Subject: RE: BS: Michael Moore on Question Time
Peg - No offence meant on my part. What you had to say was correct. Whether it is politically correct or just correct is a moot point.

The woman in question should have been given more respect. My reply was to try to clarify why referring to her (or anyone else) as Asian or Oriental is racist. In the context of the program, it also seems to be sexist; ie: she doesn't matter except to identify her as a woman of colour.
