When Amanda Berg heard reports that President Donald Trump mocked the accents of the leaders of South Korea and Japan at a recent fundraiser, it brought back painful memories from her childhood. Berg, a Korean American who grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado, recalled kids doing the “stereotypical pulling at the eyes and the mocking accent.” It made her feel like she was a foreigner in her own community.
Berg, a registered Democrat, is among a growing and crucial bloc of Asian American voters leaning further to the left in the age of Trump, and his stunt, reported by the New York Post, angered her and many others.
Trump has used racist rhetoric to fire up his conservative base ahead of the 2020 election — most notably against four Democratic congresswomen of color. Telling them to “go back” to their home countries triggered widespread outcry last month, but his reported mocking of Asian accents garnered a more tepid reaction.

It was a fund-raiser, for gosh sake. No doubt Tang is one of AP's reporters dedicated to making anything Trump says a mountain out of a molehill. Writing a long article about it and attributing everything he says as racist rhetoric shows how badly they want to discredit the man in an attempt to be rid of him in January 2021. [BTW, the author is identified as a she not a he, or maybe transgender, who knows.]
AP manufacturing fake news.
Hillary did a mock Negro accent, and that was ok. So why outrage about Trump in this instance?
Talk about fake news.
A democrat and leaning further left?
That sounds like a problem for the democrats, come November 2020.
Calling a white male a racist is equivalent to calling a black male the “N” word.
Has evelyone rost theil sense of humol?
Now there's a good old fashioned Korean name if I ever heard one. She must be related to that other great Korean-American Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
Hmmm. Fort Collins, home of Colorado State University. Gee what are the chances that Berg's family has ties that school, probably as professors or administrators.
Oh.
And a fake Indian and a fake Mexican are running for the Democrat nomination.
WTF ever, you false outrage artists.
Get bent.
Terry Tang is a racist rabble-rouser, typical of democrat operatives. President Trump said nothing related to race rhetoric, and a-h*le Tang knows it. Chinese-Americans are divided between liberals and conservatives, just like other groups, and no one should believe what Tang says.
Maybe the rines were crossed.
Come on WTF?!!!?!?!
Have they LOST THEIR MINDS?!??!
We didn’t OWN them and sell their women into slavery at the end of WWII (something I would have personally been for) and rape their entire country of anything of value.
We rebuilt them. So some could move here and spew this garbage.
Well, the Japanese at least.
Terry Tang and his wife Poo.
Reftists are arways angly.
Oh God the horror that someone mocked your accent precious
Well bless your little heart
Try being southern or worse country and southern
And least you got good hair
Democrat activists are offended by President Trump? I’m shocked!
I had a fake accent once.
Obama did a fake negro accent, nobody cared.
Yeah, I forgot the barf alert. Please add it!
