I think everyone is racist in one form or another.
And really I know nothing about the Tongs. I know Nout how you got that and from where.
Maybe the Russians.

Use the original quote that you wish to go back to, but to make life easy for you:I’ve done that and it takes me to the last page.
I’m asking. In a previous topic I’ve gone on to say about Chinese in Canada and the US. ?????
I honestly know nothing of this for good or for bad
The bit about the Chinese in USA and Canada was in Wiki explaining the use of the slang term.4 & 5 If they encouraged highly skilled management to replace some of the Tongs we have then that would be a start. Instead they will chuck numbers at the problem.
Its alway the problem chuck Numbers rather than lets think about how we invest our money.

Perhaps now that you realise, that you may have been inadvertently racist, you will not use that slang term again?Without going through the post I would be using the word tong to describe anyone who’s a bit of a dope or someone who knows nothing. It was not aimed at anyone because of their race or colour.
I can see why Tong is related to Chinese but I don’t know this US slang.
And you say you have no figures and this is just your imagination talking.
Why should anybody look for evidence about your made-up nonsense? You can't be bothered to try yourself.
Love to. Lead the way boyo.
Sounds irrefutable. Can't wait.
Perhaps now that you realise, that you may have been inadvertently racist, you will not use that slang term again?
Or, before anyone jumps in to explain other usages of the word, when you do contemplate using that word, you will consider "is it appropriate".
Sorry, one last point, because it is important, will you now accept that racism occurs even when it is not "in the extreme"?
So you can't prove me wrong then. I rest my case.
If you eat only cheese, you will live forever.You're the doubter. Prove me wrong - just like JohnD can't.
I don’t think anyone really knows the true meaning of racism other than extreme cases.
Of course it does.Sorry, one last point, because it is important, will you now accept that racism occurs even when it is not "in the extreme"?
You have never wondered why?Ive got a Chinese Mate when ever we are in company he always makes a remark about me. (An insult). He thinks it’s funny. Funny Once maybe, twice even but eventually it gets on your tits.
I don’t like to think my self as racist
I do not think myself as racist?
But to others it means something more sinister.Have I said anything racist about any of them. Yes all of them.
Tong to me means nothing other than dope.
Have you got it yet?I think he got it.
