Mundelein candidate's comment about Asian people blasted as 'racist'
A Mundelein village board candidate's claim that Asian people are smarter than others was criticized as racist and inappropriate during an online forum Thursday.
Sharma is joined in the race for three board seats by incumbent trustees Kara Lambert, Kerston Russell and Erich Schwenk, and former board member Robin Meier. As part of his response, Sharma -- a retiree who unsuccessfully ran for a seat on the local park district board in 2019 -- complained about the lack of Asian Americans on the village board, and claimed few are on the village payroll.
