I know that my best friend who is Korean has lived his whole life (yesterday and today) being attacked and hurt with that word. If you don't think it should hurt Koreans then why don't you call your wife that name and see if she's not hurt by it.
I see by your profile that you are unapologetic so I won't waste my time trying to make you understand that what you said would be grounds on any site to be banned. Yet here you remain and it supports the Dummies claim that this is a racist website.
Perhaps if you would have called Bush a similar name then maybe you wouldn't be allowed here yet you only degraded a whole Asian community so I guess that is O.K. on FreeRepublic now-a-days.
So has most Asians - if you grow up in the US in just about any junior high/high school as an Asian, then you have been called "g00k, ch!nk, etc. etc". Apparently FR these days are like junior high and consists of junior high logic.
And this China is our enemy thing has nothing to do with this original post. The post is about some 13th/14th century paintings depicting what looks like golf. There are also paintings from the past of a soccer like sport (and has been well documented, and that sport was mostly played by WOMEN in the emperor's court, by the way). Has nothing to do with inventnig MODERN soccer and golf games, just that in China at the time there was a sport similar to the rules of golf. But boy, that is enough to get these people off.
I guess they're the ones with the inferiority complex, if they get all riled up by a couple of 13th century paintings.
