Damn! I hate showing up late for a party! Sir Pikealot told me about some racist comments being thrown around so I had to read it. Just finished reading it and got a good chuckle out of it. Shouldn't have read it while on the toilet, I think my hemorrhoids are back. lol! This thread is so far derailed, I don't think it'll ever get back on track. Oh well it's entertaining nevertheless!

I just want to add my 2 cents to the first derailment though...I'm Vietnamese/Chinese and prefer to be called Asian not Oriental (although I've been mistakened for being Mexican on a number of occasions which is okay because I think Mexicans are cool). Oriental makes me think of geishas and china dolls for some reason. If you're not sure about the politically correct term to describe an ethnic group, watch the news. They use asians and caucasians. I've never heard the news or the police refer to an asian as oriental. Also, I've never heard of a white person being offended by being called a caucasian.

I usually pipe up when I hear or read racist sh!t but have been busy lately so thanks boot for stepping up! (no pun intended)

Okay, you can go back to discussing minnows...
