Reclaiming my time. They learned their lesson. They stopped using such terms. They learned their lesson. They understood what this House should understand. They understood that the use of such terms stokes racism, stokes anti-Asian sentiment, and they stopped using the term because they learned the lesson. All we are saying is the White House should learn the same lesson, and they should stop using the term. And for that matter, Members of this House should stop using the term because it deliberately stokes anti-Asian sentiment. The Washington Post learned that lesson and ceased using such terms. The Washington Post learned the lesson. We are not saying that everyone knew this initially, but it is clear. It is now clear. The Washington Post learned its lesson and stopped using such terms. The New York Times learned its lesson when they realized that it was stoking anti-Asian sentiment and stopped using this term. We are saying that the White House and Members of this House and anyone else should learn the same lesson and not stoke anti-Asian sentiment by continuing the use of terms that we know stoke anti-Asian sentiment. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Bera).
