    Language changes with time...... there is nothing wrong with it.

    I am old enough to remember when people were upset the word "Oriental" was no longer to use when referring to a person of Asian heritage.

    You will adjust......

    Xbox is a clear case of cultural appropriation

    the master-slave scheme is commonly used in MPI programming. Now I am thinking I might have to go back to modify my codes.

    Unless you are Steve Kerr, which apparently can call Yao Ming a “Chinaman” and nothing happens in large part because he is a liberal and Asian slurs are way down the list for outrage.

    I'm sure tinman is just looking out for the bdsm community on the sly.

    His wife is Oriental, so that makes it A-OK.

    Maybe he can get Vince Carter to loan his kids the trademark for "Half Chinaman, Half Pompous Prick".
