She is Asian too.

I, along with a few other people, chased the moron out of the store, but it just seemed so surreal to see it firsthand and then to see the things repeated. It's like there's racist talking points or something.

The caller is actually rather polite for a racist. She is clearly ignorant of the fact the US is already part of a global society. Global trade doesn't exist without global partnerships.

The timbre of the voice pretty much places her in the late middle-aged white, woman category that voted for Trump. I'm not trying to be offensive or to paint a broad brush. The fact is a lot of women in the same age range as her made very bad decisions in the last election. Many of them, not all, still vote with their husbands/fathers/brothers. I grew up with these ladies and many of them broke free of the bonds of their "women are home makers" upbringing. Too many didn't.

I half expected her to hyperventilate and we'd hear her hit the ground. Thanks for empowering the kooks, Trump! They're almost as good as you are at making complete asses out of themselves.

The caller also questioned whether she pays taxes—saying that she’s suspicious because does not see Asians paying for tax preparation services at the mall.

You deplorable moron you made laugh tonight for the sad reason you are hilariously stupid I know it's wrong but I just can't help it
