I resemble this remark! On my mother's side is French-Dutch-Spanish-
Caribbean, my father's side is Sicilian-Spanish-Filipino-Chinese! 
Hence, I know which I speak, and my words were meant to be "tongue-in-
cheek" {pun is intended)---you obviously have no sense of humor and 
my commentary went over your head---mea culpa, escusare, and lo 
siento mucho!

Yes, that some people can't understand humor!

WHICH side offended you? I consider myself to be both "asian-geek" 
(my filipino-chinese roots) and "euro-trash" (my french-dutch-spanish-
sicilian roots) and the fact that my bloodline is a true "melting-
pot" of world culture.  I would like to believe that we can all laugh 
at ourselves---political correctness is getting way out of hand!  
Emiliano, mon frere, (my cousin has the same name), you gotta lighten 
up! PLEASE feel free to respond...
Sincerely,
Maximo
