They mostly have small businesses though, not really the focus of right-wing policies.

Yeah I remember that. He looked very hurt and upset while giving that rant. It's very clear that he draws a line between whites and those who aren't white and those lines in his mind constitute different morals, classes and beliefs. The guy has a very twisted view on society and race.
I hate that a guy like this has a mouthpiece and can influence millions.

Don't worry:
is on the case.
But he's racist.
I do love when white men group all of Asia together while actually referring to those of us with slanted eyes. Nevermind that Asia is probably the most diverse looking region on the planet. But I do wonder if the Indian, Pakistani and other Stani nations feel left out. 
sucks to be them........
sucks to be them........American's, when talking about 'Asians' are usually referring to a very specific group in the continent of Asia. We as a whole rarely even think of Pakistani or Indians as asian.I do love when white men group all of Asia together while actually referring to those of us with slanted eyes.

I rather be labeled as "Asians" then the general white generated label of
Terrorist when "white america" is talking about Pakistani or Indians
I don't agree with this NOPE
but thats just how ignorant most people can be.... or the fucking media that is just fucking sucks

It was a come on, the correct response is to say " well I certainly know how to handle figures".
I know, I know. He's just simply feeding into the generalization though. Which just exposes his ignorance even further.
As a native Hawaiian, Japanese, Irishman, this notion of grouping or classification is a hilarious line of thinking to me.

Are Russians considered Asian? A lot of Russians look white right? If they aren't, it's funny how everyone gets clumped together but separate from whites. Europe physically is not it's own continent. It too should be a part of Asia, but it's it's own for some reason.I do love when white men group all of Asia together while actually referring to those of us with slanted eyes.

Would he have fallen foul of the GAF police if he'd said that they are liberal by nature? What if he'd said Californians? Americans?

All they needed was Michelle Malkin.
Why didn't they get her to co-sign everything Bill had to say? That's her typical job on Fox News.

As a white member of the GAF police, I've never been more offended in my life.
Consider yourself arrested.
GAF police gun git ya.

As people have pointed out he didn't insult Asians, but his comments are symptomatic of the rights inability to understand why so many minority groups despise them.

Calling a group racist...isn't racist. It's a generalization and that's what political parties are, generalizations.
With that said, just because you're republican doesn't make you a racist true. But if you're a racist you're most likely republican.

Hey, keep it in perspective. O Reilly just complimented a racial minority!
Are Asians usually offendable people by nature?

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Now you've got me curious. In what context did he say Christianity was not a religion?
EDIT: Nevermind, found the clip. Good lord.
You just know that he wanted to add "...unlike those [other racial group]" after that. You know, the naturally liberal, lazy ones.

To use my mother's formulation: Liberal -> Progressive -> Communist -> Anti-Business -> Anti-America -> Anti-Christian, Anti-White.

Tide comes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You cant explain that. You cant explain why the tide goes in.
Yeah, that was a shining moment. I used to think "no-spin zone" was really offensive, basic consumer fraud, but now I understand that what he does goes beyond spin. It is more than spin. It is something more potent.

I think sometimes he actually doesn't mean to be incendiary, but is just fucking terrible at expressing himself.
A big part of the reason for Europe being considered separate is that the back in the classical/post-classical period most Europeans had a very limited sense of geography outside the Mediterranean area, and "Asia" originally referred simply to what is now called the Near/Middle East. They weren't aware that the larger Eurasian landmass just blended together. That said, I'm sure cultural arrogance played a role in Europe continuing to be identified separately even after cartography improved.
He posted a link to some site where he'd uploaded 1300 porn GIFs. I'm pretty sure that's what brought the hammer down.

Am I the only one that hates this argument?
"you can't explain ________, hence it defaults to god/divine intervention"?
After the election there was all this talk about how Republicans could court other ethnic groups. The first thing that came to mind was that they should offer Asians official "White" status. Secretly, I think many Asians (especially older ones) already think of themselves as White. I'm not saying Asians secretly wish they were Caucasian only that culturally they align themselves more with White people than anyone else. Especially Northern East Asians who clearly see themselves as cultural elites. They also definitely don't see themselves as being part of this pan-cultural "Brown" category either.
But before I get called out for sounding racist (I'm really not trying to only acknowledging realities within my personal experience) let me illustrate: Say you are Korean, you know and I know that your conservative as fuck father, a guy who says little other than when he's playing paduk with his brothers, and spends all of his free time going on fishing trips by himself, would secretly be delighted if he could check "White" on an official form instead of "Asian/Pacific Islander". Of course he probably doesn't ever fill out forms and doesn't vote either, but you know what I mean.

I like how Bill O'Reilly is on TV as some 'common man' with 'common sense' yet he is so old and so rich that he is completely out of touch with the modern world and common people that what he says is so often completely wrong.
But that doesn't matter . . . what is more important is that it matches up with the cranky old white people that sit around and watch Fox News and thus reinforces what they want to be true regardless if whether it is actually true.
