Shame on Ford for 'Japanese vs. domestic' rhetoric about car pool bill - 9/8/04: "Did anyone in Dearborn realize - or care - that "the Japanese" comment might offend the bill's co-author, George Nakano? Nakano is a U.S.-born Japanese-American from the Los Angeles area who spent four years in an internment camp in World War II.
Did anyone consider that using "the Japanese" argument might not be well received in California, which has the largest Asian population in the country?
Did Ford know that Nakano wants to buy an Escape Hybrid? Even after the letter, the lawmaker, who has been driving a Chevy SUV - not a Toyota or a Honda - wants one of Ford's clean SUVs, according to Nakano spokesman David Fein. "
