Biden explains Indian-Americans remark

MSNBC ^ | 7/9/06 | AP

We did elect one that Plugged anything that moved.

[norton]

"Biden explains Indian-Americans remark..."

Which tribe did he insult (out of context)?
I only heard about the 7-11 South Asians remark.

[BnBlFlag]

While I don't think his remark was "racist", I do believe the MSM has a huge double standard on this and if a Republican had said anything like this he would be hounded from office. (I'm sick of false "racism" accusations against guilt ridden Whites who are too cowed to stand up for themselves.)

[sawmill trash]

I believe Joe has "defecated in his mess kit"

[Utah Binger]

Seems to me I've heard that said by someone else before....

Good one! There must have been a footnote. Certainly an attribution...Or did the dumb bastard do it again?

[abercrombie_guy_38]

Hilarious comment, Joe.

I bet he would have a lot more after spending a few hours on Air India, though. What a night of hell. Hey, it was the cheapest way to get to the UK and part of a package deal.

[clintonh8r]

If he were a GOPer the MSM would have foced him into resignation by now. And had him enrolled in a sensitivity seminar....

[Thumper1960]

What Joe-Joe, the ever smiling charmer from a small state known for virtually nothing:
"I'm not a bigot! Some of my best friends are brown skinned Indians. Why, I enjoy going into a 7-11 and talking with them in their own lingo. I really think those little sequins their women wear on their foreheads make them so hot! Just kidding!"

It's everywhere. I used to work for a very large hotel franchise system, and no joke, something like 40% of our franchisees were named Patel. It's hell for the database folks, that's for sure.

Well, the database folks are probably now located in Bombay or Calcutta so they get to handle it.

Which tribe did he insult (out of context)?

Indian-Americans are people from India who have immigrated to America or descendent's of people from India who have immigrated to America

American Indians are decedents of the pre Columbus inhabitants of the Americas.

"We did elect one that Plugged anything that moved."

LOL, no kidding. And probably some things that DIDN'T move.

[garyhope]

I stayed in a motel in some place out of High Point, NC, managed by Indians or Pakistanis.

Same thing for Colorado City, Texas, out in the middle of nowhere.

They're everywhere.

[A. Goodwin]

American Indians are decedents of the pre Columbus inhabitants of the Americas.

There's a joke in there somewhere, I think...

(decedent: the person who has died)

[Huck]

Ha! That's probably true. When I was there, I outsourced my own department to India. I preferred working with them. I wanted to be the customer, and I wanted to get it at an affordable price. It was a love fest between me and my Hindus. I still get emails from some of them, and I've been out of the business for a while now.

As a director, I had no real leverage against employees. It was too much of a hassle to try to get rid of someone. By outsourcing, you had much more control. I thought that having a little bit of the team inside, and some of the labor-intensive parts outside, the company got the best of both worlds. But I hated that crap and am infinitely thankful to have nothing to do with it now.

...Biden is known as one of the more long-winded senators.

Biden is a moron.

It's true that Indians run 7-11 and Dunkin Doughnuts stores, but it's the way this jerk said it that wasn't funny, but typically flat.

Biden and Hillary must have takent he same correspondence course on "How To Talk Stupidly."

I hope I made it clear that there's certainly nothing "racist" (I hate that term) about what dummy said.

Also, I don't like Biden. He lied about his education about 20 years ago and inferred that he was the smartest man in the senate.

We all knew that was incorrect. Bobby Byrd holds that honor.
