傑裏霍夫(Jerry Hough) 在評論題為《 種族主義注定巴爾的摩的命運》的《紐約時報》社論時似乎暗示亞裔不暴動是因“他們不抱怨自己的處境，而是加倍努力地工作。”

他好像將巴爾的摩暴動與“每個黑人都有象征不願融合的新奇名字，每一個亞洲學生都有一個非常簡單傳統的美國名字。” 相比。

他還說：華裔贏得了馬丁·路德·金（ＭＬＫ）雕像設計是很適當的，他幫助了他們克服了他們的困難。黑人跟隨Malcolm X。

他在對ＡＢＣ和ＦＯＸ的電子回信中說：“馬丁·路德·金是我的英雄”，他“強烈反對種族歧視。” 關鍵是“我的意見在很大程度上是準確的。沒有人說我是錯的，隻說我是種族主義者。”

霍夫在紐約時報的評論全文 ：
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.
