Democrat Mayor Ed Lee, the first Asian-American mayor died of a heart attack on December 12th at the age of 57 which shocked the community. Several Asian-Americans who attended the service were shocked by Chief of Protocol Charlotte Shultz described the mayor as having "squinty eyes" during the service. She said "He had a wonderful laugh with those twinkly, well just like the picture, squinty eyes and that wonderful smile" Charlotte was born in Texas and married to Republican George Shultz and was a colleague of Ed's. Julie Tang, a retired judge was disappointed by the words and said "It was a bit surprising, to say the least. That really struck me as someone who really felt that that was how Chinese people should be viewed. It's almost like an unconscious submission to the caricature of the way Chinese have been portrayed in the media in a negative way. I really think people should pay attention to the soft racism that is permeating through different levels of government. We have to be ore attentive to this especially in America. We have to be more attentive to this especially in America. We have a very sophisticated society, but it's also a very racial society. It's a society where people are very much judged by race and that separates us in more ways than one.". She also said that Charlotte even POINTED at her eyes when making the gesture Do you think these kinds of comments are Racist?

While inappropriate, she's old and didn't seem to mean anything by it. I wouldn't be too hard on her, and she certainly knows better now I would hope.

Doesnt sound like she meant anything malicious by it. It was poor wording, but I dont think she was mocking him.
