But "Asian" is a race classification, and the "racist element" I was referring to in my comment was the fact that non-Asians can't seem to tell the difference between Chinese, Japanese, and other Asian cultures. I'm Asian, BTW, so I have had direct experience with this. Another BTW: to say that Japanese use "r" for "l" is an oversimplification that shows me you've never actually studied the language. “First off the japanese are not a race, and that in no way is racism.”

Horry Kow was created by a Balkin imigrant simply to make$$$ The creator is a Chinese imigrant who owns a screen print shop. So technically it has a chinese slant. Pun semiintended. Horry Kow is no more racist then Mama Celeste saying Ambondanza it simply points out the fact that japanese use R for L. First off the japanese are not a race, and that in no way is racism.
