	Reply #8 akka's post I don't care if anyone calls me a "gwei lo" and means to be derogatory.  But then, I make 10 times the average per capita income in HK.  And I have all sorts of support mechanisms that continually reinforce the message that I am a valuable and contributing member of society.  My self-esteem is not in danger.  I can always feel perfectly comfortable saying "f*ck you" and dismissing you, knowing that I will still do just fine... If I was a member of an economically deprived minority, the situation would be entirely different.  Every day, in innumerable small ways, I would internalise the message that I am not a valuable person (and much worse).  It's not surprising that such people might feel a little touchy about racial slurs.  I sure would, if I were in that position and had any energy left to register a complaint... Have fun, CGP
