[QUOTE]Originally posted by Grokca: [QB] Ok, Tom tried to explain this to you and I will try one more time in a way in which you might be able to relate it to your country. Abroad, people from your country are know as yankees. If this is said to someone from Buffalo, it is probably not a slur. If you said this to a person from say, Alabama they might consider it a slur. The point is that they did not mean to insult which I also believe Bush did not. But if he is to run a foreign affairs department then he should be aware of the terms, both derogatory and proper that foreigners should be refered to. It is no excuse that it is not a slur in your country, he should be aware of these things. Hence the hoofinmouth award. And lastly if it meant nothing them why did the Whitehouse sorta apologize for it? [/QB][/QUOTE]
