Do we really need to interject ethnic stereotypes into the FML?  I find
personally offensive to have my Irish ethnicity slandered.  (for the
record: I DON'T have red hair, a drinking problem, eat corn beef or
cabbage, etc).  If the FML allows this type of stereotyping, what's
next - American ferrets as being loud & arrogant, British ferrets as
having bad teeth, female ferrets as being bad drives and bumping into
all the furniture, blonde ferrets as being dumb, black ferrets...?
People, let's think before we type!!!!!!
