The craziest thing is Bratz got sued out of business by Mattel for the designer having used rejected Barbie designs apparently, or something along those lines.

I'm reminded of when they were teasing a new older Dora the Explorer design and a ton of moms were angry and worried they were doing to slut her up, and all things considered I couldn't blame them.

I thought this was just random inane poo poo until the article got to the part where the ambassador has a Japanese mother, then I was like "Oh, right, garden variety racism."

Korea being a former Japanese colony makes anti-Japanese sentiment sort of understandable. Like Irish people not caring for the English, Filipinos disliking Spaniards and/or Americans, or Algerians distrusting the French.

I imagine if the American ambassador to the Democratic Republic of the Congo was half Belgian and had a beard like King Leopold some people would be irked.

Is it xenophobic? Yes, but it's based on historical grievances rather than race.

A lot of Asia really hates Japan for the war crimes spree in WW2 but Japan had been conquering Korea and brutally suppressing its culture and language a lot longer than that. There's a lot of Korean descended people in Japan who still aren't considered Japanese citizens, iirc.

This kind of sentiment is prevalent in Europe too. I only have personal experience with being a Finn, but here on public TV we literally show a film about fighting against a Russian invasion on independence day.

We have a conscription army, and everyone knows you are training to fight in case Russia invades again.

This probably sounds more extreme than it actually is, but all are just statements of fact. Finns also like selling things to Russia and being on Putin's good side.

My grandma literally referred to Taiwan and Korea as The Colonies until the day she died. I had to unlearn a lot of negative stereotypes about basically all Asians and the wrong kind of Japanese as a result

They all saw this pic of Isabela as Dora for halloween. Fortunately the studio reigned that it, but these reviewers still creepin'. The comments from the other reviewer about Hermione are insane, like, why would you even think that, let alone put it in print for the world to see.

"Something witty."
Lucky Air passenger who threw ‘good luck’ coins at plane ordered to pay airline US$17,200


quote:

A 28-year-old man in southeast China was ordered to pay 120,000 yuan (US$17,200) in damages to budget carrier Lucky Air for throwing coins at a plane in the hope of a safe journey last year.

Lu Chao, who was a first-time flier, admitted throwing the coins at the plane for luck as he boarded on February 17. The flight – from Anqing to Kunming, Yunnan province – was cancelled after airline staff found two 1 yuan coins on the ground near one of the plane’s engines. All passengers had to leave the plane and it was grounded while it underwent safety checks. Lu, meanwhile, was taken away by Anqing police and detained for 10 days on charges of disturbing public order.

Lucky Air filed a civil lawsuit against Lu in May, demanding compensation for its losses. Lu, who was represented by his brother in court, argued that the airline’s maintenance costs were too high and that Lucky Air should have made a public announcement before boarding to remind passengers that they should not throw coins at planes.

There have been a number of similar incidents at airports in China in recent years, and it was the second known court case involving a “lucky coin toss” passenger.

In defense of the article, there will always be outliers, especially around major cities. Regardless, in light of yesterday's events in the Middle East, the article already appears to be incredibly dated.
