Lost: Sunglasses - reward

While at the Atlas Sound show, on Wednesday, 2/5, I lost my sunglasses at the Bell House.
If you found them please contact me for a reward.

good luck finding your glasses. I think you meant to type Wednesday 2/3

btw the name is very offensive.


Chinaman is a term that refers to a Chinese man, person, or in some cases, a racial term for any person of east Asian descent. Although the term originated in usage that was not originally offensive in intent, and was listed in older dictionaries,[1][2] its use evolved into a term often used against the Chinese and other Asians as they encountered increased discrimination and injustice in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Currently, usage of the term "chinaman" is strongly discouraged by Asian American organizations and others,[3][4][5][6] and considered offensive by modern dictionaries, dictionaries of slurs and euphemisms, and guidelines for racial harassment. It can be contrasted with the ethnic slur used for persons of African descent, which was also used as both a self-referential and pejorative description. The term has been used by Chinese and persons without stated offensive intent,[3][6] and has also been used as a self-referential archetype by authors and artists of Asian descent.[7]

I didn't blame anyone for the loss of my sunglasses - some chinaman in Korea took them from me - but I went out and achieved anyway.

Dude, Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.
