i've just seen the "racial slurs" on yvonne's recent blog entry. "you can't trust anyone who comes from a country that doesn't use chopsticks!" she says (darkly.) "what kind of barbarian puts sugar in his tea!" oh, you can't help but laugh! i love it when our prejudices all come out. i have just been finding this year that i always have to pour out a bowl of sugar when i have people over for tea. (not for the green ones, obviously. attentiveness to what guests desire is quite one thing, but that will never happen under my roof!)
