Just so.
Not so. Tim is clearly a racist.
I'm actually delighted the Joichi Ito has, on the basis of my humor, denounced me as a racist. As a member of a "mongrelized society," as one prominent Japanese put it a while back (and not back in the 1940s...it was the 1980s), I am always happy to be called a racist by someone from one of the most racially homogeneous nations on earth, a nation which of course did not allow any "boat people" to settle in their nation, all the while denouncing the U.S. for letting only several hundred thousand boat people in.
