No, no, I guess you're right, the complicated history of anti-blackness in America means a white man should be able to get some goddamn answers to deeply invasive, objectifying, and immaterial questions about Asian women, gosh-darnit

Also definitely not at all problematic how you, a multiracial man, purport to literally speak in the place of Japanese women

But you have grandparents who were interned, so you can't possibly be saying problematic things here, nope

literally equating someone making a point about racial politics with the ruling class pretty much says everything

sorry about all the social justice warriors ruining internet discourse

Ahhh yeah, my ancestral family home was destroyed by American bombs during the war. My family is cut off from another part of the family because of American foreign policy-- and of course those family members are generally considered to be enemies of the US. But I'm a nice, safe, clean, polite model minority, right?

I think this is a great point, and says something really devastating about how the project to understand race has become a specialization relegated to small bubbles, instead of something that everyone strives to engage in.

Hey Phire, Sarah here! I only really got into cosmetics in the last few years, and it wouldn't have happened without discovering this one Korean-American beauty guru. Getting the routine of this tutorial down pat demystified a lot of things for me: http://www.frmheadtotoe.com/2012/11/makeup-for-gl... (and it's for people with glasses!). Not sure if you ever want to give it another try (believe me, I feel your frustration!), but starting with instructions designed for monolids made all the difference for me.
