Apparently the dear lady was upset that her son wasn't doing very well in Tuesday's primary election.
""Go to hell PALISADES PARK, let the GD Koreans have this F'n town," Lorraine Rotundo wrote, according to the newspaper. "All of us AMERICANS are so done. I am going to suggest that only English be spoken in our Boro Hall at least while an AMERICAN is still the mayor."
There is not one iota of anything racist there,,, just plain old freedom of speech that everyone, in the name of equality, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Seriously, Palisades Park is something like 40% Korean as of the last census. That number most certainly will be over at next counting and likely sooner or later to reach 50%.
People like Mrs. Rotundo need to make up their minds to those facts, and bear it as best they can. This woman certainly didn't do her son any favors. Even if he does squeak a win, in four or whatever years when re-election time comes people have long memories.
"I hate (insert race here)" for some people to view it as racism.
"Koreans" is not a race. Ukrainians don't like Russians, nobody likes Germans, Turks hate Israelis, Israelis can't stand Arabs, Argentinians are despised in South America, ... Made in USA.

Racist ...
Bigoted...
Replace Koreans with any of the things you mentioned and it's still bad.
"Let those Jews have Highland Park."
Bad if not worse.
"Let those Russians have Fair Lawn."
Doesn't sound as bad, but no way you're gonna win any kind of an election.
This is what people who deny racism do. They nitpick. As if the semantics is the point of contention here.

Rotundo told the paper he told his mother to delete the Facebook post.
Don't you have to be a citizen to vote!!?? Isn't everyone who votes technically an AMERICAN?
If her son is not representing the voting constituency, he will be voted out as he should be.
