Yikes. Someone claimed–though there’s absolutely no record of it–that a pop singer named Lorde called Bieber and some other pop group “ugly.” Now Lorde’s boyfriend, who happens to be Asian, has become the target of racial vitriol. Check it out here. It’s all over the place–comparisons to Mao Tse-Tung, penis jokes, “ching chong” comments, you name it. It’s sad, but that’s gotta take a toll on a relationship. It’s really unfortunate, especially since it doesn’t look like Lorde did anything to provoke this racist outrage.
