We can do both speak out against racism and fight the system I mean I blog late at night usually and during the day work for a queer organization it's not like calling on Wendy ho was taking time away from other more pressing concerns which I cert...
Kasey, I agree with you in that we want a stronger community. But in order to achieve this goal, we have to get passed the victimization of words. I've never been one to keep silent about any issue that is meant of on an attack of my person or my ...
About Wendy Ho I am interested in the following things:
Is Wendy Jo playing a black person? Or is Wendy Jo playing a white person who thinks she is or wants to be black?
Is her website "about her" or is it an extension of the Wendy Ho persona?
Can...
Right on
So there's been allot of posts here on Wendy Ho and her "racist tour" of America and I'm finding it hard to see valid points.
While I have to admit that I'm not very familiar with her work, I have seen a video of hers that I found a bit funny, no...
Your point is valid and I respect it. She's obviously not everyone's cup of tea, nor mine for that matter, but I was just trying to show a different side of the argument about her. Personally, I think making fun of gays or races is kinda tacky and...
Maybe her intent is pure I will concede but her performance in my opinion definately failed that night to show any sense of reclaiming identities or feminist thought etc as she claims .
Like I said, I don't think there's anything unique about this performer. But I highly doubt that she's performing at gay clubs just for the sole purpose of spreading her bigotry, if in fact, that's what she is. Right?
Yeah then it's too bad even the queer activists in the room couldn't pick up on that and trust me we tried . I doubt your average Castro gay thought wow what a unique critique this performance is. It just didn't show through.
Wendy's show is to make fun of stereotypes not to put them down. Same as Margaret but in a different format.
With Margaret, it's very clear she is poking fun at the stereotype, the racism, etc. With Wendy's performance it is not. Maybe she just needs more practice.

Is Wendy Ho Being Singled Out?
So there's been allot of posts here on Wendy Ho and her "racist tour" of America and I'm finding it hard to see valid points.
While I have to admit that I'm not very familiar with her work, I have seen a video of hers that I found a bit funny, not laughing belly-ache funny, but funny.
I don't think she's doing anything that hasn't already been done before by *gulp* DRAG QUEENS!!!!
I'd call her work a rehash or even cheap imitations, but racist, I don't think so. So she goes on stage and quote-… Continue

I notice you took down your Wendy Ho post and maybe that's just because you're doing some editing, but if not please repost it. I for one think you made some good points and so did Brian
