Just thought I’d archive some (more) ignorance: This is a copy of the controversial opinion piece by Kenneth Eng in Asian Week magazine: Here is a list of reasons why we should discriminate against blacks, starting from the most obvious down to the least obvious: • Blacks hate us.

Video of Kanye West’s Rant on NBC
