VIDEO: Fox guest pulls eyes to side to imitate Chinese people

thinkprogress.org — On Fox News' Hannity and Colmes Sunday, guest Rod Wheeler said recent reports of local police in Arizona identifying a criminal suspect as Hispanic did not qualify as racial-profiling. police identified "the suspect as being a Hispanic male. Not a black male. Not a Chinese male, with his eyes like this (pulls eyes to side), but a Hispanic male."

    • tucsonsun13, on 11/14/2007, -5/+16so THAT's what asians look like! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!
    • Bridea, on 11/14/2007, -20/+4Pssst, "Faux" is pronounced [foh] or (fō), not [foks]
    • ayeroxor, on 11/14/2007, -13/+14I'm a left-of-centrist, but BFD. Newsflash to the PC-blinded: Asians have narrow eyes, and they have been known to call occidentals "round-eyes". "OMG END OF WORLD" it isn't.

      • Aneurhythmia, on 11/14/2007, -7/+10Where are you quoting "OMG END OF WORLD" from? You come across as overly defensive...
        • ayeroxor, on 11/14/2007, -4/+2For your information, and that of your simple-minded ilk, I was paraphrasing. And for future reference, I don't really care how I "come across" to the simple-minded.
      • BassCadet, on 11/14/2007, -12/+14I agree. Why is this on Digg? Big f*cking deal. Asians have different eyes than us round-eyes. The topic of the show is how to express the ethnicity of a suspect - if someone has to "make the Chinese face" with their fingers to help express to someone how to find a killer, that's fine by me. This is a lame-ass submission to Digg.
        • Escamotage, on 11/14/2007, -0/+2Because NOT ALL Asians have slanted eyes, therefore it's a STEREOTYPE, you naive *****.

    • bingobongony, on 11/14/2007, -7/+6Do you not realize, tury2k that YOUY look like a ***** idiot with this comment ? This guy was not being racist in ANY way,m shape or form. He was pointing out that it WOULD be racist if the report in the incident had done somethig like that. He was merely pointing out that that is a racist stereotype.
      If you said "Calling a black person a ***** is racist", does that make YOU a racist because you said hte word *****? Because that is what happened here. He made a gesture that he said would havce been racist.
    • chenyu768, on 11/14/2007, -1/+4what really sucks is that Asian's will let this ***** go, but hispanics and african americans would unite and force a resignation or something, i mean Imus got fired right? I hope that Asians can stand together and deem this inappropriate and just plain in bad taste. I mean seriously the passive ways of our asian forefathers here have allowed us asians to become the acceptable race to make fun of and degrade.
      • NonCommie44, on 11/14/2007, -1/+1I won't. Im Chinese-Taiwanese, and I still have Taiwanese Nationality, so I'm not "Asian-American", who usually become pussies for some reason. If someone's going to diss my country or people in front of me, I'm going to want it settled. Asians can't "unite", because we have too many differences, Asians dont think of each other as the same race. Because of Unit 731 and stuff like that. Why are Asian-Americans overall so pussy anyway?

He then wondered if the employees who saw this kind of stuff would go into the back room, pull their eyelides open and yell things like "BASEBALL! CADILLAC!" and so on.

      i love liberal hypocrisy!
  • typicalusername, on 11/14/2007, -28/+7Oh whatever! Don't tell me you all have NEVER done that! Everyone's done that at least once in their life, while waiting for some bad chinese food, while doing an impression of the incompetant person who took your order...

    • natedouglas, on 11/14/2007, -0/+17The difference might be that we weren't doing it while ostensibly holding a well-reasoned, intellectual debate about society and acceptable presumptions of guilt in law enforcement scenarios.

      There's a difference between:
      "Chinese, Japanese, look at my boobies at the movies!" which I remember saying when I was seven with appropriate (although anatomically inaccurate) tugs at the corners of my eyes
      -and-

        • TheLoneHoot, on 11/13/2007, -0/+7I think you have managed to completely miss the point, and yet make yourself an example of the point itself. Wow!
          • typicalusername, on 11/14/2007, -4/+1If the point is that I have fun with life, and don't let this ***** bother me... then fine. Case in point. What exactly is the point that I'm missing?
            1) "Fox News: the network for people with the brains of a six-year-old." So, hates Fox News, check
            2)"I did it when I was 6 years old" Which eludes to the fact, that someone is too adult to do it now, check. For where I am at, they call that being an old fart....
    • MadKennyP, on 11/13/2007, -0/+3You clearly missed the point. I still play with toy trains and crayons, thanks to my two-year-old daughter. However, I have MATURED to where I no longer taunt people, throw temper tantrums, refuse to share, cry when I'm tired, or poop in my pants. Making a "slanty eyed" face to depict an Asian falls into the second list.
  • natedouglas, on 11/14/2007, -4/+29"Not a black guy, with 'Inflate to 20psi' tattooed on the inside of his lips."

