Last Thursday, Obama's campaign sent a memo to reporters, demanding that it not be attributed to their campaign.
This memo carried the headline "Hillary Clinton (D-Punjab)" and referred to Clintons' investments in India; her fundraising among Indian-Americans; and the former president's $300,000 in speech fees from Cisco, a company that has moved U.S. jobs to India.
This was clearly a racist attack against Asians, a group which is frequently subjected to Black racism. (I say this as an Asian American who has frequently witnessed this myself).
Obama tries to pretend that this is just a "dumb mistake" and has completely failed to address or apologize for the clear racism of the memo. No one has been fired by his campaign and he continues to run for President.
Why hasn't his hypocrisy and/or racism been as strongly attacked by the press as we all know any suggestion of white racism would be?
