Here i stumbled upon a perfect md-11 x-wind landing. See how the ailerons are turned full and constant into the wind on the ground. Very unlike the bad landing in the first post, where the guy relaxed the ailerons several times.

The problem with Asians, as with any other big group of people is, you only hear about those few who really mess up. There must be thousands of Asian pilots landing their planes every day without any fuss and incident, but you will never hear of them. And thus, they will for sure not get such nicknames, right?
Now, vice versa, it's the same thing. You don't really think, there aren't any equivalents fro Western names used that way in Asian languages? Lets be honest here, it is just human. It's not a big deal, or it hasn't been for the last couple thousand years. Now of course, someone feels "politically correct touched" and makes it a big deal. Which only proves the point that the ability to be annoying is also inherently human.
Free speech can never be achieved by dictatorial measures!
