Macaca won't go away for George Felix Allen. He lost a leadership award, which has revived a discussion about his ugly slur last month:
A senator who had singled out an Indian man at a campaign event and referred to him as "Macaca" declined a leadership award from a minority scholarship fund Thursday after donors protested his selection.A confederate flag devotee who uses racial slurs probably wasn't the best choice for a leadership award from an organization named for Thurgood Marshall.
Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund donors had threatened to withhold contributions if Sen. George Allen, a Republican seeking re-election this fall, received the fund's Community Leadership Award.
