I read an article in today’s Globe and Mail about a Canadian man that sued a bottling company because he found a fly in his drink. He was actually awarded $341,775 initially. That award has since been stripped. I can’t believe any judge would would ever award him that large sum of money in the first place — or any amount of money for that matter. Anyone who becomes depressed and loses their sex drive over seeing a fly in water is just sad. It’s not like he actually drank the water. One thing I don’t get about the article, though, is why it bothered to mention the man’s ethnicity at all. What relevance does that bear on the story?

Asian Supremacist: Kenneth Eng
March 9th, 2007
I heard about Kenneth Eng last week. He made big news by write a column in AsianWeek talking about why he hates black people. At first I thought it’s just another case of your typical racism, but as I read more about this guy I have come to the conclusion that he is utterly insane. Not only does he hate black people, but he hates white people as well. In justifying his racism, he often backups it up by saying he — and other asians — are superior to black people and white people. He is also a science-fiction writer and often refers back to his own fictional world, about how dragons are superior to humans. He is very strongly against any kind of religion, particularly Christianity, which is the reason he said he hates white people — since Christianity is (according to Kenneth Eng) a white people’s religion. Oh, and on top of all that he also claims to be the “God of the universe.”
