@clitb8it: ongina is not even chinese 😭 but ru’s been a huge fan of racist asian stereotypes anyway, even as recent as plastique’s season with the exaggerated vietnamese accent playing a nail tech….. ru then also said the song Ladyboy was inspired by Ongina and i’m just wondering if it’s bc it’s a common term in thailand she kinda just… once again linked everything asian to ongina..? idk. but the colonial japanese flag tattoo omg……………… she’s gotten it covered now but oh my god??? and the fact that drag race just… have that flag on their show oh my godddd. was this rly overlooked and accepted in 2009 ??? i was 13 then and i probably wouldn’t have questioned anything much idk or would i have ??? what even was the woke sjw culture like back then….. and to think this show was also a parody of ANTM i’m scared to see how much worse antm was omg. and the constant focus on jade’s tuck and size was soooo… a really hard watch (rupaul’s drag race season 1 episode 9) (also pls bring back reunion episodes!!!!!!!!!) #rupaulsdragrace #rpdr #ongina #dragqueen #lgbtq

THE SONGG

strict asian obama :

s2 is funny as fuck. kinda rotted cuz everyone hated each other

luis :

it was 2009 everything was problematic 😭

mitrahana :

from what i understand Ongina didn't understand the meaning behind the tattoo at the time, just got it because she likes japan and didn't do much research but has since covered it up

louie4465 :

Mavis K :

The gong effect is how that song starts

uhhhok :

Rupaul is NOT progressive. Hes a boomer capitalist who allows fracking on his land and he holds stereotyped racial views. I mean in the 90s he used to walk around wearing thr confederate flag. As a Black person wearing a confederate flag. Thats just how regressve rupaul actually is.

Brody Johnson :

but we also get the origin of “hieeee” so pros and cons

j☆rdan :

even though this aged bad this is still peak television idgaf
