So we had a friend over a few weeks ago who is of Chinese descent. Me and my BF start quoting lines from the movie, and invariably, "the Chinaman is not the issue here" comes out. No problem, we're laughing, having fun, move on to the next thing.

About two weeks later, said friend calls my BF and is all, Dude, is K racist against Chinese or something, cuz when I was up there, she was saying Chinaman in like a derogatory way and, well, doesn't she know that's an offensive term?

Obviously, he is not a golfer! He said he had seen the movie, but apparently not enough to get the reference.

So what I wanna know is, has anyone else been misinterpreted while quoting the Big L???
