Mui has every right to feel angry when she discovered her image was stolen and used in a “shock” video on YouTube. It reminded her, she said, of when she was cyberbullied.
Our daughter has not been raised to be a source of entertainment for weak-minded people.
It is, at the very least, frustrating.
The more Mui, we and others raise awareness, the more mainstream and less sensational “difference” will become. And more people will treat Mui like a human being rather than as an object of idle entertainment.
The tide is turning. People are much more willing to speak out against this sort of weak-minded exploitation than when Mui was a baby.
Your support is key.

Is it fanciful to hope to change attitudes?
In the 1970s the “N” word and racist jokes were not at all uncommon on children’s television... as a source of entertainment. Raising awareness has helped change that.
