I don't think his dislike of Vietnamese food is related to his disinterest in the article. He was simply pointing out that the article was yet another cliched human interest piece, and I think it's going overboard to accuse him of attempting to further marginalize the already faceless immigrant masses that keep our city and our country running. In other words, chill out.

And getting caught in the rain.<BR/><BR/>But I have nothing to do with WCP aside from being a regular reader. As for the rest, though, J of A has me pegged -- I am a nonprofitjournalistwriter, a species as common as subway rats in this city, and about as useful as mimes. And as a member of that species, it annoys the shit out of me when I see the solipsistic drivel of someone who assumes that because he wasn't curious enough to be interested in a particular story, that means it was a bad/pointless story. For every Rusty out there who hates Vietnamese food and doesn't give a crap about the travails of this particular family, there's a Trang, Diep, or Hyung who probably found it compelling. <BR/><BR/>Heck, I found it interesting and I'm far from Vietnamese (Pakistani, actually.
