read @RonanFarrow& #39;s catch and kill this past few days

and by, god, @nbc is an even more corrupt place than i ever imagined. no wonder they are the source of the most anti-Asian racism ever.

a thread.

just in the past few years, NBC& #39;s anti-Asian racism was well on display. the most egregious example was against @AndrewYang. in the first debate, they gave him less time than the other joke candidates, 37.5% of the average time of all candidates.

the networks also didn& #39;t cover him, left him out of graphics, etc. in light of farrow& #39;s reporting, and this list of CEOs who are on the board of @comcast, it& #39;s not surprising.

they even got his name wrong https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/09/10/john-yang-andrew-yang-jokes-nbc-and-msnbc-name-mix-up/2272208001/">https://www.usatoday.com/story/new...

'John Yang?' Andrew Yang pokes fun at MSNBC for flubbing his name in broadcast

"John Yang? That's a new one," Yang wrote on Twitter, sharing a screenshot from an MSNBC broadcast with a chyron referring to him as "John Yang."

then you have the @snl situation last year with shane gillis, an unfunny comedian who dealt in racial slurs and "edgelord" comedy. the very fact that a simple google search would& #39;ve verified that he was a disgusting piece of filth leads me to believe that SNL knew about this...

...and decided anti Asian racism was not significant enough to be an issue. they calculated poorly. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/16/arts/television/shane-gillis-snl.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/1...

Shane Gillis Dropped From ‘S.N.L.’ Cast Amid Criticism of Racist Slurs

A few days after Gillis was named to the cast, the show said that he would not stay on, and that it had been unaware of his offensive remarks.

but @nbc& #39;s racism doesn& #39;t stop there. their darling, tina fey, is one of the worst anti-Asian racists there is. in mean girls, she clearly plays on dragon lady and prostitute stereotypes of Asian women. ">https://youtu.be/bBxxLCqQn...

and surprise, surprise, the producer was lorne michaels, the producer of SNL.

(earlier in that clip you can see how they stereotype other minorities too.)

let& #39;s not forget the dong character in unbreakable kimmy schmidt. it was one of those "oh we& #39;re making a caricature out of a stereotype so it& #39;s not REALLY racist" attempts. but it just wasn& #39;t even funny or a good character. it was just an updated long duk dong.

not only that she made this ridiculous episode who& #39;s point was what, asians complaining about racism isn& #39;t a big deal?
fuck you, tina. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/gqm4g3/how-is-a-woman-of-color-supposed-to-feel-about-tina-fey">https://www.vice.com/en_us/art...

How Is a Woman of Color Supposed to Feel About Tina Fey?

Her career is an inspiration for pretty much any woman in show business, so it's extra frustrating that she keeps making shitty jokes about Asians.

even the beloved office had an anti-Asian racist by basically again, dragon lady and prostitute stereotypes: https://theoffice.fandom.com/wiki/The_Benihana_Trio">https://theoffice.fandom.com/wiki/The_...

now you have this @meganamram thing. a writer who has for YEARS dealt in slurs. what did she do when people pushed back? she doubled down and blocked anyone who& #39;d do so. and now she wants to give a weak ass apology and think it& #39;s all good?!

fuck you. oh and your emmy for megan show was pathetic karen trash. https://deadline.com/2020/06/the-good-place-producer-megan-amram-apologizes-racist-weets-1202962549/">https://deadline.com/2020/06/t...

‘The Good Place’ Producer Megan Amram Apologizes For Past Racist Tweets

Megan Amram, co-exec producer of NBC's The Good Place, has apologized for racist tweets she posted several years ago.

you ever wonder why jason mendoza was a boring one-dimensional character who had one note, just being dumb? probably because megan wrote for him, because asian americans are retarded, right?

lorne michaels is one of the big people at NBC who has fingerprints on a ton of this racist shit:

wayne& #39;s world (dragon lady again)
30 rock (tracy morgan character)
mean girls
SNL
norm mcdonald has a show (who defended gillis and his racism to the death)

if @RonanFarrow came across corrupt studio heads that tried to kill the weinstein story, how far of a stretch is it that @nbc has corrupt entertainment heads that are peddling racism because they know it will sell?
