Similarly Tims remark about dousing the Santa Cruz homeless population with gasoline and setting them afire, was in a similar vein. Where is everyone's sense of humor ! I guess you have to have read the post you're referring to, but I find it hard to imagine any context around those words that has any humor to it.

Saturn, <Marys remark about Asians, was a tongue in the cheek remark, and was not her opinion.> Neither was my remark about it being racist. But as John Fowler pointed out, political correctness cuts both ways. According to some of my more liberal Asian friends, being referred to as the "model minority" is racist. The black comedian Chris Rock put it best when he said, "Man, black people would love to have that kind of stereotype! 'Oh, look at Tyrone over there! He looks smart! I wish I could sit behind him!'" <Where is everyone's sense of humor ! > Was Mary's attempt to wave the flag supposed to be taken lightly as well? Tenchusatsu
