    Chinese people don't have problem pronounce "l" in English, it's Japanese who normally have difficulties. Nice try though

    Sensitive? I don't get it, I was merely pointing out some misunderstandings when it comes to pronunciation, how's that sensitive?

    Some Chinese people do, especially Southern Chinese. "n"/"l"/"r" are pretty much interchangeable in some Chinese dialects.

    Yes, but proper Mandarin does make the distinction. Japanese, as a whole, have a far bigger problem with those consonants than the Chinese. As far as the stereotype goes, it stemmed from the Japanese - not the Chinese. Just like how the "Ching Chong" insults stem from the Chinese, and not the Japanese.

    yeah, a racist stereotype isn't completely accurate, congrats on your findings.

    Uh... I was simply responding to the guy saying some Chinese people can't pronounce n/l/r. I didn't care to scroll back to see your involvement, but I'm sure it was some mind blowing insight.

    This was simply Lin-credible. I watched the whole game at buffalo wild wings, and when he made that game winning shot, I literally yelled so loud, and I got the whole buffalo wild wings attention to the game and then everyone starting getting all hyped. Hahahaha, classic. So many people didn't even know who Lin was, very interesting!

    Pretty much exactly what happened when Yao Ming and the Houston Rockets came into town in every city. We didn't complain then lol.

    The Knicks have themselves a cash cow. Even if Lin's production drops, they will keep him just like the Rockets did with Yao for a few years too long. Its all about the $$$.
