candy-coating a bitter pill? Chip Tsao made a grievous mistake. Satire is not a license to insult a whole race! He crossed the line. Fyi, here's a part of wikipedia's definition of satire, "Although satire is usually meant to be funny, the purpose of satire is not primarily humour in itself so much as an attack on something of which the author strongly disapproves, using the weapon of wit". Don't insult our intelligence. We can distinguish a joke, but Chip Tsao's dig was malicious, that's why there's a 'mountain' of reaction from filipinos. Lastly, don't lecture us about freedom, it has absolutely nothing to do with freedom of expression or being selective. We are one of the freest country in Asia. Freedom- maybe you wouldn't know it if it stares you in the face, but that, is another issue...
