Digital BW, The Print

I am not of Japanese descent and I find it very offensive. If you can't
see how it is offensive, I feel sorry for you. Being courteous and
sensitive to other people's feeling is important and making racist
comments is something to ruffle your feathers about.

I would suggest you climb off your horse and broaden your mind.
