To: real saxophonist

I think the article is right in that MM can leverage the term racism. YO never did that that I am aware of.

So MM makes Yoko look good.

To: ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton
YO never did that that I am aware of.

Rolling Stone

Money quote:

Over the years, Ono has been characterized by some as the overbearing wife who caused the breakup of one of the most famous bands of the 20th century. Born in Japan, she blames racism as well as sexism for the unfounded charge, she said. The Beatles had long been having internal problems, she said.

"I think I was used as a scapegoat, and it's a very easy scapegoat, a Japanese woman and whatever," Ono said. "Sexism, racism, but also just remember that the United States and Britain were fighting with Japan in World War II."
