Opposing Strategist: Peru Presidential Frontrunner ‘Chinawoman’ Whose ‘Eyes Are Too Wrinkly’

A policy dispute in Peru’s presidential runoff election turned racially insensitive this week when the campaign advisor for candidate Pedro Pablo Kuczynski called opposing candidate Keiko Fujimori — a Japanese-Peruvian — a “chinawoman” and said her criticism of his policies was because “her eyes have gotten too wrinkly and she can’t read very well.”
