In that there was nothing overtly offensive about it, and it was sending up the situation we find ourselves in - no signings of note since Norman - and making positive links with Thailand. I've not even remotely implied in my comment that all Asian names are the same; merely used the name to make the joke that we've signed nobody. Granted you're not likely to find a genuine Thai man called Fu Kin; but we don't have links with other countries, and the joke wouldn't have worked.Oh. It was irony now? Do expand.
To be honest, it was all a bit lazy and a pretty rubbish attempt at humour. Maybe doesn't mean that you are racist etc, but still nothing to be particularly proud of - especially if you are so highly qualified.
I'm amazed it's caused such a stir to be honest - we must be bored. Don't feel its something for people to be particularly unimpressed by either. Some appreciated it for what it was - a joke.
