wow - I didn't see the other sign either until Joe pointed it out. The Asians either can't make signs in English or can't make them at all. It looks like they're teaching the 2 year olds cooking, etc. but then underneath it mentions the afterschool program for 12 year olds - what a hoot!
I DON'T like that this program is for free - some investigative reporter should go a little deeper into this - day care centers are extremely expensive - why is this for "free" (if indeed it is). . . and are the segregated?. . . . are Americans NOT ALLOWED?
if it's free, there's some government money behind it. the parents provide vouchers that HRA gives them.
can you spell J-A-C-K-P-O-T? as in Jackpot babies?
Asians, as a ethnic group, receive the highest amount of government benefits in the USA.

First of all, "Asian" is not an ethnicity you simpletons. Considering that Russians, Saudis, Indians, Chinese and Vietnamese (not to name countless others) all fall under the umbrella term, maybe you could develop a little nuance in your Engrish vocabulary before you commence your xenophobic flapdoodle.
Second, how is this "for lease" poster different from any other? Or was this just another cheap opportunity for the Crapper to appease his peanut gallery with a shot at some anti-Asian rantings?
Of, relating to, or characteristic of a sizable group of people sharing a common and distinctive racial, national, religious, linguistic, or cultural heritage.
Asians are of the same race.
Since the term "Asian-Americans" is bandied about frequently by none other than John Liu, it shouldn't offend you.
Now, as for your other point, please show me where it says "for lease" on that sign.
Anonymous - the definition of Asian according to U.S. Census Bureau and from their website:
"A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam. It includes "Asian Indian," "Chinese," "Filipino," "Korean," "Japanese," "Vietnamese," and "Other Asian."
"The concept of race as used by the Census Bureau reflects self-identification by people according to the race or races with which they most closely identify. These categories are sociopolitical constructs and should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature. Furthermore, the race categories include both racial and national-origin groups."
I know that even though many of you "true Americans" have lived here for generations, there is still a serious illiteracy problem. Just where on the daycare center sign does it say its affiliated with Asians. Also check out the immanuelgenius.com website. It shows nothing but a whole bunch of white folks having fun in their free upk, which, by the way, is available to all 4 y.o.s., laughing at the colored hordes that have "invaded" their lands and learned to speak, read and write english better than the "natives."
When I clicked on "Free UPK" I got a picture of 2 black kids. And when I clicked on the media report, I got a female anchor talking in Korean, and without translation. You sure we're looking at the same site?

Asians are of the SAME RACE??? Are you trying to tell me that the Ainu in Japan and Han Chinese and the Hmong people and residents of Peshawar all share a "distinctive racial heritage"? Try telling THEM that! By the definition you cite, those groups are clearly of disparate ethnicities.
Crapper, your education must have been as crappy as your name. Really, wearing your ignorance on your sleeve should be a fashion faux pas.
By the way, I don't give a rat's left butt cheek how the US Census defines "Asian" - they're experts on counting people, not on understanding them - and I care even less who John Liu invites to be Asian when he speaks inclusively. These conversational paths are decoys.
Now, as for your other point, please show me where it says "for lease" on that sign.
Please, your crappy pedantry wears thin. Do you really expect me to engage in an argument with you over whether a sign reading "Lease" means something different than one reading "For Lease"?
The sign says "LEASE Rosa Chung". The entire post was supposed to be humorous. I don't see other real estate signs written like this.
And if you have issues with the way the country or the dictionary define race, maybe you should either take it up with them or just get a fucking life.
Crappy - everyone ELSE sees the humor . . . . AND nobody ELSE (with the exception of a few loonie tunes) gives a crap how the Census Bureau defines race.

I'm surprised she even has a sign in English. They usually only like to swap properties with each other.
I went and saw a house in College Point two years ago and the Asian owner and Asian agent were almost shocked to see our white faces.

Benny Hill had a good parody of a sign like this, it said:
HOMES TO LET
and changed it to:
HOLMES TOILET
FUNNY!!!
Benny Hill - one of comedy's great ones.
