Former Biglaw Attorney Goes on Anti-Asian Racist Social Media Rant
A Facebook post by a former Jones Day lawyer included a racially charged rant, apparently set off by the movie Crazy Rich Asians.
Above the Law tells the story of Christina Ignatius, who railed “against Asians that ‘took over Orange County’ — propagating the trope of Asians as bad drivers and ridiculing her perception of a generically Asian accent — and calls dealing with Asians ‘one annoying thing after another.’”
“If you went to UCI like I did you probably went to school with a lot of rice rockets,” Ignatius wrote. “Asians flooded that school if they were smart and could get in. They went there to become doctors. They were raised by Tiger Moms who told them ‘to become docta,’ and then if they weren’t smart enough to become a doctor, ‘to marry docta.'”
Some of her Caucasian male lawyer friends “who married Asian women were completely poached for dollars and earning potential,” she added.
