Hey John Liu, you don't represent me.
I'm a little late with this news, but recently City Councilman John C. Liu recently wrote a letter to Barbera Walters for a comment that Rosie O'Donnell made on The View in which she made various chings and chongs in order to describe how chinese people talk.
Rosie being the nice person that she is, sort of apologized for the matter. Really Rosie, you didn't have to. It has always been my personal opinion that the intent of the usage dictates if it should be offensive or not. To make certain words taboo only empowers them to be more hurtful when used.
Councilman Liu, you do not represent me. This isn't the first time the good Councilman has went out of the way to defend a small almost non-issue and generating buzz for himself. If he was such a great advocate for the success of asian minorities, why not go into the chinatowns and koreatowns and encourage them to actually intergrate into american society instead of segregating themselves?
Maybe if they did, people wouldn't have to ching and chong their way through describing a chinese person and can concentrate on the real positive features like our slanted eyes, small penises and massive ability to count without calculators.
John Liu, you only pick easy targets, fights that you can win. You disgust me by saying you represent me.
What about the black market asian slave smuggling going on, or the child prostitution going on in various asian countries around the world? What about addressing the massive video and computer piracy that happens in asian countries? Why not tackle those issues.
Leave the poor ching chongy lesbian alone.

Allen sometimes when you are right you really hit the proverbial nail on the head (and sometimes I really wonder...). Politicians will always use whatever media they can get. Like every other person in office or running for a spot in one, they will sell their soul just to get a taste of power.
Oh, and I think the Asians will eventually spread out into society as they become more comfortable. It’s kind of like the Italians it just took them a heck of a long time to finally mix in.

I totally agree, as a Chinese American, this dude just totally rubs me the wrong way. Some other blog called him the Chinese Al Sharpton and they are right.
I really don't know who Mr. Liu works for, he is constantly in the news fighting for the rights of the illegal Chinese immigrants, the delivery guys that get robbed and murdered, that Toys R Us Anchor baby. Maybe Mr. Liu should stop taking all those donations from the Fujianese snakeheads and association heads and get back to helping the legal citizens of this city.
