But I know the office department will twist it to me complaining. What should I do besides give him an atomic wedgie, and call him a racist?Richard Chungnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26205275.post-1153677775054534412006-07-24T02:02:00.000+08:002006-07-24T02:02:00.000+08:00Hmm... my grandmother used to refer to one of the piano teachers at her conservatory a "Chinaman". They were friends, and she held him in nothing but the highest of regard. On the other hand I've seen some blog posts written by Chinese-Americans who hate the the word.<BR/><BR/>I guess, like many other things, "it depends".Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06100574985701058107noreply@blogger.com
