[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Are all D.C.'s "dirty Asian" residents also mourn the loss of Barry? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/13/dirty-asian-punch-marion-barry_n_1882226.html[/quote] Your link goes to an article about a drink served by a bar. Here is what Barry actually said: “We’ve got to do something about these Asians coming in, opening up businesses, those dirty shops,” he said in the course of laying out his vision for the ward. “They ought to go. I’ll just say that right now, you know. But we need African American businesspeople to be able to take their places, too.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/dcs-marion-barry-widely-rebuked-for-comments-about-asian-business-owners/2012/04/05/gIQA27SVyS_story.html You will note that the phrase "dirty Asian" doesn't appear. That doesn't mean that what does appear is acceptable -- it's not -- but accuracy is important. BTW, Barry, who was not one to apologize generally, apologized for that statement. [/quote]
