Bowen Yang And Joel Kim Booster Get Mistaken For Each Again
Huff PostMost people of color have had this painfully uncomfortable experience. Still, I don’t think anything can top the cringe factor of what happened to Joel Kim Booster and Bowen Yang. As the flustered cherry on top of all this, the writer also said that “Booster and Kim continue to be two of the funniest comedians working today.” Both errors have since been corrected, and the Out article now includes a correction note and apology for the misattribution, saying it “deeply regrets” its mistake. Still, as a queer Asian person, it was especially exasperating to witness a writer getting these comedians’ names wrong, especially when Yang and Booster are so beloved by our community — and the Out piece was supposed to be in their defense. This feels like a social experiment.” And then he said this: Bowen and I promised each other that this year we’d suppress our urge to make the people who mix us up feel better afterwards.
