I heard Judy Rankin once again call Jin Young robotic. Enough with this rickety old woman her dumb takes and flat out made-up bullshit. Earlier in the tournament she tried to muse on Sung Hyun Park's rough season but instead of mentioning a shoulder problem and like, factual stuff she starts to think out loud about the possible mental toll taken by the pandemic. Somebody, if properly motivated, could totally expose the latent bigotry of all these assholes. The name-mispronouncing microaggressions alone could fill an entire Atlantic article. It's only a matter of time. I was ranting about the same things during this week. SHP is inexcusable because there was a very recent golf.com article where she explained it quite clearly. The whole robotic thing rubs me the wrong way with a racist vibe... It seems to always come up when Asians outperform white people. Like the only way that's possible is some lack of humanity. Fuck that shit. Microaggressions? "Y'all" can not be serious... It's golf not woke billionaire week.

If Judy’s lips are moving and Jin Young Ko is on the screen then whatever she says will be meant as a compliment. That said I’d get the thesaurus out and find a different word that meant the same thing.
Bionic?

What does that mean? I don't think Judy is a billionaire, and I'm sure I'm not. What does money have to do with it anyway? I don't follow American politics if it's that.

I've seen Judy walking around at many tournaments. I always wanted to make a move, but then I'd realize I'm no Walter "Yippy" Rankin and I'd look at the ground instead.

The 'robotic' stuff is fairly insulting, especially since that is a way that has always been used to demean their achievements. But what really bugs me is she also calls her "boring" when Ko starts to take over a tournament. I guarantee you she never did that all the times Annika or Webb got a big lead, but every fricking time Jin Young gets ahead, she says that she's boring. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

Woke billionaires refer to people who can censor your speech ie "misinformation", FB, twitter, track your online clicks, collude with gov't or control your life with pseudo science. To name just a few.

Why are you on a Golf Forum. I am sure you can find a Political Forum somewhere.

I tend to let it slide a little, but I saw this heading into a political argument and decided I'd issue a gentle reminder. No hard feelings.
