it's also industrial-strength psychic sublimation: I picked up on this under Obama when they didn't want to address extinct species, bailouts for only the mortgage criminals, cremating Yemen: it was just EASIER to talk about how Bo did something funny that week
they really just wanted someone who made them STOP thinking about real issues, and called that "radical politics" or whatever: that's why they only went after piddly shit like a museum not making visitors prove their ancestry before wearing a kimono (for an exhibit mocking Victorian-era weebs backed by actual Japanese-American cultural ambassadors, ironically) or having a screaming fit at their nice leftish professor and getting them fired for saying they were capable of seeing a hypothetical Halloween costume (they're Ivy Leaguers, they never technically grow up)

Heh the response from the Japanese consulate was probably the politest "WTF is wrong with you fucking idiots?" I have ever seen.

of course their spaghetti logic shifted to go "Asians in their home countries have no say in this! this is for Asian-Americans to condemn!"; when the Asian-American backers of the exhibit said they weren't offended (and more to the point that nobody wearing a kimono sent them to Manzanar when they were tots) they said only "properly educated" Asian-Americans could determine whether they were witches offensive (further raising the point that if you have to take 6 semesters of an undergraduate course to even tell if something's offensive, is it actually inherently offensive?)
also not a single one of the protesters was Japanese-American, they were Filipino and like a Dominican

The kimono shit was hilarious for how dumb it was. I remember the people protesting it were not Japanese anyway I think they were of Chinese or Filipino descent. I wish I'd been there I'd have asked them if their opposition to the kimono is based on their racist hatred of Japan? (And well, hatred maybe justified to some extend considering how the Japanese behaved to their neighbors for the early part of the 20th century)
Funniest part was if you go to any tourist spot in Japan you'll find loads of business selling kimono or renting them for people to play dress up, and they don't give a fuck if their customers are Japanese or not cause they smartly want to make money. The real reason nobody wears them regularly anymore is frankly because they are a bitch to put on.

yeah, they moved to goalposts to "it's about yellowface, so Japanese in Japan haven't experienced that but all Asian-Americans have": it's rationalizing, not reasoning
this full-frontal attack was nowhere to be seen when people were suspended for teaching the common phrase 那个, of course
