>assaulting Asian people has become a trope in hip-hop over the past couple of years (e.g. “ling-ling boppin’”). >It's hard for me not to believe you just made this up. "ling-ling boppin" doesn't return any Google results. 1 video, with 1100 views is in no way indicative of a "hip hop trope". I used to love HN, now I can see that there are a large number of intellectual cowards here. On a site full of engineers that understand statistics, a video with 1100 views being seen as a trope within the context of hip hop is patently absurd. I literally cannot find a single wu-tang video with less than millions of views, but one no-name rapper with 1100 views is a "trope". Yet that comment will receive 0 downvotes because it's a victim narrative that HN wants to believe. That is dangerous and intellectually disingenuous. I was ashamed of the "Michael Brown - Hands Up Don't Shoot" narrative because it was simply untrue, but it was a narrative adopted by the AA community because it supposed a popular and often valid position. I always expected better on HN, it truly saddens me to see this here.
