I took a bite of my dinner and scrolled to see what I missed today.

Kung Fool – the thread title was in bold.

“What. the. Fuck.” someone wrote.

“We can’t let them profit from this,” said another.

Someone had posted the image: a Halloween mask of an Asian man with squinty eyes — one black and bruised — buck teeth, protruding ears, and a headband bearing the Chinese character, 敗.

Short for 失敗 – defeated.

It was for sale at all major retailers across the country.

I wanted to throw up.
