VIDEO: Texan Rep. Betty "Asians Should Adopt a Name" Brown says she's sorry

By GottaLaff


Relevant segment starts at about 3:40.

Here is Paddy's original post. Now good old Betty (who really should adopt a new name) must have realized that she has alienated potential voters:

Brown initially insisted that she didn’t say anything wrong. However, she has now put out a statement apologizing, saying that she “understands the ‘diversity of Texas’ and the ‘enrichment’ that Asian-Americans have brought to the state.”
Sorry, Betty, saying Asians have to "make it work for us" doesn't work for us. By the way, do you pronounce your name "ignorant" or "ignoramus"? It might "behoove you" to "adopt a name that we could deal with more readily here," like, say, "jerk".
