Why do you object to a member of congress attempting to fulfill the will of the people she serves and others?

Isn't that what a member of the House is SUPPOSED to do?

Have you forgotten what the job of members of the House of Representatives really is? Refresher: it's to represent the people of his or her district and advocate for the things that are important to said people.

Although the use of the word 'oriental' has no impact on YOUR life, it does impact others' lives.
Oh brother!!!

calm down. I am ONLY saying we should focus our energy on more important stuff. Shrinking middle class, open border, college debt, screwed up obamacare, insane trade deal, uncontrollable national debt. etc, etc, etc. How about this? Put Asians in college. More productive this way.

Isn't this both parties' way to get asians' vote?? lol why bother trying, most them vote Democrats anyway. But asians are now waking up.

Sure it is. Saying this country should be focusing on important stuff other than banning an ancient word is related to this thread.

As much as I hate Obama, as a person of Asian descent that word IS outdated. Not really a racial slur, but outdated, kind of like Negro. Yes Negro is the best analogy, not THE N word.

However, there are liberals and Democrats who want to ban words like "illegal alien", "illegal immigrant" (many newspapers have banned these terms) and "ghetto" or "anchor baby". Or even "thug". Now THAT is political correctness gone crazy.

Deflection.

What makes you think the people who worked for this law have NOT been involved in other endeavors?


I guess this means you do not believe representatives should work for the people they represent.



ooookay, then

I don't care what "you" think if talking about ME; my ethnicity IS "American" NOT European. Period. If talking race: "white" since I def have pasty skin.

Agreed and how! What's funny is the word "white" has been used to describe us "whiteys" for hundreds of years. "Colored people" ain't PC but, "people of color" is. Yowza!

All restaurants that are advertised as "Oriental" will have to change their names too. And all the reservations and casinos that have the word Indian in them should be closed due to their racist names.
