LA Times Columnist - Gregory Rodiguez and Floyd Mayweather in the same Corner

I am officially putting Los Angeles Times Opinion Columnist Gregory Rodriquez in the same group of uninformed racially insensitive individuals as Floyd Mayweather, Jason Whitlock and Anthony Frederico (former ESPN editor). I thought the Anti-Asian rhetoric in the media had disappeared with the injury to New York Knicks Guard Jeremy Lin, but today I read Gregory Rodriquez's LA Times Opinion Column: New wave of immigrants -- a new target too? Mr. Rodriguez references a new study by the Pew Research Center and surmises that, "Asians are the new Jews." WTF, what kind of racially insensitive comment toward Asian Americans and Jews is that? This is the year 2012 and I continue to be mystified why any Minority writer would infer such a stereotype based on a statistic. Shame on you G-Rod!

BTW, the picture on the right is of Gregory Rodriguez. Hey Gregory, I would like to see your apology to Asian Americans and Jews!
