Hi Anon, yes, I know what that’s about. My first reaction is: Oh, FFS. *huge eyeroll. 

What this is about its Extreme Shippers continuing to be the jerks that they are to Mackenzie and to malign her at every turn. ES make up crap about Mackenzie, package it as facts, and then they see to it that these LIES are spread as canon throughout shipperville. I guess they think that if they make Mackenzie look bad enough publicly that either Sam’s family and friends will tell him that Mackenzie is bad for him, or that Mackenzie will get sick of their bullying and break up with Sam, or that Sam himself will “see the light,” and “realize Mackenzie is bad for him,” and he’ll dump her himself. Lord. Fortunately, Sam is a GROWN MAN, who has shown his Taurus stubborn streak on more than one occasion, and it’s clear he does what he wants. IOW, ES are shit out of luck when it comes to ANYTHING they do influencing Sam in any way, shape, or form. 

But, I digress...what you’re referring to is this: A few weeks ago Mackenzie and her bff, Paydin were in San Diego, California. One of them posted an IG story of both of them posing for a pic with an Asian woman, while another Asian woman took the pic with her cell phone. The word “clueless” was written over the IG story. All four women were smiling and laughing, and looked happy. Those of us who are normal and sane figured the word “clueless” was in reference to 1. that the Asian woman taking the pic was “clueless” about how to work her friend’s cell phone, since she seemed to be fumbling with it and they were all giggling at her efforts to take the pic, OR 2. that Mackenzie and Paydin were “clueless” as to why the Asian women wanted to take a pic with them in the first place. Regardless, it seemed to be done in humor and was lighthearted, no malicious intent or mocking of anyone detected anywhere on that IG story. But since ES are NOT sane or normal, and are buttheads who have to turn EVERYTHING into something it’s not, THEY made it out to be that Mackenzie and Paydin were laughing AT the Asian women and mockingly calling them “clueless.” ES have now spread this as FACT, and have coined Mackenzie and Paydin horrible racists. This is totally WRONG, libelous, and NOT what happened at all. So, there you have it, Anon, that’s the backstory. 

As an aside, obviously there can be racists anywhere, but I’d like to point out that Mackenzie and Paydin live in Los Angeles, and Los Angeles is one of the most racially diverse cities in the U.S. In L.A. no matter where you are, on any given day, it’s not unusual to see people who are White, Black, Hispanic, Asian Middle Eastern, Indian, etc. L.A. is a huge melting pot. Mackenzie and Paydin would not be shocked to see two Asian women and thus start acting like fools around them. It’s totally ridiculous for ES to say that. I know how to say “thank you” in Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Tagalog because that’s how many different Asian cultures reside in Los Angeles, and how many times I encounter people of these cultures at stores, restaurants, events, or just out and about, etc. and it’s fun talking to people in their own language and finding out about their culture. Sooooo, the only people who thought that IG story was racist were people who live in a little bubble (ie. their tiny brains) and have NO clue about how people in SoCal live, and the multitude of different cultures that reside here, including a very large Asian population.
