S: it is you not I who resorted to calling a recorder, made in Japan, an "Engrish frute," and told us you have friends who make "racist jokes" at the pub. Among my Messages (above, times 3) and all else I've published, you will NOT find suchlike.

And clearly the problem with such "light-hearted stereotyping" (TL) is that there are those, like S., who lack formal education but are ultra-competitive and hate someone disagreeing with their world view; i.e., given an inch, he will take a mile.
