I don't see why that would make you blow a gasket and find that it was somehow racist. (but I don't trust the Chinese goverment or their motives.)
Secondly, you post as much distrust or dislike for religion or religious people as GP posts about the Chi-comms so going off on him would be pot calling the kettle black IMHO.
GPMike likes to get peoples dander up for fun and you took the bait. But on the flip side, you show as much predjudice against a group of people as he does to another.
I'd say just ignore his posts and don't claim to be pious and unbiased yourself. We all have SOME predjudices, but to claim its all other people and not have any yourself would be ridiculous.

1. i'm asian (which i am)
2. because of #1, i'm somehow less american than any other yanks here.
i've experienced enough racism in my life time to know when i'm being targeted because of my ancestry though i try to ignore them nowadays.
as for religion - you're right about my distrust of organized religion in general and a lot of it has to do with what has happened in the past decade, this is why i'm agnostic even though i grew up a mormon. BUT i don't question a catholic, mormon, hindu, or even a devil worshiper's allegiance & loyalty to our country.

i don't have a problem with his chi-comm comments, i do have a problem when someone takes a look at my username and my son's picture in my avatar and automatically assume:

But I think you've got a good head on your shoulders just by reading this post. Just dont let it get to you, you cant change him or anyone.
I think you're cooler than him anyways because he swings off BrawnGP's hangdown, to be honest

Oh look...its a Dr. Phil thread....waaaa waaaa waaaa.
What's hilarious is the racism charge against me. I guess people's intellectual capabilities are a lot lower than I give them credit for....where do I say I hate Chinese people? Please...find it.
A Chi-comm is a commie. Where do I spell out any bigotry against the Chinese? Bunch of morons....no wonder this country sinks lower and lower into the abyss....people cannot read.
And still no one can refute the facts I always present because you are locked inside a tight little box labeled "Sheeple."
"Stick to the facts ma'am. Just the facts."
I'd imagine if there was the internet during WWII I'd be tin-foiler for hating Nazis. Morons. Have a nice day
