A few years back, there was a local election where a candidate (a Democratic one, actually) would go on the radio and say “Godless Chinese communists” all the time. It was his go-to line and it seemed to help him in the polls, though he ultimately lost, fortunately.
Jeb’s latest, along with Scott Walker’s recent stupidity about the Chinese market crash and the tense situation on the Korean obrder, makes me wonder if Asia-bashing is going to be a big part of this presidential election (or at least the Republican primary):
When asked if he thought his repeated use of the term “anchor babies” – a derogatory term for children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrant parents – Bush said: “What I was talking about was the specific case of fraud being committed where there’s organized efforts, and frankly, it’s more related to Asian people coming into our country and having children in that organized effort.”
