Taiwan People's Party removes 'Vote White, Vote Right' slogan | Semafor

The slogan was an allusion to the color white that the party uses to identify itself.

A Taiwanese political party removed the phrase “Vote White, Vote Right” from its website over its racist connotations in the U.S. and its similarity to a slogan used by an American white supremacist party in the 1960s.

The Taiwan People’s Party uses the color white to identify itself, and a spokesperson said at a press conference that the slogan wasn’t meant to advocate for white supremacy.

The TPP spokesperson said the Taiwanese people aren’t familiar with the idea of white supremacy. But she said the slogan drew “different opinions” from people online and “friends from the West.” Journalists pointed out that the phrase “Vote Right, Vote White” was used by the National States Rights Party, which was founded in the U.S. in 1958 and pushed white supremacist and anti-Semitic messages.

Some experts said the controversy showed the outsized influence of American culture online. “American cultural power is so overwhelming that you have to pull a slogan when it sounds like it could mean something in the US, even when it’s not remotely possible that it could have meant the same thing in context, and also couldn’t be offensive to anyone," Mike Bird, the Asia business and finance editor for The Economist, tweeted.

Yup. Pretty crazy tbh, a completely different culture, society and country thousands of miles away make a slogan for themselves that's completely OK in its original context, but that means something taboo in the US, and so they are forced to change said harmless slogan before the US perspective trumps their own.

But still, it is pretty funny to see a Taiwanese political party saying "Vote white, vote right," I can't deny that.

Globohomo = Global Americanisation.

It isn't that the world slowly melts into a single culture, it's that the entire world adopts 'murican culture.
