Here’s yet another reason why I want to wifey up boyish, bushy-browed Justin Long:
Hilarious, foxy, AND lending his talents to a progressive political organization? This is why I keep hoping that “Long” is really an Asian name.
Thanks Sherilyn!

And luckily, this video is done very well. And how do we judge that? Because this shit is true — and because it’s true, it’s funny. And a little sad. But you know…laugh to keep from cryin’ and all that jazz!
Real talk. Cheers to you, Cindy Fang of Grumpy Panda!
Now someone should step up and do a “Shit White Guys Say…to Asian Guys”. Or “Shit Asian Girls Say…to Asian Guys”. Even more real talk!
Friday Fuckery: Shirtless Abercrombie in Singapore
Posted in Friday Fuckery, HAWTNESS with tags abercrombie and fitch, Friday Fuckery, shirtless models, Singapore on December 9, 2011 by Cbruhs
I’m not a big fan of Abercrombie (its clothes OR its racist T-shirts and discriminatory practices towards employees of color), but what I AM a fan of is shirtless men. And since it’s been a long ass week and we could all use a little reward for our eyeballs, I’m reposting some pics from the shirtless army that accompanied the opening of the A&F flagship store in Singapore today. Aaa-oo-gahh!

My only gripe is: just five of the 40 models were local! Could use more Singaporean. And less open-toed sandals.
Whoops! Abercrotch.

Friday Fuckery: Forever 21′s Oriental/Native Girl Joorees
Posted in Appropriation, AUDACITY, Friday Fuckery, Hipster Racism with tags forever 21, Friday Fuckery, navajo, oriental girl on November 4, 2011 by CbruhsClothing giant Forever 21, owned by the Chang family (who BTW are devout Christians…check the John 3:16 printed on the bottom of each bag), is no stranger to controversy. They’ve been boycotted by factory workers for poor working conditions and back payroll, featured in the sweatshop documentary Made in L.A., and even sued by Gwen Stefani for ripping off her Harajuku Lovers designs (O, the irony!).
More recently, they’ve been called out for selling apparel that is sexist or plays on racial stereotypes and motifs, such as “Navajo” panties and bags (following suit with Urban Outfitters). Apparently, Forever has no intention of curbing this sort of merch, as Fashionista‘s Dhani Mau spotted Native American girl and “Oriental Girl” necklaces just this week. One woman has started a petition to remove the necklace — which is for serious called “Oriental Girl”– here).

A quick browse of the Forever 21 site turns up other similarly questionable items:
This makes me sad. Aside from the obvious reasons, Forever is like, one out of three places I ever shop. Get your shit together Forever, so I can buy my cheap poly-blend threads guilt-free!
Thanks Char Char!
Friday Fuckery: Brenda Song + Trace Cyrus Gettin Marrieds
Posted in Barf Me Out, Creeptastic, Friday Fuckery, Old white dudes with hawt young Asian chicks with tags brenda song, engaged, Friday Fuckery, status exchange, trace cyrus on October 14, 2011 by CbruhsToday’s Friday Fuckery is brought to you by the decision of these two to take the first step in the magical journey towards divorce: actress Brenda Song (Disney’s The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and the role of psycho Asian tramp in The Social Network) and Trace Cyrus (brother of Miley, “musician”, high school dropout, and exemplar of poor decision-making).
Again, there is just no excuse for that breastplate. Maybe if you're an extra in a "Dances With Wolves" remake. Still, though.
Seriously.
That is all.
Friday Fuckery: Oriental Demons!!
Posted in Creeptastic, Friday Fuckery, WTF?! with tags Friday Fuckery, oriental demons, pokemon on October 7, 2011 by CbruhsAt first I thought this video clip on “Oriental demons” was about Michelle Malkin, but it turns out these god-fearin folks are talking about none other than those much-beloved Pokémons!
Y’know, sometimes I too have been accused of turning into an “Oriental demon” after a few shots of whateversinfrontofme, and am also easily led into fighting random street animals. I hope the Club36 Watchmen don’t come after my candy ass! Blame it on the Goose, blame it on Henny!
p.s. – WHERE do you get 100 ravens?
thanks Loubs!
Friday Fuckery: Judge Upholds Alabama’s Extreme Anti-Immigrant Law
Posted in Bitch please!, Friday Fuckery, fucktards, white ppl booshit with tags alabama, DOJ, Friday Fuckery, HB56, immigration, Judge Blackburn, SB1070, undocumented immigrants on September 30, 2011 by Cbruhs
photo: Robert Sutton/APOn Wednesday, federal judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn issued an opinion striking down parts of Alabama’s newly-enacted anti-immigrant law HB 56, which has been dubbed “SB 1070 on steroids”. The opinion blocked several of the law’s provisions, including one that would have made it a crime for undocumented immigrants to work, a provision that would have made it illegal to house or give a ride to an undocumented immigrant, and a provision that would have prevented lawfully present refugees and asylees as well as undocumented students from enrolling in universities.
Judge BlackburnHowever, Blackburn’s ruling rejected the Department of Justice’s challenge to other pieces of HB 56, by upholding a provision of the law requiring K-12 public schools to determine and track the immigration status of public school students, and to report the number of undocumented students in their district to the state.
Blackburn also upheld a portion of the law that makes any business contract held by an undocumented immigrant un-enforceable, and makes it a felony offense for undocumented immigrants to apply for a business license, driver’s license, or license plates. And — this is huge — like Arizona, Alabama law enforcement officers will have the unprecedented power to act as immigration agents and question and detain anyone they “suspect” may be an undocumented immigrant (aka legalized racial profiling).
photo: Campus ProgressAdvocates have been fiercely protesting since HB56 was first proposed, and The DOJ filed an appeal to Blackburn’s ruling today. DOJ also requested an injunction to halt the enforcement of HB 56, both on the basis that immigration law is a federal matter that cannot be determined by states.
As it stands, HB 56 is even more harsh and radical than SB 1070, and could create a crisis worse than seen in Arizona last year. Reportedly, Latino and immigrant families are already packing up and leaving the state, which is not only devastating for communities, but bad for business as well.
HB 56 is outright intimidation and harassment against immigrant families and people of color — against educating their children, contributing to the local economy, or even driving and traveling without fear of detention. HB 56 could also encourage even more copycat laws from anti-immigrant politicians trying to get votes, as well as normalizes racial profiling and furthers a culture of hate against immigrants. This is Fuckery and Foolery of the highest order. Is that what we want America to stand for?

