Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Doesn’t Think Asians Are Smarter Than Anyone Else, Can’t Tell Them Apart

 

 HARRY REID CAN’T TELL RIGHT FROM WONG …

On Friday speaking to the Asian Chamber of Commerce, Harry Reid (D-NV) joked about the stereo-type Asians and then some how thought it was okay to say that he could not keep his Wongs straight as they all looked alike. Are you kidding? Imagine what the fire storm would have been if he said the same thing about blacks? Imagine if these same comments were made by a Republican? There would not be calls for an apology, there would be cries for him to resign.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is making the rounds Friday after video surfaced of him cracking two jokes about Asians at a Las Vegas meeting.

Speaking to the Asian Chamber of Commerce, Reid joked about the stereotype regarding Asian intelligence.

“I don’t think you’re smarter than anyone else, but you’ve convinced a lot of us you are,” he said to chuckles.

Later, when someone mentioned a person with the last name “Wong,” Reid cracked: “One problem that I’ve had today is keeping my Wongs straight.”

National Review reminds us that the hypocrite Harry Reid was quick to go after his 2010 US Senate challenger Sharron Angle when she made an Asian joke:

While on the campaign trail in 2010, Reid criticized Republican challenger Sharron Angle for her own “Asian” comments. Angle came under fire for telling a group of Hispanic students that “some of you look a little more Asian to me.”

UPDATE I: Harry Reid apologizes to Asians over ‘Wong’ comment.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is apologizing for comments he made in “poor taste” about Asian people.

The apology was prompted by remarks he made Thursday to the Asian Chamber of Commerce in Las Vegas and after video was posted by conservative trackers.

On Friday, Reid offered a mea culpa: “My comments were in extremely poor taste and I apologize. Sometimes I say the wrong thing.”

      Harry Reid has absorbed one punch too many when he was boxing. He doesn’t understand the Chinese point of getting the best education so that young people can be successful.

      Every race has people that have great potential. It is how the general culture behaves that leads to good education and smart people.

      Those that have raw and poor culture impede success for the general population. Only a few very determined young people are able to succeed in that environment.
