FishbowlDC, Betsy Rothstein, and racist jokes and the phrase that needs to die
Make no mistake: casual anti-Asian racism by Betsy Rothstein ain't nothing new. The internet just provides more opportunities for people to be idiots about it. This latest one comes courtesy of the clever Betsy Rothstein at FishbowlDC, who thought they'd include a hi-lar-ious racist joke in their recent "reviews" of The Hill's annual "Most Beautiful" list: FishbowlDC's Betsy Rothstein Prints Hilarious Racist Joke
In their snarky assessment of Dr. Jennifer Lee's photo, editor Betsy Rothstein chose to throw down the laziest f$%king racist joke this side of Full Metal Jacket: "Mi so horny?"
Eddie Scarry: Been instructed not to touch this one.
Of course, FishbowlDC has quietly stealthily scrubbed the entry. Betsy Rothstein's contribution now reads, "I wonder what kind of moisturizer she uses." Backing off from your racist bullshit, Betsy?
