so hes ethnically Korean SO WHAT?
thats a maybe tad racist isnt it?
Ah, an act of microagression by Mr Trump. I’m sure this will resonate deeply in middle America and his poll numbers will plunge /s
I saw that and I don’t care.
What is it with identity politics among skull-full-of-mush American school children?
Forget the term “racist” which no longer has any concrete meaning. Did Trump correctly ascertain where the guy was coming from? Yes he did.
almost a billion bucks? wow. We have jets that cost more.
this ORIENTAL can go to hell.
Go Trump.
I’m sure that costs Trump lots of votes.
the ORIENTALS are going to vote dem anyway so @#$ em.
what on earth did where he was from.. have to do with his question??
it wasnt an egregious affront.. just inappropriate to the matter at hand.
is that how a leader handles himself? ah no
“When we had that steak dinner, you didn’t pay a dime. I paid for it.”
“Not true. I left a 15% tip.”
Now I do not care who you are voting for that post was funny. This should be a interesting thread.
Why are the two true commie countries left an Asian country and a Hispanic Country?
People often assume Asians are conservative voters. But the majority of Asians support gun control, the police state and other big government projects.
On somewhat conservative issues, Asians only agree on black-on-asian crime.
Trump should interrupt any know-it-all teenager/youth who talks trash to Trump.
Boo hoo.
Trump’s follow up question should have been: Are your parents from Korea? If Choe answered yes, he is still considered a Korean citizen by Korea.
In other words, legally he is Korean (dual national with U.S.).
Donald responded to him that the $860 million is peanuts to what the USA spends to protect S. Korea and what it allows in its trade deficit.
I think Donald has competent people who fact check everything he puts out. I’ll stay with Donald.
LOL!!
I’m married to a Chinese woman. Asian issues matter avove all others to most of them (sorry, but it’s true).
What Mr Trump did was not uncalled for, no matter how you spin it.
After many years of marriage, I can’t identify different origins of Asians visually. The kid was talking of very specific Korean issues, so it is natural to assume Korean ethnicity.
IF I identified myself as a Czech and then asked a question about eastern europe, would anyone be out of their mind to ask me if i were from the Czech republic??
Nope.
Okay they already tried the trump-is-racist-against-blacks and trump-is-racist-against-hispanics. It was only a matter of time until we got trump-is-racist-against-asians.
So let me see if I understand the “controversy”... an asiatic student asks Donald Trump a question about South Korea and Donald Trump is “in trouble” for inquiring if the student is from there. Did I miss something? That’s ridiculous.
People of the northeast past a certain age will remember that there were ethnic blocks throughout the northeast and asking people where they were from or what was their ethnicity is (asked as What are you?) was commonplace.
