    And I always thought Duke was an excellent school. I guess you can find idiot racists anywhere.

    Sheesh, if I’d known this, I never would have stayed in a high school classroom teaching for 33 years! I should have talked to Hough years ago since he appears to know what it’s like to be black in America. This tool probably sees Black Americans working on campus with him everyday, even in his own department, and the fact that he has the nerve to say this openly tells me how deep his racist roots are embedded in his heart and soul.

      you said it.

    “The Asians” That’s right, the people who inhabit a couple of dozen countries, who all have their own histories, cultures, and languages can all be lumped together in one word, Asians, without learning about their differences. What do the Chinese, Japanese, Indonesians, Indians, Koreans (just to start) have in common, except that one word, Asians?

    • NW10 May 17th, 2015 at 8:01 pm

      I’m surprised he didn’t use the racial “C” word which I will not post.

        I work in human resources, and it’s always bothered me that we have to keep statistics for the Labor Dept about demographics for job applicants. They have to indicate what ethnic group they fit in. One choice is Asian, as if they all belong to the same group. They don’t any more than all American Indians consider themselves in the same group. Or Africans. Or Europeans. But according to the gumint, they do.

          Or Latino. What do Peruvians have in common with Cubans?

          my son is bi-racial, and when i would have to fill out, every year, this application they send home, there’s AA, black, white, etc. and they would have him check off as black or AA, can’t remember, but, i would scratch through it and write bi-racial. i did that ever year. it was the last 2 years of school that it came with a message stating only check one and no scratching out. and i noticed it said “bi-racial” there you go. it took years for them to figure that out.

          • Larry Schmitt May 17th, 2015 at 10:33 pm

            2 or more races is an option now.

          • whatthe46 May 17th, 2015 at 10:46 pm

            i needed at least 4.

          I always check CaucASIAN and scribble ‘purt near’ aside it.

          sometimes I check ‘other’ though.

      Have you wondered about his comment I think about Chinese giving their children “American” names…he’s so full of it.

    • granpa.usthai May 18th, 2015 at 2:18 am

      so – uh, you saying all Asians are Chinese or Japanese?

  6. allison1050 May 17th, 2015 at 7:59 pm

    Racist pig.

    duke is and has been a hotbed for southern racism for decades – if this suspension doesn’t turn out to be a firing, duke should lose all fed monies.

    An education is a terrible thing to waste.

    Time will give me the pleasure of knowing his bones will bleach before mine.

    I hope this doesn’t hurt their recruiting class of top athletes around the nations inner cities. Nah, if law makers who suppressed the aca in southern states because of our nations 1st non white president with a “strange” name how could this possibly hurt?

    If I was a parent of a top recruit, I would tell my son or daughter you could get the same education in a state or school that wasn’t a den of racism, at the same time helping the ncaa make billions off the blood and sweat of our children.
    Actions such as bills passed can speak louder than words, but words can be a barometer of ones actions.

    The professor needs to read and study more and watch less 700 Club.

    Sorry lefties but Prof. Hough is substantially right in his comments.
