Kate Gosselin Practices Some Racism

Kate Gosselin has eight half Asian children and was married to an Asian. I guess that does not mean you can't make racist gestures about Asians though. She should be ashamed of herself for even putting herself in this position and I wonder what her kids are going to think of her. It is not just her adjusting her eyes, but she is wearing a plastic hairpiece to make it seem like she has Asian hair or is a geisha or something. The photo was released on Twitter on an account that only has had the one Tweet so far. I am guessing Kate Gosselin sent the photo out to a few of her friends and then it ended up on the internet. She has not commented about the photo yet, but I'm not sure what she could say to explain it away and will probably say she was wrong and apologize and move on and it is not like people are watching her on television anymore anyway. She had her time and it is gone. It's interesting though that she is essentially suing someone for being a bully to her but she thinks it's fine to make a racist gesture and that race includes her kids.

(Doesn't make much difference, but I believe the children are 1/4 Korean, as Jon is Korean/Caucasian.); 7:04 AM
LottaColada said...: Who???

I've been waiting for the day to say that about her.; 7:04 AM
MollyMo said...: People are overly sensitive to something that is clearly a joke. Her children are half Asian, I doubt that she discriminates against them or any other person of a different background, solely based on this pic. She might not be a nice person, but people in the spotlight get much more scrutiny than normal people out living their lives. She was an idiot for doing this, but the fact that she sent it to people tells me she meant to be funny and failed. Everyone is politically incorrect from time to time.; 7:07 AM

MadLyb said...: That's not funny. It's a racist gesture stupid and cruel people use to try and be funny while mocking a person's ethnicity, but I digress, because I forgot that a lot of people get a kick out of this sort of low brow, infantile shit.; 7:16 AM
Charlotte. said...: I do this to mock bad face lifts/eye jobs. I also trout pout at the same time, though; 7:22 AM

I will sue this Asians so I can get a lot of money for their "racism".; 7:36 AM
LeGrange said...: Incredible how anything is considered racist to you guys..... I see nothing wrong. Where is this person offending anything in that picture?! I see nothing....

I'm really worried when I move to the States -in less than a month - I'll do something - without knowing - that you consider to be racist.

We don't have that here. We have obvious.... You dont judge a person by its color, ethnicity, social status..... You don't call people names.... You don't use pejorative words to refer to anyone what so ever. But all the rest, it's cool.....

Please someone explain to me why is the picture above offensive cause I need to know what you are thinking!

Why weren't the jokes on thirty rock racists and this is?! So fu#*ing confusing!; 7:40 AM
OKay said...: How is it NOT blatantly obvious racism? She's doing the whole "Chinese" eyes" thing and, uh, why exactly? To mock. There is no other reason for it. No other reason exists for it. She's an idiot, but I've gotta wonder about people who don't think that making fun of another race is racism...; 7:50 AM
MadamChef said...: LeGrange, 30 Rock was a satire, they were using racist jokes to point out racism. What Kate's doing is like what kids do to Asian kids, call them chinks and pull their eyes back so they're squinty. It's really stupid but I wonder if she's making fun of her ass of an ex? Still stupid. You probably will offend someone, there are people who get offended by everything and there's jack you can do about it. There's lots of us reasonable people here too, come play with us and leave the nitwits to their fussing :); 7:50 AM
OliveOyl said...: As a Vietnamese-American, it is offensive and immature. I had this gesture shown to me by my non-asian classmates for years in school. I know what my eyes look like, I don't need a condescending reminder.; 7:50 AM
Unknown said...: @cee kay, one could argue that your label, of "chinese" is racist. many eastern asians have monolid and what is described as "squinty" eyes, not just the citizens of the country of china. so, technically you could be offending koreans, japanese, vietnamese, thai, etc.......; 7:53 AM
Marieeee said...: Those who see "racism" in everything are general the ones guilty of it.; 7:55 AM
The Dude said...: This was all done for PR, do you really think she would be mocking her children? Get over all of the political correctness, I am offended by all of the people calling others racist. Welcome to the human race! People will always find someone to mock, Hair, weight, nose, feet, clothing, religeous belief, politics, car, house, how you raise you child, how you spend your money.....; 7:56 AM
Katie said...: Everything is racist here. We love finding racism from nothibg; 7:57 AM
Anon said...: I can only imagine what Angelina and Sandra Bullock do?
Whitefolks and their jokes , smh; 8:06 AM
figgy said...: This post is a silly over-reaction.; 8:06 AM
LeGrange said...: You are right. They were. 30 Rock I mean.

It's bad that ill end up being 'racist' at some point.... Makes me sad.

I don't remember, as a kid, seeing anyone pull their eyes to make fun of oriental kids and thank God don't see - still- why would that be funny.

