I would agree with you on Asians being chill, but your friends group needs to add in more about assimilation and putting a stop to their rampant illegal immigration issues before they ask for sympathy.

Look at all the links at the bottom of the page. Kiwis have no sense of humor

Seems to me that people deem chopsticks as derogatory to Asians, and so the use of chopsticks in an ad is considered racist. How is this derogatory, demeaning, or racist? Unless of course you think Asian culture itself is demeaning. People are truly losing all grip on reality.

I guess Kiwis depicted eating with Forks should be racist in Vietnam?

The word racism has been rendered useless.

This is just another example of some white guilted lady with purple hair trying to speak for people she knows nothing about.



The article implied that the uproar came from Asian-New Zealanders (or at least the one they quoted).

That's the problem with Twitter. Like 6 people get pissed off and scream loudly, so people think it's some huge wave. Meanwhile the other eleventy billion of us don't care but just don't say anything.

The group is Asian Americans, people legally in this country. The fact that other Asians may overstay their Visas is not their responsibility any more than the white racist groups are mine.

They are asking for consideration based solely on merit, are you somehow opposed to that?

The ad promoting the brand's new 'Tastes of the World' burger range also featured a customer eating an American-themed burger with Rocky-style stars and stripes boxing gloves, and another eating the Japanese 'tonkatsu' burger with robotic hands.

I’d eat it.

How many are anchor babies of "visa overstays," and people who cane over visa-less in ocean cntrs??

I got no sympathy for their tears like they wouldnt shed a tears giving you any sympathy. They took advantage of original affirmative action/anti-white racial laws, and now they are complaining about them being used against them when they are the majority in something.

I just don't get it.

They do use chopsticks to eat in Vietnam do they not?

How many of you would get offended if there was a Vietnamese commercial depicting Americans eating noodles, or a burger, or anything at all, with a fork and knife?

frick this SJW world.

Kill rebeloke and OweO. Gnome is by far the best in that shitty group.

They only use Asians when it's convenient. Do not bring them up in relation to affirmative action, small business, or the family unit...
