Palin's Father: She Left Hawaii Because Asians Made Her Uncomfortable

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/06/palins-father-she-left-ha_n_381724.html



Did Sarah Palin leave Hawaii because there were too many Asians? In the New Yorker review of "Going Rogue," Sam Tanenhaus writes that Palin's father suggested as much to the reporters who wrote "Sarah From Alaska." The account contradicts the former Alaska governor's own description of her reasons for leaving college in Hawaii after only one semester.

Palin, though notoriously ill-traveled outside the United States, did journey far to the first of the four colleges she attended, in Hawaii. She and a friend who went with her lasted only one semester. "Hawaii was a little too perfect," Palin writes. "Perpetual sunshine isn't necessarily conducive to serious academics for eighteen-year-old Alaska girls." Perhaps not. But Palin's father, Chuck Heath, gave a different account to Conroy and Walshe. According to him, the presence of so many Asians and Pacific Islanders made her uncomfortable: "They were a minority type thing and it wasn't glamorous, so she came home." In any case, Palin reports that she much preferred her last stop, the University of Idaho, "because it was much like Alaska yet still 'Outside.' "

The passage was first flagged by Issac Chotiner at The New Republic, who wondered why it hadn't gotten any media attention.

1. Ya - the cheerleader looks like shit compared to those Hotties

"I just can't handle the stress of looking so last place - again"





"The Humanity, the humanity - the humanity"

[DireStrike]

36. well those HAVE to be fake.

Even regardless, palin loses by just about the longest possible shot.

[left coaster]

2. Sarah Palin: Pathological Narcissist, Idiot, Quitter, and..

certified racist.

[Bitwit1234]

15. Quitter is right

does this woman finish anything...she can't even finish a bus tour selling a book she had to take a plane.

[bullwinkle428]

32. Her FLIGHT to her "Bus Tour Book Signing" event in Iowa was

2 hours late today!!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

All of the FALINATORS standing in a cordoned-off line in the darkness with blankets wrapped around them had to stand around for that much longer because she couldn't be bothered keeping to the actual schedule.

She used the excuse that she was busy visiting wounded soldiers at Walter Reed hospital! Ya know...we can actually verify things if we have to.

[proud patriot]

16. exactly

[Kerrytravelers]

3. And there goes the Asian vote.

Keep talkin', Sarah and fam! :rofl:

[boobooday]

4. Asians aren't "glamorous"

A dog whistle I had never heard before. Leave it to Sarah.

Minorities are so unglamorous!

[TheWraith]

5. A "minority type thing"? What the fuck does that mean? nt

[Catshrink]

7. It's code for "they ain't like us"

or, in Palin-speak, "they ain't real Americans."

[nadinbrzezinski]

41. It could be something else

and just as ugly. In Hawaii... the precious dear WAS the minority and she did not like that one bit.

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. I can only imagine how the Asians felt with that nitwit in their midst.

:rofl:

[MadMaddie]

8. Color me surprised!

:wow: NOT!!

[rcrush]

9. I need to work on being more glamorous.

[clear eye]

10. It means in her racist mind she couldn't be the star

that she'd been in high school. She couldn't figure out how to get in to the in-crowd, and put down the outsiders. Those who she saw as "outsiders" were a majority in Hawaii, so she was stumped.

I wonder if her dad knew that he was publicly betraying her with his answer? Probably not. It sounds like he was just trying to repeat what he remembers from her babblings at the time.

[tblue37]

12. People who are deeply racist do not realize that there is even anything wrong with their

racism or that others do not necessarily agree with or approve of said racism. They betray themselves with their own words because they have no clue that others will react badly to those words.

[jaysunb]

18. Very well put !

:thumbsup:

[patrice]

23. Perhaps he was validating how uncomfortable-making Asians/non-Whites are, ie dogwhistling.

[rocktivity]

11. Rocktivity: Palin Left Hawaii Because Asians Made Her Intellectually Inferior

rocktivity

[izquierdista]

21. Not very difficult

She probably ran home from dog training class because the dogs were quicker on the uptake than she was.