I'll certainly go play with the non 'racism is all over' kids. Don't usually get along with the touchy feely fellas. :); 8:07 AM
Anon said...: The Entity has been doing a helluva job highlighting racist white bitches lately , I'm starting to lose my thunder.; 8:09 AM
OneGirlRevolution said...: @Brenda L...exactly.

(I believe the thought is that this pic was on the computer that had info stolen from it by the guy who wrote the ebook that was yanked after legal action was threatened.); 8:10 AM
Gossip Marmalade said...: I find her tan lines with that halter top offensive; 8:19 AM
Brenda L said...: @Cee Kay - what you have here is a known asshole making what could be perceived as a racist gesture. Is it really worth twisting yourself up over? Is SHE worth it? Now...if a child is denied entrance to a school because of the child's race...that is BLATANT RACISM...real civil rights are being denied....and hell yes, let's pitch a fit!

You gotta pick your battles. Too much of this witch hunt racism over the small crap and people are going to lose interest if something really big comes along. "Oh not more racism crap!"; 8:31 AM
MadamChef said...: just curious, if you get bored, go over to tmz and hit the Paula Deen comment section. The white apologist comment is three pages long!; 8:32 AM

urban chaos said...: It's offensive and she's a dumbass. While I doubt she's a racist given she was married to a half Asian man it was done in poor taste and she should be ashamed of this juvenile shit.

Her kids will no doubt love how their mom makes fun of 'Asian eyes' yup, no issues at all..; 9:00 AM

OneGirlRevolution said...: Some dude wrote an ebook about Kate from information he claimed he got off of her computer that had been thrown out Kate's lawyers claim the info was stolen off of her computer (which had not been thrown out) by Jon and given to book writing dude. The book was released for about 2 days and then withdrawn when cease and desist letters were sent to Amazon by Kate, TLC and several other entities Kate had been involved with.

This picture has been rumored to have come from the stolen data, supposedly to smear Kate ahead of litigation. It was published from a one off Twitter account.Hopefully that was a better explanation than the first (admittedly) convoluted one.; 9:13 AM
OneGirlRevolution said...: Meant to put that under Sophia.; 9:14 AM
Anonymous said...: This is an example of a stepping off point for racism. It is mini me racism, but nonetheless racism. So we are doing this on a spectrum now? So this is cool because it is only slightly racist? You've drawn a line in the sand, and your on the bigot side.; 9:15 AM

lunaire said...: Why is it okay to make fun of Asian features? This gesture is ignorant and gross.; 9:28 AM
delete account said...: Thank you. I have slanted eyes and I had to endure this gesture from bullies for much of my childhood. The principals and teachers thought it was funny. The only good thing about not being able to have kids is I dont have to see a child of mine go thru what I did. Nor have to explain to them what racial epitphets are and why so many people use them.; 9:34 AM
correy said...: What a cop out.; 9:39 AM
Brenda L said...: All I'm saying is that there is a difference between being offended and having a violation of civil rights. Being able to walk around unoffended is not a civil right. There's always going to be assholes saying and doing racist things.; 9:42 AM
Unknown said...: Well here's another 'who cares' moment to rile everyone up. You're allowed to be an idiot and tasteless in the comfort of your own home. You're also allowed to photograph these moments and be even more idiotic. Seems like it was done in the spirit of 'all in good fun, we're silly sumo wrestlers' since John took a pic with the wig on, too. Settle down, nothing to see here.; 9:43 AM
Anonymous said...: My thought (right or wrong) is the term racism is thrown around waayyy too much and haphazardly. When one is "racist" that would imply that they feel or believe that another race, outside of there own, do not deserve fair, equal and respectable treatment because they are "less than" or "unequal". It seems to me in most cases like this (and T.E. Cuz's links), you'd need a whole lot more evidence to be accusing her or anyone of racism. Now having said all that...is she an insensitive d-bag with an extraordinary stupid sense of humor? I think yes but to accuse her of racism I think is a stretch just based on this alone. I did something extraordinary stupid at party once when I was young and drunk and I felt like a giant ass after I sobered up but I didn't do it in front of the world to be judged (thank god) and no one accused me of being racist because they knew me (and I wasn't the only one that did this stupid thing). But anyhow, I would be absolutely devastated if my peers genuinely thought I was racist over that. I cannot fathom treating someone different based on their ethnicity. (I was also raised in a very multi-ethnic home). Now Paula Deen? After hearing all the evidence that is coming to light and if it's all true? That screams racist to me...and makes me so sad...so sad that someone would really be ok with feeling that way about another human being :( So sorry so long.; 9:48 AM
Sydney21221 said...: I think this photo indicates a level of stupidity that surprises no-one.
Being half chinese, I can understand why others find it offensive and racist -that's because it is.; 10:21 AM
Sherry said...: Don't be fooled people...She's hoping to get into the news. She needs money and if this does it then she's up for it.; 10:22 AM
chumsley said...: Speaking as a half-Asian (who looks more Asian than white), I have to say that while it's not the worst I've seen, this type of mocking can be hurtful, especially to kids. Nobody wants to be treated like they're a freak. And considering the fact that her kids are of Asian descent, she should have known better.; 10:36 AM
Sugar said...: She needs a cunt punt.; 11:52 AM
Unknown said...: @B Smears, you can't fight bigotry with more bigotry.; 11:53 AM
auntliddy said...: Though i have never done this or seen anyone do this gesture, i am now aware how insensitive this gesture is.; 11:58 AM
TuesdayAdams said...: Being a minority is not a freaking joke! It's not a punch line! But once again if it doesn't affect you, or you've never been on the recieving end of this type of bs I guess it doesn't matter to you. People dot care and say "get over it" because it doesn't affect them. There is no offensive joke about white people like there are jokes about minorities, gays, etc so I don't expect them to understand but I do expect them to at least sympathize. After this and the whole Paula fiasco, I'm clearly expecting too much.; 12:12 PM
M. Brown said...: Sure she is doing something that I'm sure racists find hilarious, but I doubt she's racist, just a complete moron. Who the hell wants their part Asian children to know she does that crap? Those poor kids.; 12:15 PM
Sugar said...: Kate's response:

