This guy has been running for local office and losing every election cycle for years. His latest thing is that he is a victim the same way George Floyd was because DEI has made it hard to be a white man, I guess?

For the record, his “wife” literally left the country over a decade ago and I think his son has also moved to her country. The last picture he has with them is easily 15 years ago, so I don’t think they really give a shit if anyone votes for him. Oh, also, they’re Asian so he regularly refers to himself as a “person/father of color.”

      Oh god, that’s another whole thing. Basically, the mayor was like, “it’s super offensive for him to refer to himself as 'the George Floyd of [City Name] and I’m tired of pretending it’s not,” and he decided that meant that she saw him as a threat to her candidacy? So in his mind, that’s super alpha? Even if that whole alpha thing wasn’t pseudoscience trash, he’s the most beta person I’ve ever seen in my life.

      His last name. I’m not sure any of his family has ever actually been elected, but if they were, it was at least a century ago.
