Kaloogian said:
""I wonder if they (caucus members) have ever considered whether a domestic enemy could possibly be the man that they are honoring," Kaloogian said. "I would think that they would be able to find other role models." "
Those were the harshest words he used.
Not a hint of racism. The part that disturbs Kaloogian wasn't that he was Chinese, it was that he was believed by the government to be a S P Y. He could have been Armenian and Kaloogian still would have found the idea offensive!
If people simply heard Kaloogian, they would know that the hyterical Asian caucus is acting embarrassingly like Jesse Jackson, NAACP under its current leadership, and some black people organizations. The inferiority complex doesn't help advance Asian causes.
A semantic detail: I thought Armenians came from the continent of Asia, which extends west to Turkey. Maybe the "Asian caucus" should rename itself to "Oriental Caucus," since they seem to be comprised exclusively of Oriental or East-Asian Assemblymen.
