When they rant on in xenophobic jingoistic ignorant hysteria about Japanese

A billion people demonize the Japanese.

A billion of us demonize the Chinese.

A billion Muslims demonize us.

Africans are killing each other.

Can billions of people hating billions of people be wrong?

How did we get here?

Oscar Hammerstein said "we had to be carefully taught".

So we have to ask ourselves, what did we do today to teach others to hate?

If we are not diligent about this hate business, it can all go away.

All the teachings will go to waste.

hello maurice, i buy plenty of goodies from everywhere and do not remember ever considering where they are made

and i take in plenty of ideas from all

doing otherwise would seem moronic to me

i am as curious as anyone to know why anyone would boycott anything and how they will go about doing so

as to <<When people say they are coming to get you, and they denigrate you, and are planning on doing you down, you had better believe them>> ...

... i am terrified

... sorry, do not react to threats, never made any, see no use in them, and think even less of venom, because they are unbecoming, of small people, mostly ignorant

... as to japanese, compensations, apologies, etc, and whatever, who cares, as i stated before and often, because the issue is not about apologies, but about government mandated textbooks

... as to master race and racism, you are talking to the wrong person, as i am not the one spewing venom and 'making bad jokes', CB was

... as to everything else you said, i have no particular difficulties with it, and so perhaps you were writing to others

chugs, j

One very interesting thing I've noticed lately is how many mainland Chinese are now living in the US. Voting with their feet. The government has liberalized travel quite a bit, apparently. One hand not knowing what the other is doing, maybe.

Also, I've noticed that if you ask a Taiwanese person if they are Chinese, they say, "no, Taiwanese."

Hopefully the racist xenophobic hate-mongers will remain in China or go back to China.
