The postcards say, "The Chinese and Indians are taking over our town. Chinese school! Indian school! Cricket fields! Enough is enough."
Above those words are pictures of board of education candidates Jerry Shi and Falguni Patel. The bottom of their photos are partially covered by the words "deport" in what's presumably an image of a passport stamp.
The ads don't identify the group that paid for them, which violates state election law.
The back of the postcard reads:
"Stop the overcrowding! Stop taking over our sports fields! Stop the McMansions! Stop the multiple families living in the same house! Stop wasting school holiday! Stop the outsiders!
"Let's take back Edison and our schools!
In response to the mailer sitting mayor, Thomas Lankey, issued a statement calling the campaign flyer "despicable."
"Edison has proudly embraced our ethnic, cultural and religious diversity," he said.
"It has become a sad reality that in our polarized political atmosphere, some people suddenly feel empowered to publicly express these vile nativist ideas. Make no mistake, we will do everything we can to expose the shameful people behind this."
