SACRAMENTO, Calif. Rush Limbaugh's imitation of the Chinese language during a recent speech made by Chinese President Hu Jintao has stirred a backlash among Asian-American lawmakers in California and nationally.
California state Sen. Leland Yee, a Democrat from San Francisco, is leading a fight in demanding an apology from the radio talk show host for what he and others view as racist and derogatory remarks against the Chinese people.

This happened 9 days ago. It took this long for the commies to find an Asian useful idiot to speak out against him?
To: downtownconservative
Yawn... did they ask for an apology from NBC for its SNL parody of Hu Jintao, in which they also featured a whitey speaking fake Chinese?

You are an American, you know that every ethnic group has at one time or another been, either the idiot or the villain in the public media, especially Hollywood. The Irish were considered trash, the Germans were spies and worse, Italians were Mafia, white Southerners are rednecks, etc. In the scheme of things Hollywood has treated Asians pretty well. As a child, I loved western movies and the orientals were portrayed as gentle, hard working, people.

Hu had his pianist/singer he'd brought along with him sing a song in praise of Chicom soldiers who appear to have prevailed over our own in the Korean War.
That's down right crude ~ typical of the kind of humor you find in the Chinese hinterland among the yak herders.
But still humorous, and ballsy.
Rush ain't no thang compared to what Hu did.
The fact Yee is whining about it proves what so many of us believe about him ~ that he's a Chicom toady who should be run out of office.

I'm So Ronery
So ronery
So ronery and sadry arone

Seems like no one takes me serirousry
And so I'm ronery
A rittle ronery

Feel rike a bird in a cage

Because it's fihring my body with rage
I'm the smartest most crever most physicarry fit
But nobody else seems to rearize it
When I change the world maybe they'll notice me
But until then I'rr just be ronery
Rittle ronery, poor rittle me

My ancestors are either portrayed as drunken brawlers or as leprechauns.
You don't see the Irish running around like hypersensitive pussies every time someone tells them to stop chasing their Lucky Charms.
Stop being a pussy.

Some people have no sense of humor.
Try being a German-American in a post WWI & WWII world. Lots of chances to mimic the gutteral Germanic language and Herr Hitler. Some of the things have humor, but others are so stupid, you would think folks believe Germany had no history before 1934.
Try to look up German history in a library or on the internet, and the first 10,000 hits are about Nazis.
But, that’s not the worst of it. The stupid liberals in Hollywood are still making movies about terrorists and depicting them as neo-Nazis (German types) - never once do they depict terrorists as Middle-Easterners with Islamic ties. And, these folks get off the hook by the media who depict them as “Asians”.
Back to round one. Maybe the Asian caucus ought to be offended that Islamic terrorists are lumped in with their more peace-loving group - and leave Rush out of it. Go after the MSM, if you really want to be offended.

I'm Jewish and most of my Great-great grandparents came over from Poland. My wife has Irish and Italian ancestory. All the cheap Jew/dumb Polack/Italian gangster/drunken Irish, we've heard 'em all, been there done that. And to all you hypersensitive "Asian-American" lawmakers all I can say is Ah so, so solly! excuse prease!Asian-American, African-American, Hispanic-American, etc, never mind the crosshairs and gun references, when will we ban the damn hyphen, that's more divisive and destructive than uncivility. BTW anyone want a good laugh, check this site out: http://engrish.com/

Yes, Many of the Bugs Bunny cartoons and 3 Stooges movies done during WWII are a good example. If the North Koreans,Viet Cong, radical Muzzies, were depicted in the same fashion the new castrotti politically correct "not sees" would be screaming bloody murder.
