But if he _were_ Chinese, it would be in terrible taste to tell him to
launder his humor. If you found fault with him because you assumed he's
_not_ Chinese, doesn't that reinforce the prejudice that Chinese people
should be treated differently?

I guess it is based on who said it. When JFK called
himself a jelly donut, we all smiled. When a China
man says he "velly goodly" we all smile. When a black
man describes his friend as a "good nig" we just
let it slide. But, let a white, Christian American
use some slang, and all hell breaks loose.
