John, I know you didn't mean any harm, but if Ms Tammy was of an ethnic group that someone was using a slang word to describe, on an open forum like this, would you feel the same. I have a hard enough time, getting my wife to attend our function now. I don't need anything to make her more alienated. I am sorry, if I am a little sensitive. Hiromi is a great Christian person and don't take offense at this sort of thing. She is very proud to be an American.
