[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tora Regina: [QB] [QUOTE]I think I'm going to relabel my hard drives. Instead of "slave" I will put a sticker "filthy Nigger-scum" there, and "master" will become "Arian"...[/QUOTE]Now who's overreacting? [QUOTE]Perhaps I should have asked what it said instead of Can you read this for me ... but wouldn't that be suggesting that she's an idiot because I have to make sure I say things 'just-so' to ensure she understands my TRUE meaning?![/QUOTE]Think of it this way. When you see a phrase written in German, would you ask a random white person what it says? Yes, she did overreact by insinuating you're a racist, though I think she was reacting to racial ignorance rather than racism. People do quite commonly assume Asian people are all Chinese, though as a Chinese person myself I don't really have a reason to complain. Besides, I think if people assume something about me from my appearance it is more effective to politely point out their mistake rather than call them racist. [/QB][/QUOTE]
