Jonathan Gardner of Cnet Asia had an interesting take on Asus’ over-stretching of the Eee brand, blaming it on the company’s inability to change their local, “Confucian” corporate culture. Gardner, a columnist who apparently knows people, declared that “Asus will not be the next Samsung,” mainly because they’re following the path of a “typical” Taiwan business story. So, by interesting, I mean arguably incorrect and also kind of racist.

Why the hell is everyone so damned politically correct? People generalise. Get over it. There is positive generalisation, negative generalisation and offensive generalisation. Offensive generalisation is racist. Yes racism is bad; so what. It will always exist because you can’t stop people generalising. It is a mental tool that all humans use. Stop being so thin-skinned and maybe try and be a bit more tolerant. You all talk like someone’s been shot.
