Rapinoe Under Fire for “Asian” Tweet – IOTW Report

Rapinoe Under Fire for “Asian” Tweet

That Twitter diary is a bitch!

Breitbart:

Social justice warrior Megan Rapinoe has come under intense scrutiny following the disclosure of an old social media post in which she mocked Asians.

The tweet in question was posted over ten years ago. Rapinoe, a soccer star with the U.S. Women’s National Team,  posted a response to Natasha Kai, a USWNT Olympic gold medalist,  in which she wrote, “u look Asian with those closed eyes!”

The digging-up of old tweets to shame public figures has become a most disagreeable fixture of modern politics. However, it is a standard tactic used by the left. Rapinoe is a fast-rising star in liberal circles for her social justice activism, and it remains to be seen whether they will hold her to the same standard they seem to hold conservatives to in these circumstances.

Moreover, Rapinoe recently landed a major corporate deal by becoming one of the faces of Victoria’s Secret. In addition, to Victoria’s Secret, Rapinoe also has sponsorship deals with supposedly social justice-minded corporations such as Nike and others.

Former Trump White House Special Assistant Steve Cheung has already issued a call for Rapinoe’s corporate sponsors to hold her accountable for the tweet. more here

  1. Yes, I understand what is going on here but honestly this is not anti-Asian in the least bit. Maybe I’m missing the context the tweet was written. Kai is of Hawaiian, Chinese, Filipino and Caucasian heritage. So, yea, she “looks” Asian per her DNA. Rapinoe is loathsome and for her to be VS model is laughable but this is the best we have on her?

    “GOOOOOOOD MORNING PORTLAND!!!!!! Say Suzy, are you feelin’ kinda Thorny today?”

To get the ball rolling (nyuk, nyuk), the third caller during the next song who can tell us the first name of the Thorns’ team captain will win a free pair of tickets to the Thorns game on Thursday the 19th.”

    “We’re back! Don’t forget that Thursday, the 19th is KBOO Day at the Thorns! You can join Derek & Suzy, Portland’s craziest DJ’s, with two free – yep, I said FREE – tickets to the Thorns.

    “Yep! We’re back and remember Thursday the 19th is KBOO Day at the Thorns and we’ve still got 12 free tickets to give away! Be the first caller to tell us the name of the team – that’s all you have to do, just say the PORTLAND THORNS team name – and you will win four free tickets to the Thorns!”

    “OK, we’re back and don’t forget Thursday the 19th is KBOO Day at the PORTLAND Thorns and today we’re giving away 12 free tickets!

    “Great! You can pick up your tickets, parking passes and VIP lounge coupons for Thursday’s game at the…”
    “Tickets for what?”
    “Thursday’s Thorns game”
    “What’s a Thorns game?”
    “The Thorns are Portland’s premier women’s soccer team.”
    “Actually, uh, I have to work on Thursday, but I’ll be in on Friday to fix your toilet. Say, you givin’ away any Trailblazers tickets?”

    “OK, We’re back! Don’t forget, Thursday is KBOO Day at the Thorns and we still have 12 tickets to give away! The first caller who…..”

    Portland is a soccer kind of city. The city converted the old Triple-A baseball stadium to a soccer field.

    Liberals tout soccer because American sports are too American for them. They embrace foreign culture and turn their back on ours.
