I dont see how Corrie is racist.


For one. she said Asian people did nails. no *beep* everyone knows asian's no how to do nails
its not like she was like "wow asian people have nothing better to do with their lives. all they know how to do is nails. there not good at anything else"
now that would be called racist.
but she just stated a fact. Asian's do nails.
"of course you know how to do nails." - Corrie said this.
soo how is she racist?
well....she's not.

the little girl with the black hair and tats all over needs to shut her mouth when shes dissing corrie.
they all start freaking out when Corrie said that but really i dont see the point. they probably all think it too
and even though everyone is hating on corrie, saying they dont deal with racist people. they have to understand, that everyone in the world is racist a little bit at least one moment in their lives.

And technically, that's not being racist. That's just being stereotypical. Racist is considering one race of people to be better/worse than another race. Stereotyping is saying a 'fact' of all people of a group just based on a few people of said group. Like 'all Muslims are terrorists' or 'all African-Americans are good at basket-ball' I know, that's not a big difference, but it just bugs me that everyone called it racist, lol.

And I liked Zui, but she did get pretty annoying in this episode and I don't know how she would beat up Corrie when Zui is like 80 lbs. Haha.
