It’s macaca’s two-year anniversary.
On Aug. 11 of 2006, former Gov. George Allen was stumping in Southwest Virginia when he referred to his Democratic opponent’s campaign volunteer of Asian Indian descent as “macaca.“
Some Virginia Democrats are using the anniversary to promote their schedule, with pro-Sen. Barack Obama actor Kal Penn attending a house party in Arlington with Asian Americans.
An Obama supporter who is hosting the party made the connection—the Obama campaign has not.
Today, Penn will meet with volunteers and participate in phone banks at Campaign for Change offices in Northern Virginia, as well as host an Asian Americans For Obama and South Asians For Obama event this evening.
Tomorrow, Penn is slated to visit the Fredericksburg office and canvass in Richmond with the Young Democrats.
Penn appears in the FOX medical drama “House,“ and he has had a recurring role in “24.“ Penn’s breakout role came in “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.“ Penn previously visited Virginia to headline a Students for Barack Obama college tour.
