Fox News host Bob Beckel used a racial slur in a rant about China on 'The Five' Thursday.

"The Chinese are the single biggest threat to the national security of the U.S.," he said. "They have been, they will be and they can wait, they're very patient. Do you know what we just did? As usual, we bring them over here and we teach a bunch of Chinamen -- er, Chinese people -- how to do computers and then they go back to China and hack into us."

The other 'Five' hosts gaped in disbelief.

"That is going to end up on 'The Soup,'" Andrea Tantaros said.

Sadly, this isn't the first time Beckel has made an offensive comment about Asian people.

Last year, he said that, after he went swimming, his "eyes blew up, and it made me look Oriental."

He's also used the term "crackers" to describe white people.

Classy!

Are you honestly surprised? Fox News is notorious for reporting whatever the f*ck they please and they suffer zero consequences because it's "freedom of speech" and "freedom of the press". They could care less about the truth and are a lie machine.

And I didn't think that the slur was the racist part of this, the bad part was when he said that chinese always come to US as hackers

A) It's not an overly offensive term

 

B) He instantly corrected himself and used another more appropraite term

 

:later:

 

He totally could have gone about this in a better way though.

English is not my native language but almost so.. Chinaman = man from China, Oriental = Asian, East. If this is right, why are these racial slurs? You can't beat that a Chinese person is from China or East, right? :emma:

The term "Chinamen" is offensive?

Tbh I didn't know it was a slur before coming into this thread, but apparently it is. You learn something new everyday, eh?

"Most British dictionaries see the term Chinaman as old-fashioned, and this view is backed up by data from the British National Corpus" the word is usually used to describe the whole of East Asia, not just China as well, making it derogatory. 

 

As for Oriental:

"With the anti-war movement in the ’60s and early ’70s, many Asian Americans identified the term ‘'Oriental'’ with a Western process of racializing Asians as forever opposite ‘others’."
