For the record, I think it's clearer to refer to her as "of Fillipino descent" to make it clear you are making a point about her ethnicity and not her nationality.

I think you're right. That sentence, as it was originally written, does make the point a little more clearly, but I ended up cutting it down for room. To be honest, I didn't think this line - in a column where I flatly say I think the Clintons are swingers - would get that much attention. But you're correct as to the point, and I'll put that line back as it was originally.

Thanks for the heads up. That's why I post here; you guys challenge me, and make me better. (To the extent I can be better, anyway.)
