(135,425 posts)You've got to ask yourself, "How fucking stupid is this guy?" though, that he even SAID THOSE WORDS.
It's not just the racism--though that's a big piece of it--but the rank stupidity.
If someone tells me that their family has a history of military service going back to the American Revolution, I believe them. I don't question their racial background. First, it's easily checked, so only a hit-and-run idiot is going to lie about that kind of thing. Second, we're a very swirly nation nowadays. You can look like Mao and be related to Washington--you don't have to wear a bad wig and have wooden teeth!
