AsianWeek's Statement and Apology issued by AsianWeek's Editor-in-Chief Samson Wong.
SAN FRANCISCO (U.S. ASIAN WIRE)
AsianWeek sincerely regrets and apologizes for publishing New York-based contributor Kenneth Engs column in the issue of February 23, 2007. AsianWeek rejects Engs biased views on a critical segment of American society, African Americans.
While AsianWeek continues to truly believe in diversity of opinion and freedom of the press, we are also very aware that the promotion of hate speech is not appropriate, nor should it be encouraged.
Given
that
the
genesis
of
the
American
civil
rights
movement
was
borne
primarily
by
the
African
American
community
through
blood
and
perseverance,
the
failing
of
our
editorial
process
in
allowing
this
opinion
piece
to
go
forward,
was
an
insensitive
and
callous
mistake
that
should
never
have
been
made
by
our
publication.
When his Letter to the Editor was edited before it was printed in the newspaper, longtime Riverside resident Jim Glenn decided to set things straight.
March 6, 2009 - Riverside, California
Riverside resident Jim Glenn wrote a letter supporting the community fight to save the historic Riverside Chinatown site and sent it to the editor of the Press-Enterprise Newspaper, the local newspaper in Riverside, California.
His letter was edited before it was printed in the newspaper and he's angry and wants to set things straight.
Here are his personal comments to Judy Lee, one of the organizers of the Riverside SaveOurChinatown.org which are reprinted here with permission:

Letter

the
Editor
To: Judy Lee
Hi Judy,
Thanks
for
the
e-mail!
You
already
know
how
I
feel
about
what's
happening
with
the
Chinatown
project.
The
developer
was
plainly,
and
blatantly
out
of
line,
so
I
couldn't
keep
my
mouth
shut
after
reading
the
articles
about
what
happened
culminating
in
Scott's
article.
I
really
don't
think
our
city
leaders
really
care
about
preserving
the
Chinatown
location.
I'm
very
angry
with
the
Press-Enterprise.
They
changed
some
of
the
words
in
the
letter
I
originally
sent
to
them.
In
the
original
I
referred
to
George
Wong
as
"Mr.
Wong"
to
show
him
the
proper
respect.
The
newspaper
changed
it
