Right-wing radio host Jesse Lee Peterson kicked off his radio program yesterday by railing against Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang’s proposal to provide a universal basic income to all American adults and declaring that Yang “should go back to China or wherever he came from.”
Yang was born in Schenectady, New York.
“There is this little Asian guy or Chinese guy or whatever he is, he should go back to China or wherever he came from,” Peterson said. “You allow these people to come into our country and they come in with their socialist, communist ideas.”
“Can we send this guy back to wherever he came from?” Peterson continued. “Let him go over there and give away free stuff. Why is he coming here to turn America into the place that he left?”
“What a sick person,” he added. “Beta male. They need to send him back to Taiwan or wherever he came from.”

All these racist a**holes who say “send them back to wherever they came from” should themselves be send back… To their father’s scrotum. Seriously, this scum is an utter waste of a perfectly good eggcell, right?
But seriously, you want all immigrants to get out of the US? How about all of you start by leaving and giving it back to the Native Americans, jackass.
Is it really necessary to state that this loathsome excuse for a person calling itself Jesse Lee Peterson is a right winger? Of course he is; only right wing majini are that ignorant & hateful. Lefties don’t even come close to their level of hateful idiocy.
Yang has some good ideas but he’s not going anywhere.

Eh, you’d be surprised how incredibly mean true left-wingers can be. Like “everyone remotely to the right of me is a fascist nazi who needs to be killed”.
True, they tend to be less racist, but some of them can be equally insane as the right-wingers they so hate.
But of course if one were to tell Jesse Lee Peterson, who is black, to ‘go back to Africa’, he’d cry “racism”.
If you think it so bad with basic rights for all, why don’t YOU go back to where YOU came from, dearie?
If you don’t like giving away free stuff, why didn’t you say so when the Orange Clown gave away your tax-money to the already filthy-rich?
You’re aware that China and Taiwan are bitter enemies, right? That’s like conflating the US of A with Cuba, or Mexico, or Russia.
His parents might have moved away from Taiwan because of oppression or threats from China.
How is it sick to want to help the poor? Was Jesus a sick person?
What Swede said; Also, Peterson should take his advice and move to a Western African country.
“Go back to [country]” is not only bigoted, it’s stupid. Many people are of mixed national and/or ethnic ancestry. By their logic, I’d dismember myself and send the bulk of my body to Southern Italy and Sicily and a few appendages to the U.K. and Germany.
Finally; Most who make that argument (other than Peterson) are people descended from Europeans. Why aren’t they busy packing their bags? This is “Indian (Indigenous American) Country” after all!
Dear, Bigots….

….If you’re not these guys, then MOVE!
I remember this cartoon. It needs to be posted, here….

….Finally; Anyone in the United States that gets xenophobic is an idiot who completely missed the point of the general PREMISE OF THIS COUNTRY and I find it hilarious that xenophobes always accuse immigrants of perpetrating or committing the very stuff they’re TRYING TO ESCAPE FROM!
@Creativerealms
checkmate,
I don't know I believe he has told other African American's to go back to Africa. He's one of those people who thinks racism doesn't exist.
I didn’t mean him asking others to ‘go back’ to Africa. I meant (and wrote his name excplicitly) telling him himself to bugger ‘back’ off to Africa. If he’s skipped over blacks in this regard and only included other ethnicities, then he’s a cynical hypocrite. I know has has included blacks in other racially motivated attacks. Perhaps his mirror is broken.
Beta male. They need to send him back
Who was in the White House from 2009 - 2017...?! The only beta male we can see here is you .
Your 'logic', Jessie? Well on the basis of mine, which - if you think your 'logic' has the right to exist - you must follow to it's ultimate conclusion: you first.
...what, don't like the sound of that Jessie? Well, now you know how you sound to everyone else: ergo your 'argument' never had the right to exist in the first place.
@ checkmate
If it was a white person telling JLP to ‘go back where he came from,’ he’d snap into a salute and pack his bags with a hearty, “Yes Sir, Mister White Person Sir! And thank you for letting this poor negro live in your pure white country in the first place. I only hope I didn’t negrify it too much with my blackness!” The man is the first black white supremacy apologist I’ve ever seen.
I certainly can’t truthfully claim that all lefties are intelligent, gentle souls who love everyone & truly want what’s best for all, but fortunately, the extreme crackpots are relegated to the fringes of the left, where they belong. No one takes them seriously, nor should they. There are asshole lefties, but compared to the right wing, they are practically manna from heaven. The right wing can’t get any more right-they’ll fall off the earth, which they claim is flat.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
