yeah, so where's the internet shaming justice for that guy, or anyone else who says something but it doesn't happen to be filmed? what kinds of acts deserve this kind of publicity and which ones are better dealt with minus all the social media fanfare?
that's the main problem I have with the whole situation, is that there's people saying "omg I can't believe racism like this still exists in my hometown, it's the year 2013!"...the reality is that racism (and sexism and every other kind of -ism) is still widespread and rampant, but we're just better at not saying things out loud or acting on it like they were 50 years ago. does this ignorant dog woman yell "hey squint eyes, get back on your junk ship and sail home" at every Asian passerby? or did she just reveal her racism because she was being confronted and got pissed off?
if we want to arrest people for what's going on in their heads, we better make prisons big enough to fit like half the general population. this dog woman annoys me, but people like her just aren't worth the effort. oh and unless the videotaper at least tried calling bylaw services before going on this anonymous crusade, he's a big dumbass too. makes the rest of us Asians look like tattletale pansies.
