Attitude problem

This is to clarify my letter Anti-Chinese attitude published in The Jakarta Post on June 8, 2000.

The main point of the story was deleted from the previous letter: "... After the man roughly shoved my ethnic Chinese friend's chair and almost touched her back, I asked him what was wrong. He stood up and pointed his finger at me, almost touching my glasses, and shouted, 'Hey, you Chinese'! He even tried to hit my friend before his friends pulled his shirt and asked him to leave".

I hope this letter clarifies what I meant by an anti-Chinese attitude.
