I love the way some were politely pushing others. If OUR government got down to fisticuffs, there would be far more than just some wrinkled lapels. Makes me think of Apu from The Simpsons. "My polite indignation knows no bounds!" This was hilarious. I love the way some were politely pushing others.

I'm mainly being facetious about the racist thing. I didnt say the PEOPLE were Pokemon animals - Pokemon are from Asia and fight each other and that's moreso why I thought of them immediately...I compare lots of people of all races and sizes to cartoon characters. But South Koreans are just plain smaller than average...when I was in Asia I was always "big" (which is really not the best thing to be when it comes down to it). Hey macon d!

Is that racist?)</i> I don't know if it's racist, but it seems pretty condescending to me. "little"? Comparing them to children's cartoon characters? "Pokemon"? Why, just cuz they're Asians? for some reason little Asian government officials getting their tussle on makes me giggle (and for some reason think of Pokemon, which I know is actually Japanese. Is that racist?)
