side. How could you use racist stereotyping? If what you say in the
past is true, what you say in the unguarded is true – then I guess you
are a racist
RO: come on hirou gotta be kidding

“Fat people around the world heard it. They probably said, ‘Gobble
gobble, munch munch, DeVito, drunk, munch view, gobble.’ Would it
offend you?
RO: well / it would offend me / as it makes no sense / but the joke
was about / the absurdity / of danny devito drunk on the view / being
INTERNATIONAL NEWS / then the offensive ching chong / and
we’re off 2 the races

Going “ching chong” is exactly how people degraded and mocked my
family all our lives. It’s distasteful and it hurts me that it comes from
you.
RO: i am sorry it hurt u poly / all the people who made fun of u / in a
negative way / for being who u r / my bad accent was not meant to
insult or degrade / linguistic incompetence – guilty / mocking – never

joke but the reason people are is because you weren’t doing an accent.
you weren’t speaking actual chinese, just mocking their speech.
RO: i wasn’t mocking / that’s my best impression / accents r tough /
on the whole
