About the R thing, isn' t it just that many asian simply aren' t used to doing the sound? I mean, in Sweden there' s this accent called skånska where they use this really weird R sound which I can' t do but that' s not because my tounge is different. It' s just that I' m not used to it. Asians that where born in countries that uses regular R' s seem to say it like regular people. It' s like the english " th" sound, like in the word " the" . That' s a sound many swedes can' t make so they make a " D" or " T" sound instead. That is, if they suck and haven' t practiced english enough of course.

ORIGINAL: Byakko Considering I' m half Japanese and half Chinese, I think you better rethink that remark Then I hope that this... They have physically shorter tongues which is why they have trouble pronouncing L. ...was just a joke. And, it' s not necessarily true that you can' t be racist against your own ethnic group. Trust me, I have witnessed this MANY times. Anyways, let' s get away from this talk of race and prejudice, and just love the Wiimote!! Now, my tv is 9 and a half feet wide. Will the Wiimote work with it? Is there a maximum size?

It was a joke mocking the stereotype. You are too stupid to realize you are racist.

To ignore racial differences is being racist To assume all Asians to be physically, and culturally the same is racist. You are just being a fool. I' ve seen your kind before. Ignorant Caucasians and the like who desperately want to be ' heroes' for the Asian minority by pretending to stand up for them. Trying desperately to portray some ' He-man' image and shouldering the ' White Man' s Burden' . You ARE being a racist. The worse kind; the one in denial and too foolish and ignorant to realise their own actions. Now, I would appreciate an apology, and stop trying to be a ' hero' . I could prolly kill you myself, honestly.

How does a person ' have' a bad stereotype? You' re actually buckling, aren' t you? You lumped together all Asians into thinking that they can' t pronounce the R/L sound, when you were actually only basing it on the Japanese system. I can already easily pull out the fact that the Chinese have distinctive L and R sounds, hence the language system has Lei and Rei, and so on, which means differnet things. You acted out foolishly and ignorantly. I' m a true Asian, specifically of Japanese and Chinese descent. I learned both sides of my ethnic history despite the fact I' m Singaporean. To know that Japanese people have slightly shorter tongues is not racist. In fact, it' s respectful to learn fully the other person' s biology and culture. That' s anthropology FYI. I could even trace my history back to approximately which of the original aboriginal tribes people on Japan that my family came from, but that was long ago, and mostly guess-work. Anyway, let me put it this way. Who knows better, an actual Asian who learns her own ethnic history and also her regional history, and who has actual parents to tell her the facts? Or some anonymous little boy mouthing off without thinking, believing that vilifying someone else would make himself look good? Infantile, really.

You' re gonna argue who' s more racist ? :) SilentB - that shit was funny :) Chee Saw - It works with any TV or projector - the sensor bar must be below or above your screen.There could be some calibration for Wii to learn where your screen' s edges are.

Okay, first of all, the in-game scenes from Enchanted Arms look WAY better than those of FFXII (which are only slightly improved from FFX). I' ll be the first to admit that the CG scenes from FF look AMAZING, but Square/Enix has a HUGE budget for cutscenes as this is the core of their games. The cut-scenes from EnArm look pretty amazing too (though not as good). In Singapore, everyone speaks English. I learned English before I ever learned Chinese, and I speak Chinese worse than most It' s not a prerequisite to complete my Mother Tongue A' Levels for me to get into Uni, so I quit. The emphasis on speaking good English here is insane! They even had a campaign to wipe out our native slang ' Singlish' , which is really a shame, since it' s fun to speak to it Trivia: If anyone watches Desperate Housewives; the Chinese maid who carries Eva Longoria' s baby is a Singaporean actress She' s become a regular! Go her X3!
