A person assumes a fake ethnic identity in order to advance their career. If you guessed this person to be Elizabeth Warren passing herself off as an Indian to be hired as a minority on the Harvard faculty, you would be right. However, you would also be right if you guessed the person to be the new Marvel comics editor-in-chief, C.B. Cebulski, who years ago pretended to be Japanese in order to advance his career every bit as much as Warren did.
This latest bit of career motivated ethnic pretense was reported on Tuesday by the Huffington Post in Marvel’s New Editor-In-Chief Is A White Guy Who Pretended To Be An Asian Writer:

Turning Japanese
The Vapors
I’ve got your picture of me and you
You wrote “I love you” I love you too
I sit there staring and there’s nothing else to do
Oh it’s in color Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there’s no one else around
I’ve got your picture, I’ve got your picture
I’d like a million of them all round my cell
I asked the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You’ve got me turning up and turning down
And turning in and turning ‘round
I’m turning Japanese
I think I’m turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I’m turning Japanese
I really think so
I’m turning Japanese
I think I’m turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I’m turning Japanese
I really think so
I’ve got your picture, I’ve got your picture
I’d like a million of them all round my cell
I want the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You’ve got me turning up and turning down and turning in and turning ‘round
I’m turning Japanese
I think I’m turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I’m turning Japanese
I really think so
I’m turning Japanese
I think I’m turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I’m turning Japanese
I really think so
No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it’s dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a psyched lone-ranger Everyone
Turning Japanese
I think I’m turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I’m turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I’m turning Japanese
I really think so
(think so think so think so)
Turning Japanese
I think I’m turning Japanese
I really think so

More like Princess Growing Moon. She shows more of her backside everyone somebody puts a microphone in front of her.
I read about this yesterday on a comics website. Since comics are now almost exclusively the domain of liberals (and their poor sales and vanished audience reflect that), most of the commenters are whining about “cultural appropriation” and saying stupid things like “hire an asian writer to write asian characters.”
My favorite response to that was something one guy posted to the effect of “then only writers who had their parents gunned down in an alley by a mugger should write Batman.”
He could at least have pretended to be a Kree or a Skrull or something more interesting. Japanese....boring.
(Yes, I'm being sarcastic.)
Or be of Kryptonian ethnicity to write Spuperman.
Exactly!
Wait ‘til Samuel Langhorne Clemens finds out about this.
That song is about masturbation according to the writer.
funny, Cebulski doesn’t sound Japanese...
I know!.............................