    I think this merely goes to prove what many of us have been saying about these mainstream media "editorial shows" all along. Their business model is built around regurgitating the same old grievances, the same old false dichotomies, the same idiotic arguments that we've always seen.

    Newspapers are written at, iirc, a seventh- or eighth-grade reading level. That's not the problem -- the problem is that there is very little effective, intelligent public discourse held at a higher level than that.

    My wife and I don't watch TV. We celebrated our anniversary this weekend by getting a cabin in the woods. I woke up early on Sunday and turned on the TV which, fuzzily, managed to scrape together a staticky but comprehensible local PBS station. I was shocked! People were discussing an issue (the revision of Ohio's sex crime statutes) with actual acknowledgement of each others' differing viewpoints, with the aim of ensuring fairness rather than expediency, with no raised voices, without logical fallacies. Both parties seemed to have actually considered the consequences of various aspects of the laws in question. Instead of debating the aim of the law and whether it came from a liberal or conservative agenda, they were debating THE EFFECTS of THE EFFECTS of the law! In other words, they were debating it as an event in society with positive and negative effects, rather than just saying "well, those damn conservatives are at it again" or "the liberals managed to sneak this through while we were re-reading the New Testament" or whatever.

    Shocking how they can do that on PBS. Too bad it doesn't seem to be very profitable.
    • btdub, on 11/13/2007, -0/+3Well put.
      • akatsuki, on 11/13/2007, -0/+2You damned leftie with your reasonable discussion of the issues. It is obvious that PBS is a left media conspiracy! Otherwise they would just talk about guns and hunting and American things like waterboarding (I don't see what is so wrong with it, after all, when I went to the beach to do some, it was fun! We should be so lucky...)

    • natedouglas, on 11/14/2007, -1/+16It's not a matter of political correctness. It's a matter of the acceptable level of discourse -- and how the level of discourse is shockingly low on the Fox News channel.

    • pintomp3, on 11/13/2007, -1/+10that's not the point. if they do a story about a jew, would they put on a big hook nose? if it was an african person, would they put on an afro? even when mencia does it on comedy central, it's lame. on a news network it's shameful.
      • p0s3r, on 11/14/2007, -6/+1Of course you don't have the foggiest clue what this clip was about do you? The story was about a radio station refusing to broadcast a police bulletin because they said using the term "hispanic male" as a description of the suspect was racist. The ex-detective featured in this thinkprogress edit was demonstrating why hispanic male is a valid identifier.

    • KidDynamo0, on 11/13/2007, -2/+2By your logic, its ok to say whatever rude ***** you want, cuz being PC! The thing with political correctness is it can be taken to far. I have no issues in saying that people can go to far with being PC. However, that does not somehow negate political correctness. Just cuz some person says "don't say black say African American" doesn't make it cool to make "slant eyes" to represent Chinese people as a retaliation to the over the misuse of political correctness. Your point is very childish.
      • p0s3r, on 11/14/2007, -3/+1Well its a good thing that detective wasn't doing that!

A hispanic man raped a person, a radio station in Arizona wouldn't announce the police bulletin for the suspect because they claimed saying "hispanic male" was racist. This clip was some ex-detective demonstrating why "hispanic" is a valid discription for a criminal suspect.
    • p0s3r, on 11/13/2007, -6/+4Here's real racism, of course there's no context that thinkprogress can snip out of this so be forewarned:

You're making this about dems v reps, no one else has. Is the cop racist? That can't be shown in this one short clip. But was it necessary to illustrate his point in this crude way? Probably not. And the feeling of unease isn't helped by being on Fox, a channel known for being heavy handed.
        • p0s3r, on 11/13/2007, -1/+1I would like to see the same manufactured outrage when Dem's do it.

      • p0s3r, on 11/13/2007, -4/+1Please tell me how you would describe the chinese or hispanic person that just raped you? Would you say "light skinned white male" like the retarded radio station wanted?

          • p0s3r, on 11/13/2007, -3/+1See, no context. The detective was describing valid ways to identify a criminal suspect. The segment was about a radio station that refused to broadcast a police bulletin for a rape suspect because they claimed the term "hispanic male" was not descriptive but was racist. This detective was saying that it was absolutely valid to say hispanic male, or in the case of the video snippet, a chinese male with slanted eyes to describe the rape suspect.
          • crestfall, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1I gathered that context from the clip. It still doesn't make sense to me. It's sort of like you coming on here using the term libtard to insult the intelligence of those who think differently than you, except that this guy is on a "news" show wearing a suit. Or like you with the ching chong chin comments below. They're funny, but you're still white trash. BAM! POWEE! ZING!

