Like damn the dude and most of his family were killed in a mass shooting, did you really need to orientalize him on the way out?

    I think they're referring to him being noted as a taekwondo master. Which, I dunno, seems like a notable thing to mention in humanizing a victim to me.

        I don't know if it is orientalist but at the very least it is normalizing patriarchy so I agree the word father should be used instead.

        Patriarch is a really weird term because you're either talking specifically about patriarchy, or you are talking about organizations like the mob. China had it's feudal clans. Calling a guy who was just a father "The clan head" would be really fucking weird and is ascribing feudal structures to a normal Asian family. Calling a normal Italian man who died a patriarch would be weird for the same reason.
