Yes, Virginia, there are rednecks.

The Hollywood-driven Geisha orgy is upon us, so in retaliation to the masses, we'll probably be hearing a lot about Orientalism and Asian-directed racism in the next few weeks. I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and point your attention to this e-mail, allegedly sent to the Asian proprietors of an apple orchard in the Midwest. Here's a choice excerpt:

Yesterday, my family and I visited your orchard. I saw very early on when we pulled into your property that the asian influence is abundant. I can appreciate different cultures and lifestyles and philsophies, but apple picking to me is about as American as you can get. To have an asian worker yelling at people in the orchard in chinese or japanese is appalling. To see guard-like asian people strategically placed in the orchard reminds me of visions of Vietnam. I can appreciate rules and regulations and respect for the apple trees but when you have some asian person yelling at Americans in an asian language is just out right ridiculous and stupid.
