Oh man, I thought I had enough to say above, but I don't. It's like, HOW GREAT IS IT FOR YOU THAT YOU THAT THIS HAPPENS TO PEOPLE OF YOUR RACE ALL THE TIME? How great is it that you can feel condescending towards people who have decided to idolize an Asian American athlete for being accomplished on and off the court. I'm glad you didn't write this shit over Tebow, whose popularity was more about how Jesus helped him win games more than his actual skill at playing football! And just happens to be a white dude!

I feel like Jesse Eisenberg's one of those white dudes who thinks he's enlightened because he has the most rudimentary understanding of privilege, and he therefore feels capable of writing nuanced opinions on race when really he only has the shallowest understanding of racism and how it manifests.
