Shut up. The voters of Wichita put this guy in office. Why does every thread here become a display of racist ignorance?

take it easy... the affirmative action crack was too easy I had to take it.

That aside I know nothing about the mayor of Witchita, I'm sure he's done a fine job. Hell the mayor of Pittsburgh has bankrupted us beyond belief. You cabn take all the shots you want. His name is Tom Murphy, he's a democrat, Irish American heritage, he's soft spoken, cries a lot, wears glasses... fire away.

You're right, the voters elected this guy and he represents them. Personally, I would want someone that the people can understand to represent me. Now that is not racist, that is just desiring someone who has the common courtesy to learn the language so that one can communicate effectively. That thick of an accent and stumbling over proper wording is just plain distracting and hurts the message.

Before you flame me, you should know that I came close to marrying a beautiful Vietnamese woman I dated for years and I have worked for nearly 20 years with a predominantly minority workforce. One can't do that if one is a racist.

If you find an answer to this question, could you ping me? It really is discouraging.
