Stop trying to make a horrific tragedy about yourselves.\u00a0 Don\u2019t act like you would have given this a second thought if it weren\u2019t Asiana Airlines.\u00a0 Get over yourselves and give your thoughts, prayers and general support to those impacted by this horrific instance, instead of trying to make this into something that it isn\u2019t.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not like the word \u201cfright\u201d isn\u2019t an actual word, except that it is.\u00a0 And probably a pretty appropriate descriptor for what the people riding on flight 214 probably felt when their plane came crashing onto the tarmac.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, \u201cfright\u201d is a play on words, but contextually it has nothing to do with mocking ESL Asians.\u00a0 Words like \u201cEngrish\u201d or in my case, \u201cbrog\u201d are more deliberate about doing such.<\/span><\/p>\n

The situation as a whole is terrible, yet has several silver lining stories amidst the tragedy, from far less casualties than would be associated with a plane crash, a Korean stewardess keeping her head in the midst of chaos, and people actually helping other people.\u00a0 The last thing that needs to be attached to this whole story is a bunch of attention-seeking third-party Asians getting infuriated over a tacky regional newspaper headline.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
