The editor of a weekly newspaper calling itself “The Voice of Asian America” on Wednesday apologized to community leaders and fired a columnist who wrote a piece titled “Why I Hate Blacks.”
In the piece, which appeared in the Feb. 23 edition of San Francisco-based AsianWeek, contributor Kenneth Eng lists reasons why he supports discrimination against blacks - including because “they are the only race that has been enslaved for 300 years.”
A statement on the newspaper’s Web site said Eng, 22, had been fired.
What if this is some devious ploy by an Asian conspiracy to prove that Asians needn’t be the subject of modern-day educational quotas, because they’re not so smrt after all? YELLOW PERIL!
This must be a clever satire of a common but silly argument. The story doesn’t mention censorship by any government entity. It discusses private outcry.
In any case, Eng must be as canny a satirist as you. I’ll bet he’s kicking himself for failing to add a :) emoticon at the end of his column.
Contrary to media depictions, I would argue that blacks are weak-willed. They are the only race that has been enslaved for 300 years. It’s unbelievable that it took them that long to fight back.
Look, I don’t hate jews.
I’m just saying it strains credibility to imagine that any group could be persecuted for millenia without having done something truly horrible to deserve it. And I think that it’s time they finally come forward, confess, and apologize.
“Interesting,” muttered Dennagon to himself. “The force of gravity is 9.8 meters per second squared on this planet, but not in space. I wonder if ‘space’ actually exists.”
For me this reads like a quote from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
Without even taking his eyes off his book, he casually thrust his fist out, punching a hole straight through the head of one of his enemies as it charged. The decapitated body still handing from his forearm, he merely shifted his fist to the side so that the others could run into it. Expectedly, they did, blasting apart their own skulls against his scaly knuckles.
How is it that Asian periodicals in San Francisco are so hard up for writers that they will publish this guy’s shit? I mean come on, I’ve seen 6th grade school newpaper articles that had more professional form, nevermind the content. He graduated from New York University? Not as a journalist I hope!
How much you want to bet he went through college handing out cards to girls in his classes that read “Kenneth Eng, Novelist”?
And that shit about Rush Hour being racist? WTF? Jackie is THE MAN.
Kenneth Eng obviously has some serious penis envy.
