Ugh... scary driving through Pangasinan recently, so much construction without proper markers, som many poor roads... good thing you're okay...
Errh... what's racist about Chinese and red? Red is good luck for them... ???
It might be considered racist if we're talking about Chinese people as "Reds" (Communists), but CK was merely alluding the fact that many Chinese prefer red, and he included the rejoinder that there was nothing wrong with being Chinese, just that he didn't like red.
Better learn to be clearer, CK, some people get a bit touchy about things here.
In fact, I find it surprising that non-Japanese are offended by the use of the word "jap"... thought only my Mom (American-Japanese) noticed small things like that. While "Jap" is often used, unknowingly, as an abbreviation, in the US in the 40's and 50's, it was used in a derogatory manner, much like "nigger" during those times. Nowadays, it has very little emotional weight for non-American Japanese, but call an old Chinese guy (one old enough to remember the Pacific war) a "Jap" and he'll probably beat you to within an inch of your life...
