What this b.s. shows is that every race on the planet other than white folks can work in their interest.

Hoekstra defends racially-charged Super Bowl ad

Michigan Senate candidate Pete Hoekstra on Monday defended his controversial Super Bowl political attack ad that critics have called racially insensitive, saying it does not reflect criticism of China.
The ad, which opens with the sound of a gong and other traditional Asian tones, features a young Asian actress riding a bike in what appears to be a rice field. With what appears to be a straw hat resting against her back, she addresses the camera and thanks Democratic incumbent Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow - who is called "Debbie Spend-it-now" - in broken English. (Watch at left.)
"Debbie spend so much American money," the woman says. "You borrow more and more, from us, Your economy get very weak. Ours get very good." The ad implies that she is Chinese but never mentions China or any other nation by name.
"We take your jobs," the woman continues, with a smile and a shrug. "Thank you Debbie Spend-it-now."
The Michigan chapter of the group Asian & Pacific Islander American Vote called the spot (http://www.apiavotemi.org/)"very disturbing" and said in a statement that Hoekstra's campaign "chose to use harmful negative stereotypes that intrinsically encourage anti-Asian sentiment."
A group of African-American ministers in Detroit called on Hoekstra to apologize for the ad, which appeared during the Super Bowl in Michigan, with Rev. Charles Williams II comparing it to "having a black person speaking in slave dialect," as the Huffington Post reported (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/06/pete-hoekstra-ad-china-michigan_n_1256912.html).
