LiNA SO, CAN WE BE POLiTiCALLY CORRECT?? DAMN...

Somehow, between classes and a hectic work schedule, I've fallen into the reality tv trap. My show(s) of choice? VH1's Real Chance of Love and Scream Queens. We won't even go there with Chance and Real so let's jump right into horror-driven star search, Scream Queens.

I'm not one to pass much judgment on others. I promote peace, unity, and any kinda nunna dat shyt but SQ cast member Lisa So obviously lives by another creed. Her remarks toward fellow competitor were absolutely and completely racist!

I'm all for truth and reporting the facts as they happen but honestly my feelings were almost hurt by hearing the ignorant, stereotypical garb that left her little red lips.

"We look like crack whores... in Inglewood."

"...ghetto ebonics..."

Who were the producers of this last episode? I'm not one to protest or plaster my opinion across screens but you'd think censorship still owned its place in American television programming.
First Amendment my ass!! That chick needs to be out of here fast. I'll still encourage you all to stay tuned and support the things you love but she's definitely not on my list of relatable reality stars.


Appearances deceive, simple b....

Hi, as an Asian who is all for being unPC when it comes to educated comedy ala Dave Chappelle, Daily Show, etc, I find Lina So a completely ignorant human being and a disgrace to Asian Americans. I just saw her myspace page which confirms she is a very childish sick person.

Please please please, believe me, this is not THE face of Asians in America and she is furthering the worst beliefs about our race. We are invisible in the media and this is how we end up making it in the mainstream spotlight? That's disastrous.

I am completely disgusted by her remarks and I hope Karma comes back at her very soon. You reap what you sow. I would have no qualms if she were merely calling people out for being stupid or difficult but when she and the other stupid contestants start making ignorant remarks like she does... lets just say I wouldn't mind if she happened to get a beat down. It makes my blood boil. That's why I was just on the net trying to search for someone that was going to talk about it.

I would very much like our Asian American community to call her out, but that would give her voice some credence and make the false impression that's she's more than an insignificant speck of dust. She's a nobody that no one knew about until a few rare channel surfers like myself saw her pop out of nowhere, giving us a bad rep. People are responsible for their actions and it shouldn't be a reflection on the rest of us hard working people in all industries. Regardless, I feel like I have to apologize to anyone and everyone who has seen the show for her actions on behalf of my entire race.

On that new 50 Cent show 1-2 have made Black and Asian derogatory remarks. On Scream Queen, 1-2 made disgusting remarks about Black and Jewish people on that show. Maybe the national average of racist people is 2 out of 15.... The majority of those contestants are trash.

I've been looking all over for someone to speak up on this so I'm glad you posted.

Whether your Black, White, Asian, Latino, there's no excuse for people to make racist remarks like that. Every population has their group of small minded people, unfortunately one of them is basking in the lime light of reality TV.

I'm sorry this comment isn't well structured. I just am so outraged that she was given a mainstream platform to open her mouth.

I know that this is an old issue but I just want to say that Lina So claims to be a Christian and that offends me the most. She is a SPOILED BRAT who I happen to know with a criminal history. She was not raised by her parents at all except to have her mother scream (PUN) to make her clean the house and her father worked all the time at their restaurant so she was out on the streets of Vegas at age 14, "modeling" pretending she was 18 or 21 and doing very vulgar photo shoots. She hasn't been raised and is a typical sin city girl who once claimed she couldn't get any good roles because she was "too sexy". Now that she blew her career showing her true brat, spoiled racist self and can't make it anywhere because the public hates her, she got married. LOL The true independent scream queen. I love how she claimed to be a Christian but loves bloody, gory sickening torture movies. This "kid" is something else and offends us ALL!!!
