You probably stumbled upon this hit when you googled the terms:

http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=4091

The fear that we had in the late 80's and early 90's with Japan we today have with China. We always need a boogeyman. The boogeymen of choice today are Asians and Muslims. It's sad. And very often leads to bias and prejudice. You should educate yourself more, but I won't hold my breath.
Thanks for helping me make my point. Your article, written in 1992? is the second most relevant writing on this topic, between this Kzone thread and Urban Dictionary. This seems to be a REAL hot-button issue in the world.

You're simple minded.

How about Chink, Gook, Zero, Jap, Slant Eyed, Yellow, ChiCom, Zip invasion? That's racist.

Watch out skiersleft, there's a Euro invasion coming! A South American invasion coming! An African invasion....A Greenland and then an Antarctic invasion coming.

And maybe some Eskimos, wherever they are from.

Spend your online time more wisely.

Oriental Invasion, out.



And by the above post, I am only trying to make a point and it does not reflect my personal views. I dig Asian broads.
This is laughable coming from someone who is clearly a bigot, at least with regard to homosexuals.
I am the furthest thing from a bigot. I may stereotype in the cause of humor, butt I accept all creeds, colors ,denominations and orientations....and whatever else people may bigot against.

You, on the other hand, are a Chincken Little. OMG! "Asian Invasion is Racist! The sky is falling." Take a poll of the Asians you ski with and get back to us with their thoughts. And I want a Marist or Quinnipiac poll with a plus or minus of three percent backing up your facts.

Suck it, Idiot.
No, Humpty, you're a bigot. Actions speak louder than words. You can say all you want now, but you're track record is there for all to look up. It's not the first time you have been called out for being a bigot. Others have protested about how what you call "humor" often reveals prejudice against gays.
Again, read my post you quoted.

My assumption is that you are a mucho liberal democrat that is easily offended. It's ok. I accept your type as well.
Have you ever owned a Subaru??? You fit the profile.

And where are my damn poll results!

I asked an Asian about this an hour ago and was told it could be considered offensive.

I see there is an option to report the shop to etsy.com . Maybe Weathergod can pretend to be a prosecutor type from Law and Order instead of an academic wannabe and turn them in for being "Potentially Racist".

I'm sorry Dedo, but how do we know they are Mexican? While they are of Latino origin and probably from South America, I don't quite know the difference. Must say, having Latinos making and serving my Italian food and Pizza just doesn't seem right in CT.