[Ikonoklast]

13. Went back to where she wouldn't have to see anyone that wasn't White.

Please let this woman run for president.

Please.





She could have Gen. Custer as a running mate, just to make it a complete disaster.

[omega minimo]

14. The quote doesn't make any sense, does it? Unless you speak Ignorance?

"They were a minority type thing and it wasn't glamorous, so she came home."

[bettyellen]

31. well she thought she'd be hanging w/ white plantation owners and Magnum PI instead of reg peeps

[Raschel]

38. Like father like daughter. Their sentences make no sense! More word salad, please.

:rofl:

[Monk06]

17. She left Hawaii because they wouldn't show her Obama's birth certificate

[dkf]

19. Where are her classmates?

I'd sure love to hear more about this.

[snagglepuss]

20. Good idea. I hope someone tracks them down though they probably

wouldn't remember her.

[Kerrytravelers]

22. Somehow, I think five minutes with Sarah is unforgettable.

Unforgettable stupidity.

[KamaAina]

24. Stupid haole.

:P

[Swamp Rat]

25. President Palin would be rounding up Asians by now, sending them to Halliburton death camps...

... in her dreams. :)

[patrice]

26. I don't know much about Hawaian culture, but if there's a sexual component, I suspect

that Sarah not only could not compete on looks, she also did not "walk the walk". Perhaps she is what young ladies in my youth referred to as a "cock teaser". She couldn't take the heat, so she had to get out of the kitchen?

Certainly her political campaigning style is based on getting men to thinking with their "little head". Remember the wink?

[HipChick]

28. That would be sexism...it only works one way

she can use it all she wants, but other people can't - she'll accuse them of being sexist

[patrice]

34. So, that would make her one of those people who blame the guy if he were to

react "inappropriately" to, say, a see-through blouse, or any one of several more serious "come ons".

:hide: Now, before the flames start, women can and should be able to get away with that sort of thing as long as they accept the responsibility for being clear about what you and your sheer blouse mean and don't mean; don't say yes, unless you mean yes and only yes without any unstated qualifications. It is possible to say yes to some things, but NO to others if you are clear and HONEST about both. The problem is not only honesty, but also some violence prone males and the many many many uses of "plausible deniability", a.k.a. sexual politics, something I suspect SP is rather well versed in. :hide:

[rurallib]

27. didn't she a;so have a real problem with Eskimos when she was governor?

Didn't she really shit all over them? I can't remember details, all I seem to remember is that she cut payments to them or something.

[HipChick]

29. are you referring to this?

http://news.newamericamedia.org/news/view_article.html?article_id=721a75d018affa9e70bf9e6150a1c906

[rurallib]

35. Yes, I believe so.

[dysfunctional press]

30. being from alaska, she wasn't used to seeing sun-tans...and all those brown people freaked her out.

:shrug:

she likes her men like she likes her glue...
white & pasty

[Lilyeye]

33. Imagine if President Obama had of said some crap like this.

The MSM already tried to crucify him and paint him racist because of something his Pastor said!


"They were a minority type thing and it wasn't glamorous, so she came home." WTF does this shit even mean? I guess we know where the stupidity comes from.

"because it was much like Alaska yet still 'Outside.' " Keyword: There were lots of WHITE people and not many of those minority type thingys to scare me.

[JI7]

37. she also didn't like some black woman who competed in the pageant

i always knew she was racist

[Bosso 63]

39. You think Sarah's dad might have contributed to her personality disorder?

You betcha!

[niyad]

40. k and r--is there no end to this cretin's lack of arcing brain cells?

[Kablooie]

42. I have to say that Asians make me uncomfortable too.

My wife is Asian and she rolls over and takes the all sheets a lot.
