Thai is a nation, not a race.
Technically, “her family” didn’t fight in the Revolution any more than my family grew rice for a thousand years.

The guy’s response was clever… but not delivered in a clever way… a perfect example of the anger and hate in politics.
Reagan could have delivered the same line with a gentle voice, a smile, and no trace of sarcasm… and gotten applause.

Extremely racist because the guy who said it is a Republican.

The comment may not have been racist, but it sure was one of the most awkward things I have seen in a debate before.
Repubs never have been good with comedy; a quick look at the primetime political comedy show lineup confirms it.

Unfortunately too many Americans can’t tell the difference between a good joke and a good point.
