Kenneth Eng: remember him? "Why I Hate Blacks" and the weird dragon fetish? Well, after he got fired from his columnist gig at San Francisco's Asianweek, we've gotten quite a bit of news updates about him -- his YouTube clips, his weird statements after the Virginia Tech tragedy, and, most intriguingly, a copy of the book proposal he was shopping around -- but we decided as an editorial matter we weren't going to run anything else about the guy because he didn't deserve the attention.
