Honestly, E. Jean Carroll should be made an honorary Asian American.
I’ll explain.
But first, at least for what she went through in her multiple trials against Donald Trump, Carroll is democracy’s hero.

Nikki Haley, the lone Asian American, and lone woman, left running for president on the Republican side, isn’t quitting the race yet, despite an 11 point loss in New Hampshire.
