80-20 is a joke.
What began as a rant and rave against a self-aggrandizing S. B. Woo has turned into a full fledged passion of anger and utter hate for the 80-20 group. You see, on my blog, I have the right to be partial and bias, because…well…it is my blog. However, when an Asian-American PAC goes around acting like a child and moreso like one man’s view points instead of that of his constituents, that’s when we got a problem.
It doesn’t take much to read S. B. Woo or 80-20’s material and realize: Wow, this does not represent Asian Americans in both perspective and display of professionalism. Case and point, the following article.
So here’s what happened. 80-20 emailed out to its 700,000 Republican members and told them to email their appropriate white republicans and be all like “care for us asian americans”. To which their 700,000 80-20 republicans replied to the calling:
A huge number responded. They sent emails stating that “if you don’t meet with S. B. Woo, I will vote for all Democrats, and ask all my friends and relatives to do so.” They signed off with their names and addresses.
Is that something to be particularly proud of? If you don’t meet w/ S. B. Woo, then you can forget it…i’m going Democrat! Wha wha wha. Bitch Bitch Bitch. Is this exactly how we want these political parties to think of their Asian American members as? What makes it worse, is that their demand isn’t to address Asian American issues…no no, 80-20 makes S. B. Woo the priority. It’s all about Shien Biau Woo.
I’m not going to go on with this posting. You can go to it and read it for yourself…but it just drags on about how their heroic S. B. Woo was attacked by back stabbing Asian Americans blah blah blah.
This man, i cannot over emphasize, is utter complete bull shit. The organization intimidates its own constituents and then claims a self-declaratory right on any successes. Little do they know that they do not only represent the Asian American community but their utter lack of professionalism makes us all look bad.
Let’s start another Asian American PAC that isn’t revolved around ego and childish threats.

as your one recent commenter, I’d like to add that I just read this article –
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080220/wl_asia_afp/usvoteasia
about the rising significance of “the Asian American vote” and NOT ONCE was that pathetic 80-20 group cited. THANK GOD. That would have been really embarrassing.
