Gabbix2,
I am not accusing anyone here, but requesting that Dr. Hsiung make a determination as to the acceptability of the post in relation to the guidlines of the forum.
There are impotant issues in the post in question to me, for I do not see the post as "funny". I feel that these type of things,IMO, can have the potential to arrouse ill-will to the groups that are talked about in the post in question. I also feel put down by these type of things because I am one to be subject to these type of things also and have felt bad in the past when someone used jews in a sterotyped manner.I feel that any type of statenment that has the potential to sterotype a group of people on a mental health forum could be addressed by the moderator as to whether it is acceptable or not and that is why I have made the request. Perhaps in another place these type of things could be acceptable, but I am requesting if they are acceptable here, on a mental health forum where there is diversity among its mambers.
I have Chinese friends and Italian friends and British friends. I do feel bad when I read the post in question because one of the Chinese that I know is a psychiatrist at the University Hospital in Cincinnati. When I consider the post in question, I asked myself if I could show it to him. I do not think that I would want to because IMO, it has the potential to put down those of Chinese decent.
