... wow. :(

[silvereriena]

Whoops.

[kallanda_lee]

Your brain is a very strange place, isn't it?

[(Anonymous)]

You should feel bad about yourself.

Very bad.

[(Anonymous)]

the fuck

[blitzwing]

You're an awful person. You should be ashamed.

[(Anonymous)]

Are you fucking serious?

I'm not going to dogpile you, OP

[(Anonymous)]

Because you know that didn't reflect well on you. Maybe this is a good opportunity to consume more media with Asian casts? That way, you could experience more of the physical diversity of an entire continent. I don't think you'd make that mistake again if you did.

Re: I'm not going to dogpile you, OP

Also not adding to the dogpile. Those are some pretty distinctive sunglasses, after all, and ones that are iconically associated with a particular person. You're already embarrassed by your error and you understand it was wrong, I'm not going to call you evil.

That said, let's recommend some Asian movies!

If you dig on kung fu, the recent Ip Man film with Donnie Yen (and its sequel) are fun as hell, and Donnie Yen is just generally the shit. The Raid: Redemption is also a ton of fun if you like, just, two hours of crazy-ass violence. And Ong Bak is a good place to start with the physical miracle that is Tony Jaa.

If you like romance, basically ANYTHING by Wong Kar-Wai. Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is also just a beautiful sad love story, for those of us who happen to be suckers for sad love stories.

If you like nutty pulp adventure, I'd recommend K-20: The Fiend With 20 Faces. It's like if the Shadow and Darkman had a kid and the kid got really into parkour.

If you dig horror, there's a world of J-horror and K-horror waiting to keep you up at night. Ju-On is one of the scariest things I've yet seen, and A Tale Of Two Sisters is AMAZINGLY eerie in a very quiet, slow-build way.

Finally, I'm not even sure how to categorize Clash of Empires. Historical/mythological/fantasy/action-adventure? It's freakin' crazy, and awesome as hell.

This is the best response, and good advice, OP.

Embarrassment is just your brain's way of telling you you can do better.

Re: I'm not going to dogpile you, OP

[(Anonymous)]

Movie/TV recs is an excellent idea!

The Joy Luck Club movie. The book is also good, but the movie has one of the largest Chinese casts for an American movie I've ever seen.

Anything by Akira Kurosawa, but especially Ikiru, Seven Samurai, Rashomon, The Hidden Fortress and Throne of Blood

Re: I'm not going to dogpile you, OP

[sachiko_san]

No, just no. I have no problem telling Asian people apart from one another, and that particular set of hair style, sunglasses and facial structure make me think Kim Jong Ill.

Re: I'm not going to dogpile you, OP

[(Anonymous)]

This is so stupid.

Yeah, they might make that mistake again. You know why? Because people sometimes look like other people.

I know there's that whole, "they all look the same" bullshit, but man, people make that kind of mistake with members of their own race. The truth is that, even though there is a lot of diversity between individuals, there's a lot of similarities as well, and sometimes enough things are similar (or strike someone as similar at first glance) that people fuck up. Telling someone that they can stop that by "watching more media with Asian casts" is disingenuous and honestly, I think it's more problematic than making a mistake.

[sachiko_san]

Well, her hairstyle isn't exactly helping things here.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I looked twice at the picture and thought yeah, I could see why someone would make that mistake with a quick glance.

What's with all the hate? Why is OP an awful person? IDGI man

[(Anonymous)]

Hooooollly shit, OP, you deleted it? Damn.

[(Anonymous)]

ITT: lots of white people getting mad for other races

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Hoo boy. So, what happened here was that I was scrolling quickly on tumblr and was shocked by what I thought I saw (my brain mostly registered the sunglasses and the shape of the hair, really not a lack of exposure to different races but thank you to supportive anons). Then I was relieved when I looked closer and read the caption. Then I laughed at myself and thought it was terrible and decided to make it a secret. When I saw it here today and some of the responses I felt really shitty so I asked case and imgur to delete it. I guess some people thought it wasn't that bad and I shouldn't have deleted it? That's okay, but I regret making it.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

People will take any opportunity to be righteous.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

It's okay, OP. People make mistakes and you get that it was embarrassing and something you'd rather not have done. If people still want to tear you to pieces after that... well, it's probably not the best use of their time, but whatever.

You'll do better in the future, and that's what matters.

Re: OP

[sachiko_san]

No, you're fine, it happens. People mistake Niel Patrick Harris as the guy who played Francis on Malcolm in the Middle and vice versa, but because they're white, I guess that's different. People mistake strangers for people they know or celebrities, it's no different here.

Jesus fuck

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes think Person A looks like Person B. It happens all the fucking time. We've all done it. There's all been at least one time in our lives when we've made an ass out of ourselves because we've seen someone we thought we knew, and then it just turned out to be someone who looked like them. It's normal.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, this got blown out of proportion in a big way.

I hate how much cross-racial faceblindness I have, but I also confuse people who are of my own ethnic background.

And I don't think that's even what OP meant. Sometimes person A looks like person B. A lot of comedy has come out of that.

what did this secret say
