An editor of a weekly newspaper calling itself the Voice of Asian America apologized after Asian American and city leaders condemned a column titled "Why I Hate Blacks."

In the piece, which appeared in Friday's edition of AsianWeek, contributor Kenneth Eng lists reasons he supports bias against blacks -- including because "they are the only race that has been enslaved for 300 years."

Ted Fang, AsianWeek's editor, called the decision to publish Eng's piece a "mistake" and said the 48,000-circulation newspaper "is sorry that this got published." He said the views in the column did not reflect the views of AsianWeek.