        • jaxcs, on 11/13/2007, -0/+0I've never seen an instance where a commentator talking about white people pulls their eyes wide open or in talking about black people begin applying shoe polish to their face or when talking about Arabs proceed to wrap a turban around their head or when talking about Christians dons rosary beads and a crucifix. When you can find me an instance, get back to me.
        • DavidYeah, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1What Chinese people look like is not the issue here, p0s3r.
          My concern and many others' concern is that this kind of innocent yuck-it-up/lighten-up-libtards simply plants the seeds of greater racism being acceptable down the road. Everyone on here who gives props to this guy for being so "non-PC" and "edgy" clearly has no grip on the reality of how more serious racist divisions occur.
          • p0s3r, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1Puh-lease. No one is giving this guy props. This whole segment was based on exactly the kind of retarded ideals liberalism has become. A hispanic man raped a girl. The local radio station wouldn't announce the police bulletin because they claim saying "hispanic male" is racist. You people are using PC to obfuscate the problems your causing. You'd rather a rapist roam free then dare call him hispanic.
          • jaxcs, on 11/14/2007, -0/+0You want the issue before us to be about liberalism, democrats, the website, political correctness, Hispanics, Chinese, police, everything except whether or not a commentator should pull his eyes to the side like a fool. Although you claim no one is giving this guy props, you never say that he was in error either. What you actually do is to call people libtard and make ching chong jokes. From this you want a polite debate? We're the ones obfuscating a problem? You embrace thoughtless careless comments and make thoughtless careless comments of your own but it is liberalism that has run amok. Simply unbelievable.
  • MerryMortician, on 11/14/2007, -9/+19here is my problem... who the ***** cares? we are too sensitive with EVERYTHING anymore. I get my news online and don't watch tv anyways much less fox news.. but im tired of people "getting offended" at stupid *****.

      • Alpione, on 11/13/2007, -2/+2None of the above. You want to call me a "cracker," "honkey," "breeder?" Fire the ***** away... Bunch of pussies...
        • TheLoneHoot, on 11/13/2007, -1/+2You've never had any of those terms used against you in a way that seriously was associated with a longstanding history of hate, hate crimes, oppression, and marginalization. So it's easy to say "Fire the ***** away... Bunch of pussies..." if you're you.
          • fafaforza, on 11/14/2007, -2/+2Ah, so now you're introducing context into the equation. Your previous post only talked about words which by themselves are meaningless, unless you yourself give them meaning.
      • MerryMortician, on 11/14/2007, -2/+2I will lonehoot. There is NO line. There is only common shared respect for one another. Either we have it or we don't. Alpione and Fafaforza are exactly correct YOU give the words meaning and YOU control your reaction. If you ALLOW someone to bother you who in fact, does not share the mutual human respect we all expect, your job is not to whine and bitch but to ignore. Every time you are offended by words... YOU GIVE THEM POWER. I will go so far as to say I question the intelligence of not only a person who uses such words in the first place, but ALSO the one who is bothered by them.
      • coyote1284, on 11/14/2007, -0/+1"you people"?
        "illegal immigrant"?
        "deaf"?
        "retarded"?
        "spastic"?
    • arjie, on 11/14/2007, -1/+1***** stupid Americans. You're so fat, ignorant and brainless that you have all your idiot soldiers dying in a war. They deserve it. I explode with laughter every time an American is beheaded.
      Woah woah, you're reaching for the bury button?! Pussies. Add 'sensitive' to that list there.
  • scabbers, on 11/13/2007, -1/+4At least he didn't make his teeth go like a rabbit... he didn't, did he?
  • Ninnux, on 11/13/2007, -4/+7That's redicerous.
    • roberto_deneero, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1LOL
      You rike papah oh prastic?
  • DrSpud, on 11/13/2007, -1/+8So their guest did something stupid, and by proxy we should hate them instead? They should be despised for their blatant bias and horribly skewed "coverage". But not for what a guest does on a show that is editorial/commentary.

