For those who haven’t been keeping abreast of the activities of all the racists and misogynists back in the States (which I would be blissfully ignoring myself, if not for all the action alerts that keep plopping into my Inbox), here is a handy quiz:

C. The restaurant had a sign over its bathroom that said, “No A-rabs allowed.”

3. In April, the hosts of a New Jersey radio show, 101.5 FM’s “The Jersey Guys,” criticized a Korean American candidate in a local Democratic primary, and then said the following:

B. After commiserating with a caller about the “damn Orientals and Indians” in New Jersey, Carton remarked, “It’s like you’re a foreigner in your own country, isn’t it?”

C. Complaining that all the poker tables in Atlantic City were crowded with Chinese players, Carton opined: “Well, go to [Atlantic City] for one week and try and get a table …  ching chong, ching chong, ching chong [mimics Chinese accent]. ‘Hehe, you hit it on seventeen, you stupid bitch’ … they got their little beady pocketbooks with the little beads on it.
