On April Fools Day, the Chron ran a gag article filled with Asian stereotypes that triggered a bunch of controversy.

Right when things started calming down a bit, drama strikes again!

Apparently, after attending a Tibet vs. China debate, one girl has been getting "some messages calling for her to be burned alive with oil." One Chinese group put her contact info on their website and now she's getting all kinds of threats...

Wow.

Now people are flinging mud all over the place--calling the girl an attention-seeker, attacking Chinese groups, etc.

Go read the article. Seriously. It's intense.


There's more hatin' on there than a Juicy Campus post...

PS-It doesn't feel right to end this post with an "Overheard..." so I'll raincheck it.
