Wow, as a 70 yr old Chinese-American born and raised in the US, the last time I heard something like this in real-life was from one of my grade-school classmates! The most disturbing thing is the University’s ready acceptance of Keon’s lame “apology”. especially since it just promoted its Chinese-born Dean of Engineering, Mung Chiang, to be University President-elect, starting Jan 2023. Curious to see if the Asian community at Purdue is able to do Dr. Mung a favor before he takes office by getting rid of Keon.

If he mocked African Americans like this he would be forced to resign the next day and there would be a national conversation. It just goes to show that Asian Americans continue to be treated like foreigners in this country despite doing everything asked of us.

What the ......... What a childish act. almost 5 years old.

I was a former PNW student in the Honors College. I interviewed Thomas Keon to learn more about his thoughts on the Honors College. He gave some thoughts, but they were not really measurable rather vague. Additionally, I also went to a Faculty Senate meeting to support a Math Ed Professor (I was a Math major who took a Math Ed class with her) who was in jeopardy of losing her job due to the Director of Education (Ann Gregory I believe) trying to prove that students should take college level algebra and statistics in order to prepare for the math state testing (since some students did not do well, let alone her points were not strong and very emotionally heated). Chancellor Keon got up and left before that debate commenced, and I was shocked. The Director and Assistant Director of Education are shitshows of people, and Keon did not want to sit and listen to either side. It was the Professors who sat and made a decision. I am a bit surprised to hear this, but considering he did not put enough effort and care to the two situations above along with this video, this makes me realize he is a lackluster and insincere kind of guy.

Some people are saying that the remarks were taken out of context, but if anything the "context" actually digs him into a digger hole: he was apparently likening Asian languages to the silly-sounding gibberish Jim Dedelow (and many other people) say to toddlers. And Keon's mocking words sound a lot like what I and other Asians endured from other kids growing up in the 90s. Difference is, Keon is not a kid, he's the head of a major university. And this 2022, not 1992.

Cultural respect is just a slogan, actions speaks louder than words. Too many times this type of internal attitude is displayed, and a public apology is enough to let people get away. If a porno bookmark is enough to get a college professor resign, the same treatment should be done to Mr.Keon who actively displayed inappropriate public behavior. Take your last paycheck and resign is the way to go, because I don't feel comfortable knowing there are college faculties that have poor self control and inappropriate attitude especially in educational setting.

Ahhh...good times. Kinda reminds me when Abercrombie and Beeyatch told me I wasn't Americana enough to work in their clothing store. Even though I had an 8-pack and 6%body fat. I guess it was because of my ching-chong Fuk-yu dialect? Thanx Chancellor Keon for translating that i'll never be American enough!

whata the point of apologizing for his comments if he's not gonna be forgiven??? what happened to "love" and "kindness"? 😂 cant cry abt that when you can't show those qualities yourself🤷‍♀️

Better to use funds to educate the entire admin to take anti racism training for at least 1 year!

I'm curious the people who laughed are they being punished?

Hate crime !!!

He could have at least taken the time to learn a real language. But that would be like working.

What in the world does "learning a real language" have to do with making a joke about the guest speaker's own joke about using a personal made-up language? Do you people stop and think for five seconds before you start typing?

Dear Purdue Northwest Representatives, I am would like to have a few minutes of your time and discuss what has circulated over the news the past few days. Purdue is renowned for their engineering and professional literacy documentation. All I can say is I would not like to study at PNW. I will not endorse my colleagues and friends to study at an institution where an individual with the power and authority of a chancellor is able to make remarks that make myself and tens of thousands of students feel like less of a person . How can a school with so much professional exposure to the art of language participate in comments that defy the pillars and foundation of this great academic institution? But what do I know; I'm just a lone student. Students are the future and they will choose to go where they want to learn and excel, preferably an institution where they see a future for themselves and peers; a place they want to learn. I can assure you that many PNW students do not believe in a future at PNW with the current leadership. Regards, A concerned student

You are not just a lone student. We need your help to get people at the school to speak up. They are hoping this will be forgotten after the holidays when people go on break.

He has some sort of deep-seated 'issue' that needs examining. He turned to his colleagues as to get their approval. He needs help in counseling or something as to why he acted as such. Maybe, he makes jokes, etc., about his students whether they are the same color as him or not. And, it finally came out of his mouth in public! Notice the smiles on the colleagues, they have seen this about him. They were not surprised at his remarks!!

People, this is what THEY do in private. THEY can only hide their true feelings for so long. Don’t trust THEM - ever!

If he makes such remarks in public imagine what he says in private.

No one should accuse the chancellor of not having common sense because he only spoke of exactly what thoughts manifested in his mindset. He displayed his comfort level in speaking publicly. His core being would not allow for anything less.

Can you imagine a Chinese headmaster imitating American school kids on LSD?😅😅😅

And a chancellor at what school? Just wow…

I bet it was quite "liberating" for this clown to "finally" be able, in front of his peers, to let out what had been pent up for years. Before his apology, I imagine, in his head, he was saying to himself: "Free at last!"

I am not Asian and it does not matter if I am or not, when I say that I find this mocking of Asian culture was disgraceful, disrespectful and unprovoked. He says in his apology "We are all human", but his pathetic display makes it seem like he thinks he has more rights to bully, insult and belittle other humans.He is a figurehead of a university, that some people dedicate their lives to getting into to study and then pursue their lives. He must be better than what we see here, not just from his words of apology, but in his ACTIONS

Feel so sorry for asian students sitting there at the ceremony for such joyous occasion after working so hard for so many years of their young lives but instead, have to sit there while the faculty head mock them in such manner is so so sad and deflating I'm sure. Not a single member of that faculties in the background had any decency to take a stand and speak out against the bad behavior of their chancellor. But worst, they laugh along with him.

As an Asian American; who cares. People are too sensitive these days.

In this day an age everybody is like a little child, and show low self esteem and they start crying I was insulted. Nobody can take a joke because everything a racism. Benny Hill did this as many comedians but now we have to confort and accommodated those that have low self esteem and to apologized for every word we mention. We have become so stupid and baby like, it is pathetic.
