Bless you all
Come on, this is ridiculous. The GOP is carping about this term? Really?
This total irrelevant bullshit from the GOP keeps up and I'll vote for Space Monkeys.
It's becoming embarrassing and tedious to support a party (GOP) that is becoming as stupid as the party (Dems) I didn't like to begin with.
Our country is screwed if this is the best we have (from either).
Vice President Joe Biden refers to Asia as 'the Orient' after apologizing for 'shylocks' remark
Oops...Joe Biden did it again.
Hours after the vice president apologized for his "poor choice of words" when he used "shylocks" to refer to money lenders during a speech Tuesday, it seems Biden made another poor choice.
This time Biden referred to Asia as "the Orient" during a speech in Des Moines, Iowa, Wednesday.
"You know, on the way back from Mumbai to go meet with President Xi in China, I stopped in Singapore to meet with a guy named Lee Kuan Yew, who most foreign policy experts around the world say is the wisest man in the Orient," Biden said at the kickoff for the "Nuns on the Bus" tour, ABC News reports.
The Republican National Committee responded by saying the term "Orient" was loaded with "unacceptable imperialist undertones," New York Daily News reports. "Vice President Joe Biden's insensitive remarks are offensive to both Asian-Americans and our Asian allies abroad," said Ninio Fetalvo, the Republican National Committee Asian American and Pacific Islander spokesman, in a statement, The Washington Post reports. "His comment is not only disrespectful but also uses unacceptable imperialist undertones."
