Kim Ojawa:

Flat-faced, Vietnam cunt with her slanted eyes and bad English. Matty wants her to go back to her own country. North Vietnam. South Vietnam. Wherever the fuck she came from. He has no interest in foreigners. Not one. The country isn’t big enough to take on Asia’s population. People over there need birth control. They need to stop reproducing and creating ugly things like Kim Ojawa, the foreign exchange student in his Fourth Period geography class.

He wants to string the Gook up by her tiny feet and narrow ankles, draw a knife across her throat and let her bleed to death. Isn’t this what happened to Matty’s father’s older brother, Tank? Didn’t Tank do time in Vietnam during 1968 and 1969? Somewhere near Saigon? Exposed to Agent Orange? A grunt? Didn’t he become a POW? Didn’t he have his throat sliced open like a pig?Oink! Oink! Fucking oink!
