ROBERT SIEGEL, host: Now, some of your comments about yesterday's program.</s>ROBERT SIEGEL, host: We start with an e-mail from Jason Carlson(ph) of Evanston, Illinois, who writes: In your story regarding Obama's attempts to register voters in Pennsylvania, a man said that he would not vote for Barack Obama due to his connection to Jeremiah Wright and Wright's anti-gay comments.</s>ROBERT SIEGEL, host: Well, Mr. Carlson points out to us, there are no such anti-gay comments. And he continues: Reverend Wright has supported the ordination of gay clergy, started one of the first AIDS ministries on the south side of Chicago, and even started a singles group for gay and lesbian members of his Trinity Church.</s>ROBERT SIEGEL, host: For our series, In Character, we profile Long Duk Dong from the 1984 comedy, "Sixteen Candles."</s>ROBERT SIEGEL, host: Greg Lim(ph) of Austin, Texas, writes that as an Asian American, he hated the character. I melted with dismay then seized with rage over the incessantly cackling, ridiculously clad, socially retarded, romantically inept, can't-hold-his-liquor Asian buffoon, calling himself - of all things - the Donger in an accent so over-the-top, it might as well have been created by a focus group comprising all the bullies I had ever known.</s>ROBERT SIEGEL, host: But Catherine Snyder(ph) writes from Charlotte, North Carolina. Give me a break, every character in "Sixteen Candles" was a stereotype. The Donger knew how to have fun and wasn't at all self-conscious, unlike many high school kids.</s>ROBERT SIEGEL, host: Send us your comments by going to npr.org/contact.</s>ROBERT SIEGEL, host: This is NPR, National Public Radio.
