Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:

    >>Second, there is a pervasive pattern of second generation Asian males with severe personality disorders. In their home culture, represented by the parents, they are little princes on pedestals who can do no wrong.

    Wow. Way to generalize an entire group of people. Why not quote from "Mein Kampf" or "Birth of a Nation" while you're at it? Why not talk about how Jews are greedy moneygrubbers or how African-Americans are lazy, ignorant welfare queens? Hey, don't forget the good ol' Latino stereotype of being drug-runners and willing to sell their sisters for sex. Any other racist ramblings you'd care to share with us, mypiratecaptain?
