Okay, so there's some Asians in figure skating. And probably one or two in Iowa, too. But my point stands. (lemmynsfw.com)

thank you for this comment it changed my perspective slightly, genuinely. :)

i just don’t know. the post still seems to have an excessive hate boner for the artistry of these inspirational Black American performers, what with the “easier to enjoy drunk” and all. im trying to put myself in the shoes of a young POC performer being absolutely incredible and thriving against the odds in this white dominated space in 2024, and if i saw my contribution to the world being compared to airplane food? i would have to guess i’d be pissed.

this meme is insulting in a way that #oscarssowhite is not. i can see why my take on it is controversial and i definitely have nothing against OP. anyway thanks again.
