Brown's Non-Apology to "These People"

Someone please tell Betty Brown to just be quiet. Seriously, if anyone considers Rep. Brown a friend, call her and tell her to QUIT TALKING. Because she's just making things worse. If it quacks like a culturally insensitive person, it is a culturally insensitive person. This (to Ramey Ko, of all people), who was testifying before the Texas House committee hearing the Voter ID bill:

"Well, rather than everyone here having to learn Chinese, as I understand, it's a rather difficult language," said Brown. "Do you think it would behoove you and your citizens to adopt a name that we could deal with more readily here? This is something that would make it a lot easier both for you and poll workers if there was some name you could adopt just for these identification purposes that would be easier for Americans to deal with," said Brown.

Then, this "apology" (?) on KXAN:

"We're ready to work with any of these people who are having problems and have them educate us on anything that might be going on that we're unaware of," said Brown.

"These people." "You and your citizens." (She knows "these people" are U.S. citizens, right?) "Easier for Americans to deal with." (because Ko, who is Asian American and a graduate of a certain fine university where a certain sitting American president with a non-Caucasian sounding name was his professor, is not American?) I'd be real curious to know if Brown can spell and pronounce "Barack Obama." UPDATE: Oh, my. Here's the YouTube of Betty Brown and Ramey Ko at the hearing. At about the one minute mark, hear Brown ask if Chinese people need ID to vote in elections in China. Oh, hahahaha! Much laughter from the audience. Oh, those crazy East Texas legislators are so funny! Hear Ko school Brown (at about 3 min.) on transliteration and then Brown's fab idea for Chinese people to use a fake voter ID name that "YOU could use with US." She also compliments young person, Ramey Ko, on being bright (at about 6:30)! Some of the most hilarious, yet disturbing 7 minutes of your life. Ko is remarkably patient. And, bright!
