Well, she looks like she should be running with the rest of the herd at Yellowstone Park, so I figured she could get away with things like 'Yellow Menace', 'Ching Chongs' or 'Skillet Face' first.

Hey, I lived with and almost married one. I take a free pass on that.

I have limited sympathy for Asians. Their kids are treated like crap by our educational system, with standards being vastly higher for Asians to attend the same schools as whites and minorities.

...yet they continue to support Democrats, and in percentages approaching that of Jewish support.

Makes ZERO sense, and probably says as much about Republican efforts to reach them...for that matter.

The racism punishment scale is peculiar in this country. If a photo of you in black face turns up from 20 years ago, you are erased and can never work again. If you spout racist views against Asians currently, it’s a two week suspension.

What she was doing with her personal email is far more troubling to my mind...

Why is it ok to say “black kids” but it’s racist to say “yellow kids”?

I’m wondering if the comments are a cover for the email issue.

I’m glad all the School Board did was suspend her for two meetings (as opposed to remove her). Still the punishment was excessive. She called Asians “yellow.” I wasn’t even aware this is considered by some to be an insult.

Asian people range in color, and not even east Asians are actually yellow. Nevertheless, yellow is the color of Asia on the Olympic rings (well, according to some).

Similarly, African people range in color. This particular person’s color is brown, not black. Yet, she and other African Americans are described as black. (Curiously, light-skinned African Americans are sometimes called yellow.)

I suspect there was some resentment to Asians, because of their family values, hard work, willingness to save, and entrepreneurial spirit. All of these things used to be strong in the black community, prior to the liberalization of welfare during the 1960s. (I am aware other things happened during that tumultuous time.)

Many Africans see immigrants coming to this country, and quickly move up to, even overtake the whites (which, by the way, does not exactly describe the color of people of European origin). Most recently, Afro-Caribbeans and immigrants from Africa. It must be galling to see one after another immigrant group move up, and now black immigrants, when you’re stuck in dysfunctional communities.

All I can say is that, thanks to Trump, we’re changing things. We’re anxious to share the American Dream with all of our fellow citizens. We’ve made a good start during his first term, and will advance the cause during his second.

She called them “yellow folks” and “yellow children”. Hey, if Theresa Heinz Kerry can say “little brown children” and Trayvon Martin say “crazy white @ss”, why can’t this gal say “yellow children”?
