      Nope. The bad faith interpretation of Jeong's writing by libertarians and conservatives is enabling something genuinely vile.https://twitter.com/MKupperman/status/1025960839419899905 …

      What do you see in this thread that's in "bad faith," exactly? Is everyone who criticizes Jeong and finds her tweets vile responsible for someone's racist garbage directed at her?

      The idea that she can't be a victim because she's Ivy League seems bad faith since anti-Asian racism (as illustrated by the Garrison cartoon) is a very real thing.

          Is trump a victim because he's the subject of humiliating cartoons?

          It's insipid and unfunny like everything else he draws, but someone is going to have to explain to me how Garrison's cartoon is racist.

          Um, equating an Asian person with a dog seems pretty classic racism (coupled with the super-exaggerated ethnic features -- compare a photo of Jeong to the cartoon)

          Many people are arguing that Jeong isn't meaningfully oppressed or doesn't face racism in the US. This cartoon is very racist. it's a good example that anti Asian racism exists. Claiming it doesn't exist is therefore untenable.

          Jeet, it's extremely obvious that @iamcuriousblue is not writing in bad faith due to one golden sentence of his where he says that he would trade his "WM privilege" for Jeong's position. If Jeong were a genuine victim, nobody would say this https://twitter.com/iamcuriousblue/status/1025911140184776704 …
