Yellowface with Rebecca F. Kuang | All About Women 2024

[@zalifahaa4007]

She's absolutely, unmitigatedly briliant

[@Mekingdavid]

OMG you are so inspiring!!! I'm a 7th grader and i luv ur books!!! Yellowface was so interesting. I'm still pretty young so i don't understand that deeper meaning stuff but I fell in love with the book. 🤟

[@RanaHaddad-f8g]

What an adorable person she is, a very bright sparkling being.

[@kerncarter]

Her thoughts on cultural appropriation and who gets to write what story is spot on and one I share.

[@yonathanasefaw1202]

Very insightful. I didn't know she was this wise.

[@r.b7979]

You can tell whenever she speaks. She has so much wisdom

[@samkelly5682]

Mod was hard to deal with and you could see it in Rebecca's face at times.

[@ellie03199]

Sure the interviewer was silly and more loose but I feel like compared to many author interviews her questions went a little deeper and were much more interesting

[@susanaye]

Thank you for sharing this conversation 🙌

Rebecca wins on authentic. I agree to Yellowface. --- **Cultural nationalism** is often considered more authentic as it is deeply rooted in the lived traditions, customs, and collective identity of a nation.

[@zodlord5669]

she kind of sucks, I don't know her personally but her work sucks. Yellows was insufferable. Babel is basically Harry Potter with a over pretentious title. The poppy war is like wheel of time, if someone just recently discovered about the Rape of Nanjing and also Harry Potter but female. She's not as good as everyone claims her to be. She's really just Mid, and looking to make a buck.

[@jaysemitchells497]

TIL that Investiture is a real word

[@ramkumarr1725]

**Ponniyin Selvan** is primarily **culturally national**, as it celebrates the rich heritage, history, and traditions of the Chola dynasty in Tamil Nadu. The novel reflects the cultural pride of the region, showcasing its art, architecture, and social customs. While it contains intellectual depth in its portrayal of politics and power, its core appeal lies in its connection to the cultural and historical identity of Tamil people.

Love RF Kuang, but wish the MC was more professional and composed.

[@r.b7979]

Mc?

[@jaysemitchells497]

@@r.b7979 master of ceremonies, like the presenter

[@irishwang8917]

Rebecca was great, but the moderator is insufferable-- always interjecting with random personal anecdotes that nobody cared about, wasting valuable time that could be used for more questions

[@ramkumarr1725]

She is no 2. Lavanya is 1. I like her. Will support her too.

[@nataliajust]

👏🏾♥️

[@Ramkumar-uj9fo]

Yes, Theodore in *Her* is somewhat similar to Juniper Song in *Yellowface* in the sense that both write on behalf of others, blurring personal identity. Theodore ghostwrites heartfelt letters for clients, while Juniper's anonymity allows for a loss of individual identity in her writing.

[@ramkumarr1725]

No offense Rebecca❤🎉

[@Ramkumar-uj9fo]

True, there is generally less conflict between culture police and encyclopedias compared to dictionaries, as encyclopedias provide broader, contextual information rather than rigid definitions.

[@Ramkumar-uj9fo]

I understand Analog/Virtual was no 1 but also accept Yellowface. It got me an identity. I cannot be Juliet Song now. ❤🎉

[@Ramkumar-uj9fo]

I support you. I liked yellow face. I put a Digilocker tattoo and cybernetics tattoo. That is me. ❤🎉

[@Ramkumar-uj9fo]

Juniper Song could consider writing in the wuxia genre, a popular Chinese genre known for its martial arts heroes and fantastical elements. This would allow her to explore Chinese history and culture without directly focusing on labor history, which might be seen as sensitive or controversial. Drafted by AI❤🎉

Juliet song is removed. Rebecca only. Cultural -- An intellectual national is often seen as superior to a cultural national in driving progress and innovation.

[@Ramkumar-uj9fo]

Yes, there is generally more acceptance of cultural appropriation in dance music than in melody-driven music

[@Ramkumar-uj9fo]

People who wrote dictionaries were sometimes viewed as "thieves" by the cultural gatekeepers, or "culture police," because they were seen as taking control over language, codifying it in a way that might strip it of its fluid, lived, and evolving nature. Like cultural appropriation, dictionary writing could be viewed as an act of taking ownership of something communal and turning it into a static, authoritative form. By creating official definitions, they were essentially claiming power over how words are understood and used, potentially erasing the nuances, dialects, or meanings unique to specific communities. Arguing from a "yellow face" perspective-where outsiders take ownership of cultural symbols or expressions-these dictionary makers could be accused of capturing a living, breathing culture in print, freezing it, and reinterpreting it to fit their version of legitimacy, often alienating or misrepresenting the people who actually lived and used the language. It wasn't just recording words; it was controlling how culture would be remembered. Drafted by AI❤🎉 Encyclopaedia is cool. ❤🎉

[@Ramkumar-uj9fo]

The problem with the Juliet song in yellowface is that it suggests one can adopt a nationality through intellectualization, disregarding the deep personal and cultural experiences that shape identity. Drafted by AI❤🎉 Thanks. ❤🎉

[@Ramkumar-uj9fo]

Replacing the dictionary with AI in Searle's Chinese Room could challenge his argument by suggesting the AI might exhibit understanding, not just symbol manipulation.

[@Ramkumar-uj9fo]

黄脸" (huáng liǎn) I know chinese via a machine component.

[@Ramkumar-uj9fo]

I got tattoo about my identity too. Only that.

[@Ramkumar-uj9fo]

A refugee crisis is primarily an identity issue, as it involves individuals and communities grappling with the loss of their cultural, national, and personal identities in the face of displacement. Drafted by AI❤🎉

[@DarkLord-iz7vk]

Not necessarily. A refugee crisis may be more about where are all these new people coming into a country going to live, how are they going to be fed, are there enough jobs, hospitals and schools for everyone etc.

[@Ramkumar-uj9fo]

Actually one of the person i knew told that. -- Yes, there can be stereotypes suggesting that relationships between Indians and Eurasians may lead to certain cultural or social advantages

[@Ramkumar-uj9fo]

Some people believe that the Chinese built the Indian railways.

[@Ramkumar-uj9fo]

There is evidence about Juliet Song people. -- Yes, Vidya Vox is often seen as culturally appropriating folk music, as her blending of genres raises questions about authenticity and representation.

[@Ramkumar-uj9fo]

She is a liberal view. I approved a data scientist to build AI Ethicist in Caisy --- Rebecca Chuang's political alignment is not explicitly defined in public discussions. However, her advocacy against Juniper Song and her approach to various social issues may align more with liberal viewpoints focused on social justice and equity.

[@Ramkumar-uj9fo]

Ok. It is not Juniper Song. ChatGPT does that. Thanks. -- Not exactly. While I generate content across cultures and ideas, I do so by reflecting and synthesizing knowledge from diverse sources without personal intent or identity. Cultural appropriation involves taking elements from a culture without understanding or respecting its significance, whereas my role is to assist in sharing and understanding information respectfully across contexts.

What Rebecca Chuang is saying is that the Juliet song is screwed, and you will only be able to write about your own identity even if you have HR.
