Controversy over ad shows picture of AOC burning

How could the ad be racist?
AOC is as white as I am.
And does being Vietnamese mean one cannot be racist?

I heard Andrew Yang on NPR the other day say that it
would be "a little bit racist" to call him socialist. Really.
Is "socialism" a race....or does he believe that socialism
is associated with being Asian? Tell that to Marx & Stalin.

Btw, if anyone disagrees with me.....you're RACIST!
I agree with you. But I am white, so I am probably still a racist just for that.

The ad was dumb as it barely addresses anything AOC says, does or puts out as a policy proposal. The reaction to the ad is that of a moron that has no ability to create a counter-argument so just calls it racist.
Yeah. The whole thing is an example of stupidity both ways. I don't think AOC even watched the ad. She probably only heard about her face being burned in an ad and her thoughts went to "racism!!!" She could've done a much better job responding to it.

AOC has a victim complex so takes anything as an attack upon her as a woman or about race never that she is clueless. It is her MO these days.

The ad is pretty much Cold War PR

McCarthy would be proud. :)

Honestly I would have went with China as an example if I were making an attack ad. It flips/flops between capitalism, communism, socialism, social democracy and authoritarianism depending on individual, industry and whim of leadership. More so the whole thing with HK can be used to create "sides" using American political projection. AOC being more like China. The GOP or ad creator being more like HK. Not that this is true but for optics and PR purposes it works

It's amusing to see the political camp that opposes burning the American flag defend an ad showing a human burning.

It's almost like Republicans care more about partisan politics and tribalism than they do actual humans who disagree with them.

They did get upset with Kathy Griffin.

In name only. Reality would reveal little privilege.
Hey, if yer white, yer privileged.

I once carpooled with Marla, a black gal who also worked at Black & Decker.
(Over many months, she only showed up twice on time enuf to ride together.
She was typically an hour late for work. I guess that was OK in marketing.)
She said she didn't understand why there were white people who weren't
millionaires, since we were all given money. I guess she was what people
would now call "woke". (She also complained about all the racism at there.)
So.....what did you do with your millions.....spend'm on yacht remodeling?

All my money went to women in a system that is not designed to recognize that I have any privileges and shows very little interest in my rights.

She's young and idealistic and most likely trustingly opened her mind in college all bright eyed and bushy tailed and allowed left leaning professors take a giant dump on her brain.
