Surprised Clarence Thomas didn't die too.  Must be his first dissent from Scalia since '94.

Holy crap.  He picked quit a time to die.

You know, if his fellow hunters weren't so damn anxious to get out there, and had checked to see if the 79 year old who was complaining about feeling ill the previous evening was okay he might still be alive.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

For diversity reasons, Obama might nominate an Asian-American.

For trolling reasons, Obama should nominate a Muslim. :D

I don't think Asians have enough group identity as Asians for patronage to work.  I don't think that when a Chinese-American hears about a Japanese-American being appointed to whatever that they think "one of us!"

Indian-Americans seem the fast growing cohesive, rich, and powerful of the Asians in America now.

That might be a generational thing.

The immigrants themselves sure, but I thought their kids assimilated into a broad Asian American group.

Or we could just pick the best person for the job.

I don't believe Scalia was a fan of Long Dong Silver either.

I definitely don't believe you have any Asian unity in the US acrossie Indians and East Asians.
