Okay, I don't know what "rice queen" means, but it sounds racist. Have a care, eh?
From Wiki:
A rice queen is a person, usually a white male, who prefers or exclusively dates Asian, particularly East- and Southeast-Asian males. The term is considered gay slang and depending on the context, may be considered derogatory and offensive internationally.The term "rice king" is used to describe heterosexual males who seek Asian women. The term is also often used to describe individuals in contrast to "sticky rice" (Asian males who prefer other Asian males), "potato queens" (Asian men who prefer Caucasian men), "bean queens" (men who prefer Hispanic men), and "refried beans" (Hispanic and Latino men who prefer other Hispanic and Latino men).
Surely there must be at least ONE alt-weekly somewhere out there that doesn't run your column . . . I'm just having a hard time thinking of one.
Surely you of all people understand the concept of the combative newspaper dude who likes to stir shit up.
Murdoch and the Post don't give a shit if they step on anybody's toes, including their own staff. They're trying to sell newspapers. If they PROMISED to out a different secret kinkster every day, their circulation would soar, and they'd be happy as pigs in shit. It's what they do.
I do. That's why I'm stirring back, Fnarf...
@2: So because it is a racist term, and you posted the Wikipedia link to prove it, that makes it okay then?
I meant to bold this part, Greg:
"The term is considered gay slang and depending on the context, may be considered derogatory..."
I don't think, in this context, that it's derogatory.
So you take issue with Nick Denton and Gawker, yes?
Oops, sorry--no, you don't.
HIPAA.
you forgot troll-like in your list of Murdoch attributes...
I think only ultra PC Asians get too bent out of shape about "rice queen". I've had Asian friends use the term themselves, as well as "taxi cab" applied to slutty, Asian women...
There's some pretty skanky derogatory terms in the world. I'm not sure that "rice queen" ranks very high.
You're trying to increase circulation for the Post? Why?
So those of us in human collars, as opposed to ones made for dogs, are okay in the Post's eyes?
They will name anyone in a dog collar?
Why do they hate Red Bushies so?
(no, I'm not actually joking ...)
yeah I am sure that printing his name would protect him. And that the moon is made of cheese, and the president has a brain. God what a crock. Dan, I agree with you. For what thats worth
So because he has an Asian partner, that makes him a "rice queen" and therefore kinky? Because a white guy can't be with an Asian and not have a fetish? And you don't see how that is inherently racist and derogatory?
Uhh... no twee, its also because she looks about 30 years younger than him. And please read the offending sentence again: "POSSIBLE rice queen"
Anyway, surely they married because of his charming personality!
Looks like an ad for ED medicine. The Post and Rupe have no class. Unless you're bucking for a job with NewsCorp, you just accept that it's par for the course with them. It's just some cheap Aussie crap aimed at discrediting a Canadian (and given that no Canadian supports what gives Rupe a boner, there's an another axe that the Post can grind for its benevolent master).
The hypocrisy knows no bounds at the Post. Next week, they'll be running editorials urging the candidates not to use the war in Iraq to get themselves elected. It's a rag, just accept it and move on.
Shut the fuck up Greg.
What's wrong with Rupert Murdoch's face? It looks like his chin is trying to escape to the right while his head goes the other direction.
Rice queen is derogatory. Please, from now on, refer to white men that love Asian women as "Gook fuckers."
Carry on.
@19: Just as soon as I'm done with your mom.
