Ah ha, and finally the devil speaks.  You know Jim, I've been just waiting
for you to address this.  In your "discussions" with your good pal JJ, I
remember very distinctly that you and he both had agreed to vocalize your
displeasures with people who spewed racist remarks.  I was eagerly waiting
to see you make good on that "promise" since perhaps your "new" outlook gave
me some hope that perhaps you're getting a little maturer in your articles.  
Looks like I'll have to wait and see if this "new" Jim Pak is for real or not.
But I won't hold my breath.  I like to continue living.

Ya know, that would be rather nice ... Not.  The reason why I have brought
this up is not because I have a personal vendetta against Judy (she's not
worth the effort) but because she and her posts are excellent illustrations
of what I am against.  Her views are very much the antithesis of mine and so
I use it.  If there were more "fodder" elsewhere, you can be sure that I will
not hesitate to employ it.  But the case happens that nothing better has
come up to use as a foil.  In any event, she's going through what every new
USENET poster goes through.  I went through the same things...kinda like an
initiation of sorts.

This is so laughable.  Learn to read huh.  Or better yet, learn reading 
*comprehension*?  JJ, you know about CYA'ing? :-)  hehe...Naturally, 
this looks like you got me here.  Only problem is that you took it out of 
context Jim.  But I'm not surprised.  I said that to your face several
months ago in May too.  Boy, didn't that get your dander up :-).  You 
haven't changed at all.  

Oh, btw, that article dealt with being a victim of *WHITE* discrimination 
and repression.  As for being a victim of Asian American discrimination?  
Well, you have a point here.  At points in my life, I've had more AsAms 
against me and wishing me harm than Whites.  And certainly I've never had 
to hear from a "White", "I'm chinkier than you" accompanied by the appropriate
facial expression.  I should be grateful for some small favors in life I
suppose.
