As the alleged "father" of an alleged "black" adoptee: …And as a man who feels that different "feature sets" (ie. racial characteristics) are unimportant in terms of functioning in comtemporary American society… Why do you engage in parodying black slang and pronunciation?

Because slang is not “black” to me, just as French and English are not “white.” Culture, of which language is a part, is to humans as what TCP/IP is to computers.

Now, you lying racist hypocrite, that I've outed you

You’ve “outed” yourself, assuming that slang is innately attached to physical feature sets, when in reality it belongs to all of us. What appears to you as “racism” is in fact mere freedom, freedom to enjoy innocuous language and expression as something that belongs to any who wish to enjoy it.

You are the racist. You truly are. That is exactly why your daughter has suffered. You were unwilling to crawl into her space and learn about jab chae as a fresh gift to you both. And she always felt the sting, the crushing sting, of being separated from everyone, you in particular. She still feels it.

I suggest you stop.

I suggest you start.
