Just before Beijing OG. yeah, but, as I wrote, in Italian (Latin) culture it doesn't have anything to do with racism or offensive thoughts... it's more a joke, something like "hey Japan/China/Korea (put the far east Country you like the most) here we come!" or "this time we won ", depending on situations... but, as inappropriate it could be, it has no offensive meaning at all (there are other ways to offend oriental people here...mostly connected to their "yellow skin" rather than their almond eyes, which actually are appreciated a lot at our latitude, especially when they are not almost closed, but well open and supported by a good make up)...

Not a great surprise, Dutch federation doesn't want to spend money again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
