Runner,

Never said that Italian Americans were never treated badly.

Also never said that I hadn't heard the term "greasy" used in that context.

However, to extrapolate that any use of the term "greasy" is racist, sounds pretty stupid. Especially since the person in question (TokyoMex) is a sleazball of Korean extraction. Never heard anybody use "greasy" as a racist term for his ethnic group.

If Bill wanted to be a racist, he could have used many other, more pointed words.
