Why is this moderated up?

I'm usually not one to complain about posts on Slashdot. I might moderate it down if it really deserves it, but most of the time I just move on.

I feel the need to comment on this post, however. As a second generation Japanese American, whose parents were imprisoned by a racist government in WW2, I have to put up with enough stereotyping and racism in my day-to-day life. I hoped I could escape it in a community like Slashdot.

Apparantly not. Do you realize this statement is equivelant to saying, for example: "A black person eating watermelon? I am shocked." or perhaps "A person of Jewish faith being cheap? I am shocked."

Not only does it perpetuate a stereotype of Japanese people, but it pokes fun at entire nation of people.

Like I said, I expect this in the Southern US, but didn't think I'd ever see it on Slashdot. I'm a little ashamed to be a slashdotter today.

Note: For those wondering about my name, Gunth, it was taken on by my father in the 1940's in an attempt to fit in better with American culture. It's quite a funny story, actually, the common rumor in my family is that he got the name from a jar of Gunth's Brand Sardines :)
