#1 I drive by that sign every day. Bollag needs to get a life - his name doesn't even look Chinese so does he have standing to complain?

#2 "That’s a term that I feel generally -- and say what you want about political correctness -- has not been acceptable in polite company for 30 years."
What a blithering idiot - are the terms Englishman & Frenchman also unacceptable 'in polite company'?

#5 are the terms Englishman & Frenchman also unacceptable 'in polite company'?

If by 'polite company', you mean idiots, then the proper terms are Englishperson and Frenchperson. Unless you are talking about an American woman. Then the term is Vagino-American.

#6 Well I find the joke offensive for a couple of reasons. First it isn't funny. Second it doesn't get better with age.

But at least he didn't use a word that rhymes with ink. Although its a good bet his dad used ethnic identifiers begining with "n", "s", "p", "k", "f", "l" and "m". Let's be honest, most of us had parents or relatives that did.
