"The newspaper said the caller, who used a code word to verify he was authorized to speak for the outlawed gang, defended the shooting and described the pizza delivery men as 'collaborators of British rule in Ireland.'"
Yeah, right. A local teenager trying to make some pocket money and a Polish guy probably trying to feed his kids. These "Real IRA" idiots are desperate for a rationalization because they FKD UP! The usual stupid gun-toting nitwits, IQs of around 63.

I've heard the word "double" suggested as a better term, the idea being that the person has at least two cultures to draw from. It's not so much a racial term as a cultural one.
Anyway, we all get this kind of crap just about anywhere. I had a older guy back home tell me "You're even starting to look like a chink".

I can only think of Mickey Rourke when I hear this. A nation of Mickey Rourkes. Or Mickey Mouses. Can you imagine having plastic surgery that would make you look like Mickey Mouse? Or Doraemon?

Nuclear power - safe and green. Then the leftovers glow in the dark forever.
America cannot remove its presence from Japan so quickly, right at once. If they did, Japan's second language would be Chinese in 10 years. (It may be already.) Forget about learning English.
