Asian paper runs column attacking blacks

A weekly newspaper that bills itself as the voice of Asian America is facing harsh criticism for publishing an article headlined "Why I hate blacks." On Friday, the San Francisco-based AsianWeek ran a column by Kenneth Eng - who has previously called himself an "Asian supremacist" - which listed "reasons" to discriminate against African Americans. Prominent Asian Americans immediately condemned Eng's column and it was taken down from the paper's website. AsianWeek, owned by the influential Chinese American Fang family, also issued a statement regretting "any offence caused". (Via San Francisco Chronicle)
