More on the Aust factor...
As Chuck Colson used to say, "If you grab them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow."
One person by the name of Papyrus2006 who participates on Mark Tabladillo's Jesus Loves Fellowship, probably did that. Regarding Jerold Aust's lame attempt of a "joke" on his website, here's the action what papyrus took:
You will see that the offensive piece is now removed.
I sent him a brief email asking that he remove it and suggested he post an apology. I tried to do this with kindness and genleness, and spared him the diatribe I posted here.
So, it is gone now, and while there is no apology on the site I have received one in my email. The apology, however, is qualified by two statements. He is sorry for the offense, but also states (1) the piece came from the internet and (2) he has Chinese friends who were not offended.
Not quite the graciousness I hoped for, but there you have it...

Nice work Papyrus! Now if someone can get that Aussie minister to apologize about black women calling them bubble butts and all...well I guess you can't win 'em all. I let the Judge of All handle that comment.
Thank you for your lengthy and thoughtful clarification and response, Papyrus!
