Oct. 24, 2007

An article last week in the Los Angeles Times focused on campaign contributions to Hillary Clinton from Chinese Americans in New York City. The Times reported that low-income persons were pressured by associations to make political donations. Some in the Asian American Pacific Islander community claim the reporting is bad journalism, depicting Asian American donors as suspect and foreign, and targeting a specific ethnic group. The contrarian opinion is that increased scrutiny is merely part of the political process. Comment on the Members Only forum (you need your 5-digit membership ID).
