"I think everyone needs to just relax; it's just a movie :p

At any rate, America hardly has a monopoly on inaccuracies when producing
'historical' dramas.

Anyway, back to lurking on this subject.

AIIEEE!  I know it is just a movie...but sometimes people treat me unfairly
due to the fact that I am Asian, and worse... I am from a Chinese
background... so evertime U.S. - China got into a dispute, somepeople like
to think all Chinese are responsible (yes, even Chinese Americans)... now
take into account that few people can tell Japanese from Chinese... so I
(and other Asians) get to take blame for KEEPING the darn EP-3 Plane and now
thanks for the ignorant anger caused by that movie, the blame for attacking
that darn harbor.  Darn, it would be much easier being an African
American... wait, no, I would get lynched by the KKK who would make it like
a suicide (like what happenned in Mississippi several months ago).

Sob... it is hard being a minority in the U.S.A. ... especially you are from
a country which  U.S. officially doesn't like.
