News Report Of Michelle Yeoh's Oscar Victory Triggers Knee-Jerk Outrage

Conservatives and others pushed again towards NPR Sunday for referring to Michelle Yeoh as “the primary one that identifies as Asian to win” the Finest Actress Oscar.

The controversy brewed on Twitter following the “Every little thing In all places All At As soon as” star’s historic victory on the ninety fifth Academy Awards.

Many accused the outlet of taking so-called wokeness to the acute, whilst a number of Twitter customers identified that NPR was probably giving a nod to Merle Oberon, a 1936 Oscar nominee who hid her Asian heritage. (Readers later added a word to NPR’s tweet for “context.”)

“Google shit first earlier than being outraged by some random tweet LMAO,” one particular person admonished.

The phrasing that touched off the destructive reactions.

However the knee-jerk reactions got here anyway.

She would not IDENTIFY as SH*T, #WokeMindVirus twerps.

SHE IS ASIAN. Born in MALAYSIA to Malaysian mother and father. So what would she "establish" as OTHER than Asian? Aborigine? You are pathetic and WASTE of taxpayer cash. Use English accurately: "IS".

Stop your language-warping crap.

Maybe in response to the brouhaha, NPR’s headline on the precise story later learn: “Michelle Yeoh is the primary Asian lady to win finest actress Oscar.”

A reader’s word additionally appeared on the tweet to clarify the Merle Oberon reference.
