If Republicans were smart, they’d tie this anti-Asian racism to Obama, just as Akin was tied to Romney, but no... we’re too busy making sure we only get ‘electable conservatives’. Can’t have another Christine O’Donnell, you know!
I am of Chinese descent.
I will say that any politican defending anything chinese IS A LOSING PROPOSITION.
Let's look at our Michigan 2012 senate candidate ok. He ran a really stupid 2012 super bowl ad smearing chinese. Did any republican or democrat really make much of this ? Not really because bashing Chinese is good politics.
Blacks don't like chinese because the value system is really different. Most americans don't like chinese because next to jews, they are the highest income group. America does not like the chinese stuff at walmart. They don't like chinese for overrunning all the prestige schools in the US (Cal Tech is 40% oriental, the flagship UC schools at Berkeley and UCLA are 50% oriental).
Frankly, anyone who says bad stuff about Chinese will probably go up in the polls.
