Just b/c someone says something that is not PC that does not make them automatically a bigot. Bigotry is not the same thing as ignorance. He's an American, speaking in America regarding America and in America you have a First Amendment right to say things that piss other people off. Thank God that I live in a country where people are able to say things that I find offensive, lord help us when we reach the point where we are told what to think and say and everyone thinks and says the same thing.
What he said may be ignorant but by no means is he a freaking bigot. Bigots are hateful and afraid of what is different. If he had said that he thought that it was wrong that there was an increase in the Indian American population or if he had said that he hated Indian THOSE WOULD'VE BEEN BIGOTED STATEMENTS.
he was actually paying a compliment to indians with this comment, saying that they are entrepreneurial and own all the 7-11s and Dunkin Donuts in Delaware...hes just kind of clumsy with words, but people are being overly sensitive. The 'Apu' stereotype may be a little annoying, but the fact is that Apu is probably the second richest guy in Springfield aside from Mr. Burns
C'mon, that's like someone saying a large constituency of their community is african-american and they can't go to a KFC or a liquor store without dark skin. Completely bigoted.
A democrat who makes that remark is okay, but conservatives who want stronger borders are racists?
What the hell has happened to the county i hold so close to my heart.

I don't know if he's a bigot or not but that was a profoundly idiotic thing to say. And from a man who wants to be president no less. What a moron.

that doesn't necessarily make him a bigot.

According to '05 census numbers, Asian-Indians make up 1% of Delaware's population. I would hardly consider that a "large constituency."

If you think this comment shows bigotry you are an idiot. It's simple as that.

It may not be the most blatant form of bigotry, but perpetuating this racial stereotype is prejudicial enough to warrant the label of 'bigot'.
