If this has offended you I apologise, but you have misinterpreted my
comments.
The reference to foreign (context : sarcasm) was used with regard to
geographical location and the predominant native language of any such
location. I made no reference to race and I don't feel that race has any
bearing in the context of my comments. I resent the inference that my
comments were racist.
I regret that these issues have lead to offence, as it wasn't intended, and
the JSP forum is an inappropriate place to continue this discourse. I shall
not post any further comments on this thread, but you can email me directly
if you wish.
I would suggest, for your own reference, that you examine the archives and
follow this conversation in the context that it was meant to be
interpreted.
