Oh, get over it. It's not like he said "nigger".

"Welcome to America" is the part ppl should have been offended by.

It's pretty clear he meant it in the sense of "you look like an immigrant" rather than "here's how a real patriot stands on the issues".

Agreed, "Welcome to America" was more offensive. Macaca isn't "nigger," but it's pretty clear that it was a slur. And the Allen campaign's backtracking from the comment (trying to say "Mohawk?" Sure.) was in itself offensive. Do you think Allen would have called a white guy with a camera "Macaca?"
