@GraceSaysCrap @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist I don’t know why I care, I *know* her name isn’t Ching Chong. My point is it may as well be, Cho Chang is *just* as derivative. Just like the only South Asian characters *had* to be called Pavarti and Padma. Just Btw, I literally voted in the Scottish independence referendum.

@Sebbo1793 @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist It’s legit not my fault at all that you don’t know anything about her character, cause if you did you’d know she also isn’t British she’s Scottish. Again. You’re blatantly ignorant. And like I said ik Rowling racist, but so are you by calling Cho, Ching Chong.

@WindowsKevin @HamburglarCuz @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist It’s not my fault you don’t know how to write about someone’s ethnicity without saying “she has slanty eyes and her names cho Chang”. Seems to me you’re the one having a *fanny fit*, which is also a sexist term btw pal

@Sebbo1793 @HamburglarCuz @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist Because it's a novel, there's no other way of signifying that she's Asian without describing her features, which would likely cause people such as yourself to *also* have a fanny fit.

@GraceSaysCrap @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist I actually can’t believe I’m explaining myself to someone who can’t tell the difference between a critique of casual racism in literature to actual racism. Far out. Your handle says it all

@Sebbo1793 @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist And if you paid attention to your own sentence you’d know that her name isn’t Ching Chong. I never said that Rowling isn’t racist, I’m saying you are as well for assuming her name is Ching Chong which is also blatantly racist.

@GraceSaysCrap @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist I know her name isn’t Ching Chong 🙄 but it may as well be. Rowling used an amalgamation of 2 different Asian last names to create one homogenous character to represent all British Asian magic folk. She’s used solely for the purpose of character progression and never seen again

@Oyoyu1 @solidarnytsa @dieworkwear @tobyontour Yes, I agree, yet I never learn somehow. Doh

@Sebbo1793 @solidarnytsa @dieworkwear @tobyontour This is what tone markers are for.

Once a suit jacket has lost its original pair of pants—either because they've been worn through, stained, ripped, or otherwise made unwearable—there's nothing you can do. This is why tailors always recommend getting two pairs of trousers for each jacket, as once the trousers are gone, the jacket is likely useless. You can't find another pair of pants because making fabric is part art and part science. Even if the mill produced the same cloth—same spec, same weave, same color, etc—there will always be subtle variation. This small variation means your jacket will never match your pants exactly. The only way a suit jacket can be worn without its original pair of pants is if it convincingly passes for a sport coat. I've written a few threads on the difference between a suit jacket and sport coat, and will not rehash it here. If you have a brown corduroy suit and the pants can no longer be worn, then the jacket can easily be worn as a corduroy sport coat. If you have a navy worsted wool suit jacket that has lost its accompanying pants, then there's nothing that can be done.

@WindowsKevin @HamburglarCuz @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist Why can’t asians be called Jessica? Why do they all have to have Asian names?

@Sebbo1793 @HamburglarCuz @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist What's the problem with giving her an Asian name? If she's Jessica then people would've assumed she was white if no description was given, the name indicates she isn't.

@WindowsKevin @KeransHQ @HamburglarCuz @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist Using two different last names from two different Asian cultures to create one homogenous character to represent the entire population of British Asian magic folk? Hmmm 🧐

@KeransHQ @Sebbo1793 @HamburglarCuz @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist But what makes them racist?

@cybrshrike @dieworkwear @tobyontour Tone is very hard to convey via text isn’t it! but I’m assuming at least some of the people who liked my comment, got a giggle out of it

@Sebbo1793 @dieworkwear @tobyontour No criticism here but your tweet didn’t read like a joke to me either (so +1 on the more obvious option)

@WindowsKevin @HamburglarCuz @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist Why does it matter to the story that she’s Asian?

@Sebbo1793 @HamburglarCuz @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist And describing an Asian person would likely also be considered racist by people like you, so she'd have to just outright state "oh, so she's Asian" which is even dumber.

@tuomas266 @dieworkwear @tobyontour Fella, it was sarcasm, maybe I should have built a sign for you

@Sebbo1793 @dieworkwear @tobyontour Fella in the top left is a union electrician, haven't you been reading what is said at all

@CercaSparkles @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist “Plump”

@Sebbo1793 @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist "Portly"

@DevInTheLab Basketball has a capitalism issue. It’s the same issue English football is having. Real fans are being priced out of the game and pushed onto television. The audience left are corporate visitors, the uber wealthy and tourists (who are paying through the nose)

Does American Basketball have a Culture Issue?

@dieworkwear @tobyontour My comment was meant as a joke, maybe I should have been more aggressively obvious with my sarcasm. I personally love corduroy and find this academic style to be very refreshing, especially in modern fashion. Bring back the casual suit I say.

@Sebbo1793 @tobyontour I don't particularly care if someone thinks it looks overly academic. I was only responding to what I thought was a loaded statement, suggesting that it looks bad. Looks good to me. If others think it's very academic, that's also fine with me.

@dieworkwear @tobyontour All I see are 4 pictures of University professors? One admittedly looks a bit like Mick Jagger, but he’s definitely on his way to a faculty meeting

@tobyontour looks great to me

@HamburglarCuz @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist Because that’s soooo different from Ching Chong? The point I’m making, is JK Rowling was lazy to the point of racism with her one Asian character, by naming her Cho Chang. Why does she have to signal that she’s Asian with her name? Why can’t she be Jessica or Lisa?

@Sebbo1793 @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist Cho Chang is an actual name though.

@GraceSaysCrap @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist If you look at the sentence Grace, it is a critique on Rowlings choice to give her only Asian character (the patil sisters are south Asian) a name that wasn’t stereotypical and racist. And therefore it is entirely plausible that she would have a fat character and call them blimp

@Sebbo1793 @JoeSchembrie @themiasandrist It’s Cho Chang. Not Ching Chong you racist
