What the journalist wrote was kinda messed up. Insensitive, probably. In poor taste, probably. Should he have said it out loud on such a public platform? Eh... I don't know. As an Asian dude, but speaking as an American, I can understand where this guy is coming from. The world is changing and America is not as "white" as it used to be. While there was diversity growing up, there were a lot of "norms" that we see today that were not present 20 years ago. LGBTQ, interracial relationships, electric vehicles, tiny houses, legalization of marijuana, just to name a few.

The world is changing, and for some that change is coming at a pace that feels faster than a 18-month Verizon contract. We all long for nostalgia. It is what soothes us, what brings us back to a time when we feel safe and at ease.

By firing the guy makes it seem the Denver Post care more about its advertising than having the difficult conversation that we, Americans, all should have.

I feel bad for the guy and I'm Asian.
