Three points -
1. Rosie is a comedienne. Comediennes make fun of people. Sometimes they cross the line. This time she did. If you see the original clip, Rosie wasn't calling anyone names. She was doing a dreadful attempt at imitating the sound of the Chinese language. Not that different from the Swedish chef's "mock Swedish" on the old Muppet Show.
2. Rosie apologized.
O'Donnell 'sorry' for China jibes
3. Michelle Malkin is a rightwing lunatic and not one to be criticizing anyone for ethnic insensitivity. She wrote a
book defending the internment of Japanese-Americans during WWII. Her book is full of so many inaccuracies and outright lies that it was the subject of an open letter by the
Historians' Committee for Fairness:

Malkin is not a historian, and she states that she relied almost exclusively on research conducted or collected by others. Her book, which purports to defend the wartime treatment of Japanese Americans, did not go through peer review before publication. This work presents a version of history that is contradicted by several decades of scholarly research, including works by the official historian of the United States Army and an official U.S. government commission. In fact, the author's presentation of events is so distorted and historically inaccurate that, when challenged by reputable historians, she has herself conceded that her main thesis in incorrect, namely that the MAGIC intercepts of prewar Japanese diplomatic cable traffic, explain and justify the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans. As Malkin states, her critics have noted that "once the decision was made to evacuate ethnic Japanese from the West Coast, many ancillary decisions were made--and MAGIC doesn't explain all or even most of them. True...."

She is an admirer of Ann Coulter and a defender of Joshua Belile, the Marine who wrote and performed
Hadji Girl, a song glorifying the killing of Iraqi civilians.
So for Malkin to be criticizing Rosie is the cheapest form of hypocrisy and dishonesty or the exactly the sort of crap one can expect from Michelle Malkin.
