" Taking a page out of\u00A0The\u00A0New York Times, The\u00A0Washington Post just attempted a bizarro millennial-pandering\u00A0thinkpiece\u00A0&amp;quot;trend&amp;quot; &amp;quot;story.&amp;quot; This one is\u00A0about how Chinese body-shaming trends are conquering the Internet. Which is fine!\u00A0You guys are trying to be hip, I get it.\u00A0What isn&amp;#039;t fine is using an Instagram post\u00A0with a\u00A0Japanese\u00A0caption\u00A0as the lead image.\u00A0 The hazy arguments and\u00A0lazy reporting\u00A0of a piece entitled &amp;quot;The counterintuitive reason why Chinese body-shaming memes conquered the Web&amp;quot; notwithstanding, this treatment of Asians as interchangeable is unacceptable. (You also failed to interview any actual Chinese people, relying instead\u00A0on a white woman who &amp;quot;studies Chinese internet culture.&amp;quot; But that&amp;#039;s another rant for another day.) Look, this stuff sucks.\u00A0 The other night as I was walking to a CVS, some dudes hollered virtually every Asian greeting at me (the last one actually being Mandarin, my mother&amp;#039;s mother tongue). I would have expected as much of some overcompensatory bros, but not of a national, Pulitzer-winning newspaper.\u00A0 Yes, this may have been an accident. But that doesn&amp;#039;t make it okay, and it still hasn&amp;#039;t been fixed. We&amp;#039;ll update this post when it is. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
