When a SF-centric blog makes some ignorant errors and churns out such poor one-sided writing about this fair city, it’s probably time for me to leave this once great city.
Check out this drivel posted recently about a Filipino named street in a part of SF’s South of Market District:
Hey, did you know that we have a Lapu Lapu Street? It’s true! Between 3rd and 4th on Harrison. What a crazy name! It’s ethnic or something. (Also: is that a little hedge maze a block north of it? That seems pretty.)
Fortunately, the commenters sorta set the record straight. But as any resident of just a few years (who pays attention) knows: that part of SF is known as Little Manila, thus providing the basis for such an “ethnic” name. Seriously, when did a city known for its diversity get so full of casually racist white yuppie transplant douchebags?
Reblogged on my race site: It’s Ethnic or Something.
srsly? you’d leave SF because matty was a teeny bit snarky?
