	May I suggest you do a bit of thinking yourself. Danish is a piece of pastry and yes.....I am a little cake filled with sweet yellow cream.

I did find you quite yummy!

Hi,
few days ago I was in a club with a friend of mine and he ( parents from Germany but grown up in Australia) starts to talk with a very nice girl that told him:"I speak German and English but I don't want speak neither because I don't want talk with foreigners and I just want speak Swiss German!!!"
Yeah, She's stupid, but I also fell a litte bit of racism in her words...

To use a strong word like racism in such a trivial matter makes your observation trivial. Try looking up the words before writing them down. By the way the correct word would be discriminatory.

discrimination by race or/and ethnicity = racism...
racism is a subgroup of discrimination.

Instead of lecturing the subject , please try to say "yes/no.. because" much it comes off much less pedantic.

P.S. I don't usually write this kind of posts but, this one did rub me the wrong way for some reason.
P.S.1: Has anyone noticed that on emails and internet the P.S is totally useless... I mean you can edit the content without issues.
