No it's not racism; but as much as you and your tree-hugging ilk will deny it, there ARE differences in attitude between races AND cultures so try and understand that... One 'eastern' feature is seniority and gradient (rank, age etc). And let's face it, they did crash a perfectly good aeroplane into the ground!
