The Year Of The Rabbit

The Year Of The Rabbit
Its The Year Of The Rabbit

Today is the Asian Lunar New Year and the beginning of the Year Of The Rabbit.

So… Relax, Think Happy Thoughts, Get Lucky, And Make Some Babies?

Yes, in China and across most of Asia, this now the Year Of The Rabbit, specifically the Water Rabbit. It is considered the luckiest zodiac year, characterized by peaceful and patient energy, good luck, creativity, and fertility.

But, in Vietnam, It’s The Year Of The Cat

As I wrote though, it’s the Year Of The Rabbit across most of Asia. In Vietnam – possibly because of odd crossovers between the pronunciation of rabbit in Mandarin and the written form in Kmer; possibly because the Vietnamese have a longstanding and not unexpected bias against the Chinese – this is the start of the Year Of The Cat.

So, so as to both limit Chinese cultural tyranny and to make some inroads against my own personal anti-Vietnamese bias, here’s some fine cats as well. After all, 50 years is a bit long to hang on to that level of hate. 😉

Rethinking Rapprochement

Rethinking Rapprochement With Vietnam

Having lived through the time of the Vietnam War and having lost my father to it, I’ve never been one to have any desire to interact with Vietnam or the Vietnamese. However, sometimes I can be inspired to rethink the idea of a rapprochement with that nation and its people. 😉

Appropriate

Appropriate Not AppropriationAppropriate Not Appropriation, She’s Not White

Yes, this fine, young ebony woman is perfectly appropriate in her dress. Nobody is going to complain that she’s guilty of Cultural Appropriation, despite her dress being a cross between a Vietnamese áo dài and a Chinese cheongsam that has been “Westernized.” She’s not White and we all know that tirades about “Cultural Appropriation” are only levied against White people in America.

Then, “Cultural Appropriation” in America is rarely anything more than a oikophobic, anti-White, racist shibboleth among our domestic enemies, the so-called Liberals and Progressives, along with their ever-aggrieved minority tenants. It is nothing more than yet another case in which these Leftists have taken something with some contextualized social value and twisted and debased it into nothing more than a mindless attack upon White people and the melting pot that is – or once was – core to American culture and which strengthened the fabric of our nation.

Kerry’s Correspondence

Obama’s latest Secretary of State, John Kerry actually publicly said that the threats posed by Climate Change should be addressed with as much “immediacy” as confronting ISIS. Yes, it’s true; Kerry believe there’s a direct correspondence between these threats.

Climate Change Is Just Like ISIS
Climate Change and Haircuts

I suppose he’s close to right…if there’s a similar correspondence or equivalency between beheading and haircuts.

Of course this is coming out of the mouth of an individual who first made his fame by drawing a similar correspondence between his supposed brothers in the US military and the terrorists of the Viet Cong…
