This is the infamous clip where Gina, a very confused and self hating Asian American individual, goes in front of Tyra Banks and says ‘I want to represent Asians’, then in the next breath says she isn’t into Asian guys and explains why with some really lame generalizations. The judges come down hard on her for this, and then she gets really confused and I don’t think Gina really understands what happened.
Here is another clip, where Gina says “I’m 21 years old, I don’t know who I really am, I feel like I’m having an identity crisis”
Here is another clip, where another model calls out Gina on how Gina feels ashamed of her race. Gina responds by saying ‘I feel like I’m American and Korean, but I don’t know which one I am more of’.
