admittedly I don’t normally like modern shakespeare adaptations but once I went to see my cousin in a midsummer night’s dream and it opened with a high schooler saying “I don’t wanna read this play” so he sits down and eats an entire chipotle burrito on stage and then immediately falls asleep and the play begins but instead of the forest the faeries all hang out in a rainforest cafe TM and at one point in the middle of a scene the guy from the beginning just slowly drifts across the back of the stage on a skateboard, staring at all the characters as the events of the play transpire in the form of some sort of chipotle-induced coma lucid dream

Birds are hard to hit

What did the birds do??

Hit two cops with one brick

Cops are much easier to hit

We all know what they did

when i was at walgreens (at 3 in the morning which explains all of this) the cashier was talking to her coworker about how shed rather be a werewolf than a vampire because vampires are condemned to hell but werewolves arent and then she asked me what i thought and i said vampire because im already condemned to hell and she said in the nicest tone of voice “i dont think anybody is condemned to hell….” paused, stared at me for a few moments, and added on “…not even gay people”

did u know that rainbow rowell is horribly racist in her depiction of park?

I have read the book multiple times, and nothing stood out for me as seeming ‘horribly racist’ or even, ‘hmmm, not sure I would have said that like that’ racist. There are characters who are MEANT to be shown as racist and/or insensitive, and I don’t know how you do that without … y’know … doing that. I am a white person, but I hope I’m not completely insensitive and desensitized to the feelings and plights of others. If you mean Rowell’s description of Park’s appearance is racist, I have seen one or two posts claiming that, and I’m not sure what to think.

I guess I think that the messages of the book are more important than a short description that maybe could have been more culturally sensitive. I guess I think that Asian-Americans are not often depicted in books, YA or otherwise, and while I completely acknowledge that truly problematic depictions are NOT better than no characters at all, I don’t think that Park as a character is problematic. Rainbow Rowell wrote a blog post about Why Park Is Korean that you might want to read, if you haven’t already.

If you read the entire book and still think that Park is depicted ON THE WHOLE in a racist way, I’d be interested to hear your reasoning. It could be that I am blinded by my culture and upbringing, but I hope not.

Bottom line: I’m a fan of Rainbow Rowell’s books, Eleanor & Park was the first one I read, and I’m not going to stop posting stuff about her books because of this message. If you hoped I would, you should probably unfollow me.
