<p>I was making fun of the Rice thread because it is four pages long (and counting) about whether or not Rice is “respected.”</p>
<p>I was NOT trying to make fun of Asians. I am half-Asian myself.</p>
<p>I was also poking fun at the similarities between college names (Cornell College vs. Cornell University and Northeastern University vs. Northwestern University).</p>
<p>Sorry in advance to anyone who took offense at my attempts at humor. No harm was intended.</p>
