Even More Racist Than Schwoeffermann: Kenneth Eng
Former OC Editor-in-Chief and man-about-town Pete Hunt sent me this article in the Village Voice concerning racist hack* Kenneth Eng. If you’re not familiar with Eng, back in February he wrote an article for the Bay Area-based newspaper AsianWeek titled “Why I Hate Blacks.” As you might expect, the piece is downright awful and far worse than any diatribe Ty Schwoeffermann has ever written, which is saying a lot. AsianWeek took the column down from its website, but blogger Phil Yu reposted it, noting that Eng has also written pieces entitled “Proof That Whites Inherently Hate Us” and “Why I Hate Asians.” (At least we know Eng’s an equal opportunity racist.)
In the ensuing media uproar, Eng appeared on Fox News to defend the piece in question, but immediately attempted to promote his self-published book, “Dragons: Lexicon Triumvirate,” which–as you may deduce from the title–is about dragons.
In April, Eng garnered attention again by posting a video on YouTube, in which he stated that reading about the Virginia Tech shooting was the “funniest thing [he] ever read in [his] life.”
Now Eng is trying to claim credit for Seung-Hui Cho’s murderous rampage, and tells the Voice that he once planned to go own his own shooting spree at NYU, but couldn’t afford a firearm. Jeebus.
Again, I dislike bringing attention to more racist nonsense–especially when it’s obviously being used to promote a terrible-looking book–but, on the other hand, it’s sadly entertaining.
Oh, and then there’s this guy, who doesn’t appear to be racist but is probably a little nuts.
Evil academia has educated you stupid! If you cannot understand timecube, then you will resort to cannabalism!
“what?”
NACHOS IS TRUTH!
TIME IS TRUTH!
“Time is not a concept.”
That’s the first line? Ooh, I need to keep readin!
“Rifts in time during the Middle Ages allow humans to summon powerful prehistoric beasts and future technologies in this fantastic novel…”
Dude, SO on my summer reading list.
I hates Whitey so bad!
I guess Cho had his poorly written plays, and Eng has his crappy book. Neither of these dudes do much to improve the media impression of the North American Asian male.
On the other hand, I’m pretty frikkin’ awesome.
Sho hates Whitey!
Dude, I was so obsessed with that book cover when I first came across it several months ago. I mean, that dragon is packing some fucking heat.
You can read excerpts from the book. I have and — wow, just wow — terrific stuff. The guy obviously has problems, and I get the impression that he gets his ass kicked practically everytime he leaves his house, which isn’t very often, as he is a self-described chronic masturbator.
