Here is Sharron Angle speaking to a group of Hispanic students:
"So that’s what we want is a secure and sovereign nation and, you know, I don’t know that all of you are Latino. Some of you look a little more Asian to me. I don’t know that. [Note: it's the Hispanic Student Union. The whole room is Hispanic teenagers.]
Because if you want to win over a group of minorities, your best bet is to go with some variation of "Ah, I can't tell any of you apart!"
What we know, what we know about ourselves is that we are a melting pot in this country. My grandchildren are evidence of that. I’m evidence of that. I’ve been called the first Asian legislator in our Nevada State Assembly."
Yeah, I don't think anyone has ever called you that, Ma'am. I think maybe you heard wrong. Maybe they said you were the first Aging masturbator in the State Assembly. Maybe they said you were the first Crustacean in the State Assembly. Maybe someone said that you were the biggest frustration in the State Assembly.
UPDATE: The Angle campaign says she made that remark about being the first Asian legislator because "a reporter thought she looked Asian."
Has no one in Nevada ever seen an Asian person?
It's not that difficult. Check it out:
Asian Man
Hispanic Man
Asian Lady
White Lady
Crazy Asian Lady
Crazy White Lady
I suppose at this point, Angle should get points for not pulling at the corners of her eyes and chanting "Ching chong, me love you long time!"
UPDATE: Crooks & Liars has the video:
She's even stupider than I thought!
