President Barack Obama on Wednesday urged Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders to fight bigotry and to press Congress to update U.S. immigration policy.

Obama said America’s tradition is to welcome newcomers because it was founded by immigrants. He said that tradition also makes difficult to understand why some people are blocking efforts to overhaul U.S. immigration laws.

“We don’t simply welcome new immigrants. We are born of immigrants,” Obama told hundreds attending the Asian Pacific American Institute of Congressional Studies’ annual awards dinner.

How about the Democrats stop the bigotry that keeps high achieving Asians from attending the best colleges?

And how about Asians waking up to the travesty that is the Democrat Party and either going independent or maybe registering Republican.

So much unrelenting stupidity.

A lot of Asians appreciate a police state and gun bans. I don’t know how many but certainly more than mostly white Republicans.

Hussein obama should be working on his foreign policies and telling other leaders to allow everyone to cross their border illegally, and not to arrest anyone

One of the most fascinating phenomena in recent years I've come across is the Asian-American Social Justice Warrior.

I think it's a strange combination of the drive to succeed-and in contemporary society, striving is synonymous with acceptance and regurgitation of culturally Marxist bs-and the complete extermination of any non-collectivist thought from America's universities.

Lots of Chinese here in Eastern MA——a big difference from 15-20 years ago.

Good citizens.

If Asians are the victims of such bigotry why are they doing so much better than Hispanics and Blacks?

They are so smart that college admissions discriminate against them, but I don’t think that’s what Barry is talking about.

It seems like our first gay president has to do something new and embarrassing each day.

Even if he weren’t president his daughters have an easier time to get into college than Asian kids and he wants them to join democrat identity politics. I really can’t understand how liberals have been able to keep this charade for decades.

Anyone mention that 99% of the vocal and frequently violent racism against Asians is exhibited by blacks? How dare they come into the hood and open service businesses! And succeed!
