HAWAII: Democratic Rep. Ed Case Apologizes For Saying He’s An ‘Asian Trapped In A White Body’

DC:

The Hawaii Congressman made the remark Tuesday during a reception celebrating members of Congress who are Asian American and Pacific Islander, according to Nicholas Wu of the National Journal.

“Congressman Ed Case, who represents a majority Asian district in Honolulu — ‘I’m an Asian trapped in a white body,’” Wu tweeted.

Case tried to clarify his comments in an email to The Washington Post:

“Like so many others from Hawaii who treasure our multicultural heritage, I have absorbed and live the values of our many cultures,” he wrote. “They and not my specific ethnicity are who I am, and I believe that this makes me an effective advocate on national issues affecting our API community. I regret if my specific remarks to the national API community on my full absorption of their concerns caused any offense.”

  1. Why did they pressure him to apologize? And how is this different than a transmorphogender saying they are trapped in an opposite sex’s body?
    I thought this was 2019 and you can be anything you want. This is very confusing.

  2. Well, if he had instead said, “Our DemonRat Sen. Mazie Hirono is the biggest dumbest dingbat crazy Asian bitch in the islands.” No one could prove he said anything that isn’t absolutely true without risking being ridiculed off the islands back to the mainland.
