I thought the days of reflexive schoolyard taunts about ethnic names were behind us. Apparently not. He is a good man whose name does not deserve mocking.

It’d not a taunt, for goodness sakes! We don’t need to be so woke.

It’s a simple play on words that mean one thing in one language, and another in our language. This happens all over the world for many different languages and no reasonable person gets offended by it.

Everyone is chill with this, including Secretary Cao.

It’s called humor.

Humor makes fun of everyone, it’s not racist or offensive unless someone sees everything as racist and offensive and we know who those types are.
