‘I’m not racist’: Common claim after racial slurs

June 1, 2013 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Jesse Washington AP National Writer It’s almost a cliche. First, someone talking about Blacks makes reference to fried chicken, watermelon, monkeys, or dogs — all stereotypes used to denigrate African Americans.

EDITORIAL: Obama is best for U.S.

October 18, 2012 By Northwest Asian Weekly

During this week’s debate, Mitt Romney got a few things right about President Obama. Obama promised to reform the United States’ immigration policies during his first term. He hasn’t. He promised to improve the economy and cut down the deficit. He failed to meet his goals. At best, he scores a C+ on the economy.
