  2. This question and many of the answers are hilarious.  

  3. Asians are not in the political media like whites, and blacks are. Really, in my opinion all hurricanes should have a hispanic name, since they are the one's invading America and our politicians for the most part won't stop it.

    Gustav, what a name! That name has nothing to do with anything American, but in fact it's a European name. Perhaps the Weather Advisors are running out of American names that start with G? The name for this hurricane should have been named Geraldo...Rivera.

    In the end the name doesn't matter, if it hits, it hits, and God decides where it hits, and Louisiana should have known the consequences of living there. I lived there for years, and never ever evacuated, but that was just me. I lost a little, but rebuilt back what I had, and so is life. Just live it.

  4. Hurricanes, by definition, develop off our right coast. If the left coast were routinely pummeled by typhoons, I'm sure we'd have them named, and Asian names would be included.

  5. Americans hate asians, they get no help from affirmative action and are targets of lots of discrimination.

  6. oh get a grip lady

  7. PC is destroying the United States.

    We should have names from every culture, language, and religion ever devised so that everyone is happy. NOT!

  8. lol

    I'm sure someone will say that "we're just racist, fascist neocons".

    But, who knows why.  I'm all for Hurricane Ho

  9. Storms are named by the region.  

    Example:  Central North Pacific Names

    Akoni, Ema, Hana, Io, Keli, Lala, Moke, Nele, Oka, Peke, Uleki, Wila

  10. Hadn't you heard, Germany has broken off diplomatic negotiations with the US, recalled their ambassador, and will be leaving NATO for the naming of the hurricanes. Katrina was a first step, and now Gustav? Angela Merkel is outraged!

    On the other hand, we will never run out of "L" named hurricanes with all of the "La and Le's" out there.... LeBron, LaTisha. etc... true American names.  

  11. Because this is America, not the world.  And Hurricanes are more of a western hemisphere storm.  

  12. Right. And why only a handful of Asians on CNBC & no blacks?

  13. They save those for typhoons.

  14. because it's longer than 3 inches...

  15. Because most likely, those hurricanes hitting the U.S. have nothing to do with China.

    Chinese named hurricanes are probably found in Asian waters; and are probably not called Hurricane Bob.

  16. IDK! Lets lay up in the sack together and not worry about it.

  17. what does this have to do with politics?

  18. because hurricane "HARRY WONG"doesnt sound too good..

  19. In other news, Hurricane Krungthepmahanakorn Amornrattanakosin Mahintrayuthethaya Mahadilokpob Noparat Rajataniburirom Udomrajanivej Mahasatharn Amornpimarn Awatarnsatis Sakatadtiya Wisanukamprasit was seen heading for the coast of New Orleans today.

  20. Hurricane Totoyikamaki just sounds so wrong...

  21. I think the "let's have less American names for storms" boat has already sailed with the name Gustav.
