Biden Commits “Racial Slur”
As NewsBuster Mark Finkelstein pointed out on Friday, there is quite a double-standard in the media concerning what’s acceptable for a Democrat to say versus a Republican. With that in mind, as captured by C-SPAN, Senator Joe Biden (D-Delaware) recently made some comments concerning folks from India that were not at all flattering. As of yet, there appears to be no media outrage. Here’s what Biden said:
“In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.”
Our friend Ian at Expose the Left has the video so that you can watch for yourself to gauge the seriousness of these statements, and what might have happened if a Republican had said the same thing.

Why, that dirty, no-good macaca…
There is no media outrage for a good reason – IT’S JOE BIDEN! – the man is a walking gaffe factory second only to the Duke of Edinburgh!
He’s also, I might add, more pro-India, and has played a significant role in the India-US nuclear deal, than most any other US politician.
He’s a good guy, and most Indians here in the US and back home know it. It’s just a joke – get over it.
