I've never heard the "more modern version" about the Chinese waiter...(shudder).<br /><br />Hope you were able to see the photo...the link was not working for me yesterday. If not, you can still Google the picture (sad to say).JennyBHammondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07145326313538685909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492432392123099485.post-21672866675865623232012-03-13T16:43:00.605-04:002012-03-13T16:43:00.605-04:00One more helpful comment for your readers and that...One more helpful comment for your readers and that poor misinformed photographer.<br /><br />Miley Cyrus was photographed making the same gesture http://allieiswired.com/archives/2009/02/miley-cyrus-apologizes-for-racist-photokinda. She was subsequently lectured by OCA, a pan-Asian civil rights organization on how inappropriate and offensive that gesture was.<br /><br />http://www.ocanational.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=501&Itemid=94<br /><br />Despite the tongue lashing she received in the press (I must have been living under a rock and didn't hear it), her apology fell short, <br /><br />http://www.ocanational.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=508&Itemid=94<br /><br />I'm very disappointed I didn't bring this up to my own child earlier. Now that she has outgrown Hannah Montana, she will appreciate how some of her parents choices on what she can and cannot watch matter. <br /><br />For instance, the first episode of Disney's "Shake it Up" made that a banned program in our home. The opening episode featured the main characters hazing Asian American characters, saying they "all looked alike." I continually remind my daughter, if the writers couldn't remove racist dialogue from the first episode, they won't be sensitive in later episodes.<br /><br />Anne<br />Chinese For FamiliesAnnehttp://www.chineseforfamilies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492432392123099485.post-44948651919110845232012-03-13T15:33:39.902-04:002012-03-13T15:33:39.902-04:00Wow!

Really? <br /><br />I'm showing your blog entry to my child. She and her friends have experienced this exact form of teasing - the more modern version involves chanting about assaulting a Chinese waiter. Much worse than what I remember hearing as a child. <br /><br />As parents, especially those of us parenting across racial lines, we must inform ourselves of the shoes our children walk in and prepare them to navigate a world where racism is alive and well. I have shared it on my Facebook where I feature posts on civil rights, parenting Asian American children, and Chinese language learning. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />Anne <br />www.ChineseForFamilies.com<br />www.Facebook/ChineseforfamiliesAnnehttp://www.chineseforfamilies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492432392123099485.post-27516167134654521962012-03-07T11:01:50.829-05:002012-03-07T11:01:50.829-05:00From the photographer: We somewhat agree that this...From the photographer: We somewhat agree that this picture can seem so to some people and will request to have it removed. However, please remember that there are no such thing as a racist shot. It is our job to provide images of all possible situations, gimmicks, expressions and sayings (including this one).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492432392123099485.post-66941634799432456142012-03-06T18:11:10.377-05:002012-03-06T18:11:10.377-05:00Thanks, Anonymous.
