RE: Racist posting, was RE: [Thinkpad] Re: China Computer Maker Acquires IBM PC Biz, order parts now

Hello,

I've been standing just outside this thread long enough and now I'm really
angry. It started as your regular ethnic flame war, nothing fancy, it has
already passed through Asian, African-American, German Nazis and Jews and
it's coming to an end without even mentioning our LATINO minority, and that
really pisses me off! We Latinos deserve to be insulted, segregated and
discriminated against too! WE WANT EQUALITY!

Sorry Nonny and Elijah, just one from me! It's just that ethnic debates
really make me laugh, since your race is so inferior ;)

Juan

|Hmmm...And then your relatives in Israel sold radar warning planes and
|missiles to my relatives back in china, against the wishes of my other
|relatives in America lobbying the American government on behalf of Taiwan?
|Wow. This is getting good.
|
|Anyways. BMW good, nazism bad, wait-and-see on the C^HThinkpads, and a
|happy hannukah to all.
