not that that's the most objectionable one there or anything
that onion thing seems p racist in itself, in that it's basically "lol black names are stupid" framed by "lol white people wanna be fancy" and "lol asians wanna be white"
thank you for that breakdown, it was really difficult to discern

a lot of names on here are surprising, but no Dakota:http://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/top5names.html
e.g.:"2000 Emily Hannah Madison Ashley Sarah"

@tsadjatko Thanks for watching the video. I believe this is something turtlers should know about male turtles so that they don't think something is wrong with their turtle. Thanks for putting video on your site. There has been 79 viewings more since yesterday.bevyh1 3 days ago

Blame a generation of moms and dads who grew up watching too much HBO:
According to the Social Security Administration's statistics, from a practically non-existent girl's name before 1985, Madison rose to being the second most popular name, after Emily, given to female babies in 2001.[2] This phenomenal rise in popularity has been attributed to the 1984 movie Splash, where Daryl Hannah plays a mermaid who adopts the name "Madison" in her human form after seeing a street sign for Madison Avenue.[3] When she makes this selection, Tom Hanks's character initially protests: "But Madison isn't a name!"

I'm not saying the Onion's not trying, but the non-Madison / Dakota names on the left are just A/B/C.
― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 17 February 2012 11:19 (twelve years ago) link
Do we have confirmation on that Onion attribution? Seems too racist for them.

tbh I think sometimes they go full circle and parody racist perceptions by making racist observations
it's a troublesome look, but hey, the humor gun misfires sometimes

Found it, it was 1999, which is long enough ago to be somewhat comforting.

It's a good name for that, you'd really get some length out of the 'a' and 'o'.
― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 17 February 2012 14:59 (twelve years ago) link
but it's pronounced wacho-veeea

ime, to the people who this dog whistle attracts it doesn't matter if youre chinese or chinese-american
― 乒乓, Sunday, 11 November 2012 23:48 (eleven years ago) link
yeah I mean on no level can chinese-americans benefit from stereotyping but the core of this is an economic nationalism message that both parties use these days. but I think you can be something of a economic nationalist without being totally racist. like, keep the message and 'facts' and take out the dumb theme - is that still race baiting? idk.
― iatee, Sunday, 11 November 2012 23:55 (eleven years ago) link
i think an ad decrying jobs lost to england or even socialist france would have a somewhat different feel

I dont think this is possible fwiw when an easily identifiable racial minority is involved
― 乒乓, Monday, 12 November 2012 00:35 (eleven years ago) link
I guess what I'm trying to say is that although this is clearly racist in that it works off lol south park stereotypes, it's still mostly pushing the bigger narrative 'they're taking our jobs'. a narrative that does not benefit asian-americans either. but is not entirely untrue.
― iatee, Monday, 12 November 2012 00:52 (eleven years ago) link
not really concerned about the 'trueness' of this tbh
― 乒乓, Monday, 12 November 2012 01:00 (eleven years ago) link
well what I'm more saying is that yeah, 1000 people in cleveland got this or w/e, but the big picture issue is mitt romney (and barack obama) talking about taking our jerbs back from china in front of 80 million people
― iatee, Monday, 12 November 2012 01:02 (eleven years ago) link
what I'm saying is that there's p much no way to score political points on this topic w/o also tarring asian-americans who live in this country
and the rhetoric shouldn't be about demonizing china, it should be about criticizing the companies who decide to offshore in the first place.
― 乒乓, Monday, 12 November 2012 01:05 (eleven years ago) link
well it's complicated. like I don't think #1 is untrue but that also doesn't mean that chinese currency manipulation hasn't been a major factor in jobs going offshore
and if we start attacking companies who decide to offshore, we're still participating in economic nationalism and promoting a sort of 'made in america' culture.

okay but you wouldn't have splashover onto asian-americans, which is all I really care about tbqh
