Subject: Running for DA: Stephenson's Comments that Asians and Lesbians
are Hurting LPGA Tour
October 18, 2003 10:51 AM
Dear Bruce:
Below is a message which has been brought to my immediate attention.
Where would you stand on Stephenson's comments?
JACL Denounces Stephenson's Comments that Asians and Lesbians are
Hurting LPGA Tour
Lauds Other LPGA Stars for their Censure of her Comments
San Francisco - In an interview in the November issue of Golf Magazine
which hit the newsstands on Tuesday, Ladies Professional Golf
Association (LPGA) player Jan Stephenson cited Asians and lesbians as
problems with the tour. Well-known for her belief that the LPGA should
market its players using sex appeal, Stephenson indicated that Asian and
lesbian players were hurting the tour.
Responding to a question regarding problems in the LPGA, Stephenson
remarked, "This is probably going to get me in trouble, but the Asians
are killing our tour. Absolutely killing it. Their lack of emotion,
their refusal to speak English when they can speak English. They rarely
speak... Our tour is predominantly international and the majority of
them are Asian. They've taken over."
Reiterating her belief as to the importance of sex appeal to boost the
popularity of the tour, Stephenson further opined that lesbians in the
LPGA create marketing problems: "Society is more open now about gay
relationships, but it does hurt the tour. It hurts with sponsors. But if
you had two gorgeous girls who were gay, I don't think that would hurt."
After receiving much criticism in the press and from other players,
Stephenson issued a lengthy apology on Saturday, stating, "... By no
means did I intend to hurt anyone nor were the statements racially
motivated. I clearly understand how these comments could be taken as
racial comments, and for that I am truly sorry."
She further apologized, "I am sorry to the LPGA players that are hurt by
these comments, and I ask for your forgiveness.... To all Asian
Americans, the Asian community, the fans of the LPGA, and to anyone else
who has been offended by these statements, I am genuinely sorry to you
as well, and ask you to accept my apology. As an Australian residing in
another country I have experienced what it is like to be singled out,
and I was not sensitive to that feeling or yours."
The Japanese American Citizens League (JACL), the nation's oldest and
largest Asian Pacific American civil rights organization celebrating our
75th anniversary in 2004, denounces Jan Stephenson's comments as
insensitive, insulting and a dangerous promotion of stereotypes and
laments that her otherwise sincere apology failed to address her remarks
about the gay community. The JACL further commends other LPGA players
and commentators for their swift censure of Stephenson's comments.
Sports have always been the ultimate meritocracy where athletes compete
and excel based on skill and ability and not because of race, ethnicity
or looks. To suggest that the LPGA is harmed by good players playing
well is an insult to the integrity of the game," commented S. Floyd
Mori, JACL National President and avid golfer. "Ms. Stephenson is an
athlete who actively promotes her sport and a role model for younger
golfers, and as such, her comments are disrespectful, damaging and a
disservice to the golfing community."
"For a woman who believes that sex appeal is an effective mechanism for
promoting the LPGA, her remarks were very ugly," commented Lucy Kishiue,
JACL National Program Director and golf enthusiast. "It is unacceptable
and the worst kind of sportsmanship for her to promote such harmful
stereotypes. We appreciate the apology but believe that she still owes
one to the gay community."

I regret that my duties as District Attorney prevent me from authoring a 750 essay on my background and philosophy. I am a prosecutor first and a political candidate second and I haven't time to respond in the lengthy manner you suggest. I can tell you, however, in response to your specific question, that I have been a registered Republican for 24 years.
Regards,
Bruce
