as a response to this:

what's even more stunning is that she hasn't had to retract it, not for want of action on the part of concerned asian american groups, but because nobody who isn't asian american seems to give a damn. |
so are you saying that the majority of non-asian americans think that it's perfectly ok to use racially charged remarks against asian americans?
it's ok to say jap, nip, gook, chink, slant, zipperhead, slope, but it's not ok to say n*, or sp* ?
why do i care? because i'm a slant-eyed mongoloid who mabey might become part of the yellow peril some day. maybe because i'm one of the people who could be painted with that same brush for no better reason than i have the similar facial features as mineta, or wen ho lee, who the knee-jerk rightist "patriots" have branded un-american without making any distinction between a person's politics and a person's ethnicity.
yes, ann coulter has a half-decent point, one that if the majority of a certain type of criminal is of a certain type of ethnicity, it makes sense to put in just a bit of extra scrutiny on those of that ethnicity.
did she need to couch it in racially inflammatory tones? **** no.
did she know it was racially charged, linking an american of asian decent to an atrocity committed by asians with no american linkage? most definitely. did she care? doesn't look like it.
and by and large, it seems as if those who are white, black, and latino don't give a **** either. but had it been powell or rice, jesse jackson, al sharpton, and hell, most everyone else in the government would have been all over her ass to get her to if not retract those beliefs, at least apologize for being so...

'racially charged?'

No, and I don't believe Coulter is saying this. I do agree that the tragedy of the relocation of Japanese Canadians and Americans has been blown out of proportion. It's still a tragedy, but in light of the Nanking Massacre, can hardly be compared.

I don't think it should matter one bit, your ethnicity. I'm supporting one of you mongoloids in the Conservative party in my riding, whom I think is a fine candidate.
I live in Hongcouver, for pete's sake. We're a minority in some of the suburbs.
I've even dated a Korean for a short while. If you don't believe it, you can prolly find quotes in the OT Archive when I first started posting in OT.

By your reaction, I think she's spot on. If this man in particular, was not Asian, would he have a job? The vehemence of your reaction seems to say that she's hit a sore spot.
If he is competent at his job, that is one thing, but it does no one any good to have someone who is incompetent, regardless of their race.
I'm still looking for the section that is 'racially charged.' It's not racist to accuse someone of being incompetent. Coulter is not saying that all Japanese are incompetent, just questioning why this man, in particular, has his job.

Will, I have heard of.
The rest I have not.
William Kristol is editor of the influential Washington-based political magazine, The Weekly Standard. Widely recognized as one of the nation's leading political analysts and commentators, Mr. Kristol regularly appears on Fox News Sunday and on the Fox News Channel.
Before starting The Weekly Standard in 1995, Mr. Kristol led the Project for the Republican Future, where he helped shape the strategy that produced the 1994 Republican congressional victory. Prior to that, Mr. Kristol served as chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle during the Bush administration and to Secretary of Education William Bennett under President Reagan. Before coming to Washington in 1985, Mr. Kristol taught politics at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
Edit:
Now that I think about it, I have heard about Buckley. I'm surprised you like him, especially when he quotes G.K. Chesterson, or makes statements like this.
"American conservatives never exclude those who discountenance transcendent perspectives, but we tend to live by them."
I see why you like Krauthammer, though.
Same ol' Anti-semitism of the Passion of the Christ. He forgets that the Jews were not the one scourging, but the Romans. Why is it okay for Gibson to depict the Romans scourging for 10 minutes?

who must certainly be aware of how that terminology was used against Jews. God only knows how many crackbabies went unadopted because people like him were scaring people away with predictions of doom and gloom. And where has he been as his predictions have proven to be bogus? Nowhere! No retractions, no apologies to all those slandered, nada.
