Especially coming from a military lawyer

A Congressman with some more relevant experience of racial prejudice is unhappy with Senator Lindsey Graham's "sake and sushi" jab:

Honda, a Japanese-American who spent 14 months as a child in a World War II internment camp, issued a statement Tuesday, saying he was "disheartened" at Graham's language. 
“I am disheartened that Senator Graham chose to use racially tinged rhetoric to express his opposition to health care reform," he said in a statement. "There is a way to engage in healthy debate without alienating Asian Americans, who are an important part of this democracy and healthcare reform."
