And part of the problem here is that as we see these interconnections relate to policy, the question was we do not see the systematic abuse of Latin Americans or of African Americans or of Greek Americans. We did not hear how other groups were manipulated, but we saw Asian Americans basically being told if they want to have influence in the White House, as Johnny Chung says, ``It is like a subway; you have to put the coins in,'' and it is unfortunate that many of these people are Asian Americans, but it is not our fault. It is who abused them, who used them, who sold democracy to them. And they should be so angry right now and so irate at this administration for how they abused Asian Americans in these instances.
