Exactly. I'm disturbed by the implication here that after ninety years, racial slurs survive but nothing else. I've never had people call an East Asian language that unless they wanted to be deliberately racist. They would say Japanese or Korean or just Asian if they were really that clueless. He could have said that. "Oh, that language is called Asian." He would have been right and wrong at the same time. It could have been Mikkel and Tuuri arguing what language that was, and then the argument on fruit. So many other ways this could have gone without needing a damn racial slur.
