My buddy who was born in Korea was adopted by a "white" family. His mom was actually born in Germany. He is a captain in the Marines and an all round "American." He was at a local grocery store and got carded for the beer he was getting...he's 30. The Mexican checker said "wow! It must be all that rice you eat." Not as an insult or a joke. Just a moron who was legitimately amazed. My friend was able to see it for what it was, just some ig'nent clock puncher.

This is the same store that the NAACP started looking into last week when a black woman complained about something, asked for a manager and the clerk said something about blacks loud enough for the manager and the customer to hear. sounds like they have a lot of idiots working there.

Why is he a moron? Well, the only reason I can see is that he didn't really think anyone would be silly enough to take it as any kind of an insult. When are we going to be able to laugh again in this country? There was time we could joke with each other about our differences and no one was hurt - it was just fun.

I heard one Asian woman on TV complaining because someone said she looked like a china doll. Well, she did - she was exquisitely beautiful - although extremely stupd.
