  1. 👏👏👏 love food too!

  2. Just burn history books and erase all cultural stereotypes. As a black guy I’m all for that!

  3. Pigeonholed? I usually see white dancers performing the tea. Many Asians are often sugarplum, or Clara. Quite whining.

  4. I always liked the tea dance, a work of art performed by east asians. over offended mfers
