Unfortunately, when these “journalists” and tweeters are ticked off at or make fun of our president it’s usually well deserved. *facepalm* We all know that twitter is full of vile, ignorant, hateful people, but when media outlets (I’m looking at you, CNN), report stuff like that it’s usually clickbait. Low journalism, just trying to rile folks up. What gets me is that the media refuses to take responsibility for their part in the spread of dissent, dissatisfaction, and hate between people by this approach to news. It’s just 24/7 of OUTRAGE.
“SEE what shocking outfit Meghan Markle wore to meet the Queen!” It’s horrible.
Why is it that the folks who are the most ignorant are the ones who talk the loudest?

Is the objection that he made this gesture and he isn't "really" Buddhist (presumably because he is a white Englishman?) Every yoga class does it at the end, meaning no disrespect. He is vegan, does yoga, and used to teach at a Tibetan monastery in India, and hasn't he mentioned meditation before? I don't know everything that Buddhism entails, or what one does to become one.
Also is it actually Korean people objecting, or just SJWs trying to speak on their behalf?

I think the logic is that they think he thinks all Asian do the same salute when apparently Koreans do it differently than other Asian countries.

I get that and see why it would cause offense, but I thought Koreans do the same salute if they are Buddhist?

IMHO it's clearly just a storm in a teacup.

A Korean statue made and given to Uruguay by a Korean artist.  You can't imagine the jokes on it. |

Twitter’s main function is to provide a platform for people to express outrage at pretty much everything. To paraphrase Churchill , “never in the field of human existense have so many been outraged by so little.”
In future BC should carry a sign saying “I’m going to smile and wave and I apologise in advance if this causes offence for reasons of which I am unaware.”

Well that goes without saying on Twitter, I'm just trying to understand it!
