Even more seriously...

Who Flung Poo & Ho Lee Chit - seriously?
With this thinly-veiled bigotry, why would any Chinese, or that matter other Asian people, want to participate in the railfan hobby?
In another forum, I saw a photo taken at Winter Rail. Almost all of the people in the photo were older white guys. That's not good for continued existence of the hobby.
To anyone who says "It's just a joke and I need to lighten up" that's fine to joke like that if you are with Chinese friends/acquaintances who've known you enough that you can engage in edgy humor. It's an entirely different matter for someone coming coming into this forum for the first time not knowing any of you to read that. This is particularly true on AP where I rarely read any positive commentary about people who are not white.
