University of Wisconsin Law School Dean Ken Davis issued a public apology Thursday after UW-Madison law professor Leonard Kaplan was accused of making racist comments against Hmong people in one of his classes Feb. 15.
Law student Kashia Moua circulated an e-mail to organize a meeting of Hmong law students and UW-Madison administrators Wednesday nightâ??the e-mail contained Kaplanâ??s alleged comments.
According to Moua’s e-mail, obtained by the Capital Times, Moua quoted Kaplan saying, â??Hmong men have no talent other than to kill,â? â??All second-generation Hmong end up in gangs and other criminal activity,â? and â??All men purchase their wives, so if he wants to have sex with his wife and she doesnâ??t consent, you and I call it rape, but the Hmong guy is thinking, â??Man, I paid too much for her!â??â?
