Rep. Ed Case apologized Wednesday after he claimed at an event for Asian American and Pacific Islander voters that he’s an “Asian trapped in a white body.”

Mr. Case, a Hawaii Democrat, sparked a social media backlash over the reported comment he made Tuesday at a Washington event billed as a “celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander members of the 116th Congress.”

According to National Journal fellow Nicholas Wu, Mr. Case, who represents a majority Asian district in Honolulu, declared at the event, “I’m an Asian trapped in a white body.”

My question is, WHY does Congress have so many racist groups and committees? It is offensive to me that there would be groups like Asian & Pacific Island groups, Black Caucus, etc.

This from the same types who are going after Steve King over remarks....

The hypocrisy is stunning (but that is nothing new)….

Well, if he ientifies as one...

guy can’t be like everyone else and just identify as asian ?

Sorry, I just think that this guy was just making a joke.

Everyone (including ourselves) needs to chill out.

He’s a turducken of white privilege.

Ed Case claims he’s ‘an Asian trapped in a white body’>>>>>>>>>>>

Maybe he is not Asian at all but a constipated idiot who requires disimpacting, he eats with one side of his mouth and sh*ts with the other.

His second wife is Asian, so I guess he thinks that makes him somehow Asian.

And he usually runs against Asians in majority Asian districts, so he has to appease them somehow.

He ran against Hirono twice, I believe.

Tulsi Gabbard's father ran against him as a Republican.

Gabbard Sr didn't win, so he turned Democrat.

As a black, dwarf, lesbian woman named La Quinta, who is trapped in an old, bald headed, white guy body, I approve of this.

Ed Case is Head Case.

‘an Asian trapped in a white body’

And I’m a millionaire trapped in a poor man’s salary. Someone fix this little discrepancy! :)

Really, why apologize? I thought self-identification was the “in” thing.

[wally_bert]

A million dollars isn’t exactly a lot of money these days.

I could live ok for quite some time though on it.

Trans-racial is just as valid as trans-sexual.
