Washington Examiner, March 16, 2018

Last week, President Trump referred to the mayor of Oakland, Calif., Libby Schaaf, as a “disgrace,” and condemned her for spitting at federal efforts to enforce immigration laws. As a former resident of Oakland, I agree with the president.

I grew up in inner-city Oakland and hated it with a passion. Among other things, I hated the regular breakdown of law and order as well as the city’s casual disregard for the well-being of law-abiding citizens.

Schaaf’s recent rhetoric and actions offer the entire country a glimpse of Oakland’s recurring dysfunction.

Creators Syndicate, July 8, 2011

Nationally syndicated columnist Mona Charen recently wrote about Ying Ma’s Chinese Girl in the Ghetto in a column titled “One Way to Make a Conservative.” Referring to the book as a “fascinating memoir,” Charen concludes that Ying Ma’s “journey has made her the very best kind of conservative — one whose love of liberty, order and self-reliance has been forged through gritty experience.”

San Jose Mercury News, May 3, 2010

The year 2010, not yet half over, has brought forth numerous sadistic black-on-Asian attacks. One question now stares everyone in the face: What role did racism play in these incidents?

Between late March and early April, five black teenagers assailed five older Asian women, including one who was 71, on separate occasions in or near a public-housing project on the Lower East Side of New York.
