The Cut

To be honest, I checked my friends and classmates’ website recently such as qirou yang, Sophia oppel and wang zi. I found nothing but racist content on the websites with their videos being pulled from the hosting website forming several black screen saying sorry. It was really aggressive in terms of how they presented themselves. It’s as if they thought being attractive is better than being progressive. How will these types of people stop for a second and consider the good of humanity? Is it because they are working in the universities that automatically granted them these types of views and attitudes? Are universities bad news, dehumanizing place to work? I remembered reading about a PhD killing babies on the cut in the past. It was shocking. I remembered how I was repulsed by her and found it ultimately a racist move in the world of entertainment to grant her the title of a killer. It’s clear people think she is so complex that she deserved sympathy. What a world are we living in? Etc.
