Can't we all just get along?

I've heard that irony has gone out of style, but when I read that a weekly paper called AsianWeek had run an opinion piece titled "Why I Hate Blacks," I assumed it had to be some kind of - well, black humor. The weekly has pulled the story off their website but you can read parts of the attention-getting column here, and reportedly the paper is still on the streets. (I can't find the source today but somewhere I read this weekly was subsidized by the City of San Francisco as an "outreach" tool. That's embarrassing.) The latest is that this 22-year old deep thinker who wrote the piece has now been fired. I guess his earlier masterpieces (see titles here) did not give any indication of racist tendencies in his writing. The AP says:

Kenneth Eng, who has described himself as an "Asian Supremacist," has written several columns for AsianWeek since November, including pieces titled "Proof That Whites Inherently Hate Us" and "Why I Hate Asians."
Unfailingly, these "blatant racist revealed" stories bring on wailing and gnashing of teeth, apologies, promises of reform, and no doubt someone will convene some kind of "dialogue" in the community. All of which will result in - no difference. It's one thing to hold a community meeting to talk about improving a park, or widening a street, or housing density. These are tangible, physical things that can be changed. I don't think attitudes about race get changed by talking. I don't know if there is racism gene, that some people are born with the tendency, but I do know racism is a learned behavior, and it is well taught in many ways and places. The only cure for a person who is biased against a selected culture (because it is really more other cultures that we fear than other skin colors) is to live within that culture, walk a mile in those shoes. Since one who is racist (fearful) is unlikely seek immersion in that thing they hate, the chance of meaningful change is slim.

The saddest part is that this Kenneth Eng guy (whose column was titled "God of the Universe," by the way, and is some kind of science fiction writer - suggested book title, Ken: "Hatey McHateful and the KKK Conquer Mars!") will be some kind of hero to a lot of other twisted souls. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

A strange hopelessness threatened underneath the pleasant thrum of release, but he fought it off. Not so strange to be fucking Hyle, but where had the compulsion come from? His hands at her waist steadied her as he obediently scooted forward in the chair. She recognized that particular position from prior matches and knew it wasnt one easily broken. The thought of lashing out at Brevin, Lanthan, or Tykir fizzled as it occurred. He pulled her into a hug. Radin asked after theyd traveled a distance in silence. Im so proud of you. The room was in partial disarray, furniture turned in odd angles. All she wanted to do was run screaming or shove hot pokers in her eyes. She couldnt do this anymore. She began to gather protection for the bedroom itself. I didnt say we werent mad. Should I take that as a yes? The larger part of her brain writhed with the rest of her body. Lanthan kissed the back of her shoulder then his cock eased free. Her pulse sped as he crossed her threshold. She nodded, understanding the attraction from Brevins, Lanthans, and Tykirs points of view. But she needed to know one more thing. How could I deny such a lovely request?

He shrugged, stepping around her so he could sit to put on his boots. They had both recognized Salins unique voice when hed spoken through his mindlink with Radin. She turned down the wide corridor that stretched past the arched entrance to the gardens. She recognized that particular position from prior matches and knew it wasnt one easily broken. She wanted to lash out at Nialdlye, but that was wrong.
