Kaplan’s remarks not racist

From the stories coming out about a University of Wisconsin law professor, it seems that UW-Madison has its very own tenured Michael Richards. Unlike Richards, however, UW law professor Leonard Kaplanâ??s remarks targeted Wisconsinâ??s Hmong minority. Also unlike Richards, Kaplanâ??s remarks, however insensitive they may seem in the lack of context in which we are seeing them, were not racist.
