What’s wrong with Penny Ying-Yen Wong?

She has an East Asian name and an East Asian face, yet she does not speak a single East Asian language and can barely communicate with an entire side of her own family.

Raised white, married white, raising her children white, and having spent her entire career in the white monoculture of Canberra, she nevertheless condemns any suggestion of a monoculture.

She has advocated for LGBT rights throughout her life, yet has never seriously advocated for Asian rights — consistently placing her sexuality ahead of her cultural heritage.

She should go back to Malaysia and learn some Chinese so she can reconnect with her ancestors’ culture.

As Foreign Minister she does not appear to recognise that the Chinese-Australian community might have any useful role in shaping national security policy — yet somehow $150 million in donations to secret offshore trust accounts will keep Australia safer.
