against Asians and the murder spree in Atlanta, which left six Asian women dead, SuChin Pak decided to speak out against hate against Asians including the time when a co-worker at MTV News said some racist shit about her while she was just trying to do her job. Who knew that Sharon Osbourne was an MTV VJ in the early-aughts?!
Rock M. Sakura Of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Opened Up About Her Past In Sex Work
In the wake of the horrifying mass murder of eight people, including six Asian women, at three Atlanta massage spas by a confessed killer who claims he has a sex addiction, drag queen Rock M. Sakura has opened up about her own experience in the sex industry. Rock, who is Filipino-Vietnamese American, tweeted that she worked in massage up until she was cast on season 12 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. She kept this hidden out of fear that she’d be slut-shamed, blacklisted, or kicked off the show. But after Tuesday’s shootings, Rock decided it was important to come out as a former sex worker because “right now people need to see, need to hear, and need to know that we need to #stopasianhate, and protect sex workers.” She says any of the victims “could easily have been me.” Continue reading
The Royal Family Is Not Racist, So Says Prince William
Well, everyone, case closed! Racism does not exist in the Royal Family! Prince William has said so! I guess this also means that the sky is not blue, water is not wet, bears do not shit in the woods, and P. Willy’s got a head full of luscious locks and he’s been wearing a bald cap this entire time!
William and Duchess Kate did one of their hand-shaking elbow-bumping events today, and a reporter asked him a couple of questions including if the Royal Family is racist. William should’ve just pretended that the question got lost in the wind and never made it into his earholes, but instead, he answered it, saying that they’re not racist. As the laugh track was cued up, Princess Michael of Kunt’s racist brooch probably threw the most scathing side-eye, and Prince Philip’s ears burned something extra after hearing the words “racist” and “royal” while in his hospital bed.
Oprah Says That The Queen And Prince Philip Were Not The Royals Who Made A Racist Comment About The Skin Color Of Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Baby
During Oprah’s interview with the Leah Reminis of the Royal Family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, a big moment was both Harry and Meghan claiming that someone in the family wondered, “Just how dark is that baby going to be?” That’s right, there were people in the Royal Family who wondered what shade Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was going to be. As everyone looks at Prince Charles and Prince William, Oprah let us know to cross THE QUEEN and extra messy Prince Philip off the list of suspects. And Buckingham Palace is getting pressured to look into the Case of the Racist Royal.
Six Dr. Seuss Books Are Being Pulled From Publication For Racist Depictions
Last month, The Muppets got theirs for being racist, and a disclaimer was added to episodes on Disney+ with questionable racial and cultural depictions. Well, now it’s Dr. Seuss’ time. “I am Sam. Sam I am racist.” Just kidding, but maybe not, as a whole six Dr. Seuss books will no longer be published due to racist imagery. And was the imagery racist? It sure was. And as a result, The Grinch will have to go on Red Table Talk to explain himself.
Chris Harrison Is Temporarily Stepping Away As Host Of “The Bachelor” After His Remarks About A Contestant’s Racist Past
Get ready to be legitimately shocked because Chris Harrison, who has hosted The Bachelor and its spin-off shows, like The Bachelorette and Bachelor In Paradise, since 2002, has stepped away from the series because of an interview where he made some questionable remarks. While speaking with the first Black Bachelorette, Rachel Lindsay, Chris dismissed one of the current contestants’ highly-racist past as really nothing and called out instead the “woke police.” Ah yes, the people calling out the racism are wrong.
