California lawyer posts extremely racist sh*t then surprised by backlash





The screenshots made their way on a Chapman Law Alumni Facebook page and quickly made rounds on the internet.

After receiving backlash, Ignatius attempted to pass her comments off as 'something funny about Crazy Rich Asians'.

'Apparently it was so provocative that it was considered abuse,' Ignatius later posted.

'I had no idea that talking about stereotypes would be so provocative,' she defended,

'Somehow my post goes down bu this one manages to stay up with 10million views,' she wrote, referring to a parody video titles 'S*** Asian Mom Say, which depicts an Asian man dressed as an Asian mother.

'By the way, I do not hate Asians,' she said. 'I really love them and I find differences to be funny and interesting.'

Her post has been shared by the Asian community and allies who have called for the California Bar to suspend her license.

It does surprise me that some of them are dumb enough to broadcast them all over the internet. I suppose it's useful to know who the bigots among us are - but really, Christina? You were smart enough to get through law school and pass the notoriously difficult California bar exam but you're not smart enough to keep your more unsavory thoughts to yourself, or at least don't post them on the fucking internet?

...who I overheard making cringe worthy racial charged comments. But nothing so outrageous like this. (Perhaps they were careful not to make racist comments within earshot of me?)

It really angers me that racist like this person are in the legal profession. Orly Taitz is the other one that is so embarrassing.

Racists themes in her one post. I don't think I have seen anything like it online. Usually racists hit one one or two themes or stereotypes in a post. She is an overachiever.

Let's unpack her post:

driving skills
choice of car
accent - pronunciation
"taking over" an Orange County shopping Center
"taking over" Yosemite
"flooding" Orange County
"flooding" a university
Rude behavior - at mall and at Yosemite
Marrying for money
choice of careers.
"if you think you can get away from them..."

Then she responds to the uproar with "I love Asians".

I'm sure money and marrying other doctors or lawyers were never mentioned.
