16. when will conservatives get it that she's just a regular racist?
She hides behind her supposed "asian" race when saying it was right for the Japanese to be put in camps--"Of course I'm coming at this from a rational stand point; I can't be racist against Asians, since I'm asian as well." What no one seems to take note of, however, is that she is Filipino and the internees were Japanese.

The Japanese were extremely brutal to the Philippines (Bantam death march, anyone?), so it would be no stretch of the imagination to think she has a great hatred for the Japanese (or Japanese-Americans, as in the case of the camps).

Her claiming to not be a bigot against the Japanese because she's "asian" like they are, is like a European Jew saying Germans should be put in camps and then denying any bigotry or vengeance by saying "Hey, I'm a European, just like them!"
