I was in basic training before I knew "boy" was an insult with racial tones.

I'm more tuned to it than before, but I had no idea of stiffler's issue here. Hell, I couldn't have told you that Patel was a common Indian name before reading this thread.
A guy in one of my associations worked a playoff game and some fan referred to him as Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. The fan was removed. It was a district playoff game and the fan was related to a school administrator. [His partner was the guy who got the fan removed].

After he told the story, I asked him whether he was Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan.
