the “Yu Dog” is a deep-fried, wonton-wrapped hot dog with teriyaki beef and seaweed salad. It was reportedly being served at the Captain Morgan Club in center field with chop sticks, a fortune cookie, and french fries fried in sesame oil on the side.

Weird racial thing, but I am inexplicably drawn to this food item.

would eat through the guilt

Really dreadful attempts at grease-infused novelty cuisine aren't racist, but they are kind of nauseating.

I think tying it explicitly to a player by name is racist.

sesame oil fries sounds revolting

aimless do you know who yu darvish is??

sesame oil is not good for deep-frying btw - low smoke point. hopefully they are just drizzling sesame oil onto the fries afterwards

I don't follow baseball at all, so no, I've never heard of Yu Darvish. Knowing this, I'd say you have to figure the recipe came out of the originator's deeply ignorant stereotyping of east Asians. Abysmal ignorance and revolting food do not make a pretty picture, no matter how many innocent good intentions may have been at work.

Unless, of course, someone spoke with Yu beforehand and he said, "Gosh, you know what I'd really love to eat??? A deep-fried, wonton-wrapped hot dog with teriyaki beef and seaweed salad! Yum! And I'd be honored if you created this and named it after me." <-- Very unlikely scenario.

if u think abt it, it's sort of racist against americans to calumnize their proud tradition of tokenistically syncretic food-trash

Like, lets say they actually got the foods from the fucking country he's from correct. Would that still be racist or just reductive?

Part of me thinks like if they made some pizza dog for an Italian player or a gyro dog for a Greek player, that would be kind of fun (and delicious).

it's actually kind of ironic cause the american fortune cookie may actually have had been inspired by a japanese pastry

idk man

At least Yu was born in Japan as opposed to Jeremy "fortune cookie ice cream" Lin who was born in CALIFORNIA

Everything I know about contemporary sports is about racism :(

Wow, give me a break. I was at the game and all the Asian people were having a ball. There was clearly nothing mean spirited going on with anything Japanese themed. I'm assuming you'd be offended if Josh Hamilton was playing for a Japanese team in Japan and the fans there wore cowboy hats and they sold hamburgers and french fries there? What's racist is instantly jumping to find anything that fits into YOUR stereotypes of other ethnicities. The girl with the "Love Yu Long Time" sign was Vietnamese for Pete's sake. Also, Tom Grieve has been around baseball longer than anyone. Google "chinker" or look it up on Wikipedia and you will see that it is an actual baseball term (A blooper; a dying quail; a bleeder.). What a waste of time.

fucking kill me

So out-of-touch am I with the ways of racists and meat-eaters that "round-eye" always strikes me as some kind of steak or something.

haaa yes

also iiinteresting in all this (i don't rly know what to make of it) is that the iranian part of darvish's background is like nowhere

I guess it's the fact that he's a japanese citizen and got famous playing in the japanese leagues?

I saw a store in Savage MN called Groceries of the Orient

I've listened to more rap music than any living human at Urban Outfitters and I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out what the fuck that even means

I know the shirt is just Racism Classic™ but personally my primary association btwn rap and "chicken" is cocaine refs

the guy whose idea it was to put "Lyrics (tight)"

how many grandchildren does he have

also what kind of rapper would brag about 16-bar verses smdh

16 is p standard I thought

"it even once helped me have a long conversation about hip-hop because the girl thought i didn't know anything that genre. proved her wrong."

As extinct as the Irish Elk. That's island fauna for you.

(We now resume our regularly scheduled racism.)

I've raised this once already, and if no one thinks it's worth pursuing this time, I'll give up on the idea, and harp on about it no longer. But I honestly don't see why the left couldn't justifiably claim a third National Review scalp - and a far more prominent one at that than the crank John Derbyshire ever was; this one being the key conservative advocate of a war against Islam, and the close pal of Rush Limbaugh - Andy McCarthy; and at the same time deal a devastating blow, given that the most 'distinguished' figure would be shockingly the third sacked for racist associationgs.

Would this not be a viable goal, purely on the basis of Andy McCarthy's 5 year's of friendly correspondence with Lawrence Auster who runs the virulently racist site View from the Right; correspondence which he frequently gave permission to be published on said site.

Previously I gave no examples of this correspondence. Here's one I found using google, but I know for sure there are many more:

And here's a brief selection of articles that have featured on View From the Right during that period:

pro-BNP article:

http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/013095.html

There are so many more where these came from, many far worse, I just couldn't be bothered dredging through the mud to find them. The above was the result of 5 mins googling. Am I foolishly optimistic for thinking Max (or others who read this site) could really make something of this?

btw, my personal interest in this is an attempt to continue the good work of this guy:

it's disgusting that anyone would publicly associate w auster/VftR, but the association itself doesn't seem like much of a smoking gun, imo. especially given that "andy mccarthy" is an unfamiliar name to most (shameful as that fact may be).

You may very well be right, but the second guy to be sacked from NRO David Weissberg, was let go for having given a speech at a (white nationalist) American Renaissance conference, even though the speech itself apparently - according to one account I read - didn't actually advocate white nationalism. Well View from the Right has on many occasions endorsed Jared Taylor/American Renaissance (most recently a Jared Taylor speech about the Trayvon Martin killing.) They've had their differences too on certain issues, key among them anti-semitism, given that Lawrence Auster is Jewish and so opposes that particular form of bigotry). But I'm not sure how Andy McCarthy's half decade long (and currently ongoing) association with a racist American Renaissance-supporting website could be judged as significantly less bad than a one-off speech at an American Renaissance conference that was deemed a sacking offense.
