The Los Angeles Times reports that Fox News host Bob Beckel, who co-hosts The Five and has been associated with the Democratic Party for decades, is under fire from a Democratic state senator for making an allegedly racist comment about Chinese people.
Democratic state Sen. Ted Lieu of Torrance released a statement on Saturday calling for Fox to drop Beckel after Beckel said during a Thursday episode of The Five, "As usual, we bring them over here and teach a bunch of Chinamen--Chinese people--how to do computers and then they go back to China and hack into us.”
Beckel’s comment was in reference to a New York Times article about Chinese hackers, who breached the computer networks of a U.S. government agency that stores the personal information of everyone who works for the government.
Lieu noted that Beckel’s comment was the second time he had made ill-considered remarks about Chinese people; in 2013, Beckel said on The Five that one time he had gone swimming, and afterward his “eyes blew up" and "it made me look Oriental.”

“Nothing’s wrong with “Chinaman” or “Chink” or “Gook” or “Slope” “Slant””
—
I still don’t see Chinaman being a slur anymore that I consider Irishman a slur.
I truly don’t get it-—they are just descriptives.
.
Lacist.
I agree with you.
First off, an apology for saying the following: “Chink” is an insult. “Gook” is an insult. “Slope” is an insult. “Slant” is an insult. Again sorry for posting them, but it is a response to the original post.
“Chinaman” isn’t the same as the others.
It is vaguely insensitive, but not really. About like calling a white person “whitey”.
At least that is my opinion.
Lighten up, Francis
No, problem, little lady. Don’t you worry your pretty little head about this kinda man talk anyhow....
nnnnyaaah, let them suffer their own poisons....
“Ted Loo”
That wasn’t a snide reference to the British term for toilet, was it? Heh, heh!
Anyway, to Ted Lieu we say, “Rots of ruck!”
;^)
I saw that episode and laughed as the others rolled their eyes, as in "there goes Beckel again!". It was at the tail-end of the show and the others were probably glad it was over. I dislike Beckel and think he's off-base with his retorts 90 percent of the time, but this was an innocent slip of his tongue. They need to keep him just to show how liberals are morons.
“...bunch of Chinamen...”
Racist? Really? Heh.
Glenn Beck wears round spectacles that make him look like Hideki Tojo.
Now about Ted Lieu; is he selling rocket launchers and machine guns on the black market?
Chinaman.
Irishman.
Scotsman.
Englishman.
Frenchman.
Beckel is a racist and a chauvinist. His co-hosts were shocked when he let the “chinamen” word slip. And it was a slip.
And the 6” heel tramps on there apparently love his sexist remarks toward them.
I don’t like Beckel, but there is no offense here.
Irishman = Irish .......... Scotsman= Scot ............. Englishman = Brit ......... Frenchman = Frog ........ ..... Chinaman = Chink
Works for me! :)
I love Milkbone.
Lieu isn’t the guy in trouble with the FBI for gun running is he? They all look alike to me...
In lieu of common sense....
