Mr. Wellhouse,

The term "China Freight" might seem amusing to you because you are not
Chinese. To people of Chinese descent, it is offensive. You may not
realize it but not all listmembers are non-Chinese. For that matter,
you shouldn't have to be Chinese to realize how bad of a term that is.

All those terms you noted may be considered grounds for expulsion from
the List. Just as a certain listmember was recently removed for anti-
Semitic remarks, insistence of use of that term may cause your
postings to be moderated or your resignation from the List to be
requested.
