Toppro I think you went off the rail a tad there. I think if you re-read the explanation and note that it is a phrase used by a person to describe herself and in Major Kong's explanation - again a personal description by a person, there can be nothing to be upset about.
Perhaps you are overly sensitive to these type of remarks because you have suffered some discrimination yourself, however lashing out "in kind" never solved anything.
hey what up ya_know, hows it been?Quote:

In Vancouver we have alot of both Indians, so we say East Indian for people the are from India, and , First Nations,Natives or Aborigonal for people that have that background
Damn, Canada really sucks more and more everyday :rolleyes:

I am always perplexed about how the americans have to label everthing in a politically correct manner. In the UK it is very hard to tell between a Pakistani, a Bangladeshi or an Indian, if they are born here, they are British.... whats the problem?
Cause we like to have our hatreds broken down into workable groups :devil:
Then I guess we all have to type slower...so you can understand what we are trying to tell you... :pQuote:

I guess that's the only way americans know how to solve problems, by creating conflicts. That's the American way
Hey, it comes as naturally as changing the topic to bashing women, how breasts are God's greatest gift, or forms of poo.
