Racial charge in council race

Two volunteers for an Asian-American Democratic candidate for City Council claim that about a dozen teens pelted them with racial slurs, a football — and fliers supporting his GOP rival.

The Kevin Kim aides, one male and one female, filed a police report saying they had been hanging posters at a deli near Cross Island Parkway and Francis Lewis Boulevard at about 3:30 p.m. last Wednesday.

The woman said the teens yelled, “Kevin Kim sucks!” and “Asian men out!” as they tossed fliers backing Dan Halloran for the 19th District seat.
