Hey I have a question. It’s 2024, you know who is gonna start up with the Kung Flu talk again. That shit had serious consequences and I know bc my nieces had to deal with racist bs the last time at ages 6 & 4. Their mom is from Taiwan. So why does this show continue to play music with that mid century Ching Chong Ching racist mockery? I’ve always been curious about it. Besides being cringe af, it’s also damn offensive.

Songs about Tarzan don’t have real world results, unlike the ones I mentioned previously. Attacks on Asian Americans continued during Cheeto’s presidency. And will definitely proceed during this next administration. But keep playing those songs, right? It’s just a song…these mf’ers out here telling on themselves. Got it, thanks for self identifying.