    • TheLoneHoot, on 11/13/2007, -1/+1Maybe one of their "fair and balanced" people should have balanced him out a little with some pantomime. But two wrongs don't make a right - but someone should've at least called him on it on the spot.
      • fafaforza, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1Yes, we should have been treated to a nice 5 minute segment on all the great things Asians have added to this world. Would have made for great television.
    • MerryMortician, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1unless of course you AGREE or happen to LIKE said show. Then you defend. Its the same thing for either side of anything.
  • formergthing, on 11/14/2007, -5/+12Who cares?
    • TheHydrogens, on 11/13/2007, -2/+1Agreed... I think that is the point that everyone is missing... Asian people do generally have slanted eyes... it happens. Just like black people have darker skin, and white people all wear fanny packs and US flag shirts. People of different race are DIFFERENT... it is OK.
      • TheLoneHoot, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1Show me how an east asian person's eyes are not level please.
  • leerayIG88, on 11/13/2007, -3/+4Does that make me Asian if I pull me eyes to the side?
    • crestfall, on 11/14/2007, -0/+5No, It makes you black, according to this clip.
  • skrowl, on 11/14/2007, -7/+8I think people actually go out of their way TRYING to be offended these days. What a terrible non-story. Buried.
    • slashbot, on 11/13/2007, -3/+1No joke.

      This article goes well with the "Lawsuits Are Making Our Kids Weak". Seems like some people need to grow a backbone.
  • dipdip, on 11/13/2007, -0/+4how old are those idiots?
  • Hetman, on 11/14/2007, -8/+5Its cool though. He is black that is fine. Racism is one sided. It can only happen when a white person talks about another race. I think it is actually the motto of the ACLU. I know it is on there website somewhere it has to be.
    • systemghost, on 11/13/2007, -1/+3Yeah, it's right next to the apology to the Duke Lacrosse players from Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
    • TheLoneHoot, on 11/13/2007, -0/+3I can't wait for the day when people like you finally see what the ACLU has done to protect your civil liberties. You obviously only know what your talking points tell you to know about them.
    • Hetman, on 11/13/2007, -1/+1Im all for the aclu. They have done many great things for minorities. Im just saying these days they take it to the extreme. If you cannot see that you are blind. Double standards are awesome.
  • CroMag, on 11/14/2007, -6/+11WOWWWWWWWW....what an outrage!! To suggest that different races and cultures are actually different is akin to heresy.
    While myself and legions of liberal diggers have no problem goofing on poor whites for their accents, perceived intelligence, and poor breeding, this is just too much!
    • p0s3r, on 11/13/2007, -6/+4“A RACIST: A racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality. By this definition, people of color cannot be racists, because as peoples within the U.S. system, they do not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities, or acts of discrimination. (This does not deny the existence of such prejudices, hostilities, acts of rage or discrimination.)"
      From:
      University of Delaware's Freshman Liberal Indoctrination Program.
    • slashbot, on 11/13/2007, -1/+1Wait you're implying people have accents?

      Racist!!111
    • crestfall, on 11/13/2007, -1/+4Now try making fun of a black guy in a pseudo-racist manner. Check how long it takes for your digg account to be toast.
      • CroMag, on 11/13/2007, -0/+2No kidding. Make fun of poor whites, no problem.
    • TheLoneHoot, on 11/14/2007, -1/+2RECENT QUOTES FROM 'CROMAG':
      "I stopped reading when he mentioned Martin Luther King alongside Socrates. White dudes just love to exhalt the black man. I HEART WHITE GUILT."
      "I am ALL for the brutalizing of ILLEGAL immigrants. I'm also for opening fire without provocation on hippie *****. Excellent work border patrol."
      "Are you a ***** *****?"
      "Would you have understood where I got the racism from if we replaced the word "good old boys" with "homeboys" and NASCAR with DOG FIGHTING?"
      "Let me guess, your the type of hypocritical lib douche that would have an aneurysm if I as much as mentioned the word BLACK in an off color manner."
      "Ever think that you might be the stupid one? Or are you just another self righteous lib asswipe that thinks because he has an iphone and black friends he can't be wrong."
      • CroMag, on 11/14/2007, -1/+1Wow, you taught me!!!
        • TheLoneHoot, on 11/14/2007, -0/+1nope - I enlightened others as to the obvious racial chip on your shoulder. I don't think ANYONE could teach you, sadly enough.
  • iidestined, on 11/13/2007, -2/+4wtf is wrong with the world? ...
  • wallcloud111, on 11/13/2007, -0/+3you rack a disaprin! (ah south park lol)

  • sholde4, on 11/13/2007, -0/+6Not a black man with a nose like this [pushes it up], sucking up all the white man's air...

