Asian American Journalists Association to Norman Mailer: No ears and tails for you!
The Asian American Journalists Association have sent an angry letter to Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone “calling out Norman Mailer as a racist” but more importantly calling him out for dissing on “the accomplishments of all women and journalists of color” by calling Michiko Kakutani a “two-fer”: the “token” “Asiatic, feminist” at the Times. To paraphrase: Yo, Norm, she’s from fucking Connecticut, and you, America’s Greatest Living Novelist, are a bigot. For shame.
