Half of my family is Chinese.

But then there are the other 1.3 billion.

Catchy tune, work on the lyrics. You have a future in children's music. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

<< RE your post #58

I read it and consider it extremely rascist while you do not

This is America, where I am entitled to my opinion as you are to yours .... >>

But I am not?

And, never mind that his "entitlement" permits that his "opinion" includes a good dollup the casual hater's most vile hate speech, projectile spewed upon his target of choice.

But, Pathological Projection Syndrome being what it is, what an inadvertent closeup he gave us all of the black hole of his soul!

<< There are hundreds of Chinese pilots in Singapore Airlines, Cathay-Pacific Airways, Malaysia Airlines, and all these airlines have excellent safety records >>

You forget what I do for a living and that I have been doing it in Asia for forty years, for twenty of them as an Asian resident.

Malaysian's safety record ranks it 19th among the world's airlines and it employs zero Chinese pilots.

Cathay ranks 33rd and has only faily recently begun to employ Chinese. Keep an eye on it for me will you?

Singapore/Silkair's world-airline safety ranking is 75th and it employs zero Chinese pilots. [Please do not confuse "Singaporean," "Taiwanese" and "Malaysian" with "Chinese," that would be both racist and insulting]

If it makes you happier, however, the aircraft involved in both of Singapore/Silkair's recent catastrophic crashes [Neither meets the definition of an "accident"] were "under the command" of people in pilot costumes who were of Chinese ethnicity