    I'm sure he'd appreciate that.
  • seanhive, on 11/13/2007, -2/+2Fox is not news, it's entertainment. Therefore, fools will appear on the television screen. No one should be surprised, it's already established.
  • Gryffydd, on 11/14/2007, -2/+8I was offended when I read the headline. Then I watched the video and saw the guest was a black guy. That made it OK. You can't be racist or offensive if you're black.
    • roberto_deneero, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1Blacks are the most racist of us all. They have their own college fund, graduations, fraternities, sororities, business associations, ski clubs, personnel services, and many more! Can you imagine the outrage if any white person even thought about starting one of these "white only" organizations?! Blacks keep bitching about segregation for decades while they continue to segregate themselves by excluding others from their culture, clubs, and families. Stop your stupid bitching and whining and actually come be a part of society. Asians have been productive in our society for decades. Why can't blacks? Asians study hard, work hard, and create jobs. Blacks steal bikes, sell drugs, squander lunch money on bling, and bitch about the white man keepin them down. STFU.

  • ejpusa, on 11/13/2007, -3/+3FOLKS it's FOX NEWS! It's considered a JOKE of a network, NO ONE takes it seriously! Dear Mr. Murdoch, PLEASE check in with your network. I know you are a smart guy, but EVERYONE now considers your "News Show" a SPOOF!, A JOKE, a bad SNL skit. AKA A J-O-K-E!
    • DyDx, on 11/13/2007, -0/+4Fox News is the most watched cable news station. You're wrong. The problem is that too many people take it seriously because _they're idiots_.
    • BAFrayd, on 11/13/2007, -1/+1It's considered a joke of a network by people who lack objectivity, and don't want to be bothered by the application of reason. Some of the commentary is reasonable and some is unreasonable, but many individuals choose to simply brand the station and dismiss it out of hand, because they lack the means to think for themselves.
  • robisfunky, on 11/14/2007, -4/+4 Do you guys ever get tired of getting your panties in a wad over somebody saying something you don't like? For a bunch that revels in calling names at pretty much every turn in these threads, you guys sure do have some thin skin.
  • kittenman, on 11/13/2007, -3/+5wow ***** this man!~!
  • HotBaconSauce, on 11/14/2007, -2/+2At least we are concerned with important things.
  • systemghost, on 11/14/2007, -7/+7People only care because this happened on Fox News. You can't honestly sit here in your chair and say that you've never seen someone do this on another television network. If you can't see the irony in the interview... well, you're racist.

    I think you spend more time trying to vommit onto your keyboards new, mildly-insulting puns in which to say Fox.
    • FredFredrickson, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1If it happened on CNN, people would be calling for someone to be fired.
  • kettlechips, on 11/14/2007, -4/+2I hate fox news as much as the next guy, but there are much better things to hate on than this. Crying over this incident is taking political correctness to an extreme.
  • americamatrix, on 11/14/2007, -7/+6Um, Who cares? Are you really upset by that? By the looks of the comments America is turning into a bunch of pansies.

    Nothing here....move along.
  • CorneliusStump, on 11/14/2007, -6/+5Ching Chong egg roll, laundry five dorra
  • jkopacz, on 11/14/2007, -6/+2me chinese, me no joke, me go pee pee in your coke! (im part chinese, so i guess i can say it since its like a black person using the n word? :P)
    • adith, on 11/13/2007, -1/+3Being Chinese doesn't give you the right to say something so stupid and offensive.
      • X1Jack, on 11/13/2007, -1/+0Wait, I dug that up, not down like I wanted to. I want a do-over. He has the right to say whatever the hell he wants. Should he is another question. I'd say yes. People need to grow the hell up and stop pretending that different ethnic groups look totally alike.
        • FredFredrickson, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1Making fun of the way one ethnic group looks like isn't the best way to acknowledge differences though.
  • TomJohn, on 11/13/2007, -0/+3I love "newscasters" and "commentators" who constantly shout in an effort to give their non-news an urgent quality.
  • p0s3r, on 11/13/2007, -6/+8If I see a black guy commit a crime, I'm going to tell the police "a black guy did it."
    If I see a hispanic guy commit a crime, I'm going to tell the police "a hispanic guy did it."
    If I see a white guy commit a crime, I'm going to tell the police "a white guy did it."
    If I see an asian guy commit a crime, I'm going to slant my eyes and say "CHING CHANG CHONG" and then give big props to Rosie O'Donnell.
    • jaxcs, on 11/13/2007, -6/+5With this comment you show your true colors. The cop may or may not be racist, but you certainly are.
      • GoblinJuice, on 11/13/2007, -4/+2I'm going to Ree's Ricker's for a forty. ;-)
      • TheLoneHoot, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1Read his comment history to see who you're dealing with... you won't be surprised.
  • thewump, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1so f**king what. I know moral outrage is in vogue and all but it's getting a bit old.
