Convo with the Kissing Bandit
Moi: I don’t understand how some folks don’t get it.
Kissing Bandit: What?
Moi: The notion of being fetishized and how that’s offensive.
Kissing Bandit: Really? Let me guess who doesn’t get it. Straight White Men.
Moi: Bingo.
Kissing Bandit: Hey man, at least the gay community owns up to it’s rice queens, bean queens and etc.
Moi: That still doesn’t make it right.
Kissing Bandit: If you don’t mind then it shouldn’t.
Moi: And if you *do* mind then that makes you a hard nosed bitch?
Kissing Bandit: No. Just a woman who has taste.
Moi: That’s fucking brilliant.
Kissing Bandit: From one who’s been adored and/or fetishized by a score of men from all continents, I should know.
Moi: So how do you tell the difference between the two?
Kissing Bandit: If they’re willing to date an ugly girl, but because she’s Asian they’ll “forego” conventional norms of attractiveness. Fetishist. If they want to date me because…well … who wouldn’t.
Moi: Like I said, how could you tell the …
Kissing Bandit: (punch in the arm) Bitch.
Moi: Sellout.
Kissing Bandit: What? If an Asian guy wants to buy me jewelry or cars. No big woop. If a white guy wants to buy me jewelry or cars. No big woop.
Moi: Right. That just makes you an equal opportunity whore.
Kissing Bandit: You know there’s just no winning with you.
Moi: And that’s why I’m still single.
Kissing Bandit: Here’s some double A’s to hold you over in the interim.
Moi: Bitch.
Kissing Bandit: Touche.
