Your comment seems to come from no where... what are they hated for? What are the issues do NYCers have towards Chinese? There are a fair amount of successful Chinese politicians nationwide including the former Washington governor Gary Locke. I do not see that Chinese are hated more than other groups in this country.

I don't recall anti-Chinese posts on this forum.

I would have voted for him, in fact I liked him even before the mayoral race started but then that scandal made me think twice. Prior, he seemed to be one who wanted to make changes for the good. Now that scandal made him look like another corrupt politician.

I think they are all corrupt politicians and we will, once again, find ourselves choosing what seems to be the least evil in a sea of such.

I am completely undecided about the election except that I would never, ever vote for Quinn.

Regarding Chinese-haters - many Americans hate and resent China, for reasons that demonstrate how dumb Americans really are politically. Again.

I have encountered few people in New York who harbor hatred for the Chinese living here.

Yes, this is it--they have been looking for a long time and found nothing. Maybe it really was just those campaign workers.

The election is boiling down to choosing a not-Quinn candidate to rally around and they are all OK as far as I'm concerned.

"Chinaman?" Boy, haven't heard that one in a while.
