Gina, The Korean American Woman from America's Next Top Model



Good thing people show these things to me, because I don't have television and therefore don't watch America's Next Top Model and therefore had NO IDEA that a Korean American young woman named Gina could have been America's next top model!!! Yeah, so upon learning this, I just about wet myself. (With pee, perverts. Just pee.) Score one for Asian Americans!

Oh, but not so fast with the pants-wetting!

Turns out Gina said some ultra-stupid shit on national TV, which unfortunately most of the nation watches, about "Korean guys". She said she doesn't date them, because most of them are shorter than she. She was also badgered about her race politics by Tyra Banks and Co., reduced to tears several times, and eventually got cut from the competition.

On the one hand, I hate what she said and want to smack her for it.

On the other hand, what the fuck?! Did any of the white contenders have to defend their race politics? Were they even asked about their race politics?

"So, have you or do you ever intend to date men of color?"
"No? Why not?"
"Sorry, tall pretty skinny white girl, your answers suck and you can't hold your own in the modeling world, because we all know that successful fashion models have fucking amazing race politics, so you're cut from the show! NEXT!"

Click to watch Gina making an ass out of herself.
