WASHINGTON – It seems that Jeremy Lin, the lanky, athletic basketball star for the New York Knicks, has been everywhere of late. But now “Linsanity” has reached as high as the race for the White House. Today, Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney decried the loss of American jobs to “Chinamen” and vowed to get America “working for rich Americans rather than for rich Chinese.” To that end, Romney insisted that the basketball star should be forcibly sent “back to his home country of China.”
Romney said that Lin, despite being born and raised in America, should be deported immediately. “People like Lin have different eyes than Americans, and they cannot be trusted,” said Romney. “First they steal our jobs, then they put lead in the paint of toys, and now they’re trying to steal basketball teams,” added Romney to thunderous applause.
“I don’t know why Mr. Romney cannot understand that I’m an American citizen,” said Lin in a prepared statement, adding that he’s “never been to China and am not trying to take over American basketball teams.” Romney said that the statement was just another attempt by “Chinamen” to lull Americans to sleep on this issue.
“Lin needs to go – voluntarily or involuntarily – so that American basketball players can play the American game of basketball on American soil and produce profits for American companies,” said Romney on the campaign trail. He added that, if he wanted, Lin could work in one of Romney’s Chinese sweatshops “any time.”
