    She can't be racist because she's black.

    Vivek comments: I wonder what they’d do if a white Republican intentionally mispronounced Donna’s name & then told her to return “home.”

    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/asian-american-foundation-slams-donna-brazile-for-mispronouncing-ramaswamy-s-name/ar-AA1kkm4o?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=8054702e9c444a48bf3ab35e70726cbe&ei=17

        “Refusing to pronounce someone’s name correctly & telling them to ‘go home’ furthers the perpetual foreigner myth, fostering anti-immigrant sentiment that AAPIs do not belong in the U.S,” the Asian American Foundation wrote in a post Monday on X, formerly known as Twitter. “AAPI names are not punchlines & we expect public figures to use their platforms responsibly.“

        I join with all other TNCR orientals in solidarity with this outrage. Our voices WILL be heard, and you WILL pronounce our names correctly. Ax. TEE GEE. ZEEnon. HORISS.

        Education is extremely important.

          I don't think the "go home" was racist, but do find the double standard if someone called our VP Camel-a Harris, I'd imagine Donna wouldn't have the same flippant attitude.

            Nice to get a white male’s opinion. /s

            Maybe do less talking, and more listening. Your lived experience is inadequate to the task of contributing to this discussion.

              British-born black comedian Lenny Henry famously said - “Enoch Powell says he wants to give me £1,000 to go back to where I came from. Which is great, because it’s only 20 pence on the bus from here to Dudley”

              I was only joking