Clarification on my personal photo that was stored on our “home computer,” that recently surfaced and was released to the public, without my permission:

This was a happy memory of mine. It was a happy time for me and Jon, smiling and “goofing off” together. Jon and I were opening fan mail together one afternoon — which often filled the garage of our Elizabethtown home — and when we opened this plastic Asian dress up wig sent from a caring fan, we smiled, each taking turns posing in it and snapping photos (on my phone) of each other. Naturally, I “slanted” my eyes to show him my best Asian impression, which made him smile.

Evidently, a fan sent it for me to wear so that I too could “be Asian” like the rest of my family. At that time, a common topic of our show was “everybody’s Asian” — except for mommy, so a thoughtful fan figured she’d help me look Asian too! It’s normal to talk about and even “exaggerate” the feature differences between family members of a biracial family as they are noticed by curious growing children within the family. These types of discoveries and at home discussions are a normal part of being a loving accepting biracial family and it does not make any of us prejudice!

I married an Asian. I have eight biracial children therefore I’m quite certain that I’m the last person that could be called a racist. I learned to cook Korean foods from Jon’s mom and grandmother. I couldn’t be more proud of my eight beautiful children and wouldn’t change anything about them or their heritage. They are absolutely perfect just the way they are.; 12:34 PM
Unknown said...: Man, you mainlanders really really have a thing about race, don't you? I'm part-Asian myself and did it. Of course in Hawaii, the Asian kids have a comeback where they push their eyes towards the nose and say "Portagee!"

This blowing off steam in Hawaii. Gosselin's family is from here and I would not be surprised if her kids taught her that stupid little ditty after a visit with their cousins.

It always gets me how people will make a huge fuss about this shit, but are the same people who actively take part in gentrifying urban neighborhoods, silently whitewashing away all the Blacks, Hispanics and immigrant communities via pricing out and health code violations on their stores and restaurants so they can have their hip urban spaces. That sickens me more than something like this ever would.; 1:18 PM
Anon said...: "Though i have never done this or seen anyone do this gesture, i am now aware how insensitive this gesture is."

The Entity needs to start a post entitled "Stupid Shit White People Say"; 2:56 PM
Anon said...: Morbese.....lol, this was cute.; 3:07 PM

car54 said...: Kate may be stupid and offensive, but I don't think she is racists.

She went after Jon in the first place because she loved how Asian guys looked and she wanted her children to look like him. Seriously--she talked about this on their show. She's just stupid and insensitive.; 5:54 PM
Bit dams said...: Y'all sure get fired up eaisly. I find fragile people are the unhappiest. Relax. No one knows what she's doing. No one died, was physically injuried, was targeted. It's JUST a personal, undated photo. Everything's okay :); 6:24 PM
Sandy said...: Negative attention is better than no attention at all, says Kate.; 10:11 PM
B said...: Marieee I guess what you're saying is "I know you are but what am I". Are you in first grade. I sure do hope I never run into any of you people defending this obvious racism.; 2:39 AM
Anonymous said...: this could be funny to some people, no big deal to others, not funny, and or racist to others. Would she have put this as her facebook piture, would she have put this on the cover of her book? She's an idiot for doing this. It would be wrong in any context. You don't make fun of other races physical differences in public, if you want to chuckle amongst friends or family over a racist joke, or a double entendre that's fine, but for God's sake don't post or say anything racist in public, or IN THE MEDIA WHEN YOUR A PUBLIC PERSONALITY AND MAKING YOUR LIVING THAT WAY, KATE!; 6:26 PM
