Yeah I thought I made it clear that I'm not denying the idea.. It's the terminology I don't like, which is all I've said.
We're not talking to Chinese people. We're talking to white or Western people. If you can point out a Chinese or Ugandan person in this discussion to me then we can have words and those words will be "Well we're really not talking to you, but we can figure out a phrase in a moment."
