[ihc] RE: Welding carts and politically correct question

["Shubin, Pete" <pshubin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here, you would be taken into the street and flogged for use of such an
insensitive term.  Now maybe Chinaman-American may be acceptable.  A hyphen
in-between tow otherwise distinct characteristics to create a single indent
seems to be the trend.  Honestly it has gotten to a point where it is best
to drop any reference to race or national origin if you decide it best to be
politically correct.

Hmm, appears as if the same Chinaman may be making both carts. Interesting
that Eastwood undersells HF by $15 on this item.

Is the word "Chinaman" now not politically correct? Honest question, what's
the answer?
