Thread Name: Do Brits remember George Formby?
Subject: RE: Do Brits remember George Formby?
Sean ~~ The Chinese were positively PROUD of their laundry-related status. A song about one who comically fell short of their ideal thru falling in love was in the nature of a COMPLIMENT to their usual expertise in the field which they would have appreciated. There was no "levity", in the pejorative sense in which you use the term [& you have shifted your ground here ~ it was me, not George, whom you seemed to accuse of levity before, but now it seems to be him]; no 'ethnic stereotyping' of a sort that the demographic itself could, or would, possibly object to. So what's your great problem? Live with it, for heavens sake...