Friday Fuckery: Southeast Asian Cuisine by Chipotle
Posted in Appropriation, AUDACITY, For Your Consideration, Friday Fuckery with tags chipotle, Friday Fuckery, ShopHouse, southeast asian cuisine on September 16, 2011 by Cbruhs

Chipotle, the national burrito chain seen across the street from every frickin’ college campus, is expanding its model into Southeast Asian food. Its new venture (with the first location in DC) is called ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen. And like its father company, ShopHouse will feature quick, viewable, assembly-line preparation.
Jamie R. Liu/DCist
From a DCist review:
Diners can choose between two entree styles: bowls ($6.59-7.50) and banh mi ($6.14-7.05). The protein selections include grilled chicken satay, pork and chicken meatballs, grilled steak or organic tofu. For those who select bowls, this is nestled atop your choice of jasmine rice, brown rice or rice noodles. This is then accompanied by a vegetable, sauce, garnish and topping. The banh mi in its baguette is topped with green papaya slaw, mint and crushed peanuts. You can then drink up on BeerLao, Singha, Chang, and Dogfish Head 60 Minute or the usual selection of granola-y ginger ales, iced tea or young coconut water.
Jamie R. Liu/DCist
Looks like another establishment is trying to hop on the banh mi bandwagon ($7 bucks?! Seriously? Even the banh mi at Michael Bao Huynh’s fancy-schmanse NY-based Baoguette are $5 to $8).
And maybe I’m being a total snob, but I never got into Chipotle and its cafeteria-like, causal-cum-healthy dining approach. I know it uses “naturally-raised meats” and shit, but I’d rather just go to a local taco truck or family Mexican joint (or shit, even Taco Bell if my system demands fast food). Likewise, I think I’d rather support a better, cheaper (and Asian-owned) Viet deli or restaurant than a company that reminds me of Subway.
Friday Fuckery: Ghosts with Shit Jobs
Posted in Appropriation, AUDACITY, Blame China!, Friday Fuckery, Hipster Racism with tags blame china, economy, Friday Fuckery, ghosts with shit jobs, no media kings on September 2, 2011 by CbruhsI recently saw this video “Ghosts with Shit Jobs” made by a group called No Media Kings — and although this “peek into the future” is an interesting concept, the more I think about it, the more underhandedly racist it seems.
Yes, maybe the bankruptcy and economic submission of the US is a real possibility in the near future, and we will no longer occupy the role of world superpower that we take for granted. But this video appears to place the blame for this dystopia squarely on “The East” – aka China.
In typical ethnocentric fashion, the video focuses on a scapegoat for America’s financial woes, instead of looking inward. What about the years of criminal conduct and deregulation of Wall Street that culminated in an economic shitstorm, and the subsequent government bail-out of Big Banks? The regressive fiscal policies that fail to tax the super-wealthy (they can’t be expected to pay tax on their corporate jets! That’s infringement on their RIGHT to be filthy rich!) while slashing education and social services and suffocating the working and middle class. Or the $$$ pumped into “wars on terror” in the Middle East ($1.2 trillion and counting) that seem to have no end in sight?
But it’s so much easier to point the finger at cold, ruthless CHINA — never mind that their economic growth is largely due to supplying the demands of US consumers (and Chinese factory workers have been too often exploited by US companies, such as Apple).
And when an economic recession hits, it’s largely people of color and immigrants who are the most vulnerable and most impacted — by foreclosure, unemployment, cuts to services, and all the problems that come along with the widening wealth gap between whites and everyone else. Where are all the brown folks in this video? None to be seen. Only hipster/yuppie types. The only non-whites portrayed are the distant, icy Chinese who are somehow responsible for the deplorable conditions of White Americans.
And guess what — people of color and immigrants have disproportionately had to do (as they have done ever since the beginning of US history) “shit jobs”…but somehow it’s a tragedy when “ghosts” have to do them?
Nice try guys, but I’m not buying this white-centric, Team USA fuckery.
Thanks Cynthia Liu!
