# I used to tutor an engineering class
of about thirty people which because of the sensible alphabetic class-splitting contained six wongs and three tans. And two of the wongs were twins. Still ... made learning their names easier.

# And there's the old chinese laundry joke
which was on a range of T-shirts by some American company what got banned:

"Wong Bros. Laundry - two Wongs CAN make it white!"

*groan*

EDIT - it was Abercrombie and Fitch. Read about it here www.snopes.com/racial/business/tshirts.htm

Double edit - and Fine have been doing a similar line of shirts for year now ("Won Gud Lei", etc.) and they've never been banned.
