Joseph Cao, the Vietnamese-American Republican Congressman who represents New Orleans, told BP America President Lamar McKay that while "Mr. Stearns asked Mr. McKay to resign, in the Asian culture we do things differently. During the Samurai days, we just give you a knife and ask you to commit harakiri."

Never mind that Cao is Vietnamese and Samurai are obviously Japanese, and never mind that there is no way to define "the Asian culture."  This was a bad-ass move by the Congressman.
