Re “Letters to the Editor, specifically the letter from Rabbi Baron,” June 4 issue

Printing this racist screed and canard regarding the Chinese serves only to encourage more deranged people. The rabbi’s ramblings serve no good purpose and printing them only encourages more idiocy.

The New York Times retracted a letter containing similar rubbish – it would be good if your paper would be as reasonable.
