杰里霍夫(Jerry Hough) 在评论题为《 种族主义注定巴尔的摩的命运》的《纽约时报》社论时似乎暗示亚裔不暴动是因“他们不抱怨自己的处境，而是加倍努力地工作。”
他好像将巴尔的摩暴动与“每个黑人都有象征不愿融合的新奇名字，每一个亚洲学生都有一个非常简单传统的美国名字。” 相比。
他还说：华裔赢得了马丁·路德·金（ＭＬＫ）雕像设计是很适当的，他帮助了他们克服了他们的困难。黑人跟随Malcolm X。
他在对ＡＢＣ和ＦＯＸ的电子回信中说：“马丁·路德·金是我的英雄”，他“强烈反对种族歧视。” 关键是“我的意见在很大程度上是准确的。没有人说我是错的，只说我是种族主义者。”
霍夫在纽约时报的评论全文 ：
This editorial is what is wrong. The Democrats are an alliance of Westchester and Harlem, of Montgomery County and intercity Baltimore. Westchester and Montgomery get a Citigroup asset stimulus policy that triples the market. The blacks get a decline in wages after inflation.
But the blacks get symbolic recognition in an utterly incompetent mayor who handled this so badly from beginning to end that her resignation would be demanded if she were white. The blacks get awful editorials like this that tell them to feel sorry for themselves.
In 1965 the Asians were discriminated against as least as badly as blacks. That was reflected in the word "colored." The racism against what even Eleanor Roosevelt called the yellow races was at least as bad.
So where are the editorials that say racism doomed the Asian-Americans. They didn't feel sorry for themselves, but worked doubly hard.
I am a professor at Duke University. Every Asian student has a very simple old American first name that symbolizes their desire for integration. Virtually every black has a strange new name that symbolizes their lack of desire for integration. The amount of Asian-white dating is enormous and so surely will be the intermarriage. Black-white dating is almost non-existent because of the ostracism by blacks of anyone who dates a white.
It was appropriate that a Chinese design won the competition for the Martin Luther King state. King helped them overcome. The blacks followed Malcolm X.
