O'Donnell apologizes, sort of

"O'Donnell apologizes for Chinese parody: But comedian warns she is likely to spoof languages again"

"Comedian Rosie O'Donnell, a co-host on the television talk show 'The View,' apologized this morning for mocking spoken Chinese - following mounting protest from Asian Americans in the Bay Area and across the country."

"On Thursday, O'Donnell expressed surprise when she learned that some Asian Americans considered speaking in that kind of sing-song accent an insult as grave as calling a black person by the N-word."

Previously, according to an SF Gate article, she had written on her blog ... that she "wasn't mocking / that's my best impression" and that her "bad accent was not meant to insult or degrade / linguistic incompetence -- guilty / mocking -- never." She tells one detractor to go "f- urself."

Accent? That was an accent?! I don't think so.

After viewing the video of the segment online, I wrote a complaint to ABC -- one of the many Asian Americans from the Bay Area that did it seems.
