#also turns out fu manchu canonically prefers wearing nude/flesh-colored cheongsams

[romanceyourdemons]

ok i’ve been reading the mystery of dr. fu-manchu and it’s so funny when the narrator looks at an asian character through racism goggles two and a half inches thick, describes their normal human features with words like simian, feline, ghastly, mask-like, uncanny, grotesque, and then says something like “i could not say why, but some preternatural instinct told me that this man was evil.” girlie please
