He should not have in order not to encourage stupidity.\nHowever, in a world of political correctness, you cannot joke anymore (humour\nis racist). He may have perhaps feared a legal action against him or a campaign\nof bad reputation. It is extremely sad that the Canadian stupidity has also reached\nQu\u00e9bec (usually more resistant).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To Ms. Sung, Bambi would like to say: Usually all what\nbusiness owners want is to invite clients in, not to scare them away. So why\ndid she take this personally? Bambi bets it is because she is Canadian (and not\nfrom Asia), likely a product or a symptom of our times where silly forms of social\njustice or intellectual puritanism are surgically removing our sense of humour\nand poisoning our brains. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some people want to see racism everywhere.
