I wanted... to point something out to you about the 'who would vote for trump post'-

Parker is an Asian American-

He's like, one of the ONLY asian kids in school.

hi anon!! thank you for leaving an “ask” (in quotations since you’re not really asking me something lol)!!

(for reference, this is the post anon is referring to)

i wanna say now that this post is meant to be read lightheartedly and that it is written with no malice at all (/gen)!! however, i am about to tear you a new hole

first of all, i am asian LMAOOO first gen vietnamese, baybee 😼🇻🇳

not very obvious since a tumblr blog for a rockstar game isn’t exactly somewhere where you would post about your personal life, but yes i am asian and so i know what it’s like to be asian american.

second of all, parker is not confirmed ANYWHERE to be canonically asian. i headcanon him as asian, a lot of people do!! but the only thing we have to go off of are his straight black hair and his pale skin, features associated with east asia.

but when you compare parker to characters that are confirmed asian, angie ng and mr. oh, there’s notable differences to take note of:

angie and mr. oh have explicitly asian surnames (which hey! no big deal, surname doesn’t always indicate ethnicity)

angie and mr. oh are both voiced by asian voice actors; parker is not

angie and mr. oh’s faces are modeled with features that are distinctively asian; parker lacks that

now, none of that really means anything, because for all we know parker could STILL be asian. hell, i’ll go to my fucking GRAVE saying that he’s asian bc god knows this game needs the representation, but i argue against it in this situation because i know how to distinguish canon from fanon.

and frankly? ethnicity does not change the points i made in that post lmao.

parker is naive and blatantly unaware of what is going on in the world around him lmao. he’s a prep: we can assume he’s at LEAST upper middle class, and so he’s grown up comfortably without having to worry about things like that. he’s influenced by people like DERBY HARRINGTON and listening to his dialogue, it’s obvious his parents aren’t feeding him the most progressive ideologies either.

asian or white or mixed, being a person of color does not automatically indicate that someone is not bigoted. often it does, but with parker it would not given the nature of his character. either way, i know a lot of asian people who LOVE trump.

but in the long run, this really doesn’t matter lmaoooo think what you want anon!! /lh /gen

if you want to argue that he’s asian and wouldn’t ever vote for that walking turd, argue it to your heart’s content. this is just my view on it all as someone who loves bully, loves the preps, loves parker, and is also a politically and socially aware asian american.

if you read all this…thank you LMAO have a nice day yall
