Oh, I see, you're telling us that in Malaysia, it's okay to call people 
"Jap" and "Chink". You think no one knows Malaysia?  I'm sorry, but 
these terms are offensive in the entire English-speaking world, and 
have no place on this forum.

"Bemused?...we're just not so careful?" Your's is a most disingenuous 
apology and remains offensive.
