Do you find this to be inconsistent? My understanding of chinese culture
is songs, music, dance, culinary arts (mooncake included). You are
the one who seems to equating misbehaviour and culture. It appears that 
you may have a problem with worrking out simple logic. There is an ongoing
discussion about good universitys and people buying degrees. Where did you
buy yours (assuming you have one)?

You made in incorrect assumtion that net is Network
Equipment Technologies. Why do you want to get personal? There was
a threat on this newsgroup against Dwight. Why do you want to find me or
email me? Why don't you say whatever you want to say on the newsgroup?
Just because I pointed out to people the things I have seen, observed and 
thought about, you want to take away my right to belong to my own race? Are
you some sort of race policeman? Any way who gave you that right?

So you did a triple check. Perhaps we might refer to you as three Looi
in future (as opposed to one OOPS! I meant Wan)   :-)

This hurt is a creation of your own mind. I had not intended to insult 
chinese culture and I won't.

Nice try Looi. If I was non-chinese then the things I said would have come
out of geniune hurt suffered by me personally. It would be a double
condemnation of the chinese race. It would mean that the chinese are 
hippocrates when they have the nerve to ask Japan to applogize when the 
chinese themselves are mistreating other races.

So, who is the bonehead?
