Why Sarah Palin didn't like Hawaii: Too many Asians.

Thumbnail image for sarah-palin-wireimage.jpgWhat really made Alaskan ex-governor Sarah Palin bail on the first college she attended in Hawaii? After only one semester? 

We'd say she has some trouble finishing anything but that would be baseless. Oh, wait, no it's not.

In the recent New Yorker review of Sarah's autobiography, "Going Rogue," Sam Tanenhaus writes that her own father said that the Asians and Pacific Islanders made her uncomfortable 

"They were a minority type of thing and it wasn't glamorous, so she came home," her dad was quoted as saying in the piece.

In "Rogue," Sarah says that she preferred her last college, her fourth, the University of Idaho, because "it was much like Alaska, yet still "Outside." 

Is there a large Asian population there? Kinda doubt it.

It took Issac Chotiner at "The New Republic" to single out this passage. 

Is that because no one reads anything about Sarah Palin anymore?

Of course, Asian are all the A+ smarties, she may not be even qualify for a D after the grade curve. HAHAHAHAHA

Well, Asian might be the minority "type of thing", but Sarah Palin is the Moronity type of thing. HAHAHAHAHAHA

wow, that was a good one Asian!! :)

luv u asain!
US is invaded by asians now so no wonder why she lost last election.

I live in Hawaii and it hardly feels like America for all the Japanese and other Asians having taken over here. It's like living in a Little Asia. I hate it and don't plan on staying long.

"I live in Hawaii and it hardly feels like America for all the Japanese and other Asians having taken over here. It's like living in a Little Asia. I hate it and don't plan on staying long."

If the US does not pay its debts it owes China and other Asian countries..get used to one of the two alternatives:

1. A lot of Asians taking over your neighborhoods and the country looking like Hawaii;

or
2. Living in the caves with your guns, wearing loin clothes and hunting for a living. Your ancestors live like that until Julius Ceaser found them and civilized them. Until then, they did not even know how to make a fire!

@valerie:
The Asian race has been in Hawaii since before you were born and the fact is, it was the Caucasians who overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy and took over Hawaii, not Asians. so before you go flapping your racist gums, think about what you say.

I'm just not into those slanty-eyed types. U know i need me some good whitebread for some good luvin. You Betchya!! ;)

Let me get this straight.....She tries to extort $50,000 from the McCain camp, goes on a book tour, actually flying from stop to stop (can anyone still call it a book tour?), in predominantly "white" locales, has a ghost writer pen one of her books, that she swears are her own words, Tries to scare Americans with her patently false claims of "death panels" not once, but TWICE (how stupid does she think we all are?), and now this.
Being one of those of the "Asian thing" extraction, it's obvious that she does NOT speak to, or for, all Americans. Racists do not "grow out" of being racist. Especially when they prove it(as in the book tour) by providing example after example that their attitude hasn't changed.
What perplexes me is the fawning, sycophantic defense she engenders. I don't think they have a firm grip on reality.
Times are changing for little "Missy Wasilly", and she needs to skulk back into obscurity, where she belongs.

Valerie,

How long did it take you to realize there were a lot of Asians there? It should have dawned on you (if you were sharp enough) as you walked through Honolulu Int'l Airport. How long have you been there? If you didn't go immediately to a reservation counter to return home, why complain about it now? Of course, you could, like all of Palin's other sycophants, just rely on delusion. Just think of them as white. THEN, YOU HAVE NO PROBLEMS.
