Detroit Rep. Bettie Cook Scott on Asian opponent: 'Don't vote for the ching-chong!'
When you promote identity politics you'll get this. Funny as shit. The Democrat party may eventually break up over it. (Oh, and these are diversity Democrats but I have faith that the local brain trust will find a way to blame Republicans/wypipo.)
More than a dozen community groups have called on Rep. Bettie Cook Scott (D-Detroit) to apologize for a series of racial slurs sources say she used to describe her primary election opponent, Rep. Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit).
Scott is alleged to have referred to Chang as "ching-chang" and "the ching-chong" to multiple voters outside polling precincts during last Tuesday's election. She's also said to have called one of Chang's campaign volunteers an “immigrant,” saying “you don’t belong here” and “I want you out of my country.”
Chang and Scott were running in the Democratic primary for state Sen. District 1. Chang won the election with 49 percent of the vote; Scott came in third with 11 percent of the vote.
