It’s more than laughing. It’s the mocking and disdain in her eyes that sets me off. My father is south Asian and this just breaks my heart. It’s one thing to have opinions about other cultures but another to loathe him from behind and show so much contempt. Just for his accent

There Has Been No Apology of Any Kind
Well, this has been out here for a bit. Haven’t seen an apology, explanation or anything from Ebony.
