“When I was young, some people deliberately misspelled or mispronounced my name,” Chao, who was born in Taiwan, said in a statement to Politico. “Asian Americans have worked hard to change that experience for the next generation.

Trump needs to apologize to Chow Chows for drawing an unflattering comparison to them.
