‘Political Innuendo’ Out of Place in Column
- Share via
I am perturbed by the “Hot Property” column’s political innuendo about Lee Baca’s foreign government-paid trip and subtle references to Asian campaign contributions and his Asian girlfriend’s fund-raising assistance.
If Ruth Ryon wants to do political commentary, do so openly, not surreptitiously, and do so in another section.
The article only serves to resurrect the 19th century demonized Chinese stereotype and to add to the current anti-Chinese/Chinese American bias in the United States, especially in the post-Cox Report times.
