That was an epic interview. Never forget that Asian hate comes from democrats who attack Asians every day in city streets and school boards. Lee - would love to have you in our rooftop Asians signal group chat, Mishima is a legend. https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-stop-asian-hate
Yes I did! Some kind of Hong Kong rap right? I thought my phone was blending media feeds from somewhere else. I kinda want to hear it again now to figure out what it was.
Never apologise, especially to those with shit setups or the humourless. Personally, my only complaint is that I had to keep scrolling back up to hit replay! I wanted the full version on loop, had to settle for humming it to myself ehile reading.
Chinese father, white mom: immunized against NOWAG from birth. I've noticed over the years that there's a huge difference between the offspring of AMWF and WMAF pairings, the former tend to be much less resentful for some reason.
The Melting Pot is evolving super-fast. Forecasting the psychometric results of the current blends is perhaps impossible but one can't help but wonder since so much is at stake. The Turbo American take on mestizaje is forming just as genomics and HBD come into their own and as the fungibility of the individual becomes integral to economic and political life. I wonder how long the current suppression of reporting/observing/investigating any of this will last.
It goes both ways, there’s this Hapa dude with a blog who basically rants about how AMWF pairings are the worst thing in the world and documents all sorts of criminals and abusers that are either Asians with white women or hapa children of those pairings, pretty much to the exclusion of WMAF combinations for some reason. I think by and large though it is the stability of the father in a mixed race pairing that determines whether a child is resentful or not. In a lot of AMWF couples the Asian man makes more money, has a better job etc. and is able to lead his family while in WMAF couples children are sometimes torn by the whiteness of their surroundings and the people they know while their Asian mother acculturates them to her culture and the white father doesn’t if that makes any sense. The lack of stability is also seen in the children of BMWF couples for obvious reasons, but not as much in those of WMBF couples because black women who marry white men more readily acculturate to “white culture.”
A key question remains: how exactly does a young man on the ethnic margins trained in martial arts navigate the every-day urban environment? The increasing frequency of violence against whites and Asians in so many of the major US cities must be relevant to Lee Fang.
I could not help but wonder if Lee Fang felt closer to Travis Bickle than to Django (of movie fame) or not.
The only cultural thing out of DC i know of is Go Go music. Most famous artists are Chuck Brown ("I feel like bustin loose" was the sample for Nelly's "Hot in Herre") and EU ("Da Butt") but i like the chorus to Body and Soul's "Dance to the Drummer's Beat". Body and Soul is best known because one if its members, Dee Barnes, got her ass kicked badly by the members of NWA.
I agree that Occupy became a cesspool for grifting opportunists. Probably like the commercials of hippies back in the 70’s where they gathered on an Italian hilltop and sang “I’d like to buy the world a Coke” while yenning for peace among all cultures and creeds. Just enjoy capitalism and drink pop, not propaganda right?
But I think today’s prominent grift arose in identity politics as something more akin to the ‘Willie Lynch Letter’ on which he describes how to most profitably manage one’s slaves. It strikes me as the same thing. Give preference to one particular identity and point out who’s at the top and bottom of the pecking order.
We’re now so “preoccupied” with pecking each other that the plantation runs smoothly as ever with maximum profits. I do believe it’s run its course tho. I guess I’m just an optimist at heart. No need to buy anyone a Coke while buying my own still feels good ✌️
Fake Chinese tattoos, too.

More interviews on the way!
love your crossover episodes
Lee Fang...wasn’t he the Asian guy in The Breakfast Club?
Wasn't he the kind soul who rescued White Fang from a life of wild abandon?

Anyone else get some ridiculous song playing during this interview?
Yes I did! Some kind of Hong Kong rap right? I thought my phone was blending media feeds from somewhere else. I kinda want to hear it again now to figure out what it was.
I think that some people have autoplay enabled on their devices. Apologies, this was my first attempt at embedding video.
I heard nada

Yes that's the mechanism precisely, I'm guessing.

Where's Hasan when you need him.
Guess Zhora had a sister and they were headed Off-World.
As long as the lure of money for malicious hate stirring is a business and lever of power Philip we shall have race.
I don’t get any of those acronyms

Excellent get Niccolo
Great interview!
On a D.C. tangent; ever listen to Bad Brains?
oh man! saw em at the 930 in maybe 87/88....best show ever! i think HR was chained to a chair, but not sure if for his safety or ours ;)
This piece totally confused me. Is it all satire? It's a very strange format and a waste of my time.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Mike!

A gun
Cussing was not necessary.
Sorry Sister Sonja! I am currently kneeling down on corn kernels in the corner of my room, doing penance as any good Catholic boy should.
Q: I like upur style dude but do you have to use so many cuss words?
A: what the fuck are talking about.

Trouble Funk! Drop da bomb!
i love Go Go because there are no song breaks...beat never stops all night!
Is the Yukio Mishima factoid real? lol
Why would you doubt it? It is the most realistic factoid in the story.

There's a parody of that commercial featuring the Koch brothers, but I can't find it.
Now that's what I call an interview!
I can’t tell if that was an interview or fever dream.
Perfection.
