Humor is at its best when it’s making fun of everyone and no one at the same time. The jokes on 2 Broke Girls use one person to make fun of a group. The joke is aimed at Han and people like him and is to be enjoyed by everyone but them. When I think of my favorite comedies, the writers use the actors skills and preferences to inform the character then use those complexities to exploit the viewer’s expectations of race, gender, and/or age. How can the actor accomplish that when the most important element he brings to the performance is that he’s Asian?
Critics seem genuinely surprised the show is popular despite its racist elements. I can think of a shit ton of things that are popular despite their racist elements: the justice system, the public school system, the cool kids at your high school, etc. I feel like racism is pretty popular in the same way this show is. If people don’t feel personally responsible, they figure it’s okay to sit around and silently reap its benefits.
Would you perchance have the sushi bowl recipe on your person? No luck with the site, and my dinner depends on it.
i’d forgotten about sushi bowl! i have a copy of this saved to simplenote and now i’m starving:
Ingredients
1 c sushi rice (the world will not end if you use another type of rice)
2 c water
¼ c seasoned rice vinegar (or more / less)
cucumber
red / yellow pepper
carrots
avocado
marinated and pan-fried extra firm tofu
toasted sesame seeds
tamari / soy / ponzu
1. How do you marinate your tofu? I do these things:
+ drain it, obviously
+ whisk this together: ¼ c soy sauce, ¼ water, 1 Tbl honey, ¼ tsp red pepper flakes, 1 crushed garlic clove
+ slice the tofu into tofu-like slices
+ pour marinade over tofu and refrigerate for 15 mins or more
2. Rinse the rice three or four times. This keeps it from sticking together now, so we can make it stick together later because we’re totally in control. Put the water and rice in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to low, cover and simmer for around 20 minutes, shaking occasionally. (It might be my own compulsion, but I like to hold the lid against the saucepan and give it a few shoves back and forth to make sure nothing sticks. I’m basically obsessed with rice not sticking.)
3. What a spectacular time to slice your vegetables! Do that. Slice them into thin strips. Or chop them? This is your dream bowl and I think you should follow your heart.
4. Pan-fry the tofu. Just, you know, fry it in a pan until it’s brown or you get bored.
5. Spread the rice out onto a large thing, like a baking sheet or shallow dish. Drizzle vinegar over the rice a tablespoon at a time. Now really gently toss / fold things around. This will take a minute, but it’s going in the bottom of a bowl, so don’t get too particular. The rice should be sticky and shiny and more or less delicious.
6. Hello it is time to get a bowl and put some rice into it. Top that with the tofu and sliced vegetables. I didn’t have tofu or avocado, so you’ll need to use your imagination. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and tamari/soy/ponzu. If you like nori more than we do, you could toast a sheet or two and put some strips on top. That will look really fancy.
Riese! Convo I had w/ a straight girl. Her: “Eh, that girl is cute I guess, but too masculine.” Me: “Yeah, hot.” Her: “Wait. WHAT? That makes no sense.” How do you explain that liking androgynous girls doesn’t mean you want to screw boys?
ask her why liking boys doesn’t mean she wants to screw androgynous girls
If money would help the website not break as much, could you please share the link to where to give just straight-up donations on the tumblr, please? Sorry for yet another thing about the site being down, but I’d like to help if possible.

Any advice on how to zone out when you’re in ROOMATE hell?
