Wait a minute Tammy! Five of his cabinet nominees are of Jewish heritage. Therefore their ancestors were from the land of Israel until they were forced out by the Romans or Arabs or Turks. Israel is located on the continent of Asia. So do these five nominees not count as Asian-Americans? Or do only certain Asia countries count to Tammy? Would she count those people whose parents came from eastern Russia or Armenia or Georgia as Asian-Americans? Kind of like how white South African in the US are not allowed to be “African-Americans” even though there families might have lived in Africa for over 300 years.

Ahem. By "diversity nominees", Tammy Suckworthless means "non-white", so NEITHER pasty white Ashkenazi Jews with relatives in Israel, NOR populations of poor white slavic people like Siberians or Georgians from the old Soviet satellite states would count as "asians" in her mind.


Most Americans wouldn't consider any of those people to be "Asian", either. Yes, technically they come from what is geographically part of the continent of "Asia", but some white Russians from Novosibirsk (see photo above) calling themselves "asian" would be akin to someone who has lived in the Yucatan region of Mexico their entire life telling everyone they're an "American citizen", and justifying it by saying Mexico is part of the continent of North America.

It's no different than how "Semetic" means a group of middle eastern languages, which INCLUDES arabic, but whenever anyone uses the term "anti-semetic" now, they only use it in the context of meaning "anti-Jewish". Why they don't simply say "non-Jewish" is a mystery to me. It's silly to call Palestinians "anti-semetic" because you are basically saying they are bigoted against themselves, but hey, the same is true when they use to bash Tom Tancredo (an Italian-American) as an "anti-Latino" politician.

In any case, whenever the term "asian" is used in western culture, we always know it refers to the following types of ethnic groups: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Vietnamese, Bangladeshi, east India, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Burmese, Cambodian, Filipino, Hmong, Indonesian, Laotian, Malaysian, Singaporean, Thai, etc. Again, people of Isreali ancestry or white slavic eastern European cultures that technically reside in the continent of "Asia" don't make the list.

But in any case, Suckworthless vowing to be "No on everything" until she gets her way is music to my ears. Let's hope the b!tch really means it and isn't just posturing. I'd love to see her vote with the GOP to stop a bunch of worthless Biden hacks from being confirmed.
