Tackling Asian Privilege

" The original writer had no idea he was writing some really brilliant comedy"

I think the original writer was definitely aiming for comedy, from a right wing point of view. He thinks he is a right wing Colbert - he is pretending to say "there is Asian privilege - we must tear it down", just as the people he hates (liberals) say "there is white privilege - we mist tear it down". In reality, he doesn't acknowledge the existence of white privilege.

I think The Straight Story agrees with the writer about white privilege, found the article funny, and posted it - and doesn't care it comes from a racist website, and that the ultimate target of it is anyone non-white (it includes genuinely insulting language about Asians in it, as well as the satire). I don't think he posted it as a 'form of satire'. He posted it because it is satire he agrees with.
