Seriously.

And if I weren't laughing right now at the mind-numbing hypocrisy contained in this statement:

personally, I think that it's rather silly. Even the Spaniards didn't understand the chinese eyes was offensive, it was just humor to them.

I have a right to NOT be offended by such things, just as someone has a right to be offended by something that wasn't directed at them. If they are so offended, there's something more to why they are so offending and that's their baggage that they came into the room with them not the offending people handing it out.
Reacting to people behaving ignorantly is not 'baggage.' Since when has it been unfashionable to point out when people are behaving like jackasses?
