This is a joke. Why should I step in for this freak of a woman?

Also, Asian American community? Joke #2. We are a community of ultra opportunists. There is no Asian American community.

This website is an example of the reason why racism is just going to increase against Asians, Hispanics, etc.
The people in those groups want acceptance as equals – and they want to be able to sue over every slight at the same time.
Equality doesn’t work that way. You have to start giving credit where it is due – and if that means giving credit to white people, then do it!
I grew up in the NW as a minority – often the only Asian in a group of whites. I had it just as good – and just as bad as the others. They were often poorer than me. They did not have the good family examples I had to help me mentally get through financial hard times.
Now, I look back at the many, many white people who befriended me and I am sickened at how they are being treated by the “new bullies” like the black males in Obama’s camp who treat women like they are dirt.

You’re forgetting that many “hapas” as you label us, also have Caucasian relatives with roots deep in the West. We don’t like our Caucasian relative’s “crimes” being remembered while Pearl Harbor, the Dalai Lama and other “crimes” are swept under the rug.

The issue is not whether the Heenes have a mean bone in them but whether they have the right to scam the American public and use up precious state and federal funds to look for their missing son. I don’t believe all this talk that Mayumi is some subservient woman and even if true, whats wrong with that? Asian women may be subservient but that was how American women were until feminism came along.

My husband is Japanese and to this day he still sees himself as “less” to others. He is a doctor and I do not know why this mentality still exists. His brother and two sisters are married to caucasians as well.
I do not know why Mayumi married her husband. He treats her really bad and also his opinion on females is bigoted. Then again, she is very rude person as well and maybe got it fro her husband. There is no need to make racist remarks but both of them deserve more than token penalities. They were both involved in the hoax, throw the book at them. In addition, the foul-mouthed kids may have a better chance with foster parents.

A month in jail + community service wont do. They need to pay back all the money they wasted on resources! How selfish of them to make a spectacle and have people waste their time and care on them. They should get charged a hefty hundred thousand dollar fine + community service + some sort of intervention/therapy for their sons

asian women has alot of self hate, they can’t wait to be white wash and from japan, country full of self hate. look at their cartoons. they draw themselves as white and asian characters from asia as slanty eye characters.

asian women here are not that much different. sadly she probably hated herself so much thinking the white man would save her.

How wrong can one be? The deranged father of the balloon boy has more than one mean bone in his body. Look at his history. He is a narcissistic jack ass.

> The Heenes don’t have a mean bone anywhere in their bodies, but
> they’re pretty much at the mercy of public opinion now.

Correct me if I am wrong but hasn’t the father been in trouble on at least one occasion for his temper? I would hardly say he doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. And for that matter, his children were extremely rude to their host family on wife swap. While I agree with the rest of your article I think you got this part wrong sir.
