Here's Virginia Senator and likely Presidential candidate, George Allen. He's referring to a desi from his opponent's camp shooting a documentary film. I get a kick out of watching conservative bigots slip up and show their true colors. Just one of the many reasons I dislike the Republican party.

I'm a little slow on the latest slurs, what is a macaca?
Apparently it's an old European slur for colored people and/or slaves. They're trying to backpedal by offering up various other meanings of the word - none of which make sense in this context. Clearly, he's trying to demean the kid based on his ethnicity.
Well I'm impressed that he is smart enough to know antiquated slurs. BTW - Macaca (also written as macaque) is a dismissive epithet used by Francophone colonials in Africa for native populations of North and Subsaharan Africans. It is derived from the name of the genus comprised of the macaque primates. :-) I think I'll claim Indian citizenship now, or maybe Thai, yeah Thai sounds good.
Unreal! :)
Andy, I hope you've started your Thai lessons, because just saying Tom Yam will not get you closer to that passport. :p
Is this really 2006?
