Senior Ignatieff Liberal’s “cat meat” comment offends the Chinese community

Chinese Canadian Conservative Association calls on Liberal leader to fire Senior Liberal strategist Warren Kinsella

Toronto – Alex Yuan, chair of the Chinese Canadian Conservative Association called on Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff to distance himself from the comments made by senior Liberal strategist Warren Kinsella. In a recent blog posting Kinsella likened the meat found in Chinese cuisine to cat meat.

“Back in the Big Owe for a couple weeks, so what better way to kick things off than with some BBQ cat and rice at the Yang Sheng, hangout of our youth? Yay!”
Kinsella repeated the offensive comment in a video posting on his website.

“Our community is deeply concerned with Mr. Kinsella’s comments. Kinsella repeats the most vulgar and offensive stereotypes by associating the meat served by Chinese restaurants to cat meat. He has hurt the feelings of the Chinese people and disrespected the Chinese culture,” continued Yuan.

“This is not the first instance of such intolerant remarks by Mr. Kinsella therefore we call upon Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff to fire Mr. Kinsella as his senior strategist and apologize to the community.”

Mr. Kinsella was forced to apologize for another intolerant blog posting in 2007. In the 2007, he wrote a post suggesting that Progressive Conservative MPP Lisa MacLeod would rather bake cookies than run for office.

As I posted on Ezra’s site earlier today, Burny farber and his CJC buddies are not familiar with being “Jewish on the ground” in canada anymore. I then suggested they interview any yarmulke-wearing Jewish males about recent experiences on the Toronto subway.

RG, I’ll be there on Sunday because I have one of those faces that “advertises” my Jewishness with or without a yarmulke (for the record, I forego religious garb of any sort but wear a gold Star of David on a chain around my neck). I could tell you a few thinghs about the reality of being “Jewish on the ground” in Toronto in 2009. But as I posted at Levant’s site, I am fortunte to be built like the proverbial brick sh!thouse and usually wear a “Don’t f*ch with me ‘cuz I f*ck back really hard” look on my face, a remnant of my years in the military. Suffice to say that Muslim males are cowards (remember how they hide behind women and children!).

So if you are there on Sunday and a really scary looking Jewish guy is standing beside you, feel SAFE! It’ll just be me or one of my thre brothers (also larg

Funny, Ignatieff said almost the exact same thing 5 years ago.

You are a classic RG.

If Warren was intending on attending, highly unlikely of course, you just scared his sensitive little ass away. Good job.

Someone should inform Churches in the area. I know many evangicals that would go. Catholics as well.
Time we stood up for the G-D of Abraham , Isaac & Jacob. For the law & prophets. Whom Christians believe where fulfilled in the Christ or Messiah. I bet there are plenty of Messianic Jewish congregations as well.
