So … referring to hot Asian girls as your "Asian Persuasions" is a no-go, right? We learned that lesson, oh, we don't know, when we were four. Martin Bashir did not. While speaking at the Asian American Journalists Association — an organization composed of Asian people — the 20/20 host exclaimed that he was "happy to be in the midst of so many Asian babes" before, unprovoked, describing what makes a perfect speech: It should be "like a dress on a beautiful woman — long enough to cover the important parts and short enough to keep your interest — like my colleague Juju’s." This attempt at witty banter did not go over well. Some members in the audience booed. Brass at ABC News got wind of July 25 remarks, and David Westin probably demanded backtracking. Indeed, a spokesperson for the network said, "This kind of remark has no place in any setting, and Martin knows that." Indeed — Bashir himself apologized: "Upon reflection, it was a tasteless remark that I now bitterly regret," referring to his speech as a "moment of stupidity." Much like Bashir's interview with Michael Jackson.
