- I guess 'asiatic' does not include Chinese, Japanese, Koreans
- etc. So far no one I know has ever said anything about their
- attitude of non-obeyance of laws. The Confucian ethic stands
- very clearly on the side of law.
-
- I suppose by 'asiatic' you meant some other people. Please
- elaborate on how it is that you view 'asiatics' as being
- much different than law-abiding Germans and other
- fine European folks. Are Arabs and Israelis also a part
- of the non-law-abiding 'asiatic' hordes ?
-
- Who else is included ?
