You are a fucking idiot.

   This person obviously meant that the dialogue boxes were confusing
and/or poorly written. The Chinese grad student analogy is present to
convey this. The grad student portion is used because they are so good at
bullshit-techno-babble. Add to this the fact that author was foreign and
we acheive a dialogue box that is poor at conveying its meaning.
   Why aren't you leaping to the defense of the graduate student? Get your
politically correct head out of your ass. Complain only about real racists
and racism will end just that much quicker.
