Reply to comment by HatsAndTopcoats in [50F][27F] I’m (50F) half Chinese and my niece (27F) is white. She made a racist Asian comment on a professional phone call right in front of me and hasn’t properly apologized or contacted me (very unusual) How do I talk to her about this in a constructive way? by Complete-Lettuce-941

It’s really not “from” full metal jacket. It’s a line associated with sex workers during the Vietnam War. Full Metal Jacket (and rap) pushed it into the pop culture of the time. I’d like to believe she didn’t know but 1. it’s said in a disparaging Asian-American accent. 2. I refuse to accept “not knowing’. Racists say stupid antiquated crap all the time.
