Today, I had someone say something similar with chinaman in it. Same thing...I could not tell who it was.
What do you think is appropriate to do in this situation? I know certain races/ethnicities are highly offended by certain words used against them, so being a proud Korean, I do take offense to these comments.
Any words of wisdom would be helpful.....
Thanks...

I had this problem in a college game over the past weekend. There was this one fan making borderline comments to the opposing team. My partner looked at security and then the armed guard started moving over towards the person making the comments and he shut up for the rest of the game.
