ew. senator allen. racist. ew...


August 16, 2006

republican senator allen, from virginia, was recently caught on tape calling the cameraman, who is of indian descent, 'macaca', and saying 'welcome to america'.
senator allen, who is up for re-election in november, was in a rural part of virginia where 'macaca' means 'monkey'.
ew, gross.
what the hell is wrong with these people?
did he not think that there was tape in the camera?
he was addressing 100 or so white, rural farmers and he refers to the only person of color
there as a monkey?
was he so caught up in his campaign speech that he forgot to not be a racist?
here's the video:
