Lindsey Graham (Racist-South Carolina) has made sure that the GOPers have them all covered. Blacks, Hispanics, Europeans, Arabs, Asians. The flavour du jour is Japanese.
That Pelosi woman, it seems, is hell bent on sending our Congresscritters on a kamikaze mission.

"Nancy Pelosi, I think, has got them all liquored up on sake and you know, they're making a suicide run here," Graham said Monday during a call to the Keven Cohen Show on WVOC radio in Columbia, S.C.
Not long ago, it was the Congresswoman from Texas, Betty Brown, who suggested that those of Chinese and Korean descent should change their names so that "Americans" could manage them better. She was referring to voters who complained of the incorrect spellings on shoddily-assembled voter lists, making it difficult for them to vote.
They are not "American" enough for her even though they have voting rights as "you and your citizens". 'Cos we all know that Wu Ling is so much harder to pronounce and spell than Arnold Schwarzenegger.
In the 2008 elections, Congressman Erik Paulsen (R-Minnesota) declared in truly subtle GOPerese that his opponent Ashwin Madia was "not one of us". A Marine and Iraq war veteran of Indian descent, Madia is light enough to serve the country, but too dark to run for office, apparently.

A Republican attack ad invites viewers to "meet the real Ashwin Madia," but the still photos featured in the spot present a noticeably darker version of the 3rd District DFL congressional candidate.
"At least three of the photos of Madia were obviously darkened, using one method or another," public affairs and media consultant Dean Alger told KARE 11.
Oh, let's not forget poster boy Bobby Jindal who once had strict specifications at a fundraising dinner for Indian donors: "Western attire only". Gotta keep the bubbas happy.
I'm of Indian origin and I just wanted to refresh the memory of those of us from Asia about where we really stand with the Republicans. While there are just about 2 million Asian-American registered voters, we have the highest per capita income among any ethnic group in the U.S.
Asian-Americans have traditionally turned to party funding to exert influence. The GOPers know that, but they just can't help themselves. Hence, they keep digging.
