Martin Luther King apparently hated the Chinese? Racism?

So, they're building a MLK memorial between the Washington and Jefferson Memorials. A Chinese sculptor was hired/commissioned for the job.
Great! They're finally honoring a great man alongside other men that made this country great.
But no. That's not good enough for some people.
There is a group of people protesting, saying that King would not approve of the communist background of the artist...and a black, or at least an American should have been chosen to do the sculpture.
?!
That strikes me as a little ironic.
Does it not seem as though they're using racism, themselves...defeating the nature of this memorial?
I think that if they are the King enthusiasts that they claim, they should know the famous "I have a dream speech." I'm pretty sure King wasn't just referring to black people: he wanted people of all colors to be able to accept each other. The fact that a Chinese man is making the sculpture is greatly symbolic of how we are finally coming together and embracing each other as equals.
Something to think about:
Just because the Statue of Liberty was made by a Frenchman, does it make it any less of a National symbol? Something we associate with being American? The very thing that most of our relatives/ancestors saw as they entered a new life?
I think not.
