Rosie O'Donnell Pissing Off Asian-Americans

TMZ reports:

According to Page 6, Asian-Americans are fuming at "The View" host for saying that Danny DeVito's drunken antics made headlines in China that read: 'Ching chong, ching ching chong, Danny DeVito!" "The use of the distorted phrases is insulting to the Chinese and Chinese-Americans, and gives the impression that they are a group that is substandard to English-speaking people," says the Asian-American Journalists Association. But Rosie's rep thinks they just don't get it: "I certainly hope that one day they will be able to grasp her humor."

You almost get the feeling that offensive outbursts that target very specific groups of people (*cough* Mel Gibson, Isaiah Washington, Michael Richards *cough*) are very "in" this year and it makes it look like Rosie's trying to jump on the bandwagon before it's passé. Cause I mean, seriously, you wouldn't want to be caught dead in last year's scandal.
