Did Liggett Just Say "Chinaman"?

On live tee vee?  He did.  He really did.  Jesus charlie christ, I can't wait to see the NBC apology for that one.  Look for Liggett to join Bob Beckel on the "I'm not racist" goodwill tour of Chinamenland, 2014.

  1. The idea that the word "Chinaman" is offensive seems to be largely American. LIggett is from the UK and I don't think the term has the same connotations there as it does in the US.
