Thank you Connie Chung for representing Asians in America. Asians faced heavy discrimination in America since the first large number of Chinese came to work on the railroads in the 1800s. We did not bark loudly about being discriminated against. We worked hard to earn the trust and respect of Americans.

Thanks Connie. It was important for Asians especially to see you on tv in the 90s.

[sohanarahaman]

As Asian American as well it’s really interesting🇺🇸🇮🇹🇧🇩 especially where my parents are from even from Bangladesh and my sister from Italy and I am a an America

[bjbennett]

Did anyone notice Dan Rather didn't ask Connie for consent before touching her. It's infuriating!

[Donald-zh]

I wish we had a journalist like her now! Instead of all the woke liars!

Bobby Lee did a great Connie Chung impression on Mad TV.

If I can share an opinion that means nothing...
I always had great admiration for Connie and her body of work.
I always thought that Maury Povich, Connie's husband. His work was pure trash and is a stain on journalism.
I guess it's true that opposites attract.

Never understood why Americans have to keep referring to people of their heritage. In Australia and the UK you’re Australian or British, no matter what colour or creed. African American, we hear a lot of, why? Is it too hard to just be an American now?

[MrJacksuper]

Oh shut up about woman woman talk... just do the work!

Greed is one of those sins that once you have it you don't want to get rid of it. Ask Trump.
