Any players outside of europe and north america?

BTW I`m british and I`m not offended by being called a brit. Also I found out that "jap" was a term coined by americans post pearl harbour and simply used as an abreviation of japanese.
However if there are some japanese players on the forum who are offended by this term and not westerners who think that the name is offensive then by all means I`ll delete the post.

In the UK, before I left, we weren`t allowed to say blackboard in college because of the possible offense it could cause. Strangely this decision was made by the principal who was white.

That's just silly, "blackboard" used as an ethnic slur is simply never heard of... contrary to jap, which is definitely pejorative, no matter how you interpret it or how much you care about being called a brit (!).

Also, nitpicking there, but... poVoq: the electrons don't travel at light speed. In cabling, it's of the order of millimeters per second or less.

And now I'm completely offtopic.
