Senator Biden Mocks Indian-American Minority
As seen on drudgereport.com, during June 17 2006 Democratic Senator Joesph Biden from Deleware insulted the indian minority population of Deleware by saying in jest or truthfully that all the dunkin donuts of his state are run by indians and you need to speak indian before you go in, feeding into a horrible stereotype, showing a closed mindness not expected from an offical of such a high office and possible 2008 presidential canidate. He is the top democrat of the Foreign relations committe of the senate, so such comments are puzzling, I suppose he figured no one watches C-span but he forget C-span caters to the blogger generation. You can read about this at the following website http://www.drudgereportarchives.com/dsp/search.htm?searchFor=biden . I urge you all so basically John, that read my blog to pass along this and email him for a formal apology rather then saying his qoute was out of context, I want him to go on ZeeTv (Indian BET) and do like Trent Lott and tell about his love for Indians. So email him at http://biden.senate.gov/contact/emailjoe.cfm for a truly formal apology. Us indians are fairly apathetic thinking that this is how america is be abused and mocked for 100yrs then get repriations, well i'm tired of this over 20+ yrs of looking the other way and laughing each time giving back a piece of my soul no more this time its to far he needs to apologize, just like catholics being upset by 'Da Vinci Code' or the Brooklyn art museum piece. So if you have a conscience you will email him and pass this information along.
