It looks like Eng hates everybody, and has a history of writing hate. So why does a paper offer him a forum? And what a lame-ass response: "any offense caused by the one opinion piece," there's some serious tone-deafness; and some blame for the victim: "What this controversy points out is the lack of community leadership in addressing the critical and difficult issues of race relations," WTF? What it points out is that your paper is edited by a brain-dead racist!

Jon Carroll, as usual, has some good insight.

So, what consequences are being served up? Is Kenneth Eng complaining about his free-speech rights?
