Sorry I haven't been posting much lately, but I've been really busy with finals. Um, I mean playoffs! NBA playoffs! Definitely not law school finals. But, uh, hopefully we'll win our next few series and eventually reach the Finals like we did last year. Because this is Shaq Daddy posting. Not anyone else.
Anyway, I decided to finally start posting again because everyone's favorite Homosexual Jew, Spencer James, recently updated his blog after an eleven million year hiatus!!! Hooray!!! Just in time for the gayest month of the year, Gay, I mean May. HA HA y'all get that shit??? It rhymes! Just like March is the starchiest month, June is the looniest month, August is the doggest month, and February is the second gayest month. Rhyming is fun! I enjoy it!!!
So over at James Spencer's blog, he wrote a little bit about his thoughts on the whole Virginia Tech massacre. I really don't have anything to add except that I disagree with the point he makes about the irrelevance of Seung Hui-Cho's nationality. I think the fact that he's from South Korea bears mentioning because it definitely affected the aftermath of the massacre. You can tell that a lot of people wanted very badly to use this massacre as an excuse to hate on Koreans, but they couldn't quite commit to it. The pre-existing stereotypes about Koreans just aren't conducive to fostering a climate of reflexive fear-mongering. Dry cleaning, kimchi, good at math & violin, blah blahblah etc... there's not much grist for the paranoid race baiting mill. So hopefully now even the most reactionary xenophobe will step back and admit that ethnicity or citizenship status or religion or any of that superficial census data form shit can't always explain why people do the things they do.
Reading a lot of the crazier right-wing blogs, I noticed a palpable sense of disappointment that Cho wasn't North Korean. You just know that if Hee Seop Choi had been North Korean we would be bombing the shit out of Pyongyang right now. I mean, England and France were embroiled in war for one hundred years just because French paparazzi killed Princess Di. Luckily Joan of Arc punched out some cameraman at Orleans, or else we'd all be speaking English now.
But the best thing for the right-wingers would be if Cho had been Muslamic. Man, can you imagine how awesome that would have been??? Ah well, a man can dream...Hey wait "Korean" is awfully close to "Koran"!!! Is that too tenuous a link? Oh shit I hope Presnident George doesn't read my blog or else we liable to start bombing on that Iranic country. I say we shouldn't stereotype people based on their nation of origin because then shit like this happens. People think just because you're from Iran or Iraq or Pakistan you're a terrorist, when the truth is that the reason you're a terrorist is because you're Muslim. J/k folks, that's what we in the NBA call sarcasm. Chillax. But anyway, I ain't never seen no Eskimo blow shit up with a suicide dogsled bomb. And that's proof of something.
