   Why would any so-called “Respectable newspaper” hire a clown like this. Standards at newspapers have really gone down.

   He says he hates blacks cause they hated on him, and then he lets it slip that they “get so much media attention”. That just sounds like he’s envious to me, I mean blacks are far from being some great oppressive power-wielding group in the way whites have historically been, and so his anger at blacks getting more press seems to just be anger that he perceives that he is being replaced in this white-dominated society by black columnists and black supremacists and black morons for the attention of the stupid.

   Oh and he’s an incredible narcissist. “You probably want to know why I call myself the ‘God of the Universe’…” No, we don’t…oh he’s going on ahead anyway, crap.

   well, it is true that dragons are more intelligent than humans. except in the case of daryl dragon, who is significantly less smart than partner/wife toni tennille.

    I’m confused about what beef he has with Sofia Coppolla. Where did that come from?

    I’m with Tariq. Did no one on staff (particularly the editors) not realize this guy is a complete nut job? He needs help.

    He hates Sophia Coppolla for her film, Lost in Translation (or possibly that death scene in Godfather III), the highly awarded film about two Americans finding themselves amongst the insanity and childishness that American’s love to think represents Japanese society. I hated the film as much as Eng, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say it makes Sophia a racist, just an idiot for following the same tired stranger in a strange land formula of characterizing foreigners as eccentric and out of place despite the lead characters actually being the foreigners. None of the individuals he listed were necessarily racist in the way we think of it (or so our Dragon overlords would have us believe), but to him they cheapen Asian culture and as an Asian supremacist he sees that as nothing less than racism. Eng isn’t crazy for not liking these individuals (he’s crazy for that whole Dragons: vernacular trifecta / hermeneutic trinity thing)… I wouldn’t shed a tear if Chris Tucker and the whole Rush Hour franchise were swept away in some kind of divinely inspired flood of cleansing. Yeah Eng is crazy, but the conviction he has for his insanity is almost admirable… almost. I can’t keep myself from watching this clip over and over again.

    I, for one, welcome our new dragon overlords.

    But on the real, I saw it as an attempt to don the “eccentric genius” mask to wheedle even more publicity out of this whole thing. Problem is, homie couldn’t pull it off.

    Is this idiot sreious, Eng is a total meglamanic like Micheal Jackson and the world revolves around his “GENIUS”. I don’t want to beat this racist up, I am laughing at him because it’s obvious the only friends he has is himself and some imaginary creature. Asian Weekly deserves all the criticsm it’s getting for hiring Jim Jones II. Let’s just hope he doesn’t start another people’s temple.

    He wrote a story at NYU where a nuclear device heading to China was diverted to where it killed Blacks in Detroit. When asked why, he said there are and never will be a Black genius!
    Wow! It’s a good thing I’ve never been to Detroit!
    This megalomaniac is a Columbine disaster just waiting to happen.

    Nepotism aside, I’m still wondering why the editor is still pulling a paycheck. If Asianweek really expects the public to buy their ‘heartfelt’ apologies, they’re gonna have to do a lot better than cutting ties with a stark raving looney.

    I could only roll my eyes when i heard about this guy. not only are we asian men chop-chop-socky-masters, or takeout boys or misogynists, but now, thanks to eng, we’re racists.

    the host was sharp enough to ask him what happened to make him so angry. aside from anger, there is little explanation for what he’s saying. he needs help.

    DONOVON, thanks for rising above w/ those words of yours. I’m glad you’re on this planet w/ us. peace.

    While it’s no doubt that this guy is a loon, what caused him to think this way?

    The only thing I give him credit for is that he’s not afraid to admit he’s racist rather than the majority of Americans that are racist but choose to hide it.
