Yeah .. as a Chinese-"American" I would hope you would understand the
importance of being able to express yourself freely in whatever form you
chose. If it was something personal, that's a *little* bit different, but
since it wasn't, I suggest just ignore it and go on. I just hope you aren't
a Chinese-American AND living in the south .. you would be hurting for sure
then. ;)

| I'll have to disagree with you here, and I might get burned for this

|
| If you are happy with who you are and have pride in your family's
heritage,

something
