Bettie Cook Scott's racial slurs speak louder than her apology

"A Michigan legislator has apologized for “disparaging remarks” that she said she made against an Asian American opponent for state Senate."

"The Detroit Metro Times reported that state Rep. Bettie Cook Scott used racial slurs, including “ching-chang” and “ching-chong,” when referring to her opponent, state Rep. Stephanie Chang, during a recent Democratic primary."



"Witnesses told the newspaper that during the Aug. 7 election for District 1, which includes Detroit, Scott also called a campaign volunteer an “immigrant” and later said that “these immigrants from China are coming over and taking our community from us.”
