Ann Coulter calls Asians "Mandarins"—Insists She's Correct
Ann Coulter Calls Asian-American People "Mandarins" — and Insists She's Correct
Quote:
During a Friday night appearance on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, political commentator Ann Coulter used the term "Mandarins" to describe Asian-Americans — and didn't back down after MSNBC anchor Joy Reid challenged her.
Coulter described a pro-Trump rally in San Diego, California, as being "one of the most diverse crowds anyone has ever seen." According to Coulter, the crowd comprised of both Latinos — Coulter used the term "Hispanics" — and "Mandarin Chinese with signs for Trump" written in Mandarin.
Coulter also claimed that the "Hispanics" chanted "Build the wall."
When MSNBC anchor Joy Reid challenged Coulter's repeated use of the term, Coulter sniped back at Reid, saying "You're not gonna police my language!"
Famous Asians on Twitter are slamming Ann Coulter.
