I think talking about a racial demographic and how they do/are something or not because it's "their nature" is racist by definition. Perhaps O'Reilly was talking about Asian cultures in general, but that's still not some homogeneous thing you can call conservative or liberal and also, I'm pretty sure he was just being racist.

Don't get why Jon Stewart plays nice with that guy, and other atrocious people like Huckabee.

I like Stewart as much as the next guy but I don't expect him to viciously upbraid his guests about their spittle-flecked racism or w/e while they're trying to push their book

I mean he's no Neil de Grasse Tyson.
viceroy what if you replaced "their nature" with "their culture" because in fairness to bill i think maybe that's what he means?
not sure if that's still racist or not.
― the late great, Sunday, 6 January 2013 20:56 (eleven years ago) link
no, it's still racist. asians (or any race, immigrant or not, for that matter) are not a monolithic, "good", hard-working people. it may seem odd to complain about a "positive" stereotype, but the whole deal is just another way for conservatives to put down minorities who don't fit these square peg definitions. i've heard it a million times. note how this shit goes hand in hand with lazy blacks/hispanics, sneaky Chinamen, etc (i.e. "why can't they just be one of the good ones" - the kind that don't make trouble)
this case is particularly blatant, he's not even trying to hide his confusing of how the "good Asians" are voting liberal, how perplexing

bill o'reilly knows zero about hawaii and what he says about "asian" nature/culture/whatever in that clip has nothing in it beyond the "they built the railroads and study hard at math" level so

I love Asian supermarkets but I've got to admit that I go in with a certain air of "whoa look at all this weird shit I don't understand, what the heck even is this" which, ok, is kind of racist, since we are on the looking for things to be racist thread
but also I come home with delicious foodstuffs often for cheap

I love asian supermarkets and always hit them when I travel as I can't get a lot of stuff where I live. I've had at least a couple times when people would stare at me while trying to decipher which exact type of pickled vegetable to buy, or tell me which brand of kecap manis is shitty and which to buy instead.
I've had a couple of older women at the checkouts actually get sort of mean, asking me if I knew what I was buying, why I was buying it, what I was going to do with it, and how the hell do I know how to cook Korean or Vietnamese food?
