A lawyer in Southern California drew backlash and reportedly received
threats last week after an online post that she titled, "The Asians that
took over Orange County."

In the now-deleted post, Christina Ignatius compared the Asians and Asian-
Americans she has encountered with those in the hit movie "Crazy Rich
Asians." Although the post has been deleted, a copy was captured and
posted by the Asian-American news site NextShark, which first reported on
it.

"My friend said that there is something coming out called Crazy Rich
Asians. It reminds me of all the Asians who flooded into Orange County and
then took over our mall at South Coast Plaza," Ignatius wrote.

She added that she attended the University of California at Irvine with "a
lot of rice rockets," claiming Asians "flooded that school."


In other comments, the lawyer referred to the stereotype that Asians are
bad drivers.

"They will drive their Mercedes in the carpool lane and then cut across 5
lanes to get over to the mall, as if your car next to them didn't even
matter, " she wrote. "That's why we have the term 'driving like an
Asian.'"

After being contacted by the Orange County Register about the furor her
post caused, Ignatius said she "didn't have any intent of anger and
hatred," so wasn't deserving of criticism and threats.

"If you have no malintent, you didn't do anything wrong," she told the
paper. She said the post was "meant as a joke" for her Facebook friends,
according to the Register.

"If you have no malintent, you didn't do anything wrong."

“They (Asians) poke fun at themselves,” she said. “I love them. I work
with them. I love their culture. That’s why I love ‘The Things Asian Moms
Say.’“

“I am saddened by your racist, insensitive and simply unacceptable post,”
she wrote. “It’s hard to imagine that an attorney in Orange County would
make such an ignorant post in 2018.”

heritage, U.S. Census Bureau data show.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
