Intern Shaiming (of course he had to get it) received an email from a reader who was a bit upset by our last post. He said it was racist. He said Chinese people do more than scream and make food. (He did not mention anything about Chinese people doing more than making knockoffs of things, however, so we are not sure if that's a matter of pride or forgetfulness.)
Listen, we apologize. We would never want to upset any of our reader. Of course we know Chinese people are capable of more than yelling and cooking. We read the June 2005 Atlantic Monthly article about how China is on its way to being a formidable force in the world. We were just having some innocent fun before we have to hide in attics and cellars while invading Chinese people try to enslave us by screaming in our ears and feeding us day-old dim sum.
